Compact SUV · what it costs new, what it’s worth used, and who has one near you.
The 2000 Toyota Rav4 is a compact suv we track across the used market in Canada. It comes in gas (9.7 L/100 km) and hybrid (5.5 L/100 km) forms, so the main choice is fuel — the hybrid earns its premium back over enough kilometres. A 25-year-old one keeps roughly 11% of a current model's market price — what actually matters over five years of ownership.

Safety recalls
3 campaigns issued by the manufacturer
Air Bags · Frontal · Driver Side · Inflator Module
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 1998-2000 RAV4, 1998-1999 RAV4 EV and Celica and 1997-1998 Supra vehicles. These vehicles were equipped with Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators (NADI) and do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
