Here are the best years of the best-selling crossover SUV in the world. America has a huge market for crossovers and SUVs. In 2022, crossovers made up over 45% of the 13.75 million passenger vehicles sold in the country. The Toyota RAV4 – with over 333,000 units sold in the same year – was America's top-selling SUV.

The Toyota RAV4's popularity isn't limited to US shores. With 868,309 units sold globally in 2022, the Toyota RAV4 claimed the crown of the best-selling SUV in the world for the 4th consecutive year. It was also the 2nd-best-selling passenger car on the planet, next only to another Toyota nameplate – the Corolla.

Launched in North America in 1996, the Toyota RAV4 (Recreational Active Vehicle with 4WD) is considered as the world's first compact crossover SUV. Although the 1st-generation RAV4 was a bit too small for Americans, the 2nd and succeeding generations became larger and more appropriate for the US population. Combining car-like comfort with the ride height and some of the utility of a small pickup truck, the RAV4 steadily gained popularity through the decades. The Toyota badge's reputation for quality, durability, and reliability didn't hurt the RAV4's ascent in the automotive industry.

Not all Toyota RAV4s, however, share the same levels of reliability. After all, every change in design can affect the vehicle's overall reliability. Thus, some generations or model years are often more reliable than others.
