2026 Toyota RAV4 interior shown ahead of launch next week
Parts of the interior of the sixth-generation Toyota RAV4 have been revealed ahead of the crossover's launch on May 21.
Overnight Toyota Europe published two photos, one showing the upper section of the dashboard and steering wheel, and the other revealing the centre tunnel section dividing the driver and passenger's seats.

From the first photo we can see the dash panel has a chunkier design than today's car. Ahead of the driver is steering wheel — possibly with only two spokes — featuring squared-off spokes with a larger buttons.
The digital instrumentation screen does without a binnacle, and what looks to be a larger infotainment touchscreen stands clear in the middle of the dashboard.
In the next photo we can see the centre stack flows directly into the centre tunnel. The rubberised rings for the climate control knobs have been ushered away, as has the traditional gear shifter, which has been replaced by a flick switch.
The cupholders are now lined up along the spine of the car, and the central armrest, as well as the cubby bin beneath, look as though they extend further forward than before.
We can also see new seat designs, and a new look for the door cards.
The automaker has also issued a few shots of the exterior, but these only show the vehicle from long range and high above, so we're unable to make out any details.
Thanks to spy photos we know the sixth-generation RAV4 will have a new front end with C-shaped headlights not dissimilar to the ones used on the latest Camry. Japanese media believe the rear end will feature full-width tail-lights.
Although the door apertures look to be same, leaked images out of China indicate the outer sheet metal has been changed to incorporate more creases and folds.
'We could sell 500,000 of those things [RAV4] a year if we could build them, so we do not want to mess up that formula,' Toyota Motor North America product planning head Cooper Ericksen told Automotive News in July 2024.
Up until the end of April, the RAV4 (17,610) is leading the Australian sales race, just ahead of the Ford Ranger (17,257) and Toyota HiLux (15,120).
In the States, the RAV4 has usurped the Camry to become the country's leading passenger car. According to Good Car Bad Car, after the first quarter of 2025 the RAV4 (115,402) currently sits in third spot behind the Ford F-Series (190,389) and Chevrolet Silverado (129,714).
