This page lists 98 cars that start with T, from “Tacoma” to “Tiger”. The list covers pickups, SUVs, minivans, city cars, sedans and sports cars from brands around the world. You can use it to find a model for daily commuting, family trips, work, off-roading or weekend fun, and to see how car design has changed since the 1930s.
Cars are road vehicles with their own engine or motor that carry people and cargo from place to place. Some become cultural symbols, like the East German “Trabant”, whose plastic-like body made it a famous sight before the fall of the Berlin Wall.
