The all-new compact SUV is the first to feature Toyota’s latest infotainment system, although many other models from the brand will be updated shortly.

Toyota is introducing a next-generation infotainment system.

This technology includes AT&T 5G connectivity and a new AI assistant.

It will make its debut on the 2026 RAV4, along with active video recording capabilities.

Toyota is enhancing its in-car technology. The automaker has officially unveiled a significant upgrade to its Toyota Audio Multimedia system in the U.S., set to be featured first on the completely new sixth-generation 2026 Toyota RAV4 before being introduced across the entire lineup.

What can we expect? Larger screens, quicker connectivity, improved voice controls, an integrated dash-cam style recorder, and a specialized EV interface.

Much of this has been developed by a Toyota U.S. team for a North American audience (sorry, karaoke is not included). Let’s explore the essential features – which thankfully include a traditional rotary volume knob.

1. Advanced Connectivity

Toyota has introduced 5G network integration powered by AT&T, resulting in improved reception, faster data transmission, and smoother connectivity.

The foundation remains Automotive Grade Linux, but this version includes enhancements from Woven, part of Toyota’s Arene Software Development kit, which the company claims is a step toward creating a software-defined vehicle. Just a step? Other manufacturers, such as Mercedes, have already achieved this.

2. Customizable Interface

Cabin technology is becoming more streamlined at Toyota. You can opt for either a standard 10.5-inch screen or an available 12.9-inch display, and the home screen is now fully customizable with widgets.

You can organize navigation, audio, weather, and smart-device status into a layout that suits your preferences, a feature that other manufacturers have also begun to offer. A new “Quick Control Menu” is positioned in the upper right of the screen for quick access to Bluetooth, brightness, ADAS toggles, and roadside assistance with a single tap.

Of course, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included in the package.

3. Enhanced Voice Functionality 

Does the slow response of your current Toyota's voice assistant discourage you from using it? The new version promises significantly faster responses as it no longer requires a cloud connection to understand commands.

You can request actions with phrases like “Hey Toyota, change the song” or even perform simple calculations if you suddenly need to figure out your annual coffee expenses.

4. Integrated Navigation and Drive Recorder

More than a decade after Audi’s Virtual Cockpit enabled full navigation maps on a digital gauge cluster, Toyota is finally implementing this feature.

Additionally, a built-in Drive Recorder allows the vehicle's exterior cameras to record triggered events or manual captures, eliminating the need for a bulky dash cam. Users can watch playback on the screen or download clips through USB.

5. Customized Charging

Since everyone's charging needs differ, Toyota is introducing a dedicated “EV Domain” on the infotainment screen where EV and hybrid drivers can set and manage charge limits.

You can also initiate and halt charging through the Toyota smartphone app, which has been expanded to include functions like turning on lights and opening the trunk and windows.

While some of this functionality is long overdue and none of it seems truly revolutionary, it could help solidify the 2026 RAV4 as the preferred choice in the compact SUV market.

      С начала 2025 года в Республике Татарстан отмечается стабильный рост индивидуального жилищного строительства. Согласно информации пресс-службы Управления Росреестра по РТ, за указанный период было построено 16 499 индивидуальных жилых домов общей площадью свыше 2,2 миллиона квадратных метров. Большинство новых домов (10 281) расположены в сельской местности, что указывает на увеличивающийся интерес жителей к загородной жизни. Дополнительно, 3115 домов были возведены на территориях садоводческих товариществ. Основное предпочтение татарстанцы отдают одноэтажным домам — их количество составило 10 527. Двухэтажных домов построено 5496, а трехэтажных — 476. Основным строительным материалом по-прежнему является кирпич. По данным Единого государственного реестра недвижимости (ЕГРН), в 2025 году было возведено 8701 кирпичный дом. Деревянные дома также пользуются популярностью — их количество достигло 1788. Каменные и панельные конструкции используются значительно реже: построено всего 36 и 39 домов соответственно. Заместитель руководителя Росреестра Татарстана Лилия Бурганова комментирует ситуацию: «Загородная недвижимость всегда была востребована. Жители Татарстана активно продолжают строить индивидуальные жилые дома, что говорит о возросшем интересе к жизни за пределами республики. Развивается дорожная инфраструктура, появляются новые социальные объекты и услуги, что делает жизнь за городом более комфортной».
