Toyota RAV4 Depreciation by Year
How fast does a Toyota RAV4 lose value?
A Toyota RAV4 keeps about 76% of its new price after three years and 65% after five years, comparing each trim with the same trim new. That is 8 points better than the typical car in our study at three years. Bought new for $42,000, the typical RAV4 would be worth about $32,000 after three years if it ages like today's RAV4s.

Where a RAV4 loses its value
The first year takes 14% of the price. After the first year a RAV4 loses about 6 points of its new price a year in this snapshot.
The 2026 RAV4 is a new generation, so one-year-old 2025s are the previous design. Part of their 14% drop is the change of generation, not just age. See how a new generation affects used prices.
Compare with how fast the typical car loses value and with the cars that hold their value best.
About the data
We compared asking prices for cars listed for sale in the U.S. on November 9, 2026, one listing per car. "New" is the median asking price of new 2026 models. For each older model year we used cars with about 12,000 miles a year for their age (for example 27,000–45,000 miles for a 2023). We compared every trim with the same trim new and averaged the trims, weighted by the number of cars, so a shift in trim mix does not look like depreciation. Typical asking prices in the tables are the median of all trims at that age.
This is a snapshot of today's prices by age, not one car followed over time. A car you buy now can lose value faster or slower, especially if a new generation arrives. Asking prices are before negotiation, taxes and fees. New cars often sell below sticker, so the real first-year loss can be smaller than shown. We left out modified cars and prices that were clearly not a full asking price.
