What Are the Specs of the Toyota RAV4?

2026 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid near South Bend IN

The RAV4 Hybrid comes in two powertrain configurations: a 2.5L Hybrid FWD making 226 hp and 170 lb-ft of torque, and a 2.5L Hybrid AWD that bumps output to 236 hp with the same 170 lb-ft of torque.* Both deliver smooth, responsive acceleration that makes merging on US-31 or on the highway feel effortless.

The Toyota RAV4 AWD horsepower and MPG story is one of the strongest in the segment: 236 hp sounds modest until you’re merging with confidence and still watching your fuel gauge barely move. The hybrid system blends an Atkinson-cycle engine with dual electric motors, so you get efficiency where it counts (city stop-and-go) and power when you need it.*
