The 3.5L 6-cyl RAV4: common questions

Which RAV4 years have the 3.5L 6-cyl?

2006–2012, without a break — 7 model years in our VIN decode, across 87 factory configurations and 52,082 VINs.

What does a 3.5L 6-cyl RAV4 cost?

$9,920 is the typical asking price across the 478 cars with this engine on sale today. The year-by-year ladder above splits that by model year — the spread between the oldest and newest year is far wider than the spread between engines.

What is the engine code, and does it matter?

2GR-FE — the code the VIN decodes to on the configurations on this page. It matters when you order parts or read a service history: the same displacement badge on another model can be a different code with different outputs.
