Every vehicle depreciates, but not at the same rate. Here's how the Toyota RAV4 holds its value over five years.

Americans love the Toyota RAV4. Last year, only the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado outsold it, and its status at the top of the charts is well-deserved. After all, this was the world’s first crossover SUV, debuting in Japan in 1994 and stateside two years later.

We see how the first hybrid Forester's fuel economy, interior space, and price stack up against two segment stalwarts.

The RAV4 Hybrid is known to depreciate slowly, leading to the question, "Should I buy a new or used one?" The answer may surprise you.

Both hybrid SUVs provide comfortable and supportive seats, but the Tucson Hybrid’s are more plush. Both hybrid SUVs boast comfortable ride quality; however, the Hyundai has an edge, with its smoother ride giving it the advantage. The Tucson Hybrid also has a quieter hybrid powertrain. The RAV4 Hybrid tends to drone when accelerating.
