5G network expansion includes vehicle connectivity starting with 2026 Toyota RAV4.<\/b>
\nAT&T\u2019s 5G network is officially coming to Toyota vehicles, powering the brand\u2019s Connected Services with faster speeds, stronger coverage, and next-gen in-car features.
Toyota Motor North America is taking its in-car experience up a notch by rolling out AT&T 5G in select 2026 models. This upgrade promises faster connectivity, smoother entertainment, and smarter connected services \u2013 all powered by AT&T\u2019s expanding 5G network.
The new setup will enhance Toyota Connected Services, which includes everything from real-time navigation and remote access to safety alerts and maintenance updates. Over-the-air software updates will also make keeping your car up to date as simple as it is with your phone.
Passengers will also be able to connect up to five devices to AT&T Connected Car Wi-Fi, making streaming, gaming, or remote work on the go much easier. You can activate it right through the Toyota app or by entering your VIN at att.com\/connectedcar.
Plus, some 5G-equipped models will feature SiriusXM with 360L, blending satellite and streaming content into one seamless experience. That means more curated channels, on-demand shows, and personalized recommendations.
AT&T has been the trusted connectivity provider for Toyota vehicles since model year 2020 and we\u2019re proud to continue driving the evolution of connected transportation with the introduction of AT&T 5G. Together with Toyota, we\u2019re enabling advanced connectivity for drivers and passengers.\u2013 Matt Harden, associate vice president, AT&T Connected Solutions, October 13, 2025
The first Toyota to get this upgrade? The 2026 RAV4, with more Toyota and Lexus models to follow.
Future-proofing your ride
Upgrading to 5G is the natural next step for car connectivity \u2013 especially since 4G is slowly on its way out. T-Mobile has already started hinting at its eventual 4G shutdown, which will also affect connected cars. AT&T and Verizon are expected to follow in time, so rolling out 5G in upcoming models now is a smart, future-proof decision.
Sure, 4G isn\u2019t disappearing tomorrow, but cars last far longer than phones. Having 5G built in ensures these vehicles will stay connected for years without falling behind.
A smarter road ahead
As connectivity becomes a core part of the driving experience, it\u2019s exciting to see carmakers and carriers taking real steps toward the future. Faster networks don\u2019t just mean better streaming \u2013 they pave the way for smarter safety features, real-time updates, and truly connected driving.
The shift to 5G in cars might not sound groundbreaking today, but it\u2019s setting the stage for the next era of mobility.
