Is the 2022 Toyota RAV4 a good car?

Generally — the 2022 Toyota RAV4 earns a 4.4/5 user rating and an 8.3/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Form and function, and Safety.

Owners repeatedly praise its practicality, comfort, and performance, along with its spacious interior and useful technology. The review summary also points to strong all-weather confidence and broad everyday appeal.

The trade-offs are clear too: the stereo is lacking, the interior can feel basic or cramped to some buyers, and value for money is a concern.

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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LE is the entry point, while higher trims add more equipment and polish. The base model is the one most likely to leave you wanting more, especially if you care about convenience and cabin refinement.
• Powertrain: The gas model uses a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine with 203 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions are also part of the broader lineup, with the Prime offering the strongest output and electric-only driving.
• Safety package: Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 is standard and includes pre-collision system with pedestrian detection and automatic emergency 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: Base models get a 7-inch touchscreen, six-speaker audio, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Bluetooth. A 9-inch screen is optional on Trail and standard on Limited, along with an 11-speaker JBL system, navigation, Safety Connect, and Service Connect.
• Fuel efficiency: The gas model is rated at 8.8 L/100 km city, 6.8 L/100 km highway, and 7.9 L/100 km combined with FWD. AWD versions range from 8.7 to 9.5 L/100 km city, 6.9 to 7.4 L/100 km highway, and 7.9 to 8.5 L/100 km 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 value entry point, but it’s also the trim most likely to feel stripped back compared with the rest of the lineup. It suits you if you want the RAV4 basics and plan to keep costs down.
• XLE: This is the best-value trim for most buyers because it adds more everyday comfort and convenience without jumping too far up the price ladder. If you want the sweet spot, start here.
• XLE Premium: Choose this if you want a more upscale feel and are willing to pay for it. It builds on the XLE with a more polished overall presentation.
• Limited: This is the most feature-rich mainstream trim and is the one to consider if you want the most complete gas-model experience. It also gets the standard 9-inch touchscreen.
• Trail: This trim is aimed at buyers who want a more rugged look and capability-focused positioning. It also can be paired with the optional 9-inch touchscreen.
• TRD Off-Road: This is the most specialised gas trim and is the one to choose if you want the most adventure-oriented version in the lineup.

Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 is standard across the lineup, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is standard in Canada.

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

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

• Deal availability: 30.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 826 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.34% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $31,777 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 $31,804 CAD sits slightly below last year's $33,955 CAD.

That price movement suggests the market has eased, which can help you as a buyer today but may temper resale upside if you sell soon. If you buy at the right price, you reduce the risk of taking a hit later. The RAV4’s broad appeal still supports demand, especially among shoppers who want a practical compact SUV with strong everyday usefulness.

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 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick, and the RAV4 Prime is a Top Safety Pick+.

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

Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 is standard, and it includes pre-collision system with pedestrian detection and automatic emergency 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.

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:

• 30.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.34% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• It combines strong safety, broad trim choice, and a mature, well-rounded package.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $29,953 CAD, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $31,804 CAD average.
• It adds the RAV4 Prime to a still-fresh current-generation lineup.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $34,417 CAD, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $31,804 CAD average.
• It updates the infotainment system for a more current cabin feel.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, safety, and broad appeal, the 2022 is the sensible default. If your budget is tighter, the 2021 can save you money while keeping much of the same formula.
