Brand context

About Toyota

<p>Toyota has a reputation for building efficient and exceptionally reliable vehicles. This holds true in most cases, with a few exceptions. Most of their models do well in our testing, thanks to their impressive fuel economy, comfortable rides, quiet cabins, good controls, and generous standard safety equipment. All of this makes Toyotas among the best options for used vehicles. The brand was a hybrid pioneer, starting with the original Prius. Toyota has evolved and expanded that technology, and most vehicles in its lineup are available as a hybrid. Toyota sells a number of plug-in hybrids and an increasing number of EVs, including the bZ and C-HR. The company also knows how to add a dosage of excitement into its lineup: The GR86, GR Corolla, and Supra are legit, fun-to-drive sports cars.</p>
