What are some good Toyota first cars?

My husband and I are going to get our teen a new car for their birthday, but we’re not sure about the best option. We’ve always had Toyota vehicles, so we’re probably going to start looking there. What Toyota model should we consider?

How exciting for your teen! A good Toyota first car for a young driver is a
Toyota Corolla
. But there are other great options in the Toyota lineup too!
When considering a first car, you want something that’s safe and is relatively inexpensive to maintain and insure—which can be a challenge for young drivers. The Toyota Corolla is offered as a compact car or hatchback with an MSRP of $21,520. It has a five-star
NHTSA safety rating
and is noted for being fuel-efficient and affordable to maintain.
Here are a few other Toyotas that would make good first cars:
  • Toyota Camry
    (MSRP $26,940): Fuel-friendly family sedan
  • Toyota Prius
    (MSRP $26,170): Hatchback hybrid with optional all-wheel drive
  • Toyota RAV4
    (MSRP $28,310): A practical, fuel-efficient, and stylish SUV
