Most car owners know that maintaining any vehicle is super important, saving money and making the car last longer. Some vehicles are easier to maintain than others, and Toyota is known as a reliable brand, and their vehicles don’t need a lot of maintenance. Unsurprisingly, Toyota rules the list of the most affordable cars to maintain. Throughout ten years of ownership, Toyota has made it on the list, which is why customers are loyal to this brand, amongst many other reasons. Every Toyota car on the list was either a sedan or hatchback. 

Toyota Avalon

Seven Toyota models are listed for the top list of individual cars and to start in sixth place is the Avalon, a full-size sedan. The Avalon starts at around $36,500 (plus destination fee) and has a 10-year maintenance price of $4,407. Unfortunately, the Avalon has been discontinued for the 2023 model year. The vehicle that replaces the Avalon is the 2023 Toyota Crown, and it’s already winning awards. 

Toyota Camry

The Toyota Camry is a mid-size sedan that starts at around $26,000 (plus destination fee) with a 10-year maintenance cost of $4,203. This vehicle is excellent for daily drives and is a reliable and trustworthy car to purchase. The 2022 Camry hybrid is a fan favorite among customers with its affordable cost and reliable features. 

Toyota Prius Prime

The new and exciting Prius Prime is the plug-in hybrid model of the Prius and is a fan favorite. The Prius Prime has a starting price of $28,000 (plus destination fee) and a 10-year maintenance cost of $4,098. This plug-in hybrid is very efficient and is the only hybrid with over 130 MPGe. The vehicle gets 133 MPGe combined, and because it’s a PHEV, it only drives with battery power. The Prius Prime’s 8.8-kWh permits drivers to go 25 miles in battery-only mode.

Toyota Corolla

Another popular car model for Toyota is the Corolla, which has a starting price of $21,500 (plus destination fee) with a 10-year maintenance cost of $4,087. The Corolla sedan is another reliable and trustworthy car. 

Toyota Yaris

The 2020 Yaris is a subcompact sedan and is very affordable to maintain, even though it is discontinued after that model year and has a starting price of $17,000 (plus destination fee) with a 10-year maintenance cost of $4,027. 

Toyota Prius

Hands down, the cheapest car to maintain is the Toyota Prius, and it has even recently been upgraded with a whole new exterior and interior look. The cool thing about the new Prius is that even with all its updated features and sleeker new look, it still stays loyal to its original roots the customers grew to love. The 2022 Prius has a starting price of $25,000 (plus destination fee) and a 10-year maintenance cost of $4,008. The fuel economy is 56 mpg combined, which allows owners to save more money in the future. The 2023 Prius ‘Reborn’ hybrid hatchback is taking the world by storm with a sleek new look, and customers can’t wait to get their hands on it.
