Which version of Toyota RAV-4 to buy?
I am considering buying a used Toyota RAV-4 no more than four years old, which must be automatic. I cannot work out which engine size and fuel would be the most economical.

2.0i Valvemantic Multidrive S. As long as you do';t intend to tow, this is the best combination. It is actually slightly more economical and slightly lower CO2 than the diesel automatic and, of course, no DPF to worry about.

Bigger and now 5-door only. More luxurious but not as practical as previous RAV-4. Car-like road manners. Petrol and diesel automatics. Facelifted 2010.
