What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Toyota RAV4?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base model gets the essentials, but upper trims add more sophisticated tech and equipment; the Limited and Trail grades stand out for their added features, while the base trim is the most stripped-back.
• Powertrain: The gas model uses a 2.5-litre four-cylinder with 203 horsepower and an eight-speed automatic, while hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions add efficiency and, in the Prime, much more power.
• Safety package: Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 is standard, with pre-collision braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure alert with steering assist, automatic high beams, lane-tracing assist, and road-sign assist; in Canada, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and rear cross-traffic braking are also standard.
• Infotainment: Standard equipment includes a 7-inch touchscreen, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Bluetooth; a 9-inch screen is optional on Trail and standard on Limited, with navigation and an 11-speaker JBL audio system.
• Fuel efficiency: The gas model is rated at 8.8 L/100 km city, 6.8 highway, and 7.9 combined with FWD, while AWD versions range from 8.7 to 9.5 city, 6.9 to 7.4 highway, and 7.9 to 8.5 combined.

Which 2022 Toyota RAV4 trim should I buy?

The 2022 Toyota RAV4 is offered in 6 trim levels: LE, XLE, XLE Premium, Limited, Trail, and TRD Off-Road.

Here's the short version:

• LE: This is the entry point, and it makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the RAV4 without giving up the core safety and practicality that define the model.
• XLE: This is the best-value choice for many buyers because it adds more everyday comfort and convenience while staying well below the upper trims.
• XLE Premium: Choose this if you want a more upscale feel without jumping all the way to the top of the range.
• Limited: This is the right pick if you want the most polished mainstream RAV4 experience, including the richer tech and comfort content.
• Trail: This suits you if you want the more rugged-looking version and are drawn to the added capability-oriented character described in the review.
• TRD Off-Road: Pick this only if you specifically want the most off-road-focused gas RAV4 in the lineup.

Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 is standard across the lineup, and Canadian models also include blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and rear cross-traffic braking.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Toyota RAV4?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so it pays to compare listings carefully and move quickly on strong examples.

• Deal availability: 34.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 803 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.66% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $31,230 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Toyota RAV4's resale value?

The current average of $31,230 CAD sits slightly below last year's $33,821 CAD.

That softer pricing can help you as a buyer today, but it also suggests future sellers may face a more competitive resale environment if market conditions stay similar. A lower current average often means the model has already absorbed some depreciation, which can reduce the upside for a later seller. Even so, the RAV4's broad appeal and strong owner satisfaction should help support demand.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.4/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Toyota RAV4 safe?

The 2022 Toyota RAV4 is an IIHS Top Safety Pick, and the RAV4 Prime is a Top Safety Pick+, thanks to slightly better ratings in the updated side-impact crash test.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 is standard, and it includes pre-collision braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure alert with steering assist, automatic high beams, lane-tracing assist, and road-sign assist. In Canada, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and rear cross-traffic braking are also standard.

Toyota’s Star Safety System is also included, along with eight airbags, LATCH anchors, tether anchors, and child-guard locks. Front and rear parking assist with automatic braking is available on upper grades.

Should I buy a 2022 Toyota RAV4 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 34.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.66% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• It combines strong safety, broad appeal, and a mature, well-rounded package.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $29,483 CAD, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $31,230 CAD average.
• It offers more trim and powertrain flexibility, including the Prime and TRD Off-Road package.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $34,508 CAD, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $31,230 CAD average.
• It updates the infotainment system while keeping the same basic formula.

The bottom line: The 2022 is the best all-around choice if you want a balanced used RAV4 with strong safety and broad market availability. If price matters most, the 2021 can be the smarter buy; if you want the newer infotainment update, look at the 2023.
