The Electric Miles Are the Real Story in Toyota's $48,000 RAV4 Woodland

Toyota's plug-in hybrid RAV4 Woodland for 2026 can cover 49 miles on battery power alone before its gasoline engine joins in. That figure comes from The Drive, which put the crossover through a full evaluation and found the number holds up. For an owner whose weekday driving stays close to home, that range means most trips need not burn fuel at all. The same evaluation praised the hybrid system itself as strong and refined in the way it delivers power. The sticker lands near $48,000, a sum that places this RAV4 well above the model's usual neighborhood. The Drive's verdict is that the drivetrain and the electric range justify the price, even though the Woodland's outdoorsy trim is more about appearance than any added capability off pavement. We have not driven the car ourselves, so those judgments belong to the reviewer.
