This was the best sold car in the world for months, so I guess you could say it is popular everywhere. Has a decent package of hybrid, Japanese quality and space. My father used to have one; not really my cup of tea.

It’s a reliable, spacious and nice looking car with reasonable fuel economy and the PHEV version has quite a lot of punch too. Coming from the most popular car brand in Finland.

For some reason Finns like Toyota from the 1980s on.

Because Toyota and people tend to like SUVs / crossovers these says

Also factor in it’s in kind of a sweet spot for company cars, as the PHEV has „low“ emissions and the price is just in the range most companies offer

Not just in Helsinki, it’s popular pretty much all over the country

It’s one of the most sold cars in the world recently, and Toyota is seen as a reliable and cost efficient brand in Finland. No more to it than that I guess.

Is there a statistic to this or is it just because you think about the car you notice them?

It is one of few Toyotas that is still made in Japan

Toyota makes stable cars. After a few years it’s still in same condition you bought it, so you get to have a new car for years. In comparison to e.g. italian cars which tend not to pass first inspection.

Toyota = best value for your money.

toyota is still living on a reputation earned in the 80’s to early 2000’s so cars are both popular and quite expensive second-hand.
Sadly nowadays they are mostly just low on features compared to similar models of other brands while the reliability has dropped massively.

Finns trust Toyota because those cars survive the brutal winters

It’s cheap AWD and has reliable reputation.
In our Search and Rescue group I am the only one who doesn’t have one. I have Subaru 😅

Interior size, fuel economy, price ?

Toyota is popular in Finland and SUVs are also popular.
I live next to a school and at least 60% of the cars parents come to pick their kids are SUVs.
Last time i saw a lot of SUVs was 10 year ago with a lot of Nissan Quashqai’s in Finland, but now you don’t see those that much anymore.
I have Toyota Avensis wagon now, because i had a Avensis sedan for 12 years and had no issues ever only had to swap the parts from abrasion and people crashing into it in the parking lot.
So in 12 years most expensive fix was maybe 300-400€.
