The RAV4 is as beloved per capita in the U.S. as it is here in Canada. There are good reasons for it, starting with Toyota’s rock-solid reputation in the fields of reliability, build quality and resale value. But the RAV4 also benefits from a wide-ranging lineup that offers plenty of choice to consumers with different needs and tastes. Who can forget the entry onto the market of the RAV4 Prime, so popular a plug-in variant that Toyota was taking months to fill the many orders it was receiving?

What KBB liked:

- Great practicality
- Reliability
- Resale value
- Wide-ranging product offering
- Prime plug-in variant gets 68 km of range, offers excellent power
- Continual improvements to the model year after year; 2022 is no exception
- RAV4 Hybrid variant added to the lineup
- Even the non-hybrid versions are pretty fuel-efficient
