If you felt like the RAV4 Hybrid queue in 2023 was longer than a Sunday Bunnings snag line, you weren’t wrong. Across Australia, typical wait times ranged from about 6 to 18 months, with popular grades (think Cruiser and XSE AWD) often stretching past a year. Dealers occasionally paused new orders or shuffled allocations, so postcode and variant made a big difference. Many buyers detoured to the near-new market—quick delivery, but with a cheeky premium over RRP, as seen on Tradingpost and elsewhere. Your best move: talk to multiple dealers, be flexible on colour/trim, and keep an eye on cancellations. Supply shifts fast, but patience saves dollars.
