This Bestest-approved 2023 Toyota RAV4 XLE Premium for sale in Anaheim has 43,391 miles, and likely has about 2 years or 17,000 miles left on its original powertrain warranty.
This XLE Premium has front-wheel drive and the 203-hp four-cylinder, a pairing the EPA rates at 30 mpg combined.
Listing history suggests this RAV4 was first sold in July 2023, so Toyota's 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty is probably done, but the 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, covering the engine and transmission, should run until around July 2028 or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, and it transfers to you in full. When you check availability, we'll also email you a link to the free Carfax vehicle history report (when available), which includes the exact in-service date and how much warranty is left.
Questions shoppers ask about this RAV4
Is the RAV4 Hybrid worth it?
A used 2024 RAV4 Hybrid lists for about $4,100 more than a gas 2024 RAV4 in Orange County. The EPA rates an all-wheel-drive RAV4 Hybrid at 37 mpg combined against this one's 30, so at 1,000 miles a month the hybrid saves about $40 a month in gas, and you're likely to get a big chunk of that $4,100 back when you sell, because used hybrids hold their value better than their gas twins. Most buyers recoup the extra cost well inside five years. The RAV4 Hybrid is also the quicker RAV4.
Do I need all-wheel drive in Orange County?
Front-wheel drive is all most Orange County drivers need. But all-wheel drive adds only about $900 to a used RAV4's price in Orange County, and costs about 1 to 2 mpg. AWD is at its best on slick roads, but even in Orange County it can deliver more confident acceleration pulling into traffic. So if a car has the color, trim and miles you want, don't let either answer stop you. If you head to Big Bear or Mammoth in winter, carry chains either way.
Why doesn't Bestest list the RAV4 LE?
Bestest recommends the RAV4, just not the gas LE. The LE is the base trim, with steel wheels and covers instead of alloys, and it's the trim rental fleets buy: more than half the used 2024 RAV4 LEs Bestest checked were never listed new at a dealer, and most of those reached Orange County dealers with 30,000 to 60,000 miles. It isn't a bad car, but every other RAV4 trim is a better buy, and Bestest lists them all.
