2025 Toyota Rav4 PHEV Body Structure

The 2025 Toyota RAV4 PHEV continues to use Toyota’s well‑established TNGA‑K (Toyota New Global Architecture) platform, a unibody structure engineered for rigidity, crash performance, and hybrid packaging efficiency. This architecture integrates high‑strength steel throughout the cabin structure, including reinforced A‑, B‑, and C‑pillars, optimized load paths, and a stiff floorpan designed to manage both frontal and side‑impact forces. The plug‑in hybrid variant benefits from additional underfloor bracing to support the battery system while maintaining torsional rigidity, helping the vehicle preserve predictable handling and ride quality even with the added mass of the hybrid components.
