2027 RAV4 Woodland Gets More Ground Clearance and a $40,655 Starting Price

​

The RAV4 Woodland is getting a suspension update for 2027. According to Motor1’s report by Brian Potter, Toyota is adding clearance and revised hardware while raising prices across the RAV4 lineup.

The Woodland hybrid starts at $40,655, including destination. Updated springs, shocks, and jounce bumpers bring ground clearance to 9.1 inches, an inch above most other RAV4 trims.

The Woodland’s equipment also includes:

• 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires
• Rigid Industries LED fog lights
• A tow hitch
• A distinctive front bumper and grille

For comparison, the base RAV4 hybrid starts at $33,895, while the plug-in hybrid starts at $43,695, both including destination.

There’s a tradeoff for Woodland plug-in buyers: reported electric range drops to 46 miles, compared with 49 previously. Regular hybrids are expected at dealers before the end of 2026, with plug-in hybrids following in early 2027.

For anyone who regularly encounters rutted access roads or heads out camping, the extra clearance could be a useful addition.

What do you think, is the Woodland worth the premium, or would you start with another trim?
