Aside from the obvious all-new or first-ever novelties like the 2025 Camry hybrid-exclusive mid-size sedan, the Crown Signia successor to the affordable and hybrid $35k Venza mid-size crossover SUV, and the highly anticipated 2025 4Runner adventurer SUV, Toyota has also kicked off the proceeds for the 2025MY updates and model changeovers.
Already, the Japanese automaker has announced the pricing and other details for the 2025 Crown ($41,440) or 2025 Corolla Hatchback ($23,505). Still, of course, there are some fans who don't want to wait for the company's usual slow rollout of novelties. That includes members of the imaginative realm of digital car content creators, of course.
For example, the good folks over at the AutoYa info channel on YouTube have a satellite venue dubbed AutoYa Interior, and that's where all the (CGI) Toyota action is happening recently – the host and the resident pixel master have prepared a new 'Final Edition'-style version of the ultra-popular RAV4 compact crossover SUV, aka the 2025 Toyota RAV4 GR (or GR Sport)!
As such, before the Japanese automaker brings out the sixth generation 2026 Toyota RAV4 officially to life, the channel's host postulates that the company might offer its most enthusiastic fans the option to indulge in a collectible 'final edition' model of the current iteration. Of course, the resident CGI expert didn't stand idle, and they presented the sporty RAV4 GR (or GR Sport) derivative in this highly unofficial preview, complete with a few technical specifications like a hypothetical 400+ horsepower and six-speed manual powertrain.
More importantly, though, the digital author showcased a lot of performance goodies on the unassuming body of the regular Toyota RAV4, which gains black wheels, red brake calipers, a complete aerodynamic body kit, and a revamped interior. As always, there are also ample choices for the interior and exterior colors. So, which is your favorite? Also, do you think that Toyota will bring out such a cool and sporty model for the potential final model year of the current generation.
Also, note that the video doesn't conclude without some virtual and unofficial visions of the next generation of the Japanese best-seller. The CUV has enjoyed tremendous success over the passing years, and although this iteration is nearing the end of its life cycle, sales have been so strong that Toyota fought on a global level with the Tesla Model Y, which was crowned by some venues as the world's best-selling automobile when they ignored Toyota's attempt to hijack the chart by bundling the Corolla and Corolla Cross series together.
If you don't feel like rooting for a sporty RAV4, how about a performance 4Runner in exchange? The artist kelsonik has taken a liking to the TRD Pro model, so he dressed it in crimson with some neat and larger aftermarket wheels. So, what do you think about this one too?
