Toyota

Auris

£11,375 - £18,092

After the sleep-assisting blandness of the Corolla, Toyota promised us a big leap forward in the Auris. But Evel Knievel could leap further than this. And he’s dead.

Avensis

£13,750 - £22,257

Even if you’re new, spangly and actually rather terrific it’s tricky to get noticed in the rep market. So, where does that leave the old and distinctly unterrific Avensis? 

Avensis Tourer

It's like an Avensis. But it has a boot. This doesn’t make it any more exciting than the Avensis. It does, conveniently, mean you can transport more stuff. Clever, eh?

AYGO

£6,330 - £8,625

Seriously good little city car, the strongest of the triplets fathered jointly with Peugeot and Citroen. If this is poverty motoring, then we say bring it on.

Corolla Verso

£14,200 - £20,500

Being useful and reliable is the key to the small MPV market, which is where Toyota comes into its own. The charisma bypass is forgivable – this is proper family kit.

Land Cruiser

£26,632 - £58,090

Forget Land Rover, this is the vehicle worshipped in the world’s most hostile and unforgiving environments. But, as Kensington isn’t one of these, do you need one?

Land Cruiser Amazon

£49,057

Probably the car that gave Red Ken more sleepless nights than anything, and you’ve got to love it for that. Utterly bulletproof luxo-truck. Peace of mind, Baghdad style.

Prius

£17,182 - £20,082

Brilliant opportunism by Toyota established the Prius as The Answer to the planet’s problems. It isn’t, and sadly a quite clever car got lost in the political shitstorm. 

RAV4

£18,310 - £26,650

Toyota invented the modern soft-roader with the first RAV4. The new one is a fine SUV but its trail-blazing days are over. There’s not even a three-door. What a shame. 

Yaris

£8,230 - £12,830

Usually small people compensate in some way – either with a big personality, noisy hair or a nuclear temper. The Yaris is small. And quite good. Anyone fancy a pint?
