Toyota car and SUV range explained

Toyota's range of cars and SUVs might be the largest of any brand.

The Japanese giant builds an almost uncountable number of different models in nearly every corner of the world. So, to save everyone a headache, let's just take a look at Toyotas sold in the UK market.

We'll walk you through every new and nearly new model in the brand's lineup, helping you choose the best one for you. Once you've found your ideal car, find out how much you could save by shopping used Toyotas at Motorpoint.

Toyota SUV range explained

Toyota Aygo X

Toyota Aygo X in grey

It'd be easy to dismiss the Toyota Aygo X as 'just an Aygo made up to look like an SUV'. In reality, the Aygo X is a very different car built on a new platform with new parts. It feels more substantial than the Aygo on the road, with better refinement and ride quality. You also get a noticeable jump in cabin quality, with nicer-feeling materials and better on-board tech. Despite its SUV looks, the Aygo X is still just 3.7 metres long so it's much better at crossing concrete jungles than actual jungles, and can squeeze into the tiniest of parking spaces.

Toyota Yaris Cross

Toyota Yaris Cross in silver

There's a lot to like about the Yaris hatchback, but it's not practical enough for family buyers. Step in the Toyota Yaris Cross. This uses the same smooth 1.5-litre hybrid setup as the hatch but fits it to a compact SUV body. That means you get the same easy driving experience and excellent urban fuel economy, but in a package that's just large enough to carry bulky child seats and a pushchair. Equipment levels are reasonably strong and you'll appreciate the Yaris Cross' raised driving position that gives you a confident view of the road ahead.

Toyota C-HR

Toyota C-HR in orange

Apparently, the Toyota C-HR's name stands for 'compact high-rider', so you can see why they went with the acronym instead! This crossover sits between the smaller Yaris Cross and larger RAV4 but, unlike those models, has a sportier, coupe-inspired body shape and surprisingly sporty handling. Earlier versions were offered with a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine but most recent examples come with either a 1.8 or 2.0-litre hybrid setup. The latter offers more performance than you might expect from a fuel-sipping hybrid, and feels effortless at speed.

2024 Toyota C-HR

2024 Toyota C-HR in orange

Deliveries have begun the new-for-2024 Toyota C-HR, too, although these aren't yet common on the used market. This model has been heavily overhauled with better tech and a more premium cabin, plus improvements to the hybrid setup to make it sharper to drive. Toyota will also introduce a new plug-in hybrid version that'll be able to cover a good few miles on electric power alone.

Toyota RAV4

Toyota RAV4 in white

The Toyota RAV4 was one of the first road-focused SUVs on sale and has remained one of the brand's most popular models to this date. It's a spacious five seater with lots of room in the rear row for taller passengers to get comfortable. You also get a vast, square boot that doesn't compromise itself by trying to squeeze a mostly pointless third row of seats back there. Most models come with a 2.5-litre hybrid setup that has more than enough power for this bulky SUV, or you can select the plug-in-hybrid model which makes a healthy 302hp.

Toyota Land Cruiser

Toyota Land Cruiser in beige

Most of Toyota's SUVs are great family cars that can tackle light-duty off-roading. If you need to go properly off-road, however, you'll need something like the Toyota Land Cruiser. It's been totally redesigned for 2024, but this nameplate has decades of cross-country heritage and the car itself has a suite of serious off-road hardware to keep it going when the going gets rough. Prices are fairly high and fuel economy is fairly low but, for buyers who need a Land Cruiser's ability, nothing else will do.

Toyota Aygo

Toyota Aygo in white

The Aygo has been the smallest and most affordable car in Toyota's lineup – and it's even better value as a used buy. Its sheer compactness means it's cheap to run and very easy to park, plus insurance groups and fuel consumption are low, too. There are a few drawbacks – performance is leisurely, some cabin plastics feel a bit cheap, and there's only enough practicality for a single buyer or a couple. That's par for the course in the city car class, however, with the Fiat 500 and the Aygo's mechanical cousins, the Citroen C1 and Peugeot 108, similarly compromised. Most versions include air conditioning, cruise control and an infotainment system.

Toyota Yaris

Toyota Yaris in red

Another Toyota nameplate that's stood the test of time is the Yaris. The latest model is smarter than ever, too. All models get the company's latest automatic 1.5-litre hybrid setup, so there's no gears to shift and the electric motor has rapid reactions at low speeds, making stop-start urban driving effortless. With the motor and engine working together, you can expect excellent fuel economy north of 60mpg. The cabin also sees a noticeable step up in quality over the smaller Aygo, although it's still a compact car so family buyers might want to get something bigger.

Toyota GR Yaris

Toyota GR Yaris in red

It's nothing new for a carmaker to make a hot hatch version of a more sedate hatchback. However, where a car like the Volkswagen Polo GTI turns the dial up a few notches over its sibling, the Toyota GR Yaris turns it up to 11, then throws the whole stereo out the window. This is a motorsport-bred monster with 257hp, a manual gearbox and four-wheel drive, built specifically so Toyota could enter it into rally racing. You'll spot other unique features over the standard Yaris, too – the unique three-door body, the grippy sports seats and the fact it accelerates so hard you'll feel like you left your lunch back at the traffic lights.

Toyota Corolla

Toyota Corolla in red

The world's best selling car – that's quite an accolade, so the Toyota Corolla must be doing something right. Take the most recent model for a spin and the answer will become clear. The brand has fine-tuned the hybrid engine and the on-board user interface to make the Corolla fantastically easy to drive and live with. It's not especially exciting from behind the wheel and the boot is smaller than rivals like the Volkswagen Golf, but the Corolla is easy to love because it works so hard to make day-to-day driving easy.

Toyota Prius

Toyota Prius Plug-In in yellow

Even if you've never owned a Toyota Prius, there's a chance you've sat in one if you've ever taken a private hire car. You can trust the knowledge of the nation's taxi drivers, too, because they know the Prius is large enough for rear passengers and their luggage, won't cost much to run, and will go for hundreds of thousands of miles with basic maintenance. The most recent model is available only as a plug-in hybrid in the UK, with an electric range above 40 miles and more than 200hp under your right foot.

Toyota saloon and estate range explained

Toyota Corolla Touring Sports estate

Toyota Corolla Touring Sports in silver

We've already covered how easy the Toyota Corolla hatchback is to live with, but buyers with small children or four-legged friends might find the boot is a bit too small. Thankfully, the Corolla Touring Sports estate fixes this issue, with a longer roof and a substantially larger boot behind the rear seats. Everything else remains the same as the standard Corolla, with a smooth, efficient hybrid system under the bonnet, an easy-to-use dashboard in front of you, and decent rear passenger space behind you.

Toyota Camry

Toyota Camry in white

The Camry is a larger four-door saloon that's been incredibly popular in North America for decades, but fell out of favour in Europe. Nevertheless, Toyota had a go at reintroducing the nameplate over here in 2019. It turns out British buyers won't be easily separated from their SUVs, so the Camry was dropped in the UK after only a couple of years, but you can still bag a great deal on one on the used market. It's a great car, too, with balanced handling, lots of passenger space, and decent cargo room provided your luggage can be stacked in the saloon-style boot.

Toyota EV range explained

Toyota bZ4X

Toyota bZ4X in red

With so much focus on hybrids, Toyota has been a little slow to move into the EV market. Maybe that's why its awkwardly named bZ4X EV has struggled to stand out against rivals that are generally faster, more high tech and can go further on a charge. However, if past experience with Toyota products has taught us anything, it's that the bZ4X will probably prove very durable and will continue hitting its modest performance benchmarks long after most rivals will have succumbed to mechanical failure.

Toyota Mirai

Toyota Mirai in red

The Toyota Mirai is an oddball sedan intended to show off the company's hydrogen fuel cell technology. Considering how limited the hydrogen infrastructure is in the UK, it's best reserved for a handful of very specific use cases. On-board high-pressure tanks deliver hydrogen to the fuel cell where it's oxidised into water, releasing electrical energy in the process. This energy then drives the wheels or can be stored in a small battery pack for later use.

Toyota sports cars

Toyota GR86

Toyota GR86 in blue

To keep costs down, Toyota shares sports car platforms with other brands, which is why the Toyota GR86 shares parts with the nearly identical Subaru BRZ. This is a refreshingly pure sports car – its lightweight rear-wheel drive platform, revvy non-turbo petrol engine and snappy manual gearbox all make it a genuine thrill to fling down a twisty back road. Comfort and refinement take a back seat as you'd expect, although your rear passengers may not want to because the cramped back row is best treated as a bit of extra storage.

Toyota GR Supra

Toyota Supra in red

Like the GR86, the Toyota GR Supra shares many oily bits with the BMW Z4. Unlike its German sibling, the GR Supra is a hardtop coupe only and has swoopy, dramatic styling that looks like it came from a manga comic books. There's a potent 2.0-litre engine in entry-level models, but the one you want is the mighty 3.0-litre version with more than 300hp and a torque curve that looks like a brick wall. This is a serious sports car and demands sizeable compromises to long-distance comfort, affordability and practicality, but it's a price worth paying once you've experienced the performance on offer.
