TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Toyota RAV4

Toyota RAV4 Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2019	Toyota improved the RAV4 Hybrid's fuel economy dramatically with the redesign. The model's EPA highway rating has surged from 30 to 38 mpg, while its city rating has jumped from 34 to 41 mpg. In suburban driving I easily achieved trip computer averages in the low 40s, with a max of 50. On a 70-mph highway I observed averages from 35 to 38 mpg. While still much less efficient than a Prius, which is lighter and lower, the RAV4 now delivers the fuel economy people expect from a hybrid. With all-wheel-drive (standard on the Hybrid), the non-hybrid RAV4 manages EPA ratings of 25 city and 33 highway. The Subaru Forester achieves similar marks, 26/33. So the new RAV4 Hybrid earns its keep, especially in city driving. A Kia Niro goes farther on a gallon of gas, but is considerably smaller than the RAV4 and isn't offered with AWD. see full Toyota RAV4 review

2015	4dr SUV 176-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The area I live in always yields the city MPG rating, or less. It is suburbia, USA and that means you hit lots of stop lights and have to get up to 45, just to stop for another stop light. Rarely is there ever any real highway driving, in which you go for 5+ miles at highway speed. So all in all, a 23-25mpg in this situation is great. At higher highway speeds, for long periods, I say 28mpg (acutal measured using miles and gallons calcs) vs. trusting the car computer. For the size and weight of the car, I'd say that is great! And I leave it in the ECO mode, to save more MPGs though there is a normal mode, and sport mode. The car has plenty of power, even in ECO mode, so don't be fooled by fancy ads, the mpg's are great! see full Toyota RAV4 review
2013	4dr SUV 176-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Fuel economy is exactly as advertised, 25mpg overall. see full Toyota RAV4 review
2012	4dr SUV 179-horsepower 2.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Fuel economy is descent, I get about 24 mpg on a good day. see full Toyota RAV4 review
2011	4dr SUV 179-horsepower 2.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	My wife and I both drive with a lead foot (80 mph average on highway or more) and this car still averaged 24 mpg the whole time under our ownership (38,000 miles) according to the computer. Real world mpg readings by myself supported that figure as well. see full Toyota RAV4 review
2010	4dr SUV 179-horsepower 2.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Good for a vehicle its size. Similar to my 4cyl Acura in actual driving. see full Toyota RAV4 review

2010	4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	For an AWD V6 SUV fuel economy is very good and only uses 1 mpg more than the 4cyl model, while providing considerably more power. see full Toyota RAV4 review
2010	4dr SUV 179-horsepower 2.5L I4 4-speed automatic AWD	suburban 24 mpg, highway 28 mpg see full Toyota RAV4 review
2009	4dr SUV 179-horsepower 2.5L I4 4-speed automatic AWD	Amazing for an SUV - First 2 weeks we had it, went on 2 trips over 200 miles each mostly highway. Got over 27 MPG. There are some 4 cyl CARS that do not get that, let alone an SUV. We are saving $50/month just on gas compared to the minivan we traded in see full Toyota RAV4 review
2008	4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	I am currently getting 27MPG when driving @ 65MPH on the highway, and am getting 22-24MPG in the city. see full Toyota RAV4 review

Toyota RAV4 Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr SUV 176-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I've only been driving in heavy traffic and urban cycle, but so far the computer calculates that the car is a complete pig - 16 MPG average with the auto temp on (so AC running). My FR-S easily handles the same in the mid-20s. Maybe less idling / crawling / jackrabbit starting and I'll get the average up. After 3 days and more "normal" driving (some highway in there), I hit low 20s (if the calculator was right - it could be 2 MPG optimistic like the one in my FR-S). see full Toyota RAV4 review
