Most fuel-efficient Toyota models
Running costs are a large part of ownership, and efficiency varies widely within a single brand. Based on EPA figures in our dataset, the most efficient Toyota models are:
- bZ4X — 119 MPGe (electric) · most efficient in the lineup
- Prius Prime — 54 MPG combined
- Camry Hybrid — 52 MPG combined
- Prius — 52 MPG combined
- Prius — 52 MPG combined
- Corolla Cross Hybrid — 42 MPG combined
How to compare Toyota models on total cost
Two Toyota models with similar sticker prices can differ by thousands of dollars over five years once you add fuel or electricity, insurance, maintenance, and depreciation. Use the cost-of-ownership calculator on any model page to see a pre-filled five-year total based on real EPA efficiency and segment-average depreciation. Depreciation is usually the largest single ownership cost, so compare projected resale value, not just the purchase price.
You can also model financing directly with our Auto Loan Calculator and compare running costs across brands on the full vehicle directory.
What a Toyota costs to own over five years
Sticker price and ownership cost are different numbers. Running our standard ownership model over 3 representative Toyota models — the cheapest in the lineup, a mid-range pick, and the most expensive — gives a five-year net cost between $37,489 and $81,031, or roughly $7,498 to $16,206 a year. Net cost means everything you pay out — down payment, loan payments, fuel or electricity, insurance, maintenance and registration — minus the vehicle's projected value at the end of year five.
| Model | In lineup | MSRP used | 5-year net cost | Per year | Per mile |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corolla | Entry | $24,500 | $37,489 | $7,498 | $0.62 |
| Avalon | Mid-range | $40,000 | $53,491 | $10,698 | $0.89 |
| Sequoia | Top | $66,500 | $81,031 | $16,206 | $1.35 |
Assumptions: 12,000 miles a year, 20% down, a 5-year loan at 6.39% APR, 7% sales tax and $150 registration (national baselines), gasoline at $4.06 a gallon (AAA) and electricity at $0.16 a kWh (EIA), plus segment-average insurance, maintenance and depreciation. The projection also uses segment-average depreciation curves, so it is an estimate for a typical Toyota in that class rather than a forecast for one specific car. Every input is editable on the model pages and in our total cost of ownership calculator.
Depreciation is normally the largest single line. On the Corolla, the model above projects roughly $12,250 of value lost over five years — about 50% of its $24,500 price — which is why a low sticker price and a low ownership cost are not the same thing.
How Toyota compares across our 32-brand dataset
Price position is easier to judge against the whole market than in isolation. Across the 32 brands and 300 models in our dataset, Toyota ranks 4th on entry price at $21,000 for the Corolla, and 13th on top-trim price at $75,000 for the Sequoia. Ranks are counted from the cheapest end (1st = lowest entry price; ties share a rank) and the median entry price across the dataset is $38,000.
Efficiency sets the floor under running costs. The most efficient Toyota in our dataset is the Prius Prime at 54 MPG combined, which ranks 11st of 244 gasoline, hybrid and plug-in hybrid models. Note that MPGe and MPG use different scales, so electric models are ranked only against other electric models.
1 of the 29 Toyota models in our dataset are battery-electric (3%), against 56 of 300 models (19%) across the whole dataset.
| Closest brands by entry price | Their entry price | Vs Toyota |
|---|---|---|
| Chevrolet | $21,000 | same |
| Honda | $20,000 | -$1,000 |
| Hyundai | $20,000 | -$1,000 |
| Subaru | $20,000 | -$1,000 |

How do I compare Toyota models on cost of ownership?
Open any model above to see a pre-filled five-year cost-of-ownership calculator covering fuel or electricity, insurance, maintenance, depreciation, and registration. Comparing the five-year totals is far more informative than comparing sticker prices alone.
What does a Toyota cost to own for five years?
Running our standard ownership model over 3 representative Toyota models produces a five-year net cost between $37,489 and $81,031, or roughly $7,498 to $16,206 a year. Those figures are net of projected resale value and assume 12,000 miles a year, 20% down, a 5-year loan at 6.39% APR, 7% sales tax and $150 registration (national baselines), gasoline at $4.06 a gallon (AAA) and electricity at $0.16 a kWh (EIA), plus segment-average insurance, maintenance and depreciation.
