The 2020 Toyota RAV4 XLE: before you buy

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2020 Toyota RAV4 XLE for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2020 Toyota RAV4 XLE, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

A buyer's checks

There are 6 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 648 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, electrical system and unknown or other; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

The figures, translated

The 2.5L 4-cylinder does the work, through an 8-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 23 litres, from its 7.8 L/100 km rating. In energy, every 100 km costs about $12.09 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles.

Who it is for

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

The RAV4 in everyday use

As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.

A longer test drive

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the RAV4 first, and buy only if it fits your life.

Year and trim

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

Running costs

The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.09 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
