Here’s How Much a Fully-Loaded 2026 Toyota RAV4 Will Cost You

Want the top trims, tech, and options on the 2026 Toyota RAV4? We break down what a fully-loaded model will actually cost including premium features that push the price toward luxury-level territory.

2026 Toyota RAV4

okay so, first off, the RAV4. I swear this car’s been everywhere since forever. Like, every suburban parking lot has at least three of them. and now the 2026 one? it’s nice, sure, but also kinda like… the same? the interior feels like they just copy pasted the last few years though, I gotta admit, that new trim with all the screens is kinda fancy. but then you see the price jump and you’re like oh right, this is like mid to high forties now if you go “fully loaded.” and I keep thinking, man, for that much money, I want something that makes my pulse do something. not say “reliable commuter dad.”

2026 Honda CR-V

so the CR-V, solid, dependable, like that friend who’s always on time but never brings snacks. costs around forty-something too, depending how greedy you get with trims. my aunt had one back in like 2013 and it smelled like crayons. no joke. she said it was the mats but I don’t believe her. the new one feels so calm inside, which is either good or boring depending on your caffeine level.

2026 Mazda CX-5

uh, honestly, the Mazda’s like the cool cousin who doesn’t try too hard. it’s fun to drive, kinda sporty but still chill. interior feels way more upscale for its price, what, around thirty-seven, thirty-eight grand if you go all out? I remember renting one once and thinking “why is the steering wheel this satisfying to hold?” weird thing to remember but yeah.

2026 Hyundai Tucson

hmm, Tucson. I like it but also don’t. it’s got those sharp edges like it’s trying really hard to look different, and it kinda works until you park it next to something actually sleek. those lights tho, they look wild at night. costs maybe mid-thirties to low forties depending how fancy you go. my neighbor’s got one and swears by it, except when it’s cold, then she says it sounds like a blender with pebbles.

2026 Kia Sportage

oh man, this one’s weirdly big now. like it used to be “compact” but now it’s like, bro, are you sure you’re not an SUV pretending to be compact? around thirty-eight-ish I think for the full bells and whistles. I sat in one at the mall show, and the seats, soft but smell faintly like glue and new electronics. not bad but like, plasticky nostalgia somehow.

2026 Ford Escape

the Escape’s kinda like that old friend you lost touch with. every few years you hear “oh Ford redesigned it again” and then you forget. it’s okay. it drives okay. interior’s okay. that’s the problem, it’s all just fine. fully loaded hits maybe forty-two grand, which feels like too much for something you’ll forget you own. sorry Ford, but you peaked with the 2012 one I think.

2026 Subaru Forester

Subaru people are so loyal it’s actually impressive. I get it though, safe, practical, all-wheel drive, that whole mountain hiker energy thing. costs like forty-ish grand tops but you feel like you could drive through a forest fire and make it home. I once dated someone who had a Forester that smelled like wet dog year-round. she said it was her “kayaking gear.” sure it was.

2026 Chevrolet Equinox

Equinox is like that kid who tries to sit at the cool lunch table but still brings his mom’s leftovers. it’s decent, updated screen, new grille, but nothing about it screams excitement. upper trims float around thirty-nine, forty-ish, but the engine’s… just there. my cousin has one and says the best thing about it is the cupholders. which, yeah, says a lot.

2026 Nissan Rogue

actually not as bad as it used to be. the new Rogue feels comfy, and the interior feels like someone finally gave Nissan a Pinterest board. it’s like thirty-seven, thirty-eight grand for the top one. drove it once, felt weirdly tight in corners but smooth on long stretches. still has that slightly rubbery smell though, you know what I mean, that “just unwrapped electronics” vibe?

2026 Volkswagen Tiguan

I kinda like the Tiguan even though everyone says it’s overpriced. maybe it’s the Euro vibe. it’s like forty grand plus if you go maxed, but it feels clean. too clean almost. like you should wipe your shoes before getting in. I rode in one once with beige leather and the seat was cold like sitting on a slightly judgmental couch.
