Is this unusual for this model?
| Compared with | What it says |
|---|---|
| Every car in the data | 3.7% of tests record it — this model is 2.9× that share |
| The 326 models compared | 19 of 326, highest first |
| The model's own record | 109,644 tests · every year of the Rav-4 → |
A share of tests is not a probability for your car: it counts every Toyota Rav-4 tested, whatever its mileage, service history and use. The like-for-like comparison on the model page is the fairer number.
