2027 Toyota RAV4 Woodland Gains An Inch Where It Counts, All PHEVs Get NACS And Level 3 Charging

Key Points:

• The 2027 Toyota RAV4 sees mostly minor updates following its major 2026 redesign, with the off-road-focused Woodland trim gaining an inch of ground clearance through a reworked suspension and redesigned floor mats.
• All plug-in hybrid (PHEV) RAV4 models, including the GR Sport, now feature an NACS port with DC fast-charging capability and an 11-kW onboard AC charger, improving charging performance and standardizing the charge port location to the driver's side.
• Pricing has increased modestly, with base RAV4 LE starting at $33,895 (up $400) and the PHEV SE trim at $43,695 (up $600); the Woodland trim is $755 more expensive at $42,250, reflecting its suspension upgrades.
• Fuel economy for the Woodland trim sees slight declines in city mileage, but remains strong overall, while the PHEV Woodland loses some electric range but gains highway MPG; the GR Sport PHEV's electric range decreases by 3 miles despite improved charging features.
• Additional updates include standard backup camera washers on all models and enhanced all-wheel-drive Multi-Terrain Select modes; 2027 hybrid RAV4s will arrive at dealerships later this year, with PHEV versions expected early next year.
