| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid 7-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Less expensive than the Prius |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid 7-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
saves me over 600 a month in gas, so this car pays for itself and saves me money every month, kinda funny but since I drive over 1000 miles a week it makes sense :) |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid 7-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Great price compared to competition. |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid 7-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Lower price is a bonus on what is a nicer car |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid 7-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
The 2010 Honda Insight is probably the cheapest new hybrid currently available. |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid 7-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Low price. |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid 7-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Pretty good price for a 4 seater hybrid. |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid 7-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
The price/value for what I was getting cinched the deal. |

| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid 7-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Higher interest than what I got from Volkswagen. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Toyota RAV4
| Price of the Toyota RAV4: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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 | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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. |
