Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 RAV4.
The 2025 Toyota RAV4 pairs an eight-speed automatic transmission with EPA fuel-economy ratings of 27 mpg city, 35 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined. Reliability data logged for the model year show 70 owner complaints, with the largest share filed under the catch-all “Unknown Or Other” designation, plus three recalls. Set against the nameplate’s 1994–2025 history—a span in which owner complaints peaked at 1,002 for the 2007 model and hit a low of one for 1995—that 2025 tally places this model year well below its historical high-water mark, indicating a comparatively calm entry in the RAV4’s reliability record.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2025 Toyota RAV4 sits at the tail end of the fifth generation, which began in 2019. Complaint volume has fallen sharply since the 2019–2020 peak (868 and 624 complaints, respectively) to just 70 in 2025, while recalls have stabilized at three per year for the past three model years. The data does not specify root causes for the top complaint categories—“Unknown or Other,” electrical system, tires, and service brakes—so no systemic flaw can be inferred. Crash-related complaints in 2025 total seven, and there are zero fire reports, suggesting no emergent safety trend. Within the generation’s arc, 2025 appears to be a low-complaint, post-refresh year with recall activity on par with recent predecessors. This pattern implies Toyota has largely resolved earlier issues, making the 2025 RAV4 a favorable used purchase.
