Toyota has announced updates for the 2027 model year of its popular RAV4, with the off-road-oriented Woodland variant receiving a reworked suspension that adds an inch of ground clearance. This modification aims to enhance the vehicle's capability in rough terrain compared to the 2026 redesign which introduced exclusively hybridized drivetrains. Additionally, all plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) models in the lineup will now feature compatibility with the North American Charging Standard (NACS). These changes represent a strategic shift to broaden the RAV4's appeal to both off-road enthusiasts and those requiring modern charging infrastructure.
