The different types of affordable RAV4 engines

Toyota has designed a great many different kinds of engines. Here are some of those that have been used in the RAV4 throughout its history:

  • S Series Engines - These are straight-four gasoline engines with displacements ranging from 1.8 to 2.2 liters. The RAV4 at one time used a 2.0-liter version of this engine.
  • ZZ Series Engines - These are straight-four gasoline engines that come in 1.4- and 1.8-liter versions. The RAV4 at one time used a 1.8-liter ZZ Series engine
  • AZ Series Engines - These are inline-four DOHC engines with an aluminum engine block and cast iron cylinder liners. At various times, the RAV4 used 2.0- and 2.4-liter versions of this engine.
  • GR Series Engines - These are V6 engines. From 2005 to 2012, the Toyota RAV4 Vanguard used a 3.5-liter version of this engine.
  • Diesel Engines - The two main Toyota diesel engine families used by the RAV4 are the CD Series and the AD Series. The CD diesel engine was a 2.0-liter turbo engine that is only used in older diesel RAV4s, having been almost completely replaced by AD engines. AD Series diesel engines came in 2.0- and 2.2-liter versions, and the RAV4 used the 2.2-liter version.
Which engines do the various generations of the RAV4 use?

From the time of its launch, the RAV4 has gone through five different production generations. These included some significant changes to the car's engine. Here are the engines used by the various generations of RAV4s:

  • First Generation (XA10), 1994-2003 - All RAV4s from this generation used the 2.0-liter Series engine.
  • Second Generation (XA20), 2000-2005 - Gasoline-powered RAV4s from this generation used either a 1.8-liter ZZ engine, a 2.0-liter AZ engine, or a 2.4-liter AZ engine. Diesel versions used a 2.0-liter CD engine.
  • Third Generation (XA30), 2005-2016 - Gasoline powered RAV4s used either AZ, ZR, AR, or GR engines with displacements ranging from 2.0 to 3.5 liters. Diesel-powered RAV4s from this generation run on a 2.2-liter AD engine.
  • Fourth Generation (XA40), 2012-2018 - 2.0- and 2.5-liter ZR and AR engines dominated this generation.
  • Fifth Generation (XA50), 2018-Present - Every RAV4 in this generation uses either a 2.0- or 2.5-liter AR engine.
Buying a used Toyota RAV4 engine on eBay

Before you dive into the eBay listings in search of a RAV4 engine that suits your needs, here are a few things to keep in mind that are important to make a wise shopping decision:

  • Lower-mileage engines will be more expensive than higher-mileage engines since engines with more miles on them have been through greater wear and are more likely to require maintenance.
  • Larger-displacement engines will cost more than lower-displacement ones.
  • Engines meant to fit older model-year RAV4s will usually be less expensive than those meant for newer models.
  • In general, gasoline engines for some given RAV4 model year will be less expensive than diesel engines for that same model year, all else being equal.
  • Some of the RAV4 engines that you encounter in the eBay listings will be reconditioned. Because many of the parts in such engines have been replaced, they will almost always be more expensive than non-reconditioned engines from the same model year or with the same amount of mileage.
