One of its most important models, which last year became the world's third best-seller with sales of 1.02-million units, the first new RAV4 in seven years will still ride on the existing TNGA-K platform, but with speculated extensive revisions similar to those of the latest Camry.

Shown in spy images as having a silhouette similar to the Crown Signia that replaced the Venza in the United States last year, the RAV4 will reportedly continue to be offered with hybrid and plug-in hybrid powerunits, though seemingly no longer with an electrically unassisted combustion engine option. Watch this space The model that unsettled the Ford F-150 to become the US' best-selling vehicle last year with sales of 475 193 versus 460 915 units, the RAV4 will most likely to go on-sale around year-end in Japan and the States, before being exported to other markets later. As such, market availability for South Africa will only be announced at a later stage. If approved, expect sales to possibly start by the end of 2025 or in early 2026.
