The compact SUV globally sold 11.87 lakh units in 2024, while it beat the Tesla Model Y by nearly 2,000 units. The electric Model Y sold 11.85 lakh units globally, but lost the top-seller tag by a small margin. Mind you, the data includes the pre-facelift RAV4, as the Japanese carmaker has recently launched the new-gen RAV4 Hybrid internationally. Moreover, out of the top 5 best-selling cars worldwide, 3 are Toyota models: RAV4/Wildlander, Corolla Cross/Fortlander, and Corolla sedan/Levin sedan. The RAV4 was also declared the top-selling car in the American market for 2024, as it beat the Ford F-150 in cumulative sales. The primary reason behind the popularity of the RAV4 is its spacious cabin, reliable and durable engine, and good fuel economy, which is loved by family-centric and utility-centric buyers worldwide. The new-gen RAV4 was recently introduced, as it now offers an evolved design, improved interiors with more features, and a Hybrid engine, which will offer more fuel efficiency and a smooth driving experience. Our verdict While the RAV4 remains one of the most popular cars worldwide, Toyota has already made up its mind not to bring its international models to India due to the high taxes and low demand for premium cars.
