The 2020 Toyota RAV4 is available in 11 different variants with pricing ranging from $32,695 before on-road costs for the GX to $48,915 before on-roads for the 2.5-litre Edge AWD.
Along with its tougher new look, the latest RAV4 packs more interior technology than its predecessor, along with an expanded suite of driver assists. Hybrid power is now available for a small premium over the regular petrol model, and has been more popular than even Toyota expected.
The RAV4 was the best-selling car in Australia in July 2020, and currently dominates the mid-sized SUV segment.
Update, 24/08/2020 4:10pm – Toyota has today updated pricing for the RAV4, and tweaked the car’s standard equipment levels. We have updated our coverage to reflect the new prices and equipment changes.

Engines
The 2020 Toyota RAV4 range has two petrol options: a 2.0-litre four-cylinder pumping out 127kW and 203Nm, and a 2.5-litre engine with 152kW and 243Nm.
The 2.0-litre is available with a six-speed manual or continuously variable transmission (CVT) while the 2.5-litre is only fitted with an eight-speed automatic.
There are two hybrid variants: a front-wheel drive model with a total power output of 160kW, and an all-wheel drive (AWD) version with 163kW.
Both hybrid models use a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine in conjunction with their electric motors.
The hybrid all-wheel drive system features an electric motor on the rear axle, essentially allowing for on-demand traction down back without damaging fuel economy.
