The {{nihongo|'''Toyota Porte'''|トヨタ・ポルテ|Toyota Porute|lead=yes}}, 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 (car)|sliding door]] on the passenger side, similar in approach to the [[Toyota Isis|Isis]]. The driver's door is of the conventional swing-open type.

The Porte was introduced in July 2004, available only in Japan, and therefore only produced with [[Left- and right-hand traffic|right-hand drive]]. The Porte is based on the [[Toyota Vitz (XP10)|first generation Vitz]] [[subcompact car]] and is made in 4-seater and 5-seater versions.

The vehicle is powered by either a 1.3-litre or 1.5-litre [[Petrol engine|gasoline]] engine, with [[automatic transmission]] only, and with either [[front-wheel drive]] or [[four-wheel drive]]. It was 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.

In July 2012, the Porte was redesigned and the {{nihongo|'''Toyota Spade'''|トヨタ・スペイド|Toyota Supeido|lead=yes}} twin model was also introduced, sporting a different front and rear design, as well as a slightly different interior colour. The second-generation Porte was sold at ''[[Toyota Store]]'' and ''Toyopet Store'' dealerships while the Spade was 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 [[Spades (suit)|the suit of cards]], and the badging includes an image of the spade symbol, the name is actually slightly different in Japanese: {{nihongo||スペイド|supeido}} rather than {{nihongo||スペード|supēdo}}. This is because the name in [[katakana]] is actually a [[portmanteau]] of the English words "space" and "wide".<ref>{{cite web | url = https://toyota.jp/ucar/catalog/brand-TOYOTA/car-SPADE/#models-car-1-car-10 |title=スペイド（トヨタ）の車両情報 |trans-title= Spade (Toyota) vehicle information |publisher=Toyota |location=Japan |language=ja }}</ref>

In addition to the 1.3-litre ''[[Toyota NR engine#1NR-FE|1NR-FE]]'' engine, an improved 1.5-litre ''[[Toyota NZ engine#1NZ-FE|1NZ-FE]]'' engine was also introduced, mated with the Super CVT-i (Continuously Variable Transmission-intelligent) automatic transmission, an available [[Start-stop system|Smart Stop feature]] for the 1.5-litre variants has a [[fuel efficiency]] of {{convert|20.6|km/L|abbr=on}} under the [[Fuel economy in automobiles#Japan|JC08 test cycle]] (equivalent to {{convert|113|g/km|abbr=on}} of {{CO2}} emissions) of the Japanese [[Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism]] (MLIT).<ref>{{cite press release |title=TMC Launches Redesigned 'Porte' and New 'Spade' Compact Minivans in Japan|url=http://www2.toyota.co.jp/en/news/12/07/0723.html |publisher=Toyota |location=Japan |date=2012-07-23 |access-date=2016-01-02}}</ref> The two different engine sizes gave Japanese drivers a choice as to which annual [[Road tax#Japan|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 ''[[Toyota NR engine#2NR-FKE|2NR-FKE]]'' engine was used for front-wheel drive models. This version has a fuel efficiency of {{convert|22.2|km/L|abbr=on}} under the JC08 test cycle.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://toyota.jp/spade/performance/performance/ |title=トヨタスペイド {{!}} 燃費・走行性能 {{!}} 走行性能 |trans-title=Toyota Spade {{!}} fuel efficiency and driving performance {{!}} driving performance |publisher=Toyota |location=Japan |language=ja |year=2015 |access-date=2016-01-02}}</ref>
