    No 2021 Toyota RAV4 XLE is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the 2021 Toyota RAV4 XLE before buying one.

    Before you sign for the RAV4

    Reading the spec sheet

    The powertrain to know here is the 2.5L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

    The combined figure, 7.8 L/100 km, means roughly 23 litres for 300 km. Expect about $12.09 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    Who rents the RAV4

    It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.

    Size and space

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

    Rent it for a week first

    If the RAV4 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent the RAV4 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

    Narrowing it down

    A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.

    Money matters

    Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. 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.
