MODEL VIEW

The Toyota RAV4 continues to be one of the most popular and best-selling SUVs on the market. The compact SUV arrived as a completely redesigned model in 2019, so it’s about time the RAV4 received a refresh.

Rumors suggest that the RAV4 could arrive with a refresh in 2024, though nothing has been confirmed yet.
The current RAV4 features a rugged and aggressive design. Refreshments that might make the SUV move to share a similar design to the Sequoia. The RAV4 will adopt a larger grille, new headlights, and a more square design.

We can see the RAV4 getting new taillights and a new liftgate design. The current SUV features prominent body lines, a split front-end design with thin air intakes that sit above a large grille, and rear-swept headlights. The rear of the RAV4 features dual exhaust outlets, a small rear spoiler, and rectangular taillights connected by trim pieces.

The current RAV4’s interior design features a simple look that emphasizes usability. The tiered dashboard places the central touchscreen close to the driver, while the center console features large controls for the HVAC system.

Toyota placed the vehicle controls next to the gear shifter for ease of use. The refresh could see the RAV4 get an updated dashboard design and a revised center console, though the overall design should remain the same.
