What to check on the RAV4

A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 409 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

What the figures tell you

The powertrain to know here is the 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid, with all-wheel drive. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 18 litres, from its 5.9 L/100 km rating. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $27.45 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$1,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Size and space

Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.

Who it is for

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.

Drive it on your own roads

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. If the RAV4 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

What it costs to run

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $9.15 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$1,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Narrowing it down

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
