Best Toyota small SUVs
Take a look at our top picks of the best small Toyota SUV for something reliable, compact, and high-quality
)
Across the world, Toyota is well-known for designing and building some of the greatest and most off-road-capable SUVs, from the Land Cruiser and FJ Cruiser to the Highlander and Fortuner.
But here in the UK, it’s rare to find one of these larger models, and instead, we favour the small SUV. Luckily, Toyota also makes some cracking little SUVs.
Best Toyota small SUV options
Toyota Yaris Cross
 "Toyota Yaris Cross")
The Toyota Yaris is one of the most recognised and popular cars in the world, with more than eight million units being made since the model was introduced in 1999.
To expand and cater to the growing SUV demand, Toyota has made the Yaris Cross, which comes complete with a hybrid powertrain that makes it one of the most economical crossover SUVs, offering 64mpg.
It’s practical too, with a 397-litre boot and plenty of space in the cabin. It can seat up to five people and it’s full of the latest car tech to keep your passengers amused on longer drives. All that makes it one of the best small Toyota models you can buy.

Toyota C-HR
)
You’d be forgiven for thinking the C-HR is a spaceship because of its futuristic design and unique creases in the bodywork – it’s truly a unique design that offers a sporty edge.
It may look like a coupé, but the C-HR is actually close to the Hyundai Kona’s size.
There are two hybrid engine options on offer comprising a 1.8-litre and 2.0-litre unit, both based on a four-cylinder engine.
You get a 377-litre boot and plenty of space in the rear for adults or children. It's an ideal small Toyota SUV that's still spacious and comfortable.

Toyota RAV4
)
If you fancy taking it up a notch, the RAV4 might be the one for you.
Available as either a hybrid or plug-in hybrid (PHEV), the RAV4 is ideal for city driving and longer motorway journeys because of its top-end 242mpg figure.
If you opt for the PHEV then you can benefit from a massive 46 miles on electric power alone, making it perfect if you live or commute in a city.
Being slightly taller and longer, you also get a larger boot that measures 580 litres – masses of space for the average driver.

Toyota bZ4X
)
The latest addition to Toyota’s lineup is called the bZ4X, and it’s an all-electric SUV with the latest in-car technology and a name that’s almost as confusing as the instructions you get with a new boiler.
Depending on the spec you opt for, you can expect to get between 286 miles and 317 miles on a single charge, making it a viable option for those wanting to make the jump into EV ownership.
With it being electric, there’s no engine or transmission tunnel hump taking up precious foot space, and the large boot measures 452 litres.
