I’m looking to buy a Rav4 and wanted to ask—what’s the best recent year? Any advice would help!
Honestly, there’s not really a bad year for the Rav4. If you’re asking about recent years, the 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020 models are all great. Do you want me to go further back?

You might want to leave out 2022 and 2023. Those had issues with build quality and supply chain problems during COVID. I’ve even heard the Japan-made PHEVs had their share of troubles.

Do you know if people with the 2022 and 2023 models are having big problems, or is it mostly stuff Toyota covers with recalls and warranties? They’re usually good about helping their customers.
If you’re thinking about a hybrid, go for 2024 or newer. They fixed the cable corrosion issue in those models.
2025 is the one I’d go for.
