Toyota's 2026 SUV Lineup

2026 Toyota C-HR — Now Fully Electric

The 2026 C-HR is a completely new vehicle compared to the outgoing model. Toyota has dropped the gas engine entirely, making the C-HR a fully electric subcompact SUV for the Canadian market.

Key specs:

• Powertrain: Electric (FWD or AWD)
• Range: Up to ~380 km (FWD) or ~468 km (AWD, depending on trim)
• 0-100 km/h: As quick as 5.2 seconds in AWD
• Passengers: 5
• Starting MSRP: ~$44,900

The 2026 C-HR comes standard with a 14-inch centre touchscreen running Toyota's Multimedia system, a digital gauge cluster, dual wireless charging pads, and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0. It uses the NACS charging port (compatible with Tesla's charging network), and Level 3 DC fast charging can take the battery from 10% to 80% in roughly 30 minutes. Available in three trims: SE, XSE, and Premium.

Definition — NACS (North American Charging Standard): A charging connector format originally developed by Tesla and now adopted by most automakers. It gives EV drivers access to a much wider network of fast-charging stations across Canada.

2026 Toyota Corolla Cross — Compact and Practical

The Corolla Cross continues as one of Toyota's more affordable compact crossover options, slotting between the C-HR and RAV4 in terms of size.

Key specs:

• Powertrain: 2.0L gas or hybrid
• Passengers: 5
• Starting MSRP: ~$31,800 (gas); ~$39,200 (hybrid)

Available in front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive, the Corolla Cross hybrid is a fuel-efficient option for budget-conscious buyers who still want a practical AWD crossover. Standard features include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

2026 Toyota RAV4 — Fully Redesigned, Hybrid-Only

2026 Toyota RAV4 | Photo: Toyota Canada

This is the big one for 2026. The RAV4 enters its sixth generation with a complete redesign and a major powertrain shift: Toyota is dropping the gas-only option entirely. Every 2026 RAV4 sold in Canada is a hybrid or plug-in hybrid.

Key specs (Hybrid):

• Powertrain: 5th-gen hybrid system, 236 horsepower
• Drive: AWD standard on all models
• Passengers: 5
• Starting MSRP: ~$37,500 (LE AWD)

Toyota has organized the 2026 RAV4 around three design themes: Core (LE, XLE, XLE Premium, Limited), Sport (XSE, XSE with Tech Package), and Rugged (Woodland — a standalone off-road grade). Every model gets Toyota Safety Sense 4.0, and the Arene software platform powers the new infotainment system with 5G connectivity.

New colour options include Wind Chill Pearl and Storm Cloud, available in two-tone with a black roof. Higher trims add features like a power moonroof, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, a multi-information display, hands-free power liftgate, and alloy wheels up to 20 inches.

All 2026 RAV4 hybrid models sold in Canada are assembled at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (TMMC) in Ontario.

2026 Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid

The RAV4 PHEV (plug-in hybrid) is all-new for 2026 as well — and Toyota has actually dropped the price compared to 2025.

Key specs (PHEV):

• Powertrain: 2.5L + two electric motors, 324 horsepower (up 22 hp over the 2025 model)
• EV Range: ~80 km electric (up about 20% from 2025)
• Drive: AWD
• Starting MSRP: ~$48,750 (down from $51,715 in 2025)

Standard equipment includes heated front seats, heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Toyota Safety Sense 4.0. A first-ever GR Sport trim (starting ~$57,500) adds exclusive styling from Toyota's GAZOO Racing division — 20-inch alloy wheels, red-painted brake calipers, and a sport-tuned suspension.

Definition — PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid): A hybrid vehicle that can be plugged into an external power source to recharge its battery, allowing it to drive on electricity alone for a set range before the gas engine takes over.

2026 Toyota Crown Signia — Stylish Hybrid Crossover

The Toyota Crown Signia is one of Toyota's newer nameplates, and it's positioned as a premium hybrid crossover that sits above the RAV4 but below the Highlander.

Key specs:

• Powertrain: Hybrid AWD
• Passengers: 5
• Starting MSRP: ~$61,000

The Crown Signia has a distinctive fastback-style roofline that sets it apart from the more boxy competitors in its segment. It's a good option for buyers who want hybrid efficiency with a more elevated interior experience. Like other Toyota hybrids, the automatic transmission and AWD system are standard. Available trim levels include XSE and Limited.

2026 Toyota Highlander Hybrid — The Family Favourite

The Highlander has been a cornerstone of Toyota's three-row SUV lineup for over two decades, and the 2026 hybrid version remains one of the better choices for families who want efficiency without giving up space.

Key specs:

• Powertrain: 2.5L hybrid, AWD
• Passengers: Up to 8
• Starting MSRP: ~$57,500

Features on higher trims include heated front seats, ventilated front seats, heated steering wheel, a power moonroof, hands-free power liftgate, multi-information display, and alloy wheels. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard. If you're shopping for an older model, our guide to buying a used Toyota Highlander (2008-2019) is a useful starting point.

2026 Toyota Grand Highlander & Grand Highlander Hybrid — More of Everything

2026 Toyota Grand Highlander | Photo: Toyota Canada

The Grand Highlander launched as a new nameplate a couple of model years ago, and it slots above the regular Highlander in size. If you need serious third-row space, this is where to look.

Key specs (Grand Highlander):

• Powertrain: 2.4L turbocharged gas, AWD
• Passengers: Up to 8
• Starting MSRP: ~$55,200

Key specs (Grand Highlander Hybrid):

• Powertrain: i-FORCE MAX hybrid, AWD
• Passengers: 7–8
• Starting MSRP: ~$58,600

The Grand Highlander is meaningfully larger than the standard Highlander, with more second- and third-row legroom and cargo space behind the third row. Features across the lineup include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated front seats, and available ventilated front seats. The hybrid version delivers extra power from Toyota's i-FORCE MAX system — a good option for towing or drivers who regularly carry a full load of passengers.

If you're debating between the Highlander and Grand Highlander, it mostly comes down to whether third-row occupants are full-size adults. The Grand Highlander wins that comparison comfortably.

2026 Toyota 4Runner & 4Runner Hybrid — Built for the Trail

2026 Toyota 4Runner | Photo: Toyota Canada

The 4Runner has been completely redesigned on Toyota's TNGA-F platform (shared with the Tacoma, Tundra, Land Cruiser, and Sequoia), and the 2026 model year is a significant step forward for this iconic off-road SUV.

Key specs:

• Powertrains: i-FORCE gas (4WD) or i-FORCE MAX hybrid (4WD)
• Towing (hybrid): Up to 5,800 lbs
• Transmission: 8-speed automatic transmission
• Passengers: 5 or 7 depending on grade
• Starting MSRP: ~$58,900+

Nine grades are available for 2026, including the TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, Trailhunter, and the first-ever Platinum grade. The hybrid models use the i-FORCE MAX powertrain for serious off-road capability. The classic power rear window is back — a signature feature on the 4Runner that fans have been asking about. Higher grades get a 14-inch touchscreen, 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, available moonroof, heated front seats, and 20-inch alloy wheels on the Limited.

One notable update: a trailer brake controller and digital display rear view mirror are now standard on the TRD Off-Road Premium and Limited grades. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard across the lineup.

Note: 2025 and 2026 4Runner models have limited inventory at the dealer level — contact your local Toyota dealer to check availability.

2026 Toyota Land Cruiser — Off-Road Icon, Back in Canada

2026 Toyota Land Cruiser | Photo: Toyota Canada

The Land Cruiser returned to Canada in 2024 after a nearly 30-year absence, and it continues for 2026 with some fresh choices. The 2026 Land Cruiser shares the TNGA-F platform and hybrid powertrain with the 4Runner.

Key specs:

• Powertrain: i-FORCE MAX hybrid, 326 horsepower, 465 lb-ft torque
• Drive: Full-time 4WD with lockable centre differential
• Passengers: 5
• Starting MSRP: ~$74,100

Standard equipment includes a 12.3-inch Toyota Multimedia screen, Toyota Safety Sense, and full-time 4WD. Available features include a power moonroof, power rear window, heated front seats, heated leather steering wheel, and a multi-information display. Multi-Terrain Select and a Front Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism make it genuinely capable off-pavement.

For 2026, Toyota is offering a special Land Cruiser 1958 edition — a nod to the year the nameplate launched in North America. The 1958 comes with retro-style LED headlamps, 18-inch alloy wheels, heated front seats, heated leather steering wheel, and a locking rear differential. It's a collector's piece and a fun weekend getaway vehicle all in one.

2026 Toyota Sequoia — Full-Size SUV, Hybrid Power

If you need maximum space and towing capacity, the Sequoia is Toyota's answer. It's the only full-size SUV in the lineup, and the 2026 model continues with the i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain that replaced the old V8.

Key specs:

• Powertrain: i-FORCE MAX twin-turbo hybrid V6
• Passengers: 7 or 8 depending on configuration
• Towing: Up to 9,000 lbs
• Starting MSRP: ~$88,700

Five grades are available, including the top-level Capstone. Standard equipment includes an 8-inch Toyota Multimedia system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Toyota Safety Sense. Higher grades add heated and ventilated front seats, a larger touchscreen, and premium audio. When the rear seats are folded, cargo space is massive — this is a genuine people-and-gear hauler.

2025 vs. 2026: Key Changes Summary

Model	What Changed for 2026
C-HR	Fully electric; completely new vehicle
RAV4	Complete redesign (6th gen); hybrid-only lineup; 3 design themes

Financing & Getting Pre-Approved

Toyota SUVs range from around $37,500 (RAV4 LE) to over $88,000 (Sequoia). With that kind of spread, knowing your budget before you walk into a dealer makes the whole process easier. A few things worth knowing:

• Prices vary by province, dealer, and the fees they charge — taxes, licensing, and delivery charges are always extra
• Leasing vs. financing: Many Toyota dealers offer both. Leasing keeps monthly payments lower but you don't own the vehicle at the end of the term; financing means you're building equity
• Getting pre-approved before you shop tells you exactly what you can afford — and puts you in a stronger position at the dealer

If you're planning to finance a Toyota SUV (new or used), getting pre-approved for a car loan is a smart first step. It takes the guesswork out and helps you negotiate from a position of knowledge.

People Also Ask

What Toyota SUV has the best fuel economy in Canada? Among non-electric models, the RAV4 Hybrid and Corolla Cross Hybrid offer the best fuel efficiency in the lineup.

Is the 2026 Toyota RAV4 worth buying? The 2026 RAV4 is a significant upgrade over the outgoing model — completely redesigned with a more powerful hybrid system (236 hp), standard AWD, Toyota Safety Sense 4.0, and three distinct styling directions. For most Canadians looking for a compact SUV, it's still one of the best options in the segment.

What is the Toyota Grand Highlander? The Grand Highlander is Toyota's larger three-row SUV, sitting above the regular Highlander.

It's available in gas or hybrid versions.

Some Toyota SUVs offer full-time 4WD (always engaged) while others offer on-demand 4WD (driver selectable).
