(Web Desk) Japanese automaker Toyota has officially announced the launch date for its much-anticipated new RAV4 SUV.

It is set to debut on May 21, according to the company.

Toyota has also released a few teaser images, offering a glimpse of the SUV’s early design language. From the visuals, the new RAV4 appears to fall into the mid-size SUV category, positioning itself between the current Urban Cruiser and CH-R+ models.

The design features a modern, dynamic approach aimed squarely at appealing to urban drivers.

The interior has been overhauled to reflect contemporary needs, boasting a fully digital driver display, a large central infotainment screen, and a rear-view mirror integrated with a camera to provide a live feed of what’s behind the car.

These tech upgrades are expected to enhance both driving comfort and safety.

Early reports suggest the powertrain is likely to feature a hybrid setup, with performance and fuel efficiency similar to the previous model.

An electric variant is also expected, potentially offered with either a 57.7 kWh or 77 kWh battery pack, marking a significant step forward for EV enthusiasts.

This latest RAV4 will be a key addition to Toyota’s electrified SUV lineup, which already includes the Yaris Cross, bZ4X, Urban Cruiser, CH-R, and CH-R+.
