2022 Toyota RAV4

Price Range: $20,990 - $44,889

Good

The 2022 RAV4 is a pleasant SUV that rides smoothly, has a roomy interior that's easy to live with, and offers plenty of utility. It brakes and handles in a confident way, and it's fuel-efficient. The merely satisfactory engine and indifferent steering, however, prevent it from being a top choice for a small SUV.

Overview

Written by automotive expert Brent Romans

Updated: 2/8/2022

The Toyota RAV4 is consistently one of the best-selling vehicles on the market, and if you're looking for a small SUV, chances are the RAV4 is on your short list. Highlight qualities include a roomy interior, a smooth ride and easy-to-use controls. It's an SUV you can get in and drive without thinking much about it.

Toyota offers a wide range of trim levels for the RAV4, so there's a good chance you'll find the one for you. There's a wallet-friendly base model, a top-trim version loaded with all the features, and more in between. There's also the RAV4 Adventure, which has tougher exterior styling and a bit more off-road capabilities, as well as the TRD Off-Road, which adds all-terrain tires and special suspension tuning. These trims don't transform the RAV4 into a Jeep Wrangler, but they do give it more capability than most other small SUVs.

Our test team has found the Toyota RAV4 to be a respectable pick for a small SUV, but there are plenty of other great options to consider as well. These include the well-rounded Honda CR-V, classy Mazda CX-5 and value-packed Nissan Rogue. Check out our Expert Rating below to get our full evaluation of the RAV4's comfort, utility and more.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Good

7.7

out of 10

We drove the 2022 Toyota RAV4 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

7/10

How does the RAV4 drive? The RAV4 doesn't impress here, unfortunately. The engine is willing around town, and passing and merging are drama-free. But if you're in a huge rush, you might notice the engine's ultimately modest power delivery. In Edmunds' testing, our RAV4 Adventure test vehicle needed 9.1 seconds to cover 0-60 mph, which is slightly slower than the class average.

Another gripe we have is with the steering, which is vague at the center point and doesn't have appropriate levels of feel and heft. As such, it's easy to misjudge your level of input. In better news, the RAV4's optional upgraded all-wheel-drive system includes rear-axle torque vectoring and more advanced traction control systems with selectable terrain settings and hill descent control. These systems, plus respectable ground clearance, give the RAV4 Adventure above-average off-road ability for a small SUV.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the RAV4? The RAV4's suspension is tuned to strike a good balance between control and softness. The body doesn't bound or float when you drive over bumps, and small to moderate impacts are absorbed without much drama. As for the front seats, they are nicely sculpted and padded appropriately, but the seat bottoms begin to feel flat on longer drives. The passenger side's lack of adjustment can also make it difficult to find a comfortable position.

At highway speeds, the RAV4 is generally quiet. The exception is when you hit the gas for a burst of speed, at which point the engine sound gets rather coarse. We do like the climate system's performance. Air distribution is ideal, with forward vents that can be closed off completely and vents for the rear seat.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? The driving position, roominess, and ease of getting in and out are all good. But the RAV4 would score higher if the front passenger seat wasn't set so high or could be adjusted down on most trims. Only the RAV4 Limited gets a power-adjustable front passenger seat. The driver's seat and steering wheel have a good range of adjustment, but tall drivers might want a smidge more of each. Outward visibility is praiseworthy.

The control layout is intuitive with large, easy-to-read labeling. The audio system and climate system controls are islands unto themselves, and everything else is right where you expect it to be. The big rubberized climate control knobs are nice too. Our only gripe is that the touchscreen is too far away from the driver. The tuning knob, in particular, requires a reach to twist.

Technology

8/10

How’s the tech? The RAV4's interface has a mix of touchscreen and fixed buttons that are easy to learn without consulting the owner's manual. But even though the RAV4 is relatively new, the touchscreen's graphics look dated. The sound system works well enough, but it's nothing special. You do get standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. It's a good thing too since Toyota's native Entune software remains clunky.

The standard suite of driver aids is impressive. It includes adaptive cruise control that works down to 0 mph, automatic emergency braking, drowsy driver detection, automatic high beams, lane keeping assist and something called Line Tracing Assist, which is an active (but not hands-free) steering aid.

Storage

8/10

How’s the storage? The RAV4's cargo hold is nearly the biggest in its class. You get 37.5 cubic feet with the rear seats up and 69.8 cubic feet with them stowed. The RAV4 is also easy to load thanks to a low cargo floor. Up front, the cabin has numerous shelves and bins to handle assorted road-trip paraphernalia. If you're planning on towing, certain versions of the RAV4 can pull up to 3,500 pounds, which is above average for a small SUV.

Parents with young kids will appreciate the RAV4. It's easy to locate and connect safety seats to the lower car seat anchors. Likewise, tethering to the three upper anchors is straightforward. Forward-facing seats and boosters fit readily, but installing a rear-facing infant seat on the passenger side will likely require scooting the front seat up. The too-high front passenger seat is the issue.

Fuel Economy

8.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates the RAV4 will get 28-30 mpg in combined city/highway driving, depending on the powertrain and trim level. We drove an AWD Adventure carrying three people, equipment and luggage for more than 7,000 miles. And over a variety of road and weather conditions, we averaged 28.6 mpg. Our best tank was 32.3 mpg and the worst was 25.6 mpg.

Value

8/10

Is the RAV4 a good value? The RAV4 is well built inside, with nice layered materials and seams that are invisible because they're built into the styling. It has tactile touches such as rubberized grip surfaces on the interior door pulls and the radio and climate knobs. The RAV4's optional simulated leather upholstery feels soft and pliable, and the stitching is tidy. Toyota's warranty coverage is average, but you do get a generous two years/25,000 miles of free scheduled maintenance.

Wildcard

7.5/10

Driving a RAV4 isn't a chore, but it's not particularly memorable either. It's at its best when you go with the Adventure or TRD Off-Road trim level. The advanced torque vectoring all-wheel-drive system, capable traction control system with multiple terrain settings, and styling that's a little more rugged help the RAV4 stand out a little more.

2022 RAV4 is much better than a 2019

Rick Sanders, 05/13/2022

2022 Toyota RAV4 LE 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 8A)

We totaled our 2019 RAV4 a month ago (no one was hurt thanks to all the air bags). Due to the high cost and demand of used cars and the shortage of new ones, we received almost what we had paid for the 2019 from the insurance pay out. We were able to purchase a new 2022 RAV4 which turns out to be 100% better than the 2019. Why?… The 2019 had the automatic engine shut off/turn on when …

2022 Toyota RAV4 XLE 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 8A)

I traded a 2022 Chevy Blazer that was cheap in quality would made a great rental car. What a shame Chevy got me once but never again. The Rav4 is perfect inside has a good fill, driving it very easy and solid has plenty of power and I am getting 40 mpg. I paid more than I wanted too because of the sign of time's.

Battery keeps dying

Toyota Guy, 10/29/2022

2022 Toyota RAV4 LE 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 8A)

2022 Gas Rav4 LE. Battery dies after 2 days of not driving. Dealer said it's because I don't drive enough. He said to take it out on the highway once a week for 20 miles. Kind of defeats gas mileage, I also hate the auto start stop at stop signs and red lights.

Great looking but uncomfortable

2022 Toyota RAV4 XLE 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl 8A)

2022 RAV4. This is my first Toyota and only my 2nd brand new vehicle. I thought I loved it but after 2 weeks of it being my daily vehicle, I am starting to hate it. The interior is small, the seats that I thought felt good while test driving, are now killing my back on my 40 minute commute to work. I hate how it shuts off when you stop. The Bluetooth is not great when on a phone call. …
