Most college students don't have the time or the funds to stop at the pump regularly, so the Prius seems like a good bet. Because the Prius is a hybrid, it gets up to 56 mpg so your child will be able to go a long time without having to find a gas station. There are also 50.7 cubic feet of cargo space, so there is plenty of room for all your student's stuff for the fall semester. Every trim of the Prius comes with an 11.6-inch multimedia display that comes with Apple CarPlay, so getting music is a snap. Finally, Toyota's Safety Sense has a ton of safety features, so your pride and joy will be well protected.

Like the Toyota Prius, the Camry also comes with a hybrid engine that allows for a terrific fuel economy at 41 mpg. There is also standard all-wheel-drive, which is perfect for bad weather days. Android Auto comes standard, so your college student will have no problem cycling through their music. Perhaps the coolest thing about the Camry is the 10-inch color Head-Up Display that gives your child important information such as speed and turn-by-turn directions. Finally, Toyota's Safety Sense adds essential safety features, such as Pedestrian Detection.

The Toyota Yaris is one of the best technologically equipped Toyota's, which is excellent news for your college student. Included are features such as keyless entry, two USB ports, and a 7-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth and wireless technology. Safety-wise, the Yaris comes with features such as a Low-Speed Pre-Collision System and Active Safety System so your college student can carry on with their driving without worry. Standard on some trims is a Smart Key System with Push Button Start, which comes in handy if your child ever loses their keys. Much like other models, the Yaris is great on gas as it gets up to 40 mpg.

With the Toyota Corolla comes all the latest tech, including an 8-inch touchscreen with standard Android Auto compatibility that works well with your college students Android phone. One of the most notable things about the Toyota Corolla is how well it handles, which means that sharp corners are easy to take even if at higher speeds. Bright LED headlights are aligned in the front, so if your college student tends to do a lot of night driving, they will be able to see everything that's in front of them. Toyota also equips the Corolla with a Safety Sense 2.0 system that comes with features such as Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist and a superior Cruise Control that is specifically designed for highway use.
