Surprise, prices for SUVs, trucks, and cars continue to increase. The 2025 Toyota RAV4 is the best-selling SUV in America and might be taking advantage of its increasing popularity. Its starting price is over the $30,000 mark. 

How much does the 2025 Toyota RAV4 cost? 

The 2025 Toyota RAV4 starts at $30,245, but this price does include the $1,395 destination fee. It doesn’t include dealership markups, paperwork fees, or extra taxes. 

Also, this is for the entry-level LE trim. On the other end of the spectrum, the top-spec Limited trim increases the starting price to $38,550. 

In 2024, the RAV4 has a starting price of $30,025, including the $1,350 destination fee. So, prices have only increased by about $220. 

The entry-level 2025 RAV4 Hybrid LE model starts at $33,295, including the destination fee. Upgrading to the top-spec Limited Hybrid trim increases the starting price to $41,600. In 2024, the RAV4 Hybrid started at $33,075. So it’s only up by about $220. 

Anyways, the RAV4 may seem dated compared to rivals. It was last redesigned back in 2019 and received a small refresh with mainly infotainment upgrades in 2023.

For 2025, the RAV4 dropped the off-roading oriented TRD Off-Road and Adventure trims from the lineup. Critics will call this a loss, as the highly praised upgraded suspension system and advanced AWD system are also gone. 

But drivers don’t care about its age. In 2023, the RAV4 was the best-selling car in America. It moved 434,934 models. Only the Ram 1500, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and Ford F-150 outsold it. 

Early in 2024, the RAV4 continued to have success. It’s currently the third best-selling vehicle and the best-selling SUV with 350,331 sales. It passed the Ram 1500 which had 268,666 268,666 sales. 

The F-150 is still in first place with 528,028 units sold so far. There’s still plenty of time for drivers to buy SUVs and trucks in 2024. Based on its success, the 2025 Toyota RAV4 probably won’t slow down.
