6-speed automatic AWD		 Lowest
2009 4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed automatic AWD		 My price paid was much smaller than Toyota and Honda similar models I researched.
2008 4dr SUV 153-horsepower 2.3L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 The price was within budget
2008 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic AWD		 Compared to Honda, Toyota and GM, much more "bang for the buck"!
2007 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 lower than the mazda
2007 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 Reasonable price for 1 year old lease return
2007 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid
CVT AWD		 Not much. Pricey for what you get.
2006 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid
CVT AWD		 Part of the deal was getting top dollar on my trade in.
2006 4dr SUV 153-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 At my purchase price of $15800 I think my Escape is an unmatched value.
2002 4dr SUV 127-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual AWD		 Bought vehicle with low interest. And price of 19,600 was very reasonable. Especially by SUV standards
Price of the Ford Escape: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD		 Hybrid was quite a premium over the V6.
2007 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD		 It is not economical when comparing standard engine vs. hybrid engine. You have to do it because you want a hybrid for the environment. However, it is 10K cheeper than Toyota Highlander Hybrid, but it is a lighter car too. Tow capacity is 1000 vs 3000.
2006 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid
CVT AWD		 As a hybrid, expect to pay a premium price.

What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Toyota RAV4

Price of the Toyota RAV4: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 good lease rates due to high resale value
Price of the Toyota RAV4: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr SUV 179-horsepower 2.5L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 Price was high, dealer did not offer much of a discount or was willing to work with me on my trade-in
2011 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 A base RAV4 is quite inexpensive. Fully optioned, the price can balloon by a third.
2008 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 No incentives
2008 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 V6 more. Not a fair comparison.
2007 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 A bit more than the crv, didnt want to wait 3 monthes for a custom built one from toyo corp since brother works there.
2007 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 Too pricey compared to a Honda.
2007 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 Almost $5000 more than a comparably equipped Santa Fe. Depreciation will be better, but I tend to keep cars long term so upfront pricing matters to me.
2006 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Significantly higher price than comparable vehicles.
2006 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 The vehicle is somewhat expensive, but the value is high because it offers alot for that money.
2006 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Little more expensive than some competitors and no great financing rates either. I guess since the car is popular they know people will pay the extra.
2006 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 I have always thought that cars are way more expensive than they need to be. Toyota tends to be more expensive that most.
2006 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 The RAV4 was a bit more expensive than comparable cars.
