How we ranked these

We ranked the Toyota models on sale in the US on toyota.com by breadth of use, EPA fuel economy from fueleconomy.gov, IIHS 2026 awards and each model’s published starting price. Toyota’s model pages do not say whether the starting MSRP includes the destination fee, so that could not be confirmed. Model years differ (2026 and 2027). The Highlander, Crown, bZ, GR Corolla, Land Cruiser, Sequoia and the sports coupe were not ranked, and toyota.com’s GR Supra page is a farewell page. IIHS awards were found only for the Camry, Prius and Tundra on its 2026 list; not being on the list is not a poor rating. NHTSA star ratings could not be confirmed.
