Trade in: the 2021 Toyota RAV4 Trail

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2021 Toyota RAV4 Trail for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Before you buy the 2021 Toyota RAV4 Trail, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

Before you sign for the RAV4

Owners filed 409 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

Under the hood

Power comes from the 2.5L 4-cylinder, driving 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.

It is rated 7.8 L/100 km combined: about 23 litres every 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $36.27 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Good uses for the RAV4

It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

Room inside

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent the RAV4 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Try the RAV4 on your commute, then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

Which one to look for

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

Running costs

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $120.90 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
