Jack Quick drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Efficient hybrid powertrain
- Plenty of interior space
- Cheap servicing
Misses
- Droning petrol engine
- Slow, beeping power tailgate
- Orange highlights aren't for everyone
Colours Available
The Toyota RAV4 is available in nine different colours, however not all are available across all variants. The following are available on the Cruiser and GXL:
- Glacier White
- Crystal Pearl
- Silver Sky
- Graphite
- Atomic Rush (red)
- Eclipse Black
- Mineral Blue
- Saturn Blue
The GX misses out on Crystal Pearl. The XSE missed out on Crystal Pearl, Atomic Rush, Eclipse lack and Saturn Blue.
The top-spec Toyota RAV4 Edge misses out on the two white colours and Saturn Blue but it does get its own unique Jungle Khaki colour.
Premium paint is a $675 option.
A full list of colours for the 2022 range has yet to be announced.

2025 Toyota RAV4 review
Toyota now only sells hybrid versions of the hot-selling RAV4 SUV, and it remains a benchmark for the segment.
