All cars get better gas mileage on the highway than in the city, but if you're an urban dweller, there's no doubt you want a car that can go the distance on the city streets. Toyotas are perfect not only for extended road trips, but also for the daily commute, making them an ideal choice for city drivers. If you're in the market for a new car that meets your urban driving needs, consider the following models. 1. Toyota Prius If gas mileage if your chief concern, you might want to consider this popular hybrid. The 2015 Toyota Prius gets an astounding 51 miles per gallon in the city, so you can be confident that you're slashing your gas budget significantly. The Prius is also compact and maneuverable, allowing you to whip the vehicle into the tightest parking spaces. Although the Prius is small in size, it's big on features, offering an impressive cargo capacity, enhanced safety options, and eco-monitoring technology that allows you to track the car's energy usage. more 2. Toyota Camry Arguably the brand's most popular model, the Camry offers a little something for everyone. This stylish sedan features a sporty interior and an impressive V6 performance, but its classy exterior is right at home among business elites. Drivers opting for the Camry Hybrid can enjoy 40 miles per gallon in the city, making it a nice compromise between the Prius and Venza. The Camry also features innovative safety features such as blind-spot monitoring, a backup camera, and lane departure alert, helping you navigate the daily commute with ease. 3. Toyota Yaris This Euro-inspired subcompact car is a smart performer on city streets. Thanks to its small size and thoughtful design, the Yaris is maneuverable, fun to drive, and a cinch to park. It boasts great visibility and gas mileage -- an estimated 37 miles per gallon in the city -- making it ideal for scenic drives around town. And unlike many subcompact vehicles, the Yaris doesn't skimp on safety features. Drivers can feel secure with nine airbags, a tire pressure monitoring system, whiplash-injury-reducing seats, anti-lock brakes, brake assist, smart stop technology, and traction control. Whether you prefer a classic sedan, a functional crossover, a compact vehicle, or an eco-friendly hybrid, Toyota offers an impressive lineup of city-ready vehicles designed to keep up with your on-the-go lifestyle. Be sure to test drive one of these models and experience the thrill of city driving for yourself.   Image via Toyota

Inside it has tons of cargo space for all the essentials or extra passengers, while keeping an above-average level of comfort. Another reason that people opt for the Prius is that it has great fuel economy, averaging 44 mpg on the highway and 40 mpg in the city.
