  3. Fuel cost: an estimate — 13,800 mi a year at the EPA combined figure, priced at $4.319 per gallon (EIA US regular, 2026-09-14). Five years: $9,934. No publisher states this figure.↩
  4. Power: 203 hp is the rated figure, from NHTSA's CAFE market data.↩

  7. Complaints: NHTSA holds 86 for the 2022 RAV4, 7 of which describe a crash, fire, injury or death. The rate per 10,000 built is not computed: complaints no VIN places, or production no fuel code places, make the rate uncertain by more than 5%.↩
  8. Kerb weight: not published. EPA certification alone states a curb weight for this car, and another source's figure for this nameplate could not be attributed to this car.↩
  9. EPA test weight: not published. EPA values disagree.↩
  10. Warranty: 3 years or 36,000 miles, from Toyota's published 2022 warranty statement, compiled into carstandings.com's warranty table.↩

  12. This car is measured on the petrol scale: miles per gallon, the tailpipe CO₂ rating and whole-car horsepower. MPGe and charge-weighted CO₂ are electric-scale quantities and do not apply to it.↩
  13. Price: no price is published for this car. NHTSA's CAFE market data prices this market's cars by compliance configuration, and it lists none matching this one.↩
