This model debuted in Japan in November 2005 and was manufactured there until May 2016. For North American markets, production was halted four years earlier, as the Canadian-assembled fourth generation replaced it.
In the U.S., it was sold with two engine options: a 3.5-liter V6 and a 2.4-liter inline-four; the latter was replaced by a 2.5-liter 2AR-FE in 2009, when the model received a facelift.
Nowadays, used third-generation RAV4s are an excellent choice for those looking for a very well-built and reliable crossover SUV they can buy for less than $10,000.
