Bought it for the school runs and road trips and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.

2026 Toyota RAV4 review
Toyota RAV4: a sensible pick with a few compromises. Illustrative review
8.0/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Toyota RAV4 is a strong contender in its class. Well-organized infotainment; roomy second row and flexible cargo floor. Third row (where offered) is for kids and touch-only climate controls on some trims, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $30,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

Bought it for the school runs and road trips and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.
The cargo room is the standout. My only gripe is the touchscreen climate controls, which I knew going in.
