DETAILS ABOUT THE CAR:
Here's the detailed 2022 Toyota RAV4 review. Checkout its interior and exterior design, features, safety, technology, new changes, updates, lineup, trim levels, models, specs and other details in this video.

The 2022 Toyota RAV4 has a starting price of $26,525.

The 2022 Toyota RAV4 does everything most people need a compact SUV/crossover to do. And does it well. Not surprising, really, since Toyota pretty much invented this kind of vehicle with the first RAV4. So the company has had a lot of customer feedback as well as time to perfect the recipe.

This is also one of the best-selling compact crossovers in the world, with more than 10 million finding homes since the RAV4 launched in 1994. The current generation is the fifth, which debuted for 2019. So here is a compact crossover employing technology that perhaps isn’t cutting edge but still sufficiently modern, with the benefit of an outstanding pedigree.

Spacious, safe, and fuel-efficient, the RAV4 has to be on the shortlist of anyone looking at a new compact crossover SUV.

The 2022 RAV4 Hybrid and 2022 RAV4 Prime plug-in hybrid models each have their own reviews.

2022 Toyota RAV4 Price:

The 2022 Toyota RAV4 LE has a starting price of $26,525, plus a destination charge of $1,215. All-wheel drive adds $975.

At the top of the range is the TRD Off-Road RAV4, with all-wheel drive as standard. It starts at $36,465.

Among the many rivals, there are a few standouts. The Honda CR-V starts at about $25,000, the Subaru Forester and Kia Sportage both kick off around $25,200, the Ford Escape is a few hundred more, and the Mazda CX-5 is priced similarly to the RAV4.

Before buying, check the KBB.com Fair Purchase Price to see what others in your area paid for their new RAV4. Resale values are strong, likewise with the Honda CR-V. Our best pick for resale values, however, is the Subaru Forester.

It’s hard to believe the 2022 RAV4 is a compact crossover when sitting in the cabin. Headroom and legroom are plentiful in both seating rows, and cargo space expands from 37.5 to 69.8 cubic feet when both the 60/40 split rear seats are folded down.

As the trim levels become plusher, so does the interior. The XLE Premium has a leather-wrapped steering wheel and simulated leather seating surfaces. Adventure trim adorns the upholstery with orange stitching, the TRD Off-Road has red stitching. Limited has dark brown interior accents with blue ambient lighting. All versions have soft-touch plastics up front.

The infotainment system is easy enough to negotiate without referring to the manual. Our only wish is that Toyota had been a little more generous with the sound insulation. It gets a bit noisy at freeway speeds.

This year, every version of the 2022 RAV4 gains a locking glove box with LED illumination. Starting with the XLE trim, various switches are illuminated. And the Limited trim gains an 8-way power-adjustable front passenger seat.

One of the changes for the 2022 RAV4 is the inclusion of sharper-looking headlights on all trims except for the base LE. Various versions have different grille treatments. For example, the LE, XLE and XLE Premium have a black hexagon pattern, while the Limited’s is dark gray metallic.

The Adventure and TRD Off-Road models are eligible for 2-tone color schemes. Cavalry Blue is a new paint choice offered on the TRD Off-Road.

Favorite Features:

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE:
Not everyone needs all-wheel drive, but the systems available with the RAV4 provide reassurance in rough weather as well as helping the vehicle track around corners with stability and efficiency.

JBL AUDIO SYSTEM:
The parent company that makes JBL is also behind the superb Mark Levinson systems in Lexus vehicles. JBL has its roots in producing excellent speakers. The 11-speaker/800-watt system that’s optional in the XLE Premium and TRD Off-Road, standard in the Limited, is clear and powerful.

Standard Features:
Trim levels for the 2022 RAV4 with the regular gasoline drivetrain are LE, XLE, XLE Premium, Adventure, Limited and TRD Off-Road. The LE comes with 17-inch steel wheels, LED headlights/daytime running lights/taillights, roof rails, single-zone climate control, cloth upholstery, four cup holders, and four bottle holders.

Safety features include forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, automatic high beams, and adaptive cruise control.

The infotainment system has a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration, Amazon Alexa compatibility, satellite radio, USB port, Bluetooth, advanced voice recognition, and six speakers.
