Notes and sources
- Fuel economy: EPA combined test-cycle figure for the configuration RAV4 (27 city, 35 highway). EPA data dated 2025-08-22, the date EPA wrote the workbook in 25data.zip.↩
- CO₂: EPA's tailpipe rating for the car driven as rated on the test cycle — 292 g/mi, or 181 g/km.↩
- Fuel cost: EPA's own annual estimate for this car is $1,750, on EPA's assumptions. At this week's price it is $1,987: 13,800 mi a year at the EPA combined figure, priced at $4.319 per gallon — the U.S. Energy Information Administration's weekly U.S. average for regular gasoline, all formulations, on 2026-09-14. Five years at that price: $9,934. Both are estimates; neither is a measured figure.↩
- Power: 203 hp is the rated figure, from EPA test-car data.↩
- Crash rating: NHTSA's overall rating for the front-wheel-drive 2025 RAV4 — frontal 4, side 5, rollover 4 stars. NHTSA data as of 2026-09-10.↩
- Recall campaigns: NHTSA's count for this nameplate (RAV4), as of 2026-09-10. Each is repaired free of charge by dealers.↩
- Complaints per 10,000 built: computed here from NHTSA's complaint count for the RAV4 nameplate (46, of which 4 describe a crash, fire, injury or death) and the 335,167 vehicles NHTSA's own early-warning production reports place on it (2026 Q1). No publisher states the rate itself.↩
- Kerb weight: the certified test vehicle (EPA certification), 3,450 lb (1,565 kg); corroborated by the EPA test weight.↩
- EPA test weight: 3,750 lb (1,701 kg) is the equivalent test weight class EPA tested this configuration at, not the kerb weight.↩
- Warranty: 3 years or 36,000 miles, from Toyota's published 2025 warranty statement, compiled into carstandings.com's warranty table.↩
- Registrations: 16,965 RAV4s of this model year on New York's roads, from the NY DMV registration file as of 2026-09-02.↩
- 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.↩
- Price: no free, resellable source publishes a price for any 2025 car sold in the United States, so none is shown for any car in this market.↩
