KEY TAKEAWAYS
What is the vehicle shown in the latest teaser from Toyota?
The latest teaser from Toyota could be the next-generation RAV4.When will Toyota launch the vehicle shown in its new teasers?
Toyota will be launching the vehicle shown in its new teasers on May 20, 2025.It will be launched on May 20, 2025, and while none of its specifications were shared, the Japanese brand has already posted various teasers.
Specifically, Toyota showed off a series of exterior aerial top-down views of the upcoming ride on its social media channels and its official press website. Through the said teasers, the carmaker showed that the mysterious new model is poised as a versatile vehicle that can handle the rigors of rough backcountry roads, urban settings, and even curvy mountain pathways.
Upon zooming into the aerial teaser photos, one can see that it will come with a more angular overall shape. It also sports a prominent-looking hood with deep sculpted lines, a large roof-mounted rear spoiler, and a more expansive greenhouse with presumably black-colored pillars.

An additional interior shot teaser from Toyota Cyprus likewise showed off a modern cabin filled with digital displays.
To note, the teasers above didn’t exactly indicate the name of the upcoming model, but the crossover on the teaser suggests a high level of versatility - a known characteristic of the RAV4.
Regardless, its position as a crucial product for the Aichi-headquartered conglomerate means that its fifth-generation XA50 version, which is almost seven years old, is rightly due for a full model change.

Toyota Motor Philippines has not indicated whether it will bring in the next-gen RAV4, so for now, all we can do is hope. But if TMP decides to launch it for the local market, it may put up a good fight against the likes of the BYD Sealion 6 DM-i, Hyundai Tucson, and the Honda CR-V.
