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 Trail grade is the one tied to the larger touchscreen and premium audio, while Limited also gets the 9-inch screen standard.
• Powertrain: The gas model uses a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine with 203 horsepower and an eight-speed automatic. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions are also offered, and the gas AWD setup adds fuel-saving rear-driveline disconnect.
• 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, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Bluetooth. A 9-inch touchscreen is optional on Trail and standard on Limited, along with an 11-speaker JBL audio system, navigation, Safety Connect, and Service Connect.
• 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 L/100 km 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 gives you the core RAV4 formula at the lowest price. It suits you if you want the basics and standard safety without stretching the budget.
• XLE: This is the best-value choice for many buyers because it adds more equipment while staying well below the upper trims. It’s the trim to target if you want a balanced mix of features and price.
• XLE Premium: This trim moves you up to a more upscale feel and is a good fit if you want extra comfort without jumping all the way to the top end.
• Trail: This trim is the one tied to the larger touchscreen and premium JBL audio in the expert review, making it the better pick if tech matters more to you.
• Limited: This is the most polished gas-only choice, with the 9-inch touchscreen standard and the most complete feature set among the mainstream trims.
• TRD Off-Road: This is the most rugged-looking gas trim in the lineup, and it suits you if you want the off-road-themed version of the RAV4.

Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 is standard across the lineup, and Canadian models also get 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?

What is the 2022 Toyota RAV4's resale value?

The current average of $31,595 CAD sits slightly below last year's $33,779 CAD.

That softer pricing suggests the market has become a little more favourable for buyers, which can make resale values feel less inflated for future sellers. If you buy well now, you may have less downside risk than when prices were higher a year ago. Strong demand should still help support values, especially for clean examples with desirable equipment.

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.
