The 2025 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid family SUV – Australia's second-best selling new car – has gained what is likely to be its last update before the new-generation model is revealed within the next 12 months.

New-style 'HEV' badges have also recently replaced the 'HYBRID' branding fitted since launch in 2019, and the blue accents on the Toyota logos have been deleted now the entire RAV4 line-up is hybrid-only.

The Toyota website lists the minor changes with a December 2024 update to the RAV4 specification sheet, but it is understood the upgrade may have taken place in November.

No price changes have been announced to accompany the revisions, with the range expected to continue to be priced from $42,260 to $58,360 before on-road costs.

The Model Year 2025 updates are expected to be the last of their kind before the next-generation Toyota RAV4 is revealed sometime in 2025.

Spy photos of the new model on US and Japanese roads have already surfaced online, with evolutionary design changes that may see some components shared with the outgoing model.

As with the latest Toyota Camry, it is expected the next RAV4 will drape mostly- or entirely-new bodywork and redesigned interior over the same footprint as its predecessor, with only minor revisions to the underpinnings.
