To the interior, Toyota has added a redesigned dashboard, a revamped steering wheel and cleaned-up AC control. A bigger 12.9-inch touchscreen is now the highlight, replaced by Arene, Toyota’s newest infotainment system. All future Toyota cars will rely on this operating system which enables users to get safety and entertainment updates wirelessly.
According to Toyota, Arene OS will also bring the option to add downloadable performance packs and new features to their Toyota and Lexus cars soon.
More options now available for Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid vehicles. For the 2025 model, Toyota is providing different powertrains to fit each market’s needs.

Although road tests of the RAV4 in India were carried out as early as 2021, Toyota has not announced when the vehicle will launch in the country. Sixth-generation Corvettes are expected to be available everywhere, but India has not received any confirmation yet.

Summary

Thanks to an improved design, improved gas-electric units and a new digital system, the 2025 Toyota RAV4 highlights the direction Toyota wants to take with midsize SUVs. The global model is aiming to improve its standing in regions where consumers care most about how vehicles work, save fuel and offer digital driver experiences.
