Toyota has released the first images of the next-generation RAV4, due to be fully revealed on May 21, reports Autocar.

From both the overhead images and previous spy shots, the SUV looks to have taken a more rugged form than the current car, borrowing cues from the new Land Cruiser.

What’s more, it seems to have use the same hammerhead-style headlights as the new Urban Cruiser and updated bZ4X.

An inside shot shows the Mk6 RAV4 has adopted the same display set-ups as its Land Cruiser and Urban Cruiser siblings, but instead of their enclosed screens, there's a pair of “floating” units.

Another picture confirms the cabin will be fitted with a chunky center console.

The current car is sold exclusively with a 302bhp plug-in hybrid powertrain, centered on a 2.5-litre gasoline engine that can do 46 miles of electric-only driving.
