Specs
Specifications differ across generations and powertrains. Key common features include:
- Engine Options: Historically, petrol and diesel engines were common. Later generations predominantly feature 1.8L, 2.5L hybrid powertrains, and more recently, a 2.5L plug-in hybrid (PHEV).
- Drivetrain: Front-wheel drive (FWD) and All-wheel drive (AWD) options are available, with many hybrid models featuring an intelligent AWD system (E-Four).
- Transmission: Primarily Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) for hybrid models, and manual or automatic gearboxes for non-hybrids.
- Boot Space: Generally around 550-580 litres, expanding significantly with rear seats folded.
Common Issues
While generally excellent, some common points to check on used models include:
- Hybrid Battery Health: On older hybrids, check for any diagnostic trouble codes or reduced performance, though these batteries are typically very durable.
- CVT Transmission: Although reliable, ensure smooth operation with no unusual noises or jerking. Regular fluid changes are important.
- Suspension Components: Like any car driven on UK roads, check for wear on bushes and shock absorbers, particularly on higher-mileage examples.
- Infotainment System: Older systems can sometimes be slow or glitchy.
Running Costs
Running costs for the RAV4 are generally competitive, especially with the hybrid models:
- Fuel Economy: Hybrid models can achieve 50-60+ mpg, depending on driving style and conditions. Non-hybrid petrol/diesel models will be lower.
- Road Tax: Varies by CO2 emissions. Newer hybrids often fall into lower tax bands. PHEVs can be very inexpensive to tax.
- Insurance: Typically falls into moderate insurance groups.
- Servicing: Toyota servicing is generally reasonably priced, and many owners opt for dealer servicing for peace of mind and to maintain warranty coverage on hybrids.
