Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: Toyota Safety Sense 4.0
• Infotainment: a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and an enhanced 10.5-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Fuel efficiency: Toyota expects the EPA to rate the 2026 RAV4 at 44 mpg combined with FWD and AWD. Top AWD trims such as XSE and Limited net 42 mpg combined, and the taller ride height, the extra weight, and the all-terrain tires ding the Woodland trim to 39 mpg combined.

Which Toyota RAV4 trim should I buy?

The 2026 Toyota RAV4 offers these trims:

• LE: The entry trim brings the standard screens, push-button start, three USB ports, cloth upholstery, and manually adjustable seats, making it the value-focused starting point.
• XLE: This is the best-value trim in the Core line, adding a power driver’s seat, heated front seats, and five USB ports.
• SE: The base trim in the Sport line adds the same upgraded convenience content as the XLE, along with the Sport styling theme.
• XSE: This Sport trim adds the slimmer electric shifter and is one of the AWD trims that returns 42 mpg combined.
• Limited: This upper trim adds the slimmer electric shifter and is one of the AWD trims that returns 42 mpg combined.
• Woodland: This Rugged trim adds all-terrain tires, AWD, a roof rack with cross bars, a tow hitch, small rectangular fog lights from Rigid Industries, and a ride height increase to 8.5 inches.
• GR Sport: This Sport model adds the first-ever GR Sport treatment, with the most notable mechanical differences in the lineup.

What Toyota RAV4 do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume years tend to be the most popular used picks because they give you more inventory to compare, more pricing spread, and more chances to find the equipment level you want. They also sit close enough to the current generation to keep the RAV4’s core strengths front and center.

What is the Toyota RAV4's resale value?

Most model years in the table are moving lower year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used and want more room to negotiate. A few years are rising, though, especially among the newer models, which shows that demand remains strong for the freshest examples.

The 2015, 2016, and 2017 model years are holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2024, 2023, and 2014 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 −3.25% versus a year ago, and the 2022 model is at −2.54%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 45.1% good and great deals, and the 2022 model has 37.9%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $32,228. The Toyota RAV4 offers a practical, roomy, and easy-to-live-with 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 to power the rear axle and output increases 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: Every 2026 RAV4 comes with a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance features as standard, now dubbed Toyota Safety Sense 4.0, and it adds a limited hands-free driving system on certain highways along with a wider camera view and broader radar detection.
• 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 2025 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.
