In a world where cars are getting bigger and bigger, navigating urban life is becoming trickier. For those of us who live in cities with tight suburban streets, owning a big car is sometimes just not an option. Luckily, the small car is not yet dead, and there are plenty of nimble options out there.

One of the most affordable brands that offer these small cars is Toyota. Their large stable of shorter and smaller cars offers plenty of choices for those who don’t want a massive vehicle. On top of being easier to drive and park, small cars, especially those built by Toyota, are often more efficient and cheaper to maintain in general.

We take a look at Toyota’s offerings of small cars and rank them from the shortest to the longest. We dive into the performance specs of these cars as well as their physical dimensions. We will give you all the information you could need should you be considering taking a small Toyota home.

In order to give you the most up-to-date and accurate information possible, the data used to compile this article was sourced from Toyota websites and other authoritative sources, including the EPA. These cars are listed from shortest to longest.

10 2024 Toyota GR86

Starting MSRP: $29,300

The GR86 is the shortest of all Toyota's offerings in 2024. This entry-level sports coupe was co-created with Subaru alongside their BRZ. If you're a sports car enthusiast, and you're looking for an affordable entry point into the hobby, then you won't do much better than the GR86.

Performance Specifications

It may not be the most powerful sports car on the market, but the GR86 is nimble and extremely fun to drive. It is also one of the few new cars left that can be had with a manual six-speed transmission. Its small size also makes it an excellent daily driver.

9 2024 Toyota GR Supra

Starting MSRP: $46,440

If you're looking for something a little more fierce than the GR86, then the Supra has you covered. Produced in partnership with BMW, the Supra is perhaps one of the purest and most enjoyable sports cars on the market today. On top of this, it remains relatively affordable despite its impressive performance.

Performance Specifications

The GR Supra lives up to the performance of its predecessors with either a 2.0-liter inline-four or a 3.0-liter inline-six. Another impressive factor is that, regardless of which powertrain you go with, it's actually more fuel-efficient than the GR86.

8 2024 Toyota GR Corolla

Starting MSRP: $36,500

Another performance car from the brand, the GR Corolla is a high-performance, hatchback variation of the popular Toyota economy car. Don't be fooled, though, the Corolla is one of the highest-performing hatchbacks to ever be created. This is the perfect car for someone who wants four functional seats but also wants a high-performance sports car.

Performance Specifications

Some might be shocked by the GR Corolla's fuel economy figures due to its nameplate. At its heart, though, the GR Corolla has a 300-horsepower engine, making it the most powerful three-cylinder in history. For purist car enthusiasts who need cargo space as well as a functional rear row of seats, there is no alternative.

Dimensions

7 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross

Starting MSRP: $23,860

Unlike the GR Corolla, the Corolla Cross is just as tame as the car from which it draws its name. Based on the Corolla hatchback, the Corolla Cross offers all the sensible value that the regular Corolla offers, but with increased ride height and interior space for both passengers and cargo.

Performance Specifications

Alongside being fairly nimble and easy to maneuver, the Corolla Cross is exceptionally efficient. This paired with its super mild price tag makes it one of the best value-for-money family cars on the market. It comes with tons of modern technology and is incredibly cheap to own and maintain. It can also be had with a hybrid powertrain for those looking for improved fuel economy.

Dimensions

6 2024 Toyota RAV4 Prime

Starting MSRP: $43,690

The RAV4 Prime is the plug-in hybrid version of the legendary RAV4. The RAV4 Prime is perhaps the most successful PHEV created to date, outselling practically all of its competition. For those looking for a small SUV capable of navigating city streets as well as doing some light off-roading, the RAV4 Prime is one of your best choices.

Performance Specifications

The RAV4 Prime features all the desirable aspects of the regular RAV4 as well as exceptional fuel economy. With just over 600 miles of overall range, the RAV4 can also travel for ages without having to be filled up or recharged. The only real downside is that it can get quite pricey as you move up the trim ladder.

Dimensions

5 2024 Toyota Prius Prime

Starting MSRP: $32,975

Just as the RAV4 Prime is the PHEV version of the RAV4, the Prius Prime is the PHEV version of the ever-popular Prius. The Prius is a brilliant four-door car with tons of space in the front and the rear. Toyota has also transformed the Prius over the years and its cabin is now bordering on luxury territory when equipped properly.

Performance Specifications

The Prius Prime's fuel economy figures are incredibly impressive. Most impressive, though, is how well it does in the city, getting up to 53 miles per gallon. The Prius Prime comes in at an incredibly reasonable price point, being the most affordable PHEV that can get 30 miles of all-electric range.

Dimensions

4 2024 Toyota Prius

Starting MSRP: $27,950

For those who don't want to fully commit to a plug-in hybrid, the more affordable, traditional hybrid Prius is still a fantastic option. Just as nice on the inside and the outside as the Prime model, the regular Prius offers all the desirable features you would want while still maintaining great fuel economy.

Performance Specifications

While the Prius Prime is capable of running on electric-only power, the regular Prius actually gets better gas mileage when running off of just the gas engine. Achieving up to 57 miles per gallon in the city, the Prius is one of the best hatchbacks that you can get for driving in the city if you're looking to save on fuel costs.

Dimensions

3 2024 Toyota RAV4

Starting MSRP: $28,675

The RAV4 is perhaps the model that started the modern trend of compact SUVs. This rugged little machine has functionality and practicality on the brain, with every feature designed to be as user-friendly as possible. It may not be extremely flashy, but the RAV4 will get you wherever you want to go without any hiccups.

Performance Specifications

If you're looking for a small SUV that doesn't compromise on important things, then the RAV4 is a brilliant choice. Alongside being exceptionally affordable, the RAV4 is cheap to own and maintain and comes fitted with every possible amenity you could need. A redesign is just around the corner, though, and some may find it worth it to wait.

Dimensions

2 2024 Toyota Corolla

Starting MSRP: $22,050

The Toyota Corolla is perhaps one of the most successful sedans in history. Its balance of affordability, practicality, and low running costs have made it the favorite of people looking for a cheap run-around. The 2024 model year is no exception, with the compact sedan remaining a cost-saving champion.

Performance Specifications

The Corolla doesn't offer performance that excites, instead, it offers sensibility in bucket loads. From tons of standard safety equipment to super low maintenance costs, the Corolla is one of the most affordable cars you can own in 2024. The current generation is also one of the most reliable Toyota's this decade.

Dimensions

1 2024 Toyota bZ4x

Starting MSRP: $43,070

The bZ4x is Toyota's largest small car and the only electric car on this list. It is also the first serious attempt the Japanese brand has made at creating an EV, and it shows in a number of ways. Toyota's general value in terms of equipment and starting MSRP is ever present, but range, charging times, and low overall efficiency show that there is plenty of room for improvement.

Performance Specifications

The bZ4x is the smallest electric vehicle that you can get in the Toyota lineup. While its interior and its long list of standard equipment may impress you, its maximum range of 252 miles on a single charge may deter you. Though, if you're confined to city driving most of the time, this may not be the biggest issue.
