Overview

Toyota has been busy announcing new models of all its cars and it has now announced the 2024 RAV4. That changes over the previous model year include new two-tone Army Green color option for Woodland Edition, Adventure, and TRD Off-Road models, new optional Weather Package for Woodland Edition, and Standard Activity Mount for Woodland Edition. With 6 trims on offer, the 2024 Toyota RAV4 has a starting price of $28,475 which translates to a price hike of $200. 

The prices for the top-end 4Runner Limited go all the way up to $36,780, while the RAV4 hybrid models lie between $31,425 and $39,730. The RAV4 also gets Electronic on Demand AWD with Standard Trail Mode for better traction and the latest generation update of Toyota Audio Multimedia (TSS 2.5) as standard. There's no update yet on the RAV4 Prime hybrid and should come out by early next year. Check out the video below by "Kirk Kreifels" for a more closer look at all the updates available for the Toyota 2024 RAV4. 

The release date for the RAV4 2024 is yet to be officially announced but expect to see all models to hit the dealerships before the end of 2023. Although the RAV4 has remained mostly the same since its last major update back in 2019, considering Toyota's reputation, we don't expect any major update for another year or so. That said, the Toyota SUV offers a great balance of comfort and practicality while also being frugal and reliable. The RAV4 competes directly with other crossover SUVs like the 2024 Kia Sportage, the 2024 Honda CRV, the 2024 Mazda CX-50, and the 2024 Subaru Forester.

Buying Advice

The 2024 Toyota RAV4 is largely unchanged and gets the same trim configuration as last year. Therefore, we recommend opting for the Toyota RAV4 XLE Premium which gets a starting price of $32,875. This trim offers a great combination between availability of necessary creature comforts and offering value for money. 

If budget is not an issue for you, opting for the RAV4 TRD Off-Road at $38,095 adds many more valuable features It gets larger 18-inch wheels with all terrain tires, off-road tuned suspension, unique black exterior trims, and a larger touchscreen. 

Comparative Analysis against Competition

The Toyota RAV4 2024 is powered by a 2.5L naturally aspirated inline-4 engine and comes mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. It produce 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque and gets a combined fuel economy rating of 30 MPG. Accelerating from 0-60 in 8.4 seconds, the RAV4 can cover the quarter mile in 16.6 seconds. Toyota offers the RAV4 in 5 stunning colors, with the Midnight Black being a particular favorite of ours.

The exterior gets no design changes this year and same is the case with the interior of the RAV4. The cabin is amongst the most spacious in the segment while the cargo space is also one of the best at 37.6 cu-ft. That said, it misses out on some latest tech and the design doesn't feel as modern as its competitors. Where this Toyota excels is in the safety. The standard safety suite, a 4-star overall safety rating from NHTSA, and the "Top Safety Pick" award from IIHS, all showcase its superiority.

The RAV4 gets a reliability rating of 82/100 from J.D. Power for the previous model year and should continue this year as well. Expect the 5-year cost of ownership to also be around the $38,930 mark as last year which is on par with the segment standards. Toyota should also continue to offer finance offer at 4.99% for a 60-month duration while lease deals should at around $460/month for a duration of 36-months.

              Pros - The hybrid engine provides faster response, more power, and better fuel efficiency., The car looks stunning.

              Cons - It should come with a version that has better engine or install a turbo charger., Please make a plugin hybrid as well.
