STORY CONTINUES: 2022 RAV4 pricing and specs

Toyota Australia has announced changes to the 2022 RAV4 line-up, gaining a new variant which will be available only as a hybrid.

The RAV4 XSE grade slots between the existing GXL and Cruiser, on sale from $42,825 before on-road costs as a front-wheel-drive – while the all-wheel-drive incurs a $3000 premium, taking it up to $45,825.

With the hybrid setup now also available in the range-topping Edge, Toyota has given all electrified RAV4s a minor facelift – with new projector LED headlamps featuring three clear segments, as well as LED fog lamps in the lower front bumper as standard.

Engine, drivetrain and fuel economy

Powertrains will remain the same as in the current RAV4 line-up, with a choice of two petrol engines available – a 2.0-litre unit making 127kW/203Nm and sending power to the front wheels through a CVT (GX, GXL, Cruiser) or a 2.5-litre 152kW/243Nm engine mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox, only available in Edge all-wheel-drive guise.

Hybrid options remain as either a front-wheel-drive 160kW/221Nm or an all-wheel-drive 163kW configuration, with the former available in all variants bar the Edge – as the range-topper can only be purchased in all-wheel-drive spec.

Toyota has dropped the option of a manual gearbox for the GX, meaning only two-pedal RAV4s are available to order.

While fuel economy figures weren't supplied for the updated models, not much is expected to change from the existing consumption numbers, despite all petrol grades now gaining stop-start technology. These are:

Availability

The updated 2022 Toyota RAV4 is expected to arrive in Australia during the first quarter of next year.
