Toyota Porte

The , the plural Italian word for "door", is a mini MPV produced by the Japanese automaker Toyota from 2004 to 2020 that features an electric-powered sliding door on the passenger side, similar in approach to the Isis. The driver's door is of the conventional swing-open type.

First generation (AP10; 2004)

The Porte was introduced in July 2004, but is only available in Japan, so it is only produced with right-hand drive. The Porte is based on the first generation Vitz subcompact car and is made in 4-seater and 5-seater versions.

It comes with either a 1.3-litre or 1.5-litre gasoline engine, with automatic transmission only, and with either front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. It is similar in concept to the 2002 Peugeot Sésame concept and the slightly smaller Peugeot 1007 which have electric-powered sliding doors on both sides. However, there is only a sliding door on the left, passenger side of the Porte.

Second generation (XP140; 2012)

In July 2012, the Porte was redesigned and for this generation, it introduced the twin model, which sported a different front and rear design, as well as a slightly different interior colour. The second generation Porte is sold at Toyota Store and Toyopet Store dealerships while the Spade is sold at Corolla Store and Netz dealerships across Japan. Beginning in August 2015 the Spade was also exported to Hong Kong and Macau.

While the Spade's name is transliterated the same way as is the suit of cards, and the badging includes an image of the spades symbol, the name is actually slightly different in Japanese: rather than . This is because the name in katakana is actually a portmanteau of the English words "space" and "wide".

Although, it still comes with the 1.3-litre 1NR-FE engine or an improved 1.5-litre 1NZ-FE engine, mated with the Super CVT-i (Continuously Variable Transmission-intelligent) automatic transmission, an available Smart Stop feature for the 1.5-litre variants has a fuel efficiency of under the JC08 test cycle (equivalent to of CO₂ emissions) of the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT). The two different engine sizes gave Japanese drivers a choice as to which annual road tax obligation they were willing to pay; vehicles with the larger engine were equipped at a higher level than the lower trim level in compensation.

In July 2015, the 1.3-litre engine option was dropped and a newer 1.5-litre 2NR-FKE engine was used for front-wheel drive models. This version has a fuel efficiency of under the JC08 test cycle.

Toyota stopped the production of the Porte and Spade in December 2020.
