In the spring of 2026, it will introduce an OS of its own development of a new generation in RAV4. With the help of a system that will receive the name Arene, Toyota hopes to catch up Tesla and Chinese competitors, who went far ahead in the field of digital technology. The fact that Arene debuts immediately on one of the most popular crossovers in the world, speaks of Toyota’s confidence in his abilities, as failure can turn into mass reviews.
Arene will control the multimedia system and electronic assistants RAV4 – for example, the function of holding in the movement lane. That is, while the operating room is connected only to two areas in which the software can be used. In a larger architecture, which will also combine body electronics (for example, door locks) and the control electronics of the power plant, they promise to turn Arene later.
The development of the OS is engaged in Woven, a subsidiary of Toyota, which is also responsible for technology for drones. Toyota states that work on Arene is in accordance with the schedule, but the functionality that it will receive at the start is not as rich as it was planned originally.

According to the chief technical director of WoVEN John Abstamyer, the developers are closely monitoring what is happening in China. Now the Japanese are noticeably lagging behind in the field of automobile software: Toyota last year was in the tail of the Gartner automaker index, which evaluates the potential for monetization of software services. American Tesla, as well as Chinese NIO and Xpeng, is significantly ahead of it.
The new Toyota Rav4 debuted a week ago. The crossover will receive a new design, but saved the TNGA-K platform, the body of the body and the 2.5-liter engine. The most powerful installation is a recharged hybrid that develops 324 forces. It is expected that the dealers will appear before the beginning of 2026.
