Toyota is preparing to bring the Toyota RAV4, its globally acclaimed premium hybrid SUV, to the Indian market by late 2025. Known for its rugged looks, reliable hybrid drivetrain, and practical interior, the RAV4 has been a consistent bestseller in markets like the US, Europe, and Australia. In India, it will be positioned between the Toyota Innova Hycross and the Fortuner, offering urban buyers a global mid-size SUV with excellent fuel efficiency, hybrid tech, and Toyota’s bulletproof reliability.
Bold SUV Design with International DNA
The Toyota RAV4 stands out with its sharp, muscular stance, sculpted sides, aggressive grille, and LED projector headlamps with DRLs. Its design balances rugged SUV elements with aerodynamic sophistication, making it suitable for both city commutes and long highway drives. Riding on 18-inch alloy wheels and offering good ground clearance, the RAV4 looks every bit like a global urban SUV with outdoor appeal.
Hybrid Powertrain with Excellent Mileage
The RAV4 is expected to come with Toyota’s trusted 2.5L petrol engine paired with a strong hybrid system, delivering a combined output of around 218 PS. Mated to an e-CVT transmission, it offers smooth, refined performance and impressive fuel efficiency of 22–24 km/l (claimed). The hybrid system also allows short electric-only drives in city conditions, lowering emissions and running costs.
Feature-Rich Cabin with Toyota’s Signature Reliability
Inside, the RAV4 offers a spacious and practical layout, with a 10.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system, digital driver display, dual-zone climate control, wireless charging, ventilated seats, powered tailgate, and connected car tech. The SUV’s interior uses soft-touch materials, and the seating position offers a commanding view of the road. Ample boot space, adjustable rear seats, and wide cabin width make it perfect for family use.
Top-Tier Safety with Toyota Sense ADAS
Globally, the RAV4 comes equipped with Toyota Safety Sense, which includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, autonomous emergency braking, blind spot monitor, and rear cross-traffic alert. The India-spec version is also expected to get 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP, hill start assist, and 360-degree camera, offering a premium safety suite in its class.
Toyota RAV4 Price in India & Competition
The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is expected to launch in India via CKD or CBU route by end of 2025, with pricing estimated between ₹35 lakh and ₹42 lakh (ex-showroom). It will directly compete with the Hyundai Tucson, Citroën C5 Aircross, Jeep Compass, and Honda CR-V (if reintroduced). With its global reputation, excellent hybrid mileage, and Toyota’s reliability, the RAV4 is expected to become a strong choice for Indian buyers looking for a premium urban SUV with green credentials.
