How much does the 2014 Toyota RAV4 cost?

Prices are up 4.67% year-over-year — a sign of continued demand for this model year.

There are 1,859 listings available, which gives you a solid pool to compare prices and equipment.

Is the 2014 Toyota RAV4 a good car?

Yes — the 4.88/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction, and the expert rating is 6.5/10. The standout strength is Form and function at 8/10.

Owners consistently praise its reliability, smooth driving experience, and spacious interior. The review summary also highlights good gas mileage and a practical AWD setup, which fits the RAV4’s role as a utility-first crossover. In use, that means you’re looking at a vehicle that makes the most sense if you want everyday practicality, cargo space, and easygoing commuting rather than excitement.

The market still shows 32.1% good or great deals, so there are worthwhile opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2014 Toyota RAV4 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.88/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The review summary repeatedly points to reliability, and it also describes the RAV4 as a practical choice that many drivers feel comfortable depending on. The expert evaluation likewise calls it a dependable option, with smooth everyday driving and a reputation for doing the basics well. The performance notes add to that impression by describing the engine as smooth and durable, even if it is not especially quick.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about outright durability and more about living with modest power and the possibility that prior maintenance quality varies from one example to another.

What should I look for when buying a used 2014 Toyota RAV4?

At 55.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially if the listing price looks unusually attractive. Focus on body condition, repair quality, and whether the vehicle drives straight and brakes cleanly, since accident history and safety concerns matter more here than on a cleaner, newer example. It is also smart to compare equipment carefully, because some of the most desirable features were not standard across the lineup.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Limited trim adds the most equipment, including the full Entune JBL multimedia setup, navigation, blind-spot monitoring, cross-traffic alert, lane-departure alerts, and auto high beams. The base setup is much simpler, so you should pay close attention to feature gaps if you want the more advanced convenience and safety tech.
• Powertrain: The RAV4 uses a 176-hp 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder with a 6-speed automatic. AWD versions are rated at 22 mpg city/29 highway for a combined 25 mpg, while FWD versions are rated at 24/31.
• Safety package: The available safety suite includes blind-spot monitoring, cross-traffic alert, lane-departure alerts, and auto high beams. Those features are tied to the Limited trim with the Technology Package, so lower trims miss out.
• Infotainment: The Limited’s JBL multimedia system includes Entune apps and services, navigation, Pandora, Bing search, and selected news feeds. The screen can be finicky and washes out in direct sunlight, and the full system requires a separate app and data connection.
• Fuel efficiency: AWD versions are rated at 22 mpg city/29 highway and 25 mpg combined; FWD versions are rated at 24 mpg city/31 highway.

Which 2014 Toyota RAV4 trim should I buy?

The 2014 Toyota RAV4 is offered in 1 trim level: Limited.

Here's the short version:

The Limited: is the trim to target if you want the most complete version of this RAV4. It adds the JBL multimedia system with navigation, the Entune app suite, and the Technology Package features that bring blind-spot monitoring, cross-traffic alert, lane-departure alerts, and auto high beams. If you want the best-equipped example and value convenience tech, this is the one to focus on.

The safety-package note is important here: those advanced driver-assistance features are available only on the Limited with the Technology Package.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2014 Toyota RAV4?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 32.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,859 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 4.67% year-over-year.
• Clean inventory: 55.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $12,846, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2014 Toyota RAV4's resale value?

The current average of $13,932 sits slightly above last year's $13,310.

That upward move suggests the market has held up reasonably well for this model year. If you buy carefully and keep the vehicle in good condition, you should have a decent chance of preserving value better than you would with a less in-demand crossover. The RAV4’s practical reputation and steady shopper interest help support that outlook.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.88/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2014 Toyota RAV4 safe?

The 2014 Toyota RAV4 earns a four-star rating from NHTSA for frontal crash protection and rollover, and five-star ratings in all other NHTSA tests. It also receives the IIHS’s lowest rating of Poor in the small-overlap frontal-offset crash test, though other IIHS tests earn Good ratings.

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

The safety equipment includes 8 airbags, full-length curtain airbags, driver’s-knee airbags, Whiplash-Injury-Lessening Seats, stability control, and traction control. The available driver-assistance features include blind-spot monitoring, cross-traffic alert, lane-departure alerts, and auto high beams, but those are limited to the Limited trim with the Technology Package.

The main caveat is the poor small-overlap result, so you should pay close attention to crash history and front-end repair quality when shopping used.

Should I buy a 2014 Toyota RAV4 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2014 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2014 if:

• 32.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 55.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices are up 4.67% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 4.88/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2014 combines class-leading cargo space with a dependable, practical character.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $14,832, the 2015 costs more than the current year's $13,932 average.
• It brings improved crash-test ratings and a more appealing overall package.

The bottom line: If you want the lower-priced option and are comfortable with the 2014’s safety compromises, this year can still make sense. If you can stretch your budget, the 2015 is the better all-around pick because it improves safety while keeping the same practical crossover appeal. For price-sensitive buyers, the 2014 remains the value play.
