Toyota is facing significant production challenges with its redesigned 2026 RAV4, leading to low inventory, higher prices, and difficulty for consumers to find the popular SUV. The issues stem from plant retooling required for the new generation, with US plants not yet fully operational, making Japan the primary supplier. This scarcity has caused 2026 RAV4s to sell quickly and often above MSRP, impacting overall automotive sales due to the model’s high volume.
