Most of the loss lands early: the Toyota RAV4 Prime sheds about 0% of its original MSRP in year one alone. From roughly $43,690 it falls to around $41,068 by year five — a five-year loss near $2,622, about $1.44 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Toyota RAV4 Prime bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
