Here's the straight read on the 2020 Toyota RAV4. This example sold for $33,995, showed 45,225 km and is rated an official 8.2 L/100km combined.

FALL SPECIAL - $31,995 This 2020 Toyota RAV4 in Maroon combines Toyota's legendary reliability with a long list of modern conveniences, all in a low-mileage 45,225km package. Front-wheel drive, a fuel-efficient 2.5L engine, and Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 make this a smart, practical choice for daily driving around London and beyond. With heated seats, dual-zone climate control, and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, it's ready for Ontario winters and everyday commutes alike.

What stood out about this one

I've sold a lot of RAV4s over the years, and this 2020 model in Maroon is exactly the kind of vehicle I like having on our lot at South West Auto Group. It's got low kilometres, a clean and practical interior, and all the safety tech that makes me comfortable recommending it to families here in London.

What stands out to me with this one is how well it's been kept up — the heated seats and dual-zone climate are going to be appreciated the moment winter hits, and the Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 suite gives real peace of mind on the 401 or around town. I always tell people that a RAV4 is one of those vehicles you buy and just stop thinking about, because it simply does its job.

If you're looking for a dependable SUV that won't give you any surprises, come see this one in person. My team and I are happy to answer any questions and get you behind the wheel for a test drive.

Highlights

The 2020 Toyota RAV4 sits at the top of the compact SUV segment for good reason — it blends practicality, safety, and efficiency in a package that just works. This generation of RAV4 brought a bolder, more rugged design along with Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 as standard equipment, giving drivers advanced safety technology that was ahead of its time for the class. With adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist, this RAV4 makes highway driving between London, Toronto, or Windsor noticeably less stressful. This particular RAV4 is perfect for a young family, a first-time SUV buyer, or anyone who wants Toyota's reputation for dependability without stretching their budget. The 2.5L four-cylinder engine delivers a confident balance of power and fuel economy, while the front-wheel drive layout keeps things efficient for daily driving and typical Ontario road conditions. Inside, dual-zone climate control and heated front seats mean comfort doesn't take a back seat to practicality, and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto keep you connected without any fuss. The cargo space and versatile interior remain one of the RAV4's biggest strengths, making it easy to handle everything from grocery runs to weekend getaways. For Ontario buyers, this RAV4 checks every box: proven reliability, strong resale value, and a manageable price point at $33,995 for a vehicle with only 45,225km on the odometer. It's a smart buy for anyone who wants a well-equipped, safety-forward SUV without the premium price tag of a brand new model.

South West's Take: “I'd put my own family in this RAV4 without hesitation — it's got the safety tech, the comfort features, and the reliability that Toyota is known for. If you want an SUV that's going to be low-maintenance and easy to live with for years to come, this is a great one to consider. Come see us at South West Auto Group and let's get you in for a test drive.”
