Even today, it still looks fresh. For 2026, the design remains familiar but with subtle aerodynamic tweaks here and there.<\/p>\n<p>The front fascia embraces Toyota&rsquo;s latest design language, as seen on the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2025\/01\/2025-toyota-prius-adds-nightshade-version-but-is-pricier-than-last-year\/\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Prius<\/a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2024\/04\/driven-the-2025-toyota-camry-distills-its-strengths-into-an-attractive-package\/\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new Camry<\/a>. It sports wrap-around DRLs with hammerhead inner sections and a honeycomb grille. We expect a few differences from our preliminary illustration that&rsquo;s based on prototypes spied in Japan, so the final product may look squarer with more contrasting elements.<\/p>\n<p>From the side, the RAV4 maintains its recognizable silhouette, with two-tone roof options and bold contrasting lower cladding. The glasshouse and pillar layout are nearly identical to the current model. Around back, you&rsquo;ll likely see a full-width LED taillight cluster paired with squared-off lower cladding that features silver inlays for a modern touch.<\/p>\n<p>Given Honda&rsquo;s recent announcement of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2025\/01\/new-honda-cr-v-coming-in-2025-with-rugged-trailsport-variant\/\">more rugged CR-V TrailSport trim<\/a> coming later this year as part of a mid-cycle facelift, it&rsquo;s highly likely that Toyota won&rsquo;t want to be left behind in this growing segment.
