Toyota RAV4 keeps an estimated 77% of its recent market value after 5 years — #24 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Toyota RAV4 retains an estimated 77% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #24 of 530 cars we track. That is 20 points above the 58% five-year average for SUV in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
The loss does not land all at once here: the Toyota RAV4 sheds about 5% in year one and keeps going at much the same rate. From roughly $31,425 it falls to around $24,322 by year five — a five-year loss near $7,103, about $3.89 a day in depreciation.
There is no single sweet spot on the Toyota RAV4: it gives up a similar share of its value every year rather than falling off a cliff, so how long you keep it matters more than what age you buy it at. Explore the full year-by-year curve, trims, and true cost of ownership in the Model Lab above.
