    They don't tell you it's the new 6th generation RAV4 but everyone knows it is.
    Toyota's teaser images are now drone shots from above:

    Europe spilled a couple of extra closeup shots but from the inside.

    Looks like the current RAV4, just not as round. Carscoops thinks it looks Prius inside but the MID isn't no wheres near as far back. The buttons on the steering wheel does look a little like the Prius.

    And it looks like they are doing away with the shifter? Although that shot may be a bit off to show the shifter.

    As every magazine out there has assumed, the base model will probably be all hybrid and even though a couple of magazines have said it might have the new 1.5L turbo, it'll probably stick with an upgraded 2.5L based hybrid just like the Camry. Word is there might be a BEV version as well as the PHEV since revisions to the TNGA-K have full electrification. Would they use the 1.5L turbo in a platinum (power hybrid) version? Probably not as it might be a bit too buzzy. But we'll find out next Tuesday.
