The grid below is the store's new Toyota crossover and SUV search. Filter by model, trim, drivetrain or color, or read on for how the sizes differ before you choose.
Toyota's crossover and SUV names stop helping once you are comparing four of them in a row. The clearer way to read this grid is as a ladder. At the bottom sits the compact crossover, a car underneath with a taller body over it: easy to park at Waterside, cheap to run, and big enough for two adults, a dog and a weekend.
One rung up, the same idea gets more width, more cargo depth behind the second row, and a ride that settles better on I-75. Above that comes the three-row crossover, where the question changes from cargo to seats, and at the top sit the body-on-frame SUVs, built for towing weight and going places pavement does not.
Narrow the search by powertrain or body style, or settle the numbers before you drive over.
Size is the decision, and a specification sheet cannot settle it. Pick the listings you are torn between, book a test drive, and bring the car seats.
A crossover is built as one structure, body and frame together, which makes it lighter, quieter and more economical, and gives it the steering manners of a large car. For school runs, beach trips and the drive to Fort Lauderdale, that is the better vehicle almost every time.
A body-on-frame SUV bolts a separate body to a ladder frame. It is heavier and thirstier, and it rides like what it is, but it takes sustained towing and rough ground in a way a crossover is not designed to. If you pull a boat to Marco Island most weekends, that weight is the point rather than the penalty.
Hybrid versions are not a separate corner of this lineup any more; they run through the compact, midsize and three-row crossovers alongside the standard powertrains. In Southwest Florida they make a particular kind of sense. A hybrid recovers energy under braking and runs its electric motor most at low speed, which is exactly the pattern of a season afternoon on US-41: short hops, long lights, air conditioning on the whole time. In that kind of driving the fuel-economy gap between a hybrid and a conventional engine opens up.
The hybrid battery on a new Toyota carries Toyota's own coverage, and the disclaimer below gives its term. The whole electrified lineup, hybrids and battery electric vehicles together, filters on its own page, linked below.
A third row is easy to buy too early or too late. Families buy one for the two weekends a year the grandparents visit, then live with a smaller cargo area for a decade. Other families put off buying one until the carpool has already outgrown the back seat.
The useful question is what happens behind the third row when it is up. On some three-row vehicles that space holds a week of luggage; on others it holds a folded stroller and not much else. If a third row is on your list, load the back of the ones you are considering with the things you actually carry. It settles the question quickly.
Every new Toyota here arrives with the factory warranty and with ToyotaCare, Toyota's plan for factory-scheduled maintenance and roadside assistance, on the terms the disclaimer below gives. Toyota's crossover and SUV model pages name Toyota Safety Sense driver-assist technology, and each vehicle listing states which package that vehicle carries.
Booking that maintenance here keeps the work and the record in one service department, and a complete service history is what makes a vehicle straightforward to appraise or certify years later. For service and parts hours, see the hours and directions page.
How it is built underneath. A crossover is built on a car platform, with the body and frame as one structure, which is why it rides and steers closer to a sedan and returns better fuel economy. A traditional SUV is body-on-frame, a separate body bolted to a ladder frame, which is heavier but better suited to serious towing and rough ground. Toyota describes the 4Runner as body-on-frame; ask sales how any other model is built.
Count the people you carry every week, not the people you carry twice a year. Two adults and a dog fit a compact crossover comfortably and park it anywhere. A young family with car seats usually wants the extra width and cargo depth of a RAV4 sized vehicle. Once there are three children or a regular carpool, a third row stops being a luxury and a Highlander, Grand Highlander or Sequoia earns its footprint. The practical test is a booster seat and a stroller in the back of the two you are considering.
Yes, across much of the range rather than at one end of it. Hybrid versions run through the compact, midsize and three-row crossovers, and they suit Naples driving particularly well because a hybrid does its best work in exactly the stop-and-start traffic that US-41 and Immokalee Rd produce in season. Toyota covers the hybrid battery on a new vehicle, and the disclaimer at the foot of this page gives the term. The electrified page filters the whole hybrid and electric lineup on its own.
For most drivers here, no. There is no snow and no ice, and front-wheel drive with good tires handles summer rain perfectly well. All-wheel drive is worth the money if you tow, if you use unpaved tracks, if you drive north regularly, or if you simply want the extra traction margin on standing water during the wet season. It costs a little fuel economy and a little purchase price, and on a crossover the difference in daily feel is small. Drive one of each before deciding.
Factory-scheduled maintenance and roadside assistance on a new Toyota, for a term that depends on the model year; the disclaimer below gives it. Toyota's own terms say to see a Toyota dealer for details and exclusions. Book it here and the same service department that knows the vehicle also keeps the record, which matters later when the vehicle is appraised or certified.
Ask sales about ordering one before you compromise on color or trim. The grid changes from week to week. The Vehicle Finder Service records the model, trim, drivetrain and color you are after, and it costs nothing.
It depends on how long you keep vehicles. A new Toyota brings the full factory warranty, ToyotaCare on the term its model year carries, and your choice of specification. A Toyota Certified Pre-Owned SUV has cleared a 160-point inspection and carries Toyota-backed coverage of its own, Gold or Silver depending on its age and mileage, at a lower number. If you keep vehicles a decade the new one usually makes more sense; if you change every three or four years, certified is worth a serious look.
