What Toyota RAV4 do most buyers choose?

The Toyota RAV4 years with the most listings are 2024, 2025, and 2023.

What is the Toyota RAV4's resale value?

Most model years are down year over year, which can work in your favor if you’re shopping used. A few recent years are still rising, so pricing remains uneven across the lineup rather than moving in one direction.

The 2014, 2024, and 2023 model years have held their value best, with prices flat to rising year-over-year.

Should I buy a used Toyota RAV4 now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −3.44% versus a year ago, and the 2022 model is at −2.22%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 40.5% good and great deals, and the 2022 model has 35.8%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $30,996. The Toyota RAV4 offers a practical, family-friendly cabin with strong everyday usability and a long-running reputation for being a responsible long-term choice.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The RAV4 has a beefier and a slightly more efficient hybrid system than its predecessor, with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors generating 226 horsepower, while all-wheel-drive models add a third motor and increase output from 219 to 236 hp.
• Tech: A new 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and an enhanced 10.5-inch touchscreen highlight the fresh tech loaded into the RAV4, and Toyota introduced a new operating system called Arene that’s more responsive, quicker to load, and has crisper graphics.
• Safety: Toyota Safety Sense 4.0 adds a wider camera view and broader radar detection, plus limited hands-free driving on certain highways.
• Starting price: Toyota says pricing will start in the low $30,000s.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
