STORY CONTINUES: 2022 RAV4 pricing and specs
Key Points
- RAV4 goes through updates ahead of 2022
- New XSE variant joins the line-up as a hybrid only
- All grades now available with hybrid drivetrain
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.

The freshly introduced variant builds on the GXL, offering a host of small changes to differentiate it from the lower grade, including:
| Black accents on the front and rear bumpers, grille, fog light surrounds, fenders, mirrors and door mouldings |
| Black roof |

| Five-V spoke 18-inch wheels in dark silver |
| Digital rearview mirror |
| Three-stage front seat heating and ventilation |

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:
| RAV4 2WD 2.0 CVT | 6.5L/100km |
| RAV4 AWD 2.5 8AT | 7.5L/100km |
| RAV4 2WD Hybrid CVT | 4.7/100km |
| RAV4 AWD Hybrid CVT | 4.8L/100km. |

Warranty and servicing
As with all of Toyota's range, the 2022 RAV4 is covered by a five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty, while an extra two years of engine and driveline coverage is offered if the service schedule is adhered to.
In addition to this, Toyota offers capped-price servicing for five years/75,000 kilometres (up to the first five services) for new RAV4 owners, pricing each 12 month/15,000 kilometre service at $230.
Availability
The updated 2022 Toyota RAV4 is expected to arrive in Australia during the first quarter of next year.
