If you’re considering a new Toyota SUV—of which there are many—let us help by telling you how the lineup stacks up from largest to smallest. Understanding Toyota SUVs by size can help you match the right vehicle to your daily needs, whether you’re hauling the whole family or navigating a packed parking lot in Kinston, North Carolina.
The Largest Toyota SUV: Land Cruiser
The 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser sits at the top of the Toyota SUV lineup in terms of size, capability, and its iconic presence. Built for serious off-road performance and long-haul comfort, the Land Cruiser features a twin-turbocharged 2.4L hybrid powertrain that delivers 326 hp and 465 lbs.-ft. of torque, a rugged body-on-frame construction, and seating for 7 with available premium leather seats. It comes with standard 4WD with Crawl Control to take on any landscape.
Full-Size 3-Row: Sequoia
The Toyota Sequoia seats up to 8 and features a power-folding 3rd row that slides forward or back to customize cargo space. The cargo shelf system helps you stay organized when you pack in up to 86.9 cu. ft. of stuff. Its 437-hp twin-turbocharged 2.4L hybrid V6 powertrain, available panoramic moonroof, and Toyota Safety Sense® show off how well-rounded it is. If you regularly travel with a large group or need the towing capacity to match, the Sequoia is a strong choice.
Midsize 3-Row: Grand Highlander and Highlander
The Grand Highlander is Toyota’s newer midsize offering, slotting in just above the Highlander with a longer wheelbase and more 2nd-row legroom than the standard Highlander, though both seat up to 8. The Grand Highlander offers up to 97.5 cu. ft. of cargo space, while the standard Highlander comes in with 84.3 cu. ft. and fold-flat rear seats. The Grand Highlander suited well to growing families and taller passengers.
Midsize 2-Row: 4Runner and Crown Signia
The Toyota 4Runner is a midsize, body-on-frame SUV designed for the off-road enthusiast. It features a 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, options for part-time or full-time 4WD with Multi-Terrain® Select, and a locking rear differential on higher trims. The Toyota Crown Signia, on the other hand, leans toward a more refined, car-like driving experience. Its standard hybrid powertrain that gives you 38 MPG combined, is equipped with electronic all-wheel drive as standard, features a 12.3” touchscreen, up to 68.8 cu. ft. of cargo area, and a standard panoramic glass roof. While they’re sized similarly, the 4Runner skews more rugged.
Compact Two-Row: RAV4 Hybrid and RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV)
The RAV4 is one of Toyota’s most well-known and widely available compact SUVs. Now with a standard hybrid powertrain, it delivers 47 MPG in the city and 40 on the highway, 236 hp, and both front-wheel and AWD options. It brings a generous cargo space of nearly 38 cu. ft., and advanced standard safety features as standard like Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert. Its rugged Woodland trim speaks to the serious adventurer. Additionally, there’s a plug-in hybrid powertrain as well, that lets you drive about 50 miles on electric power alone. Both models seat 5 and remain among the most practical options in Toyota’s SUV range.
Subcompact: Corolla Cross
The Corolla Cross is a subcompact SUV that shares its name with Toyota’s iconic sedan. Its 2.0L 4-cylinder engine delivers 169 hp, up to 32 MPG combined, and features like LED lighting, an 8” touchscreen, and a comfortable 5-passenger interior. The hybrid variant delivers 46 MPG in the city and 39 on the highway, making it a great fit for drivers who want SUV versatility in a more manageable, fuel-efficient package.
The Smallest Toyota SUV: the All-Electric C-HR
The Toyota C-HR earns the title of smallest Toyota SUV in the current lineup, boasting an electric powertrain with a 287-mile range, standard all-wheel drive, and a 0-to-60 time of under 5 seconds thanks to its intense 338 hp. Its brawny style complements urban-friendly dimensions, and with its available high-end features like HomeLink® digital rearview mirror and premium JBL® audio system add to its futuristic feel. If you’re looking for the smallest Toyota SUV that still delivers on quality and technology, the C-HR is it.
