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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base model is lighter on equipment, while upper trims add more sophisticated tech and convenience features. The Trail grade is the one tied to the test vehicle’s more distinctive appearance, and Limited brings more premium content.
• Powertrain: The gas model uses a 2.5-litre four-cylinder with 203 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, while hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions add efficiency and, in the Prime, much more electric capability.
• 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 monitor with rear cross-traffic alert and rear cross-traffic braking are also standard.
• Infotainment: Standard equipment includes a 7-inch touchscreen, six-speaker audio, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and SiriusXM. A 9-inch screen is optional on Trail and standard on Limited, with navigation and an 11-speaker JBL system.
• Fuel efficiency: The gas model is rated at 7.9 L/100 km combined with FWD, while AWD versions range from 7.9 to 8.5 L/100 km combined. The hybrid is rated at 6.0 L/100 km combined, and the Prime can travel up to 68 km on electricity alone at 2.5 Le/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 entry point, and it makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the RAV4 nameplate. You still get the standard safety suite and core infotainment features, but you give up the richer equipment and polish found higher up the range.
• XLE: This is the best-value choice for many shoppers because it adds more everyday comfort and convenience without jumping too far in price. If you want a balanced used RAV4, this is the trim to focus on first.
• XLE Premium: Choose this if you want a more upscale feel and are willing to pay for it. It builds on the XLE formula with more premium content, making it a better fit if cabin refinement matters to you.
• Limited: This is the trim to target if you want the most complete mainstream gas-model experience. It gets the larger 9-inch touchscreen standard and brings the RAV4 closer to a fully loaded family SUV.
• Trail: This is the right pick if you like the more distinctive styling and want the test vehicle’s character. It also offers the optional larger touchscreen, which helps it feel more modern.
• TRD Off-Road: This is the most specialised gas trim in the lineup, aimed at buyers who want the most rugged-looking version. It sits at the top of the gas range and is the one to consider if that character matters most to you.

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?

The market looks moderately favourable if you’re a selective buyer.

• Deal availability: 29.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 849 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.75% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $32,207 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 $32,225 CAD sits slightly below last year's $34,558 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 room for further price drops over time.

Even so, the RAV4’s broad appeal, strong practicality, and reputation for dependability should continue to support demand. Well-equipped examples in desirable trims are likely to hold attention better than stripped-down versions.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.44/5, 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+, thanks to slightly better ratings in the updated side-impact crash test. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) awarded the 2022 RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid their highest five-star rating.

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 monitor with rear cross-traffic alert and rear cross-traffic braking are also standard.

One caveat is that the RAV4 Prime’s separate crash-test rating is stronger than the standard model’s, so the exact safety result can vary by powertrain.

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:

• 29.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.75% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.44/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• It combines strong safety, broad practicality, and a mature design.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $30,310 CAD, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $32,225 CAD average.
• It offers broad trim and powertrain choice with a strong practicality focus.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $34,989 CAD, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $32,225 CAD average.
• It updates the infotainment system and keeps the well-reviewed styling.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, safety, and everyday usefulness, the 2022 is the sensible default. If you’re more price-sensitive, the 2021 can save you money, while the 2023 makes sense if you want the refreshed infotainment and don’t mind paying more.
