If you're in the market for a car that is both reliable and practical, then a used Toyota RAV4 is a great choice. There are many equipment levels to choose from, and Toyota has included multiple high-tech features over the years. The car has a spacious interior and a large boot, making it ideal for family use, while the availability of both self-charging and plug-in hybrid powertrains gives it a unique position in the used car market.
Throughout its years, the RAV4 has been available with petrol, diesel and hybrid powertrains, paired with a manual or an automatic gearbox and front- or four-wheel drive.
PetrolNot only does the RAV4 have sufficient power for everyday driving, but it also benefits from having a comfortable interior, which makes it well-suited for a family.
Interior spaceToyota first revealed the RAV4 in 1994, and was originally similar in size to the Suzuki Vitara. Its original design made it look like an off-road vehicle, even though it drove and handled like a car. Though RAV is short for 'Recreational Activity Vehicle, Four-Wheel Drive', more recent iterations have been available with two-wheel drive for better fuel economy and lower emissions. Over five generations, Toyota has continued to change the vehicle's appearance, add more efficient powertrains - including self-charging hybrid and plug-in hybrid - and upgrade the interior.
With the release of the fifth generation, Toyota worked to give the RAV4 a bolder, more upmarket look. It came with swept-back headlights for a more angular appearance, as well as enlarged wheel arches. Its flat rear-end design was changed by a forward-raked C-pillar.
The interior also received some upgrades, with a floating touchscreen display design paired with the Toyota Entune 3.0 touchscreen multimedia system. A new plug-in hybrid engine option was also introduced.

For the fourth generation, Toyota raked the windshield differently to give the RAV4 more dynamic style. The company also removed the spare wheel from the tailgate, which had previously contributed to more of an off-road look. Overall, the SUV grew slightly longer, offering more cabin and luggage space for passengers.
In 2015, a slight refresh was released, mainly to shift the trim levels around with new equipment. Some upgraded materials were added to the cabin.

The hybrid configurations have been among the most popular RAV4s in the UK. It's easy to find one of the self-charging hybrid petrol engines in the used market, with the base 214bhp, 2.5-litre engine being the most popular among RAV4 owners.
Newer RAV4s come in three trim levels: Design, Excel and GR Sport. Previous generations included trims such as Icon, Icon Tech, Active, Business Edition, Business Edition Plus, Dynamic and Dynamic Premium. Currently, the Excel is the most popular trim option for the Toyota RAV4, with leather seats, 18-inch alloy wheels and blind-spot monitoring being key selling points for this trim level.
Models with roof rails are helpful if you want to transport any extra gear, such as bikes or a roof box. You may also want to consider getting a model with an adjustable passenger seat for added comfort during longer drives.
Yes, the RAV4 has become a popular choice with families because of the efficient powertrains and the comfortable, spacious interior. With adequate back seat and boot space, the RAV4 would make an excellent vehicle for family duties.
Yes, there are both self-charging hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions of the RAV4 available to buy on the used market.
Yes, Toyota offered the RAV4 with both an automatic and manual gearbox. In the UK used car market, there are many more automatic models available than manual.
Toyota created the RAV4 with either a front or an all-wheel drive configuration. There are nearly twice as many used models with four-wheel drive than with front, so that is the most popular option available.
