Next Gen RAV4 to go all Hybrid - possible 2025 model

[新型RAV4]は1.5Lターボが主力に!?　トヨタ主力SUVの次なる一手は!? - 自動車情報誌「ベストカー」
These guys (BestCarWeb.jp) have been pretty good with scoops in the past so I'll put this in.

According to the article, looks like the RAV4 with use one of the new 1.5L turbo engines revealed in June, and it looks like it'll go all hybrid. Article states there will be 2 hybrids, normal small battery one and a PHEV (Prime) variety. Since this is like the the 4th best selling car in the North American market, they'll have to hit it out of the park.

Partial translation:
"　So what will the next-generation RAV4 be like? In terms of design, it is expected to successfully incorporate Toyota's latest front design, the Hammerhead, into the RAV4's unique look. The wildness of the RAV4 is brought about by its clear, solid press lines and powerful grille design, but even with the latest face, it will be possible to express its strength in this way.

　In addition, the company predicts that the body size will be one rank larger, prioritizing the demand in the North American market. The overall width of 1865mm feels large for a Japanese vehicle, but is rather small in North America. As the younger brother of the Highlander (overall width 1930mm), the next-generation RAV4 will be given impressive front and rear fenders and will likely be widened to around 1900mm.

　The powertrain will be centered on hybrids, just like the current model, and a plug-in hybrid will also be included in the lineup (called the "RAV4 Prime" in the U.S.). Although there will be no major changes to fuel economy or driving performance, there will likely be improvements in various areas. They will likely take on the challenge of a multi-pathway approach to suit the characteristics of the North American and Japanese markets.

　It is also expected to be equipped with the new inline 4-cylinder engine of the next-generation electric power unit that Toyota first unveiled in May 2024. Toyota is currently developing three types of engines: a 1.5-liter inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, a 1.5-liter inline 4-cylinder turbo engine, and a 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder turbo engine.

　As future environmental regulations are expected to result in a significant reduction in the output of existing engines, this engine is designed to be more electrically rich (mainly battery-powered, with engine support) than conventional hybrids.

　Of these, the next-generation RAV4 will likely be equipped with a 1.5L turbo. It is conceivable that there will be variations, ranging from a low-cost model with a reduced battery capacity (similar to the existing HEV) to a high-end model with a larger battery capacity (similar to the existing PHEV)."

Not exactly sure if it'll actually show up for the 2025 model year but we'll see.
