Toyota's RAV4 GR Sport debuts as the sporty flagship of the new RAV4 range but uses the same plug-in hybrid powertrain as the standard 4WD model sold in Britain.
It uses a 2.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine with three electric motors, a 20kWh battery and a claimed 75-mile electric range, and Toyota says 0–62 mph takes just under six seconds.
Toyota fitted the GR Sport with bespoke chassis tuning—high-performance front dampers, a reinforced rear brace and revised springs—yielding tighter body control and a more direct steering feel than the standard RAV4.
Inside, GR badges and red stitching are the main changes, while two paddles control six regenerative-braking settings that are mild and not retained after a drive; the RAV4 GR Sport remains comfortable and efficient rather than an outright performance SUV.
