Toyota announced the 2027 RAV4 on November 5, and the headline for shoppers is simple: the RAV4 is still hybrid-only. The cheapest 2027 RAV4, the Hybrid LE with front-wheel drive, starts at $32,300 before the $1,595 destination fee, and the plug-in hybrid starts at $42,100. Below are the 2027 RAV4 prices by trim, the MPG of every grade and when each version reaches dealers.
Is the 2027 RAV4 hybrid only?
Yes. Toyota calls the 2027 lineup "fully electrified": there is no gas-only RAV4, and every trim is either a hybrid (HEV) or a plug-in hybrid (PHEV).
| Powertrain | Engine | Output | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hybrid | 2.5L four-cylinder, fifth-generation hybrid system | 222 hp (FWD), 229 hp (AWD) | FWD or AWD |
| Plug-in hybrid | 2.5L four-cylinder, sixth-generation PHEV system | 321 hp | AWD standard |
2027 RAV4 price by trim
Toyota's release gives only the two starting prices. TFLcar published a fuller list that includes the $1,595 destination fee; where another report states the price before destination, it is shown too.
| 2027 RAV4 trim | Before destination | With $1,595 destination |
|---|---|---|
| Hybrid LE (FWD) | $32,300 | $33,895 |
| Hybrid XLE Premium | — | $38,095 |
| Hybrid Woodland | $40,655 | $42,250 |
| Hybrid XSE | — | $43,495 |
| Hybrid Limited (AWD) | $43,900 | $45,495 |
| Plug-in SE | $42,100 | $43,695 |
| Plug-in XSE | $47,800 | $49,395 |
| Plug-in GR Sport | $49,100 | $50,695 |
The plug-in Woodland is the one figure the reports disagree on: Electrek lists $46,055 before destination, while TFLcar shows $47,450 with destination. Wait for Toyota's configurator before budgeting around it.
How much more than a 2026 RAV4?
- Hybrid LE FWD: up $400, from $31,900.
- Plug-in SE: up $600, from $41,500.
- Hybrid Limited AWD: up $600, according to Dealership Guy.
- Destination: $1,595, which Motor1 says is $145 more than for 2026.
- All-wheel drive on the front-drive hybrid trims now adds $1,600 instead of $1,400 (Motor1).
2027 RAV4 MPG by trim
These are Toyota's EPA-estimated figures for the 2027 model. The EPA's fueleconomy.gov does not list the 2027 RAV4 yet; its 2026 ratings are within 1 mpg of these.
| 2027 RAV4 Hybrid | City | Highway | Combined |
|---|---|---|---|
| LE, SE, XLE Premium FWD | 46 | 40 | 43 |
| LE, SE AWD | 45 | 39 | 42 |
| XLE Premium AWD | 44 | 38 | 41 |
| XSE, Limited AWD | 43 | 37 | 40 |
| Woodland AWD | 40 | 35 | 38 |
The plug-in hybrid trades a little hybrid-mode economy for real electric range:
| 2027 RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid | City | Highway | Combined | Electric range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SE AWD | 42 | 39 | 41 | 52 miles |
| XSE AWD | 40 | 37 | 39 | 50 miles |
| Woodland AWD | 38 | 35 | 37 | 46 miles |
| GR Sport AWD | 39 | 34 | 37 | 45 miles |
What's new for 2027
- NACS charging port: every RAV4 plug-in now has a Tesla-style NACS port with DC fast charging, moved to the driver's side. The onboard AC charger is 11 kW on all PHEV grades.
- Taller Woodland: new springs, shocks and jounce bumpers lift ground clearance to 9.1 inches, against 8.1 inches for most other grades. The Woodland comes as a hybrid or a plug-in and keeps all-terrain tires, roof cross bars and a tow hitch receiver.
- New drive modes: AWD models get Multi-Terrain Select with Rock & Dirt and Mud & Sand settings, replacing Trail mode; Snow mode moves to the drive mode switch.
- Smaller items: a backup camera washer on every grade and a five-year Remote Connect trial instead of one year.
2027 RAV4 release date
Toyota expects the 2027 RAV4 Hybrid at U.S. dealers later in 2026. The plug-in hybrid follows in early 2027.
Toyota's other hybrid-only model got the same treatment this fall: see the 2027 Camry price and MPG by trim. For older RAV4s, our Toyota RAV4 specs list oil capacity, tire sizes and maintenance by year, such as the 2023 RAV4 Hybrid.
