Last month we explored the best ways to get into an all-new Toyota Corolla, and this month we shift our focus to Australia\u2019s best-selling SUV &#8211; the Toyota RAV4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wait times for this popular vehicle are still estimated to extend up to 24 months for hybrid models, and 12 months for petrol variants &#8211; however this comes as no surprise when we consider that Toyota RAV4 Hybrid sales have increased by 39% since 2019<sup>1<\/sup>. Toyota now claims an impressive 92% of the market when it comes to hybrid sales.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Debuting in 1994, the Toyota RAV4 is considered the first ever compact crossover SUV, pioneering a new market segment that has become integral to the automotive market as we know it today &#8211; especially in a country like Australia. At home in the city and off-road (assuming you opt for the AWD), the Toyota RAV4 is the perfect vehicle for young and old alike. We explore why we love the Toyota RAV4, how much it will cost you to buy, finance or subscribe to, as well as how you can get into one much sooner than you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_80 ez-toc-wrap-left counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">On this page:<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/carbar.com.au\/blog\/toyota-rav4-to-buy-lease-or-subscribe\/#Reasons_to_drive_a_Toyota_RAV4\" >Reasons to drive a Toyota RAV4<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/carbar.com.au\/blog\/toyota-rav4-to-buy-lease-or-subscribe\/#How_Much_Does_It_Cost_to_Buy_a_Toyota_RAV4\" >How Much Does It Cost to Buy a Toyota RAV4?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/carbar.com.au\/blog\/toyota-rav4-to-buy-lease-or-subscribe\/#How_Much_Does_It_Cost_to_Finance_a_Toyota_RAV4\" >How Much Does It Cost to Finance a Toyota RAV4?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/carbar.com.au\/blog\/toyota-rav4-to-buy-lease-or-subscribe\/#How_Much_Does_It_Cost_to_Subscribe_to_a_Toyota_RAV4\" >How Much Does It Cost to Subscribe to a Toyota RAV4?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reasons_to_drive_a_Toyota_RAV4\"><\/span><strong>Reasons to drive a Toyota RAV4<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Efficient, practical, quick and comfortable, the 2023 Toyota RAV4 is a reliable partner for any trip, whether you\u2019re zipping around the city or road tripping up the coast. Both petrol and hybrid models bring impressive fuel efficiency to the compact SUV segment and are packed with next-generation infotainment and safety features. Available in four dynamic drivetrain variants in either hybrid electric or petrol, from the base model GX with a 2.0L Dynamic Force direct injection petrol engine or 2.5L Toyota Hybrid Electric system, both with CVT, through to the top-of-the-range Edge variant, available with a 2.5L Dynamic Force direct injection petrol engine or 2.5L Toyota Hybrid Electric system with auto CVT. With so many variants on offer, there\u2019s a RAV4 for every budget and lifestyle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Does_It_Cost_to_Buy_a_Toyota_RAV4\"><\/span><strong>How Much Does It Cost to Buy a Toyota <strong>RAV4<\/strong>?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting into a new Toyota RAV4 can be tricky. If you\u2019re willing to wait up to two years for your new wheels (direct from the dealer), you\u2019ll be up for anywhere between $42,040 (plus on road costs) for the base model Toyota RAV4 GX 2WD 2.0L Petrol, right up to $61,470 (plus on road costs) for the top-of-the-range Toyota RAV4 Edge AWD 2.5L Hybrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Used models are more readily available, however there can be some risk involved. Be sure to do your research, know the car\u2019s history, get a full mechanical check and take the car for a test drive if you\u2019re keen to get into a Toyota RAV4 before summer is over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Does_It_Cost_to_Finance_a_Toyota_RAV4\"><\/span><strong>How Much Does It Cost to Finance a Toyota <strong>RAV4<\/strong>?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of us prefer to lease or finance a vehicle rather than buying outright. This can assist with breaking down the overall cost that buying a new vehicle can present. Be sure to assess your options fully, as it\u2019s all about making the right choice for you, right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With finance, you can expect to pay the price of the vehicle plus interest (usually ranging between 6% and 20%, depending on your individual circumstances). This means that the top-of-the-range Toyota RAV4 Edge AWD Hybrid priced at $61,470 today, financed over 5 years at 9.5% interest (with no \u2018balloon\u2019 or residual payment), will set you back approximately $297 a week (plus fees), or $77,276 over the course of your loan (ex. government fees and charges). See how it can add up?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With most banks and lending institutions, you\u2019ll also need to consider added monthly, lender, broker and \u2018break\u2019 fees if you\u2019re wanting to pay off your loan early. These can add up to thousands of dollars extra, depending on your lender and finance term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why when it comes to finance, it\u2019s a great idea to consider all your options. Online car loan comparison platforms like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carbar.com.au\/finance-online\">CarClarity<\/a> can help you find the finance arrangement that works best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just remember \u2013 when financing or buying a car outright, you\u2019ll need to factor in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carbar.com.au\/blog\/to-lease-or-to-finance-which-is-right-for-you\/\">additional running costs<\/a> including insurance, registration, depreciation, servicing and other maintenance costs. Currently, the running costs of a Toyota RAV4 will come in around $180 per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another alternative is a vehicle lease. You won\u2019t own the car, but the cost of use, maintenance, insurance and registration is rolled into one easy regular payment, and you\u2019ll need less money up front to get into a new vehicle. There are many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carbar.com.au\/blog\/to-lease-or-to-finance-which-is-right-for-you\/\">pros and cons to both leasing and finance<\/a>, so take some time to consider whether these options are right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Does_It_Cost_to_Subscribe_to_a_Toyota_RAV4\"><\/span><strong>How Much Does It Cost to Subscribe to a Toyota <strong>RAV4<\/strong>?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve covered the usual options, but we have some good news &#8211; there\u2019s another. Our carbar car subscription service offers the best of both worlds. Similar to a lease, you can get into a new fully-maintained and comprehensively insured Toyota RAV4 for a simple weekly subscription cost. This is one of the most flexible and easiest ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carbar.com.au\/cars\/subscribe\/toyota\/rav4\">get into a Toyota RAV4 today<\/a> &#8211; from as little as $230 per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are minimum costs, but no minimum terms &#8211; unlike a lease. Just give us two weeks\u2019 notice and we can swap your car or stop your subscription at any time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you love your subscription Toyota RAV4 and want to own it, you can also now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carbar.com.au\/blog\/subscribe-or-buy-the-genius-of-and\/\">purchase your beloved subscription car<\/a> when it works for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike any other car retailers in Australia, carbar customers can retain weekly payments and seamlessly switch their carbar subscription to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carbar.com.au\/car-finance\">loan arrangement<\/a> thanks to our latest partnership with car loan comparison platform, CarClarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part? You don\u2019t even need to decide straight away. A car is a big purchase, so we allow our subscribers to switch to finance once they\u2019re ready. Taking some time to try before you buy could save you a lot of money, time and hassle in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re adding new cars to our fleet every week, with a number of vehicles in the Toyota RAV4 range to choose from (and hundreds more) \u2013 whether you choose to subscribe, finance <em>or <\/em>buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The choice is always yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carbar.com.au\/cars\/subscribe\">Browse our latest selection of cars today<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>https:\/\/www.savvy.com.au\/toyota-rav4-hybrid-sales-surge-by-39-during-pandemic-eclipsing-petrol-variant-sales\/<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s now 2023, however the wait times for Toyota\u2019s popular lineup of passenger vehicles, SUVs and utility vehicles show no sign of growing shorter.
