In Australia, Toyota RAV4 wait times bounce around like a roo on a trampoline—grade, powertrain, colour and postcode all sway the queue.
Broadly, hybrids tend to wait longer than pure petrol, and popular colours/options can add a few laps around the block.
Supply has improved since the 2022–23 crunch, but allocations still ebb and flow dealer to dealer.
Ring a few dealers for live ETAs, ask about cancelled orders or stock swaps, and keep an eye on demo/near-new listings on Tradingpost if you’re in a hurry.
Flexibility helps: be open on trim and colour, and you might be in a RAV4 sooner than your next rego renewal.
