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

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −1.83% versus a year ago, and the 2022 model is at −3.02%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 40.5% good and great deals, and the 2022 model has 38.2%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $30,418. The Toyota RAV4 offers a practical, roomy, and dependable character that has made it a long-running family favorite.

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 wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard.
• Safety: Toyota Safety Sense 4.0 adds a wider camera view and broader radar detection range, plus automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, updated lane-departure alert and lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control with limited hands-free driving, blind-spot monitors with rear cross-traffic alerts, an emergency stop system, a safe-exit alert, and an enhanced rearview camera.
• Starting price: Toyota says pricing will start in the low $30,000s when the RAV4 goes on sale this fall.

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.
