Toyota SUV sizes at a glance

Compare Toyota SUV dimensions and boot space

It is said that variety is the spice of life, but a broad choice can potentially lead to uncertainty over which of our eight distinct models will best suit your needs. Names alone offer no clear indication of relative proportions, so an understanding of each model’s basic dimensions and official segment classification is the first step in determining which is the best fit for your lifestyle, your family, even your garage.

How vehicle size relates to usage

In order to help customers choose the correct vehicle for their needs, cars sold in Europe are categorised alphabetically based on their relative size or type.

A-segment cars are the smallest and often described as ‘city cars‘; they generally range in size from 2700 to 3700mm long and may only seat four people. B-segment is the category for ‘small cars‘ or ‘superminis’, and these will usually measure between 3700 and 4200mm long. C-segment is for ‘medium cars‘ or ‘small family cars’, which range in size from 4200 to 4600mm, while D-segment is used to describe ‘large cars‘ or ‘large family cars’, which generally measure from 4600 to 5000mm in length.

Toyota’s comprehensive crossover/SUV range covers segment sizes ‘A’ to ‘D’. As the name suggests, an A-segment city car like the Aygo X Hybrid is probably the most suitable for city dwellers. However, the relatively small dimensions of the B-segment Yaris Cross and Urban Cruiser also make these models a good choice around town.

Small families may appreciate the greater space and practicality afforded by the medium-size C-segment Toyota C-HR or Toyota C-HR+, while larger families that require the most space, luggage capacity and long-distance comfort will be best served by the D-segment bZ4X or new generation RAV4 (above)

How vehicle size relates to its powertrain

The size heirarchy is also reflected in the increasing capacity and output of the electrified powertrain installed in each model. Within the Toyota SUV range, these fall into two types: hybrid or all-electric.

Toyota’s hybrid SUVs

The Aygo X Hybrid (above) and Yaris Cross are equipped with a 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol-electric hybrid powertrain, the former offering 115bhp and the latter 130bhp. The Toyota C-HR can be specified with either a 140bhp 1.8-litre four-cylinder petrol-electric hybrid powertrain or 223bhp 2.0-litre plug-in hybrid powertrain.

Toyota’s plug-in hybrid SUV

Finally, the RAV4 is equipped with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder plug-in hybrid powertrain that is configured to produce either 272bhp or 309bhp.

Toyota’s all-electric SUVS

Each all-electric model has at least two powertrain options to help customers size a version that best suits their driving requirements and budget. The Urban Cruiser (above right in image) offers the smallest battery and motor output – 49kWh and 142bhp – however, a larger 61kWh and 172bhp combination is also available.

The Toyota C-HR+ (centre) can be specified with either a 59kWh battery and 165bhp motor, or a 77kWh battery with a 221bhp motor.

At the top of the all-electric range, the bZ4X (above left) is available with a 57.7kWh battery and 165bhp motor, or 73.1kWh battery pack with either 221bhp (front-wheel drive) or 338bhp (four-wheel drive) outputs. The bZ4X Touring is available with a 74.7kWh battery pack and two power outputs.

But aren’t there are two more Toyota SUVs?

It’s true, we omitted a couple of iconic models from the details above. Although the Hilux and Land Cruiser (below) are officially categorised as sports utility vehicles, they are very different propositions from our eight comparison crossover/SUVs above.

They feature separate body-on-frame construction, powertrains and all-mechanical four-wheel-drive systems. In addition, both possess a strong off-road and commercial vehicle heritage. All of which place them in a different and less immediately comparable area of the SUV segment.
