Car changing is a big deal
This car not only has a roomy cabin, it has an economical diesel engine too. What’s more is that you can buy one used for less than £9,000 through Carwow.
My pick for today’s deal of the day is a practical family SUV that has a roomy cabin with plenty of standard equipment and a frugal diesel engine. I’m talking about the Toyota RAV4, and you can buy one used from less than £9,000 through Carwow.
Did you know you can buy a used car right here on Carwow? We’re here to help you through every step of your car-changing journey.
Buy a used Toyota RAV4 from less than £9,000*
A Toyota RAV4 (2015-2018) has a RRP range of £25,145 to £35,560, but you can find used examples through Carwow for much less. For instance, a 2014 2.0-litre diesel model with 70,000 miles on the clock is listed for £8,495. It comes with climate and cruise control, a parking camera, and 410 litres of boot space. If you’re after something newer with lower mileage, expect to pay around £14,000-£15,000 for a later model with under 30,000 miles.
Why should you consider the Toyota RAV4?
If you want a practical, no-nonsense family SUV, the Toyota RAV4 (2015-2018) is a strong pick. Larger and pricer than alternatives such as the Nissan Qashqai and Mazda CX-5, it helped define the SUV class and offers ample space.
The cabin is solid and easy to use, though the design and materials feel dated next to alternatives such as the Peugeot 5008. Still, it’s roomy and comfortable, with plenty of space in the back and a flat floor that makes long trips easier for three passengers.
Higher trims add luxuries such as leather seats and power adjustments, while the boot impresses with up to 547 litres of space. The RAV4 might not be flashy, but it’s dependable, spacious, and built to last.
Toyota RAV4 alternatives
Still not convinced? Here are some other options for you to consider:
- Lexus NX Hybrid: Electric motors give plenty of punch but it has poor towing capacity.
- Honda CR-V: Good assistance tech as standard but it’s noisy on the motorway.
- Skoda Kodiaq: Clever, spacious interior but alternatives are more fun to drive.
