10 Toyota Hybrid SUVs You Should Buy Used

Most car buyers know the value of a good used car, and they know that a used Toyota is among the best options on the market. The Toyota hybrids, in particular, are much sought-after. They have the build quality and reliability that have become the hallmarks of Toyota, and Toyota hybrids retain their value even better than their ICE counterparts.

So when compiling a list of 10 Toyota hybrids worth buying used, the normal order of worst to best or best to worst does not apply. The reason is that taking an ICE vehicle and adding the parts to make it a hybrid invariably leads to a better car. We buy the kind of car we want, so there is no better or worse aspect to this list. Toyota makes excellent hybrids in almost all vehicle classes, so this list is just an overview of which hybrids Toyota offers in which kind of vehicle.

In order to give you the most up-to-date and accurate information possible, the data used to compile this article was sourced from various manufacturer websites and other authoritative sources, including Toyota USA, Edmunds, and J.D. Power. The prices are rounded to the nearest hundred. The models are listed in no particular order.

1

Toyota RAV4 Hybrid (2019-Present)

Average Used Price: $25,000 – $38,000

The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is the perfect example of what Toyota did to dominate the hybrid market. With the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, the company took a bestselling ICE model and gave it a hybrid drive, thereby adding much-improved fuel efficiency to an SUV that was already the yardstick for practicality and reliability. It is a comfortable and roomy mid-size SUV, perfect for the city and the weekend away.

Specifications

This RAV4 is the ideal Toytota Hybrid to buy second-hand because it will give you long-term savings while maintaining its good resale value.

2

Toyota Highlander Hybrid (2017-Present)

Average Used Price: $28,000 – $45,000

The Toyota Highlander Hybrid offers a great balance between size, space, performance, and fuel economy. The Toyota Highlander Hybrid is not the biggest three-row SUV on the market, but it is at the top of the list for fuel efficiency. It has a comfortable ride, plenty of great features, and a lot of optional technology. This is one of the best SUVs in its class. The hybrid option is not significantly more expensive than the ICE models, and the fuel savings should recoup the price difference in a reasonably short time.

Specifications

The Highlander Hybrid is ideal for families who need extra space as well as the ability to go off the tarmac or tow a boat for a holiday.

3

Toyota Venza Hybrid (2021-Present)

Average Used Price: $29,000 – $40,000

The Toyota Venza is a luxury SUV geared more for the mall than the great outdoors. Now in its second generation, the Venza has sharp and sporty looks, a very well-appointed interior, and delivers great fuel economy, especially in the city. It has aggressive and upmarket styling, almost reminiscent of Lexus SUVs. The cabin is well insulated to keep out road noise, while the suspension is well-balanced, giving the Venza a firm, but comfortable ride.

Specifications

The previous generation Venza was discontinued before hybrids became so popular, and the current Venza fills a niche in Toyota’s lineup. Mechanically similar to the RAV4 hybrid, but with sleeker looks and performance and handling tailored for urban driving, this Venza is an excellent Toyota to snap up used since the depreciation has been dealt with by the previous owner.

Toyota RAV4 Hybrid (2016-2018)

Average Used Price: $18,000 – $27,000

Toyota has been a leader in automotive innovation for a very long time. When it created the first RAV4 in the mid-90s, it was an immediate success, an early precursor of the compact crossover that came to dominate the motoring landscape in the decades that followed. Toyota also created the first hybrid not long after that, but it took until 2016 for the Japanese giant to make the magic by giving the RAV4 a hybrid drive.

Specifications

Although this first generation of the Toyota RAV4 hybrid does show its age in terms of less power and inferior fuel consumption, Toyota’s legendary reliability and the now-demonstrable longevity of the hybrid powertrain make the previous gen RAV4 hybrid a compelling value-for-money deal.

5

Toyota Sequoia Hybrid (2023-Present)

Average Used Price: $55,000 – $75,000

The Toyota Sequoia Hybrid is the third generation of this uncompromising off-road-focused SUV. Its sturdy body-on-truck chassis build, solid rear axle, and massive power can take you anywhere in relative comfort, and you can tow almost anything you want to take along. This is a big, serious vehicle and comes with an appropriate price tag.

Specifications

A used Sequoia hybrid, while never cheap, makes a lot of sense to buy used because of the depreciation benefit. The Sequoia is a full-size hybrid SUV with real towing power, and full off-road capability. Its fuel consumption is impressive for a vehicle like this, and the Sequoia Hybrid is a vehicle you would probably keep for a decade or more.

6

Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid (2024-Present)

Average Used Price: $40,000 – $60,000

The Toyota Grand Highlander is essentially the Highlander, with the same engine, and more or less the same power, but roomier inside, with more comfortable third row seating, and more cargo space. If the Highlander is ideal for a large family, the Grand Highlander is the thing for a similar family with more stuff to take along. As a very recently launched vehicle, a used Grand Highlander hybrid will still be quite new, and the buyer will not be able to get the full value of price depreciation yet.

Specifications

The Toyota Grand Highlander will at most have a year’s price depreciation, but for that price, you will still get a significant saving on the new retail ticket, while having most of the ICE and hybrid warranties still in play.

7

Toyota Sienna Hybrid (2021-Present)

Average Used Price: $32,000 – $48,000

The Toyota Sienna Hybrid was launched as a new generation, hybrid-only minivan. It is still the comfortable people carrier of old, but now with a much more frugal hybrid, more or less the same as found in the smaller RAV4. Minivans were never meant for drag racing or rough off-road travel, and the Sienna does not pretend to do this either. What it does exceptionally well is carry a large group of people and their luggage in complete comfort, especially on longer road trips.

Specifications

The Toyota Sienna Hybrid is the ideal hybrid minivan to buy used. The buyer will be able to find one around the three-year depreciation sweet spot, where the price/warranty equation is at the ideal point.

8

Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid (2023-Present)

Average Used Price: $27,000 – $34,000

The Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid is another example where a popular model was turned into a crossover, and the crossover then improved even further by giving it the benefits of hybrid fuel consumption. The Toyota Corolla has been a compact mainstay for decades, and the Cross proved very popular among the majority of drivers who liked the small SUV offering. This Toyota is a great buy used for younger drivers or those with smaller families. Its fuel efficiency is much greater than the standard Corolla Cross, and this makes it ideal for commuting or the school run, while the generous cargo space is great for shorter getaways.

Specifications

Since the Corolla Cross hybrid was launched in 2022 as the 2023 year model, the savvy buyer should be able to pick up low mileage, great-condition three-year-old at a fair price. The Corolla Cross is one of those rare vehicles where reviewers find it hard to pinpoint any negatives.

9

Toyota Land Cruiser Hybrid (2024-Present)

Average Used Price: $58,000 – $70,000

The Toyota Land Cruiser Hybrid is the premier large overland vehicle, a title its ICE lineage has held for years. As a 2024-launched generation, the new Land Cruiser will not be cheap, but there should be some cut off the new price. Although it has had a significant upgrade with the new generation, it is still the superbly functional SUV it has always been. The Land Cruiser hybrid is the kind of vehicle that can be driven for decades, and you will still find excellent cruisers from the ’70s going strong.

Specifications

The Toyota Land Cruiser is a large hybrid vehicle featuring an “i-FORCE MAX” hybrid powertrain. It is a hybrid off-roader, bringing the off-road credentials with the hybrid benefits.

10

Toyota Camry (2018-2024)

Average Used Price: $20,000 – $34,000

The Toyota Camry Hybrid was an optional model in the 8th generation from 2018 to 2024, when the latest generation was launched as a hybrid only. A three to five-year-old Camry Hybrid is an excellent buy, because it has very much the same hybrid technology and performance as the latest models, but comes as good value for money. It is a roomy sedan that comes with decent power numbers and loads of safety features and driver aids.

Specifications

The Toyota Camry is the bestselling car in the U.S., proving that the sedan still has a place on the motoring menu. The fact that the

latest generation is an all-hybrid
show the success of this drive, and coupled with Toyota’s excellent reputation, make a used hybrid and a great car to own and will keep its price better than most.
