26 Toyota generations rated.
10-15
The ZVW30 Prius is the low-cost-of-ownership king of the commuter segment: 50 MPG combined, $408/yr maintenance, and a hybrid battery that routinely outlasts 200k miles in moderate climates.
04-09
The most fuel-efficient car on this list. 46 MPG combined. The lowest annual ownership cost of any vehicle rated.
16-21
The TNGA-platform Prius raised the bar on everything the 3rd gen already did well, better safety, better MPG, and Toyota Safety Sense standard from 2016.
14-19
The 3rd gen Highlander added 295hp from the updated 2GR-FKS and standard Toyota Safety Sense P from 2016, the most complete Highlander before the TNGA redesign.
08-13
The 2nd gen Highlander is where the platform matured, standard ESC, 5-star NHTSA, and the 2GR-FE V6 that became Toyota's gold standard for SUV reliability.
01-07
The 1st gen Highlander is a CAR-based 7-passenger SUV with Toyota reliability at prices that have dropped below $8k, the 4-cylinder version especially is a durable low-maintenance buy.
12-17
The XV50 finally made ESC standard and upgraded to the 2AR-FE, solving the 2AZ-FE oil consumption concern and making the Camry formula genuinely complete.
07-11
The XV40 is the Camry that Toyota got right on safety, 5-star NHTSA, IIHS Good, while keeping the 2AZ-FE's proven reliability.
18-24
America's best-selling car for a reason. The 8th gen Camry is genuinely well-engineered.
02-06
The XV30 Camry gave you a reliable 2.4L with a timing chain and nothing to worry about, just watch for the oil consumption on the 2AZ-FE above 150k miles.
The E170 is the Corolla that finally got everything right, top IIHS scores, a genuinely refined cabin, and near-zero unscheduled repair visits.
09-13
The E140 fixed everything the E120 left unfinished, the 2ZR-FE engine is cleaner, ESC is finally standard, and the IIHS went to Good.
03-08
The E120 generation brought the 1ZZ-FE, a chain-driven four that, oil-consumption quirks aside, outlasts most of what it competes against.
11-20
The Toyota Sienna 3rd Gen is the most reliable minivan in the used market — 50% reach 250k miles, AWD is available on all years, and the 2018+ models add Toyota Safety Sense standard.
04-10
The Toyota Sienna 2nd Gen is a reliable 8-passenger family hauler powered by the proven 2GR V6 — one of the highest-mileage minivans available in the used market.
13-18
The 4th gen RAV4 improved interior quality and fuel economy while keeping the proven 2AR-FE, making it the top compact SUV pick at the $12k–$18k price point.
06-12
The 3rd gen RAV4 with the 2AR-FE is the compact SUV reliability benchmark, same engine as the Camry XV50, standard ESC, and Toyota-level durability at $9k–$14k.
19-24
The best-selling vehicle in America for a reason. The 5th gen RAV4 is the standard against which every other compact SUV is judged.
05-23
The truck that holds its value better than almost any vehicle ever made. 22% 5-year depreciation matches the Wrangler, and it's more livable.
95-04
The 1st gen Tacoma is the most reliable compact truck ever made, the 3RZ-FE or V6 5VZ-FE will run forever, but the frame rust issue on pre-2005 examples is so severe that Toyota ran a buyback program.
10-24
The last true body-on-frame SUV you can buy new. Used examples hold value so well, older ones cost almost as much.
12-19
Actually Good Used Cars rates the 2012-2019 Toyota Yaris (XP130) 79 out of 100, a stylistic refresh of the XP90 with the equally bulletproof 2NR-FE engine and, on 2016+ trims, Toyota Safety Sense pre-collision braking.
Actually Good Used Cars rates the 2007-2011 Toyota Yaris (XP90) 80 out of 100, a no-frills subcompact powered by the bulletproof non-interference 2NZ-FE four that routinely sees 250k miles on nothing but oil changes.
20-20
Actually Good Used Cars rates the 2020 Toyota Yaris (XP210) 77 out of 100, a Mazda2-based rebadge with Skyactiv-G engineering and Toyota Safety Sense whose only real downside is orphan-model parts sourcing after Toyota killed it mid-year.
08-22
First in the iSeeCars 250k longevity study. 39.1% chance of reaching 250,000 miles. Nothing else comes close.
98-07
The LX470 without the premium fuel tax. Same J100 platform, 87 regular octane, $600/yr savings.
