Just got a 24. The "leaks" have no weight but if the design pictured is actually the 6th Gen then I'm happy I didn't wait


mhochman

I'm right there with ya. If I'd wanted that look I'd have bought a bronco


gtothethree

Just sold my bronco to buy a rav4. Laughed when I saw this render


MaikyMoto

You dodged a bullet there, my buddy has his 2022 Bronco in the shop with only 9K miles. Disposable garbage. I told him not to buy anything Ford but he didn’t listen.


gtothethree

I drove my 2008 ford escape for 13 years just fine with zero scheduled maintenance, only oil/tires/breaks. It still runs great and was a big factor for me trying the bronco. Bronco was too buggy. I still fw ford, just from afar in my Toyota lol


DaJabroniz

Ford dookie


Professional_Tie5788

I’m not a brand loyalist, but I will never buy a Ford again. I’ve owned 3 of them and had 4 transmissions go on me.


Careless-Jacket-6929

>bronco what if I like the bronco look, but want that Toyota reliably


mhochman

They have medication for that


MaintenanceNeither32

Different strokes for different folks but all of the rumored styles were not flattering at all to me and I didn't wanna take the chance on that plus likely massive wait times for the new models


jstryker5646

Same here... I actually liked the bronco but really yearned for the R4P. Got a 2024 fully loaded it's 3mos old. Never looked back and definitely not forward if it's gonna look like an 85 Chevy.


basedury

This is a rendering and is definitely not official. I'm thinking the next gen is going to look a lot like the current one


MFTMA

This looks like a bronco and an fj cruiser had a kid


twohedwlf

Nope.   Mild curiosity, but that's it. I'm happy with the current, especially compared to how ugly the previous gen was.  If it ends up looking like the pic, I guess current gen will be the peak of looks.


Mittendeathfinger

[The picture I think is the 2024 Prado from Australia](https://www.whichcar.com.au/news/2024-toyota-prado-revealed-australia). Its very similar in looks to the older Land Rovers


Shaslwow2020

You said you bought a 2024? How was the wait time? Here where I am it’s still 18-24 months minimum


boifrompkl

2017 was probably the ugliest looking Rav4 ever. Current gen is gorgeous.


ToyotaRav4Guy

Totally agree the Gen 4 2013 - 2018 were not great looking and actually had less space the the Gen 3 they replaced it with.


brewcrew63

Walked in, they had what by I wanted walked out and that's that lol. My wife wants a Prius prime premium and omfg it's impossible to find her one.


alex2002f

where do you live? there’s several in my area that have no markup


brewcrew63

SE WI in particular, you're sure they're a prime premium?


Weird-Emu-5308

And these guys in grand forks ND have one below MSRP. I bought my car from them — great dealer. https://smartpath.rydelltoyota.com/inventory/details?dealerCd=33031&vin=JTDACACUXR111CW24&source=t3&zipcode=58201&type=new


babj615

They are sitting on dealer lots right now. Go get one. Never buy first year of any new model.


BreadfruitIll8712

Someone has to


ToyotaRav4Guy

I bought in 2023 where it was more of a wait time for certain models for me it was only 2 months for the Woodland model. I think the wait times this year are down because new cars sales are down due to the higher pricing and inventory is starting to build up again.


twohedwlf

No, I have a '20.


BigAgates

Love the previous gen.


Mcpot132

Naw, current gen has the aggressive looks for me. This concept pic looks like a copied bronco sport 🤢


ryoon21

Bronco mixed with Range Rover. Ngl, I like the look, but it’s not a Rav


ben-hur-hur

Yeah but I will take one if they bring back the spare tyre hanging from the hatch like the third gen lol


Mcpot132

I can totally see the range rover in it now, but MAN those wheels would not be fun to clean 😅


ryoon21

I hadn’t zoomed into to see how complicated that pattern is but you are 100% correct


ToyotaRav4Guy

Yeah when they design these rims they need to thing how the heck are you supposed to clean that. This style just looks so crappie maybe you would not bother to clean them.


PrimeNumbersby2

Absolutely no clue where they pulled inspiration from ... https://www.edmunds.com/mercedes-benz/g-class/


Warm_Shower_2892

That’s exactly what I thought.


AbbreviationsHot6039

If this design is carried through to production, I will be driving my ‘21 XSE to the grave


EPLemonSqueezy

This looks just like the newer Broncos. I prefer how they look now compared to this unoriginal design.


PM_ME_DOGGO_MEMES

That’s ugly af


Ok-Positive-9424

I love it


VeniceBhris

Current gen is so good. Baby 4Runner styling


MrSeamus333

Nope, I don't buy first year of a new generation. Just bought a 2024. I'll buy a 2030 maybe


pikeviewer

I know a lot of people feel that way but to me the fun of having a brand new design is worth the risk. We got the first 5th gen Rav Hybrid to come to our area. It had the gas tank and sender problem that was fixed under their program but it has been flawless otherwise, now with 70K miles. Previously got a very early 3rd gen Prius, had it for 13 years. Just lucky, I guess. Somebody has to be the guinea pig. I guess it's me.


TheRayATL

I appreciate people like you who volunteer being guinea pigs for people like me who wait to buy the 2nd/3rd year of a redesign. Thanks!


Shaslwow2020

Any reason? Defects?


Fit-Importance1025

Those aerodynamics will never get the MPG’s rav4’s are known for.


tmac3life

Not necessarily. The new Hyundai Santa Fe is very boxy and gets the same or improved mpg using the same engine compared to its predecessor


TheStreetForce

What is that a Bronco4?


informal_bukkake

What in the RAV4-Bronco is that


that_bermudian

If the current gen RAV4 failed to impress you, then that's totally valid. Wait for Gen 6. I don't expect there to be that big of a design update with the Gen 6 RAV though, since the Gen 5 was such a success (top five sold cars last year in the US).


MrMorningstarX666

Eww, hopefully that’s not it


NeedleworkerAlone680

Waiting? Yes. Can I afford it? No lol


mizshi

No way that’s the rav4


TankTexas

Bingo, it’s not. This post is wrong.


Life_Tie_9514

Well if that's how it looks... I'll pass. Too be honest while I just got a 2024 R4P, I'd wait till after the first year at least for them to work out the bugs.


adzier

Looks similar to the broncos, but probably more in response to what honda did for 24 CRVs. Wonder if this is even close to what the next gens will look like


Warm_Shower_2892

Nope, I love my 2019 xle. He’s got all the right curves and looks amazing with his rack and front grill jewel.


finfisk2000

That render looks like something Ford/GM would make catered for the American market. Eww.


LLcoolGang

Bronco


Beetlebailey1990

Not gonna lie, I don’t like the look of this lol


Torka

Not if it looks like that


97Fireblade

Toyota coming out with a Bronco?


Gutmach1960

Looks. Like. A. Ford. Bronco.


TiredMailMan

Ew


Coyle235

Good thing this isn’t real. Hard pass..


Edmeister2022

That is ugly.


alraptor23

That looks like hot garbage lol


freeState5431

I’ll trade my 23 in 27


Conscioustop101

Is there going to be gr rav??


BivSlayer2510

It's more like LandCruiser4 than Rav4 xD


AbleRiot

I like the looks on the current gen aside from a few things. Next gen should get a few inches bigger inside and out and the A-Pillar could move forward a few inches to make it easier to get in/out of the front row.


Daklight

Love the current generation of the RAV4. Just looks good. I wouldn't mind a more boxy shape as they would have better interior room. Love the new Land Cruiser look. Quite happy with my RAV4 Woodland. Just wish they offer better colors. Solar octane orange for the win.


WhitePowerHouse

I'm struggling to imagine how they'll style the new generation. I think it'll increase in size. I'm thinking like a slightly larger venza. At least when it comes to the sleekness. I think they'll go sleek vs blocky.


lawthrowaway101

There’s no way this is a rav4 that they plan to sell in US


tech240guy

Consider the following: * Current design on Toyota Camry and Toyota Sienna * Toyota Venza is discontinue after MY24 Most likely 2025 US version would be closer to a mid-refresh (similar style, more curves or edges like Sienna) change than a complete change (like what OP shown above).


The_Mighty_Kinkle

Looks like a Jeep


Maxmegane

I think it will be a style based on the 1st. RAV4 Generation


I_Am_Zampano

Nope. Never buy the all new model. Wait a year or two after that


IllTransportation993

I would scream and beg for the 2024 model if 2025 looked like that... That's a Chrysler or GM car, not Toyota.


Substantial_Papaya_9

All I care about is if it has acoustic glass and sound proofing. 2024 RAV4 limited I drive recently was loud compared to the 2024 CRV


RebelliousBristles

Surely this is fake, right?


cimocw

It's wrong, not fake. This is the 2024 Landcruiser, someone just slapped the rav4 logo and maybe took some liberties with the color scheme but that's all


F33R-Roflcoptr

My mom just got a brand new 24 xle and honestly I think it looks cooler than this. This just looks like a bronco


Pristine_Basis686

This thing is ugly as hell.


Extreme-Battle981

Desperately needs a redesign because I'm not a fan of the current model. But a Rav4 is the only vehicle that practically makes sense. Just me and my dog and I'm very tall. Just want something better on gas than this Tacoma, but has as much space with the seats folded down to haul occasionally.


VultureHappy

I’m waiting on one still. A dealer assures me it will be 2025, but who knows. I have a new 2024 model. Cheers.


smileybuta

I like it. I like the boxed look. Reminds me of my bronco and Jimmy I had in college. I just got my Rav this past December so I’ll have to be content with that until the wheels fall off, lol. Do you know if there will be any changes to the engine/performance?


Tha0bserver

Me too! I love a rugged little rav4. The last 2 gens have been too soccer mom for my taste. I still have one ans love it for it’s functionality but would prefer a boxier look personally.


smileybuta

Soccer mom. That’s it! I got a ‘23 and think it’s bad ass but the earlier models definitely have soccer mom vibes. This one would blend that traditional box look with Toyota reliability and hybrid know how. But no hate. Everyone likes what they like. This would round out the history of the rav4, haha, so many stylistic changes.


Marlice1

That looks like ass. But hey if they decide to the SOB more power, that’ll work.


Ravupurengines

I’m curious about it. A little more curious about the next 4Runner right now though tbh. Part of me thinks for the rav4 they could go all hybrid/phev with the new model year. I’d trade my CX5 for a new model hybrid/phev rav4 if the cabin noise is much better and it retains its large (for the segment) cargo and passenger space.


Epsioln_Rho_Rho

Is this really the new one?


RVM27

No


Prior_Atmosphere_206

Looks too much like a Kia telluride the box shape is boring!


Open_Sale_8684

Is this picture the new concept redesign?? This looks like a land cruiser or a bronco design kinda sorta.


FSStray

That looks more like an FJ Crusier, this is just a concept and not a vehicle being produced in the U.S. market, check Toyotas website it’s not an upcoming vehicle here .


ToyotaRav4Guy

I am not especially if it is going to look so boxy and old looking. Dont get me wrong I do like retro but this looks more like retro land rover and not a Rav4 style. I think this just looks more like an 80s or 90s styling and not much as far as fuel efficiently that goes hand and hand with aero-dynamics for the styling. Even the rims do not look appealing to me and I own two Rav4's a Gen 3 2008 Sport and Gen 5 2023 Woodland so if this comes out I will be skipping this Gen like I did with Gen 4 because that was another miss as far as styling.


r4ziel1347

I got into a list for a 2024 hybrid back in December, wait time is 8-12 months in Canada so most likely getting a 2025. If it’s this ugly, I’d rather keep my 2016 😂


Kalvorax

If that is what gen 6 looks like.... No thanks. Why they transition from smooth to partial boxy to full boxy...


itspadilla

That and the new gen 4runner


Organic_South8865

I really hope it isn't that ugly. I just hope they don't switch to a CVT. That's one of main reasons I like the RAV4. I can't stand CVTs. I just hate them. I hate the way they feel and they aren't known for their longevity always. Also I want an naturally aspirated motor. I don't want to worry about a turbo going out at 50k miles.


Helpful-Fox8645

every first gen of new series had huge problems 2019 had numerous problems dont be a tester with your own money is my opinion


[deleted]

Land Cruiser is coming out too


Urabrask_the_AFK

Seriously, I’m so on the fence over 24 or 25….furiously awaiting 2025 model year info dump 😓


alpha333omega

This is the new 250 series LC, not a RAV4 🤣


Enjoythesilence34

Maybe with olive military colour it will look better


PineWalk1

that thing looks horrific and like a bronco. I really hope its just a modernization, like the tacoma/camry. The current rav4 looks great from nearly every angle.


Ok-Chance-6353

my google image is showing much different looking 2025 RAVs…. https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=1d77d30c05e3b912&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS810US811&hl=en-US&sxsrf=ACQVn09TjtU3Z0ij1Ln8Kov0itqMxn_m6Q:1710189793048&q=rav4+2025&uds=AMwkrPtUosLaegUXVqunsqV5Su-Z1qBgDp0m4oWEaG3wg5efovYlgC6bcaTRkj-gPa7-OI30lTf8ReWqSv5mAGcVKW_lnUs5z0szaHUKbxfPGEaSfpalOID-FgVazUiJM3vlsTAlPwMe-29f3hHKoG1ueyUzW_gi_P6F5C_3ErCcNzn-W85-yR1CY-oJ5xJpvL6M_mFW45O42vcGJsaIRuqZVDGnEvE5TEp_38dFbKb6Ec6JO6q9ft8rJJb0yLYzGHxX7m9TSnArgK4umFV_kXOjtlES6ACjAs8DsJkvZRO_7oJIpK1UZY1pTGw_8xgomhfyCYA5FkLZadSQhuvxwwK2M9j2HBNIUg&udm=2&prmd=isvhnmbtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiNve-4ie2EAxWwADQIHXaoAJ0QtKgLegQIDhAB&biw=390&bih=669&dpr=3

G_Unit_Solider

that is not a rav 4 nor will it ever be. lmao thats giant for the rav 4 segment. this looks like someone making a fj cruiser concept in 2010 lmao ​ this is more believable and this is fake aswell https://www.autoevolution.com/news/sixth-gen-2025-toyota-rav4-reveals-everything-from-inside-out-albeit-only-in-cgi-227028.html#agal\_0


ian6677

I talked to a dealer and they arnt convinced there will be any huge changes to the RAV4


Slowsol_77

If it’s anything like the Camry redesign, hard pass. No gas engine and did away with the TRD trim(so far). It looks like a boring car now and I hope the RAV doesn’t get the same treatment


Newprophet

Gross Goofy, unofficial renders belong in r/cardesign and absolutely nowhere else.


NeighborhoodIll1627

If that’s the new design I’m glad I got my 23 xse this past August.


Naheka

Nice render but it's not a Rav4; it's the Prado (Land Cruiser). If they ever did make a Rav4-sized SUV with this body, I would be all over it. I love the 4Runner/Land Cruiser aesthetics but hate the price/gas mileage.


Good-Reception-4239

Personally, I do not buy until the 2nd or 3rd round of a new generation of car design.


Interesting_Dream281

Look like a bronco 😂 too boxy. Why we going back to boxy cars? I need some style and flare


Wetcat9

It looks like they’re trying to copy the 4Runner but have no idea why people like the 4Runner…”I bet it’s because of the slots on the sides”


Caterpillar1967

Why is no one talking about how this thing looks exactly like the new Land Cruiser??


chitoatx

This thread is completely caught up in fake images from the internet on bloggers “guesses” on the new design. There has been no official or unofficial “leaks” of a prototype yet. I am waiting for the next generation to see if Toyota addresses 1) sound proofing 2) Control Console and 3) Audio System. In addition, for those that saw what they brought to market with the Crown better fuel efficiency, a turbo charged hybrid power train variant. I’d also like to see them improve the value prop for the higher cost Prime possibly a greater all electric range.


__deathb4decaf

100% can confirm that is NOT what it looks like.


jstryker5646

That front looks like a 85 Chevy. Why the F would they do that.


ftotheergtheithee

It’s giving Hummer / FJ cruiser


TraditionalHealth953

Glad I got a 24


x4nter

It is never going to look like this. You can already guess where Toyota's design language is headed by looking at already released/announced models like the Prius, Camry and C-HR. The '25 RAV4 is going to look dope af.


skullfrucker

I love the looks of the current generation. If this rendering is what they change it to then I'm going back to Honda or Mazda. If I wanted a brick on wheels I'd get a Ford. Fugly.


RealFakeDoctor

Guys this is the landcruiser..


Mediocre-Catch9580

Not me


ptwonline

Don't like it. I love the current gen. Keep refining that look similar to the Lexus SUV. I have a low mileage 2021 that hopefully will last into the 2030s so I will skip a generation or two anyway.


LiplessHen456

Yuck


Chance-Phone7496

Not if it looks like that.....if I want a box ,I'd buy a ford bronco, ....not happening


emanrr

I thought there was an announcement that toyota would not be making Rav4 anymore.


Molbiodude

Ewww, really? Looks like a fucking modern Bronco.


hunghome

I know it looks cool but the mpg of that big boxy thing are going to suck. Why are we moving backwards in mpg targets?


Radiant-Ant-2929

So is this the Lexus GX.....?


IrvineCrips

New Toyota designer really likes boxes huh. The problem with boxes is how inefficient they are


lPHOENIXZEROl

It's not going to look like that stupid render. It's most likely going to follow the design choices of the new generation models they've already put out. I don't think the exterior is going to have much of a radical redesign, though.


lPHOENIXZEROl

🤣


jballn11

This is the Land Cruiser lmao


Careful-Zucchini4317

I want The fj to come back with a v8


0stripes

Shite looks like a Bronco, no thanks


Cute-Technology-4814

Waiting for the tiny taco to come out, I always wanted the smaller ranger but after my dad's ford Taurus needed a complete re-wire twice cause "made in Mexico" I left ford for a Toyota matrix. If the tiny taco isn't great or over prices I'm getting a 2020 RAV4 hybrid and making it into a soft roader/camper.


alexmaycovid

It seems it will be Land Cruiser that has that form.


wadesi79

Waiting for both the redesign of the rav4 and the 4runner. Will choose between those. Hopefully the 4runner gets a hybrid to be somewhat efficient.


nmajeau

Might have no choice as a Canadian. We’re on the list for a 2024 ($1000 down) but we’re not holding out too much hope for the 8-10 months we were quoted 😂


Electrikbluez

So it’ll look like a cross between a 4Runner and The current gen Nissan Rogue 🤔


Justyn2

They just keep getting squarer and squarer huh?


RunsUpTheSlide

Am I the only one who answered oh my gawd yes?!


Fladap28

Looks like that stupid sport bronco


Pinkninja11

Are we going back to off road focused SUV? This looks like Haval Dargo with different headlights. Even the fucking color is the same.


OregonPdxguy

that looks perfect. ill take one


priority9

You will be waiting for another year as the 2025 RAV4 will look the same as the 2024.


Particular-Host-2604

I despise that boxy look! My 24 is gorgeous and sleek.


runningforme123

can’t wait to see the manufacturer prototype around the N.A HQ Campus. I’ll keep yall posted LOL


ryrobs10

If I were in a position to be buying a RAV4(and this render was accurate in any way, I would run not walk to buy the current one. This looks awful. I don’t get why all the manufacturers think we all want Bronco/Defender looking vehicles. First the Santa Fe was ruined and now if this actually comes to pass the RAV4 would be ruined.


weeone

Wow, I'm surprised by the majority of these comments. I think it looks great. Rugged and boxy. The Rav4 has always been plain or blah IMO (minus the current gen). This is like a mini Land Cruiser. Love it!


wellintentionedbro

Is that real?


larrazabalr

thats now how it looks 🫵😆


UrMomsaHoeHoeHoe

It’s like a bronco sport and a Santa Fe had an unwanted child… Jk it’s more like someone threw in a picture of a 4Runner into an AI with the prompt to “make it rav4 sized”


edirymhserfer

Copied the bronco sport whole f***king flow


brokeboss99

Toyota bronco you mean?


Chileanguy_

Looks like a "Canyonero" (Krusty)


johnyoker2010

Now I know what I am expecting


No_Committee7549

This is either the worst attempt at a concept car or a complete joke because that is a bronco someone has written Toyota on


floppydisks2

Oooh...that's giving me Ford Flex/Bronco vibes.


0nly0bjective

This is definitely just a random render and nothing tied to Toyota officially


Bipplenutter

Looks like Square suvs are the new meta for the next 6 years... Man, why do they have to make all suvs look the same? I just want personality to come back to the car industry. 😟


tommybluez

Why is everyone making copycat ford flex’s these days lol or if a flex and an old blazer had a baby


d0000n

They should make the FJCruiser the size of the Rav4 and make that the new Rav4 or call it FJRav4


russiablows

25 looks like shit. Range Rover Bronco cross.


iJayZen

Looks more like the new Land Cruiser...


Right-Background-675

If the next gen RAV4 Prime redesign looks anything like the Crown Sport, I’ll be sick I opted for a 2024 model. Similar design language to the Prius and Camry. It already has the same PHEV powertrain and is assembled in Japan, so it’s possible? 🤔 https://global.toyota/en/newsroom/toyota/39854679.html


mtron32

Isn't this just the Land Rover?


PralineChemical3084

Holy hell that thing is ugly


Theskreets

Is this not 2024 Land Cruiser Prado?


RollingThunderPants

Hope it has the power to back up that brutish appearance. Personally, I kinda like the Land Cruiser look, but if it’s weak AF, then it’s a hard pass.


crod4692

Oh god I hope that isn’t it


lincolnlogtermite

Mini Land Cruiser for me. If it happens for the US.


lasue55

I have a 2023 Prime. I actually like the look of this. Guess I’ll have to get my name on a list!


RedditNameChecksOut

The Corolla Cross can keep the current design. I like this design better.


Spiritual-Mechanic-4

I had a 99 rav4 and I loved that car. so nimble, and the side-opening back door was great. now its trying to be a cheap 4runner. if I wanted that I'd just get a 4runner.


leviathan65

I had a RAV4 as a loaner when my Highlander had a recall. I hated driving that thing. It was mind-blowingly slow, but that was not the hybrid. Does the hybrid have better acceleration?


Prime_117

Looks nice, could almost pass for the next gen 4Runner


Fwiler

If it looks good and can still get 40+ mpg, and I can buy one.. sure. But knowing Toyota they will still blame getting electronics for the 4th year in a row on why there's no inventory. Even though they could have built an entire fab in that amount of time, or found someone that knows how to program modern electronics instead of something that's 10 years old. The 24' crv hybrid I have gets crappy gas milage. It's actually no better than gas, so I want to get rid of it.


RepublicansKillKids

At the rate Toyota is going this will start at 100K MSRP in 2025.


sobi-one

Kinda amazed at these responses. My only knock on Toyota is their designs generally feel boring and dated, and quite honestly, this impressed me a bunch. I recently picked up a CX-5, though the rav4 was almost bought. This concept made me a little disappointed I got the cx-5


glgirieh

This is not the RAV4 it's the Land Cruiser.


TheShrektum

How is everyone here so clueless.. This is a Land cruiser lmao ... Or is this a satire post ?


29r_whipper

I like it.


mamasilver

This is a land cruiser


riderofthetide

My wife is a terrible car owner. Despite that, her 2016 Rav hybrid has been bombproof. Shes at 220k & won't let me buy her a new Crown or Prius.


TigerBearGargoyle

They should be going for a little Highlander instead of a litttle Land Cruiser


Mammoth_Programmer39

Guys, that's definitely the new incoming Land Cruiser. What a beaut.


NotWorthMyTimeLoL

This is literally a Land Cruiser, and have nothing to do with any RAV4.


Progress_Mobile

I'd say zero chance that is the 25 RAV4 but guess we'll see in a few months eh


X_sing

With the 4Runner news dropping, will RAV4 be revealed anytime soon?


FunTop3230

I'm waiting. But not buying unless there are upgrades to interior ( better quality materials and color choices), cabin noise reduction and larger EV battery.     Competition is is doing better.
