Before Toyota became the vehicle manufacturing juggernaut we know today, the company made automatic looms. After selling the patent to a British company in 1929, the company used the resulting capital to start developing automobiles. In the years since, Toyota has continued to set a high bar for production and innovation, including the first Japanese passenger car to be exported to the U.S., and the first mass-produced hybrid vehicle. Currently, Toyota is the top auto manufacturer in the world, with production numbers that approach 10 million vehicles each year.
With multiple models represented on top-seller lists every year, Toyota is known for making cars, trucks, and SUVs that people want to drive. No matter which type of vehicle you’re looking for, there’s a Toyota for you. Top models include:

Crossovers & SUVs
Hybrid & Electric Vehicles (EVs)
