The Toyota RAV4 is one of the world’s most popular SUVs, known for its rugged design and advanced hybrid technology. Now, the 6th generation Toyota RAV 4 is officially unveiled in the international market.
But when is it coming to India ? Let’s discuss the Toyota RAV4 launch date in India. We will also discuss what the 6th-gen RAV 4 is all about? So let’s start
Toyota RAV 4 launch date in India & Expected Price !
Indian car lovers are getting excited after spotting the RAV4 being tested on local roads. Could this mean it’s finally making its way to India?
Let’s explore what we know so far about Toyota RAV4 launch date in India, expected price, design, and features.
On a very clear note, Toyota has not yet officially confirmed the launch of the RAV4 in India. However, the SUV has been seen testing multiple times—first in Pune back in 2022 and more recently on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway with an ARAI testing sticker.
This indicates Toyota is seriously considering the Indian market, especially for its hybrid offerings. Industry experts believe the RAV4 could be launched around April 2026. If it arrives, it will likely come as a Completely Built Unit (CBU), which means higher pricing due to import taxes.
The estimated price range then could be ₹35 lakh to ₹40 lakh (ex-showroom). This puts it in the premium SUV category, slightly cheaper than the Fortuner.

Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Power !
The new 6th gen Toyota RAV4 introduces a bold, hybrid-only powertrain lineup, marking a significant leap in performance and efficiency for this iconic SUV.
It offers two electrified options:
- a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)
- a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV).
The HEV pairs a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder petrol engine with Toyota’s fifth-generation hybrid system, delivering 226 hp in front-wheel drive (a new option) or 236 hp in all-wheel drive, achieving an impressive 39–41 mpg (16.6–17.4 km/l).
On the other hand, the PHEV, combines the same 2.5-liter engine with a 22.7 kWh lithium-ion battery, producing up to 320 hp and a 0–60 mph sprint in 5.5 seconds, alongside a 50-mile electric-only range.
Both powertrains feature an e-CVT transmission and drive modes like Eco, Sport, and Trail.
Final Thoughts on Toyota RAV4 launch date in India !
The Toyota RAV4 seems ready to bring its global success story to India. With hybrid power, bold design, and premium features, it could be a strong option for buyers looking for a future-ready SUV.
However, its high price as a CBU may limit its reach. We’re still waiting on Toyota’s official word, but signs point to a big reveal sometime in 2026 especially in the starting.
