rav4 2022 whirlpool

Hunting 2022 RAV4 chatter (yes, the forum kind) usually boils down to thrift, wait times, and the odd infotainment grumble.

The headline act is the 2.5L hybrid sipping around 4.7–5.0 L/100 km, with the 2.0L FWD and 2.5L AWD petrols playing understudy; ride is comfy enough, cabin plastics merely fine, and the pre-2023 infotainment looks like it remembers dial‑up.

Safety kit is generous (Toyota Safety Sense, AEB, lane stuff, the whole alphabet soup), and boot space is family-holiday big without the SUV bloat.

Pricing circa 2022 sat roughly $34k–$52k+ new, while the used market often wanted $35k–$60k because Australia collectively discovered fuel prices; shop calmly and verify service history.
