The Porte was introduced in July 2004, but is only available in Japan, so it is only produced withright-hand drive. The Porte is based on thefirst generation Vitzsubcompact car and is made in 4-seater and 5-seater versions.
It comes with either a 1.3-litre or 1.5-litregasoline engine, withautomatic transmission only, and with eitherfront-wheel drive orfour-wheel drive. It is similar in concept to the 2002 Peugeot Sésame concept and the slightly smallerPeugeot 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.

In July 2012, the Porte was redesigned and for this generation, it introduced theToyota Spade (Japanese:トヨタ・スペイド,Hepburn:Toyota Supeido) twin model, which sported a different front and rear design, as well as a slightly different interior colour. The second generation Porte is sold atToyota Store andToyopet Store dealerships while the Spade is sold atCorolla Store andNetz dealerships across Japan, as well as Hong Kong and Macau, starting in August 2015.
Although, it still comes with the 1.3-litre1NR-FE engine or an improved 1.5-litre1NZ-FE engine, mated with the Super CVT-i (Continuously Variable Transmission-intelligent) automatic transmission, an availableSmart Stop feature for the 1.5-litre variants has afuel efficiency of 20.6 km/L (58 mpg‑imp; 48 mpg‑US) under theJC08 test cycle (equivalent to 113 g/km (6.4 oz/mi) of CO2 emissions) of the JapaneseMinistry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT).[5] The two different engine sizes gave Japanese drivers a choice as to which annualroad 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-litre2NR-FKE engine was used for front-wheel drive models. This version has a fuel efficiency of 22.2 km/L (63 mpg‑imp; 52 mpg‑US) under the JC08 test cycle.[6]
Toyota stopped the production of the Porte and Spade in December 2020.[1][2]
