The Toyota Sienna is a minivan, sure... but don't let it fool you. It shies so far away from the typical minivan stereotypes that we almost don't know what to call it. This Orlando Toyota is sleek, stylish, and both tech- and performance-driven to give you a safe and unbeatable driving experience every time you and the family leave home. We're obsessed with the exterior, but today we're here to talk about the flip side of the coin - here are some of the things we love most about the 2023 Toyota Sienna interior. The 2023 Toyota Sienna interior is convenient, stylish, and connected First, let's talk about convenience. We all want a ride that looks cool - and we'll get to that - but first, let's talk about what makes the 2023 Toyota Sienna interior such a perfect family solution. Fabric, SofTex, SofTex Sport, or leather-trimmed seats throughout in a variety of colors Power adjustable driver and front passenger seats, as well as heated front seats The option of a bench seat or reclining, folding, sliding captain's chairs in the middle row (and the captain's chairs have a stowable center seat so you still keep your seating capacity at 8) Split and stow third-row seats to maximize your cargo space in the rear Second and third-row sunshades as well as four-zone automatic climate control Driver Easy Speak so you can easily be heard throughout the cabin And tons of cupholders - 18, to be exact. Who doesn't love cupholders? Plus, it comes in cool, sophisticated colors and offers accents like silver stitching, wood-grain or satin-grain style accents, and more. Now let's talk tech. Yes, this Orlando Toyota is a family vehicle, but it's packed with technology. Here are some of the features you'll find in the 2023 Toyota Sienna interior: An integrated backup camera and a digital rearview mirror with HomeLink Universal Transceiver A 1080P HD entertainment center in the back with an 11.6" display, HDMI inputs, and two sets of wireless headphones Qi wireless charging for devices The Smart Key System with a push button start as well as kick-to-open dual sliding doors and cargo door A 10" color Head-Up Display A USB media port and 6 USB charge ports Plus, you can opt for Premium Audio and Dynamic Navigation, which gives you access to a 9" touchscreen interface, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, Sirius XM Satellite Radio, Bluetooth wireless streaming, and more. You can even up the ante with a premium JBL sound system. And we can't skimp on the safety features that the 2023 Toyota Sienna interior brings to the table. Here's what you can expect when you take a test drive at Toyota of Orlando: An advanced airbag system with ten airbags A panoramic view monitor that gives you a 360-degree view of your surroundings, as well as a curb view for parking Child protector rear door locks 3-point seatbelts for all seating positions and five LATCH locations for car seats and booster seats Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 Front and rear parking assist with automatic braking A blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert and rear cross-traffic braking An anti-theft system with an alarm and an engine immobilizer The 2023 Toyota Sienna interior is truly ready for anything and everything your busy life throws at it. 2023 Toyota Sienna Colors If you want a new Toyota that stands out on the road, this is a good way to go about it - 2023 Toyota Sienna colors span a wide variety of hues and truly offer something for everyone. When all is said and done, this Orlando Toyota comes in ten different colors. Here's the breakdown of what's available for 2023 Toyota Sienna colors. Celestial Silver Metallic: This color is a shimmery silver metallic that's anything but basic. Ice Cap: Ice Cap is a stark white that looks sharp and crisp, and lends a nice contrast to the wheels and badging. Windchill Pearl: If you're aiming for a white Toyota but want a little something extra, Windchill Pearl is your go-to. It's a rich, pearlescent white that's immensely popular on pretty much every Toyota model out there. Cement: Cement is a cool and edgy gray that's free of shimmer for something classic but at the same time, standout. Predawn Gray Mica: This eye-catching gray is darker than cement and offers a dimensional appearance thanks to the mica in the paint. Midnight Black Metallic: Have you ever seen a Midnight Black Metallic Toyota in the sun? You'll thank us later - it's a classic black that comes to life when illuminated due to the shimmery metal flakes in the paint. Ruby Flare Pearl: Red looks amazing on any vehicle, but this particular shade of red is an eye-catching option. Microscopic ceramic particles in the paint give it a multidimensional finish that stands out in the sun. Sunset Bronze Mica: This unique hue stands far apart from the silvers, whites, and blacks you so commonly see on cars - it's a richly hued bronze with a mica finish that turns heads. Cypress: When was the last time you saw a green car? Green wasn't popular for some time, but we think it's on the up and up with this new hue in the lineup. Cypress is a rich green color that's reminiscent of an evergreen forest. Blueprint: You can't have a full lineup without shades of blue, and Blueprint is front and center. This royal blue pushes other navy-like colors out of the way and commands attention with its dynamic hue. And let's not forget the interior, either. The 2023 Toyota Sienna colors inside of the van offer something for everyone, including hues like: Gray Chateau Graphite Moonstone Noble Brown Black See for yourself!

The Toyota Camry is an icon in the world of Toyota. It's been a best-selling fan favorite for decades and has evolved into a vehicle that - with all of its different trim-levels - offers something for everyone. You can get it in a classic LE, a sporty SE, a luxurious XLE, a hybrid, and even a special new Nightshade Edition. Today our Orlando Toyota dealership is here to address a question we commonly hear when it comes to the sportier versions of the 2023 Toyota Camry - what's the difference between the Toyota Camry SE and the Toyota Camry Nightshade? What is the Camry SE, and how is the Camry Nightshade different? First of all, the SE is a permanent (at least for now) member of the lineup. It's a special trim level that denotes a sportier appearance than its siblings (like the LE and XLE). The Nightshade, on the other hand, is a special edition that pops up in some years on the SE model and isn't available all the time. Now that you've got the basics, let's get down to the specifics when it comes to the Toyota Camry SE vs the Toyota Camry Nightshade. As we mentioned, the Toyota Camry Nightshade is a special edition that pops up on the SE models every now and then. If you choose to go for this unique option in 2023, you'll get features like: Three paint colors - Midnight Black, White, and Reservoir Blue A black front grille with Sport Mesh A black rear spoiler Black mirror caps Black exterior badging Black-trimmed headlights and taillights Black window trim 19" bronze aluminum alloy wheels And you'll be able to get a Nightshade Edition on the 2023 Toyota Camry SE front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and hybrid models. Basically, the Nightshade Edition just takes the aesthetics of the already-sporty SE model up a notch and adds a number of blacked-out accessories (like badging, a spoiler, etc.) to create an edgy look.  You can only get it in a limited number of special paint colors and the Nightshade offers special bronze wheels that you can't get on an SE. All of the performance features are the same. What do the 2023 Toyota Camry SE and Toyota Camry Nightshade share? However, both the Toyota Camry SE and Toyota Camry Nightshade share a lot of features since the Nightshade is basically an SE with aesthetic enhancements. Both models share highlights like: Bi-LED combo headlights and LED daytime running lights Sport side rocker panels Dual chrome-tipped exhaust A sport SofTex trimmed interior with 8-way adjustable power driver's seat A leather-trimmed 3-spoke steering wheel with paddle shifters, audio buttons, Bluetooth controls, and more A 3-mode drive switch (Eco, Normal, and Sport) The Smart Key System with push button start An electric parking brake Dynamic Radar Cruise Control Dual-zone automatic climate control A 7" multi-information display and a 7" touchscreen audio system interface with Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, Sirius XM Satellite Radio, and more Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+ Star Safety System Safety Connect Services And as we mentioned, you can get both the SE and Nightshade models in front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and hybrid options so you can truly customize your drive time to your individual needs. Regardless of which one you're angling for, Toyota of Orlando can help! Shop both the 2023 Toyota Camry SE AND the 2023 Toyota Camry Nightshade Edition in person (plus a huge number of other Toyota Camry options) at our dealership.

It's full-blown spooky season and the weather has finally turned, so it's the perfect time to be out and about looking for haunted happenings. Toyota of Orlando is here with a list of haunted spots in downtown Orlando for you to hit this weekend - don't forget your flashlights. Twelve haunted places in downtown Orlando where you can ghost hunt Hamburger Mary’s: This popular restaurant is home to the ghost of a little girl from the 1800s. She’s known to tap on the windows, wave at customers, and skip up and down the street. Greenwood Cemetery: This is one of the oldest places in Orlando and houses some of Orlando’s most prominent former residents, like Mayor Bob Carr and Joseph Bumby. Visitors report everything from ghostly children playing with flashlights to Confederate soldiers roaming the fields. Orange County Regional History Center: This used to be an Orlando courthouse. Serial killer Ted Bundy was convicted here for the murder of Kimberly Leach and rumor has it he never left and can be seen in the corridors. Visitors can see where Bundy carved his name into the desk where he sat during the trial and report apparitions and objects moving on their own. Lake Lucerne: Locals report seeing a mysterious woman in white who appears after dark under an old oak tree and then disappears. Lake Eola: Lake Eola is reportedly haunted by a furry friend - a friendly, small, brown terrier runs and plays on the lake's eastern shore before disappearing. Elijah Hand Building: This building used to be a funeral home back in the 1800s, and apparently business was so good that Elijah Hand had to start storing bodies upstairs in his furniture store. People report objects being thrown and a spooky Lady in White sighting. Rogers Building: This building used to be a gentleman’s club - it was named after Gordon Rogers, and he and his wife apparently liked it so much they decided to hang around. Their spirits can be seen in the second-floor windows and first-floor art gallery. The intersection of Wall Street and Court Avenue: A jail used to be located here, and employees from the old Kit Kat Club said bottles would fly off shelves and a female apparition in all black could be seen on the rear staircase. Ceviche: This popular restaurant used to be both a hotel and a church throughout its history. Visitors report seeing a 19th-century woman standing in front of a mirror and a priest outside the building, and feeling hands pulling at their clothes. The Kress Building: Now home to Kres Chophouse, this building is considered one of the best hotspots for paranormal activity. Visitors and employees recount ghostly apparitions, mysterious footsteps, and more. (Formerly) Floor and Decor in Colonial Plaza: This building was part of a large mall shopping plaza in the 1970s. The mall was torn down in the 1990s, but a construction worker walking through the building heard voices telling him not to “tear down their home”. Oddly enough, the building still stands today, but not many tenants stay long. Orlando Executive Airport: This used to be an Orlando army base and housed almost 750 German prisoners during World War II. Travelers in the airport sometimes hear foreign speech at night. From our Orlando Toyota family to yours, happy haunting and happy Halloween!

When it comes to electric cars, they're certainly not for everyone. For some drivers, a hybrid or plug-in hybrid is a better option based on their lifestyle and driving habits. However, for the right drivers, the benefits of electric cars can make a big difference both in their day-to-day commute and in their long-term ownership. Toyota of Orlando is here to explain the benefits of electric cars so you can decide if it's time for you to take the plunge. The main benefits of electric cars 1. Lower "fuel" costs. It can be cheaper to drive an electric car than a gasoline car because "fuel" costs are cheaper. Gas is expensive right now, and depending on where you live and how you charge, it may be cheaper to go electric and use electricity as your fuel. Here are a few things to keep in mind: Charging at home is a lot cheaper than charging at a public charging station (and more convenient, especially if you do it overnight) Your fuel costs will depend on how much electricity is where you live and how much your bill goes up, so do your research before you buy It can be cheaper to charge your car overnight when there's less demand for electricity 2. Less maintenance. Another benefit of electric cars is that there's a lot less maintenance that needs to be taken care of. You won't need oil changes, spark plugs, tune-ups, transmission service, fuel pump repairs, fuel injection system service, etc. because there's no internal combustion taking place. Electric cars have fewer parts under the hood, so your maintenance costs should be about half of what you'd pay for a gasoline-powered Orlando Toyota. 3. May offer a cleaner driving solution. There's a lot of debate about whether or not electric cars are better for the environment. In some ways (local emissions) they are, and in some ways (non-local emissions and battery production), they aren't. Do research to see where your electricity is coming from and what it's fueled by, and this should help you decide if your new Orlando Toyota EV is as clean as you'd like it to be. 4. Quiet. Electric cars are much quieter inside the cabin. There's no noisy internal combustion engine to contend with, so it's a peaceful driving experience every time you get behind the wheel. Same goes for hybrids and plug-in hybrids! 5. Tax breaks. Did you know that you may qualify for tax breaks if you drive an electric Toyota? Check state and federal laws to see which tax breaks are available for you, or ask your accountant to look into them to see what savings you're eligible for. Let Toyota of Orlando help you decide if the benefits of electric cars are enough for you to make the switch Obviously, there are benefits to driving an electric car. However, as we said, it's not for everyone. If you're unsure, why not let our Toyota of Orlando sales associates help you figure it out? They can help you decide between a gas car, a hybrid, a plug-in hybrid, and a true electric car to get you the best new Toyota for your drive time needs.

Toyota of Orlando has the details - see what to expect in terms of production and when you'll see a 2023 Toyota Sequoia on our lot. The 2023 Toyota Sequoia is headed to Toyota of Orlando The 2023 Toyota Sequoia is being manufactured right here in the U.S. at the San Antonio, Texas plant. Toyota invested $391 million to open this plant back in 2019, and its claim to fame has always been Toyota trucks (the Tundra and Tacoma). Manufacturing the Toyota Sequoia kicks off a brand-new chapter in the plant's history, and new manufacturing techniques were introduced, including laser welding technology and a process that allowed workers to stamp the largest piece of sheet metal in Toyota history. Additionally, to celebrate and commemorate this new chapter of production, Toyota Texas donated $100,000 to the San Antonio River Foundation and the San Antonio Parks Foundation. The donation will help with the preservation and also planting of new trees. So when will the 2023 Toyota Sequoia be at Toyota of Orlando? Good question.

It's still large enough to accommodate up to 8 people and has a large cargo area as well. The interior of this Orlando Toyota is trimmed in options like SofTex and leather for plush comfort, and comes with highlights like heated seats, three-zone automatic climate control, a panoramic moonroof, and optional reclining captain's chairs in the second row. The exterior is almost unrecognizable from previous generations of this Toyota SUV. It's boasting sharp angles and a chiseled design, as well as features like automatic running boards, 18-22" alloy wheels in various designs, premium LED lighting, and ten paint colors to choose from, including hues like Solar Octane, Ice Cap, Smoked Mesquite, and Army Green.

Mice are cute - we said what we said. Their cuteness factor, however, drops significantly when they're living inside your Orlando Toyota. Mice, like any other pest in your car, can cause significant damage to your electrical system, your carpet and upholstery, and your vent system. That's why the Toyota of Orlando service center experts are here with tips to help you figure out how to get mice out of a car. Why do mice like to live inside cars? First, let's talk about signs that mice are living in your car: You're having issues getting your car started or with anything electrical (mice may have chewed through the wires) You notice holes in your car seats or missing chunks from your insulation or foam (they're chewing on it) You find mice droppings inside your Orlando Toyota You notice a bad smell (usually from droppings, urine, or a dead mouse - gag) You find a mouse nest inside your vehicle or under the hood Mice love the inside of cars - not only is it dry, warm, and a great hiding spot from predators, but it also is a nice place to build a nest. Plus, a lot of new wiring systems are made with soy-based wiring insulation, which is extremely appealing (and tasty) to mice. Not to mention, if your car is less than clean, they can find a feast in terms of crumbs and trash inside of it, which won't make them likely to leave any time soon. How to get mice out of a car Once you know that mice are in fact taking up residence in your car, it's time to figure out how to get mice OUT of your car. Here are our top Toyota of Orlando tips: Turn on the heat and put your car out in the sun. Much like humans, mice don't like extreme temps. You can basically force them out with this method. Honk your horn - loud noises are likely to startle them and encourage them to vacate the premises. Use mice repellant. You can buy it at a home improvement store like Home Depot or Lowes, and some people even say that mice are repelled by peppermint oil. You can try soaking some cotton balls in it and leaving them around your vehicle. Set mousetraps. It's a last resort, but it is effective in getting mice out of your car. Again, you can find these at a home improvement store. How to keep mice out of a car Now that you know how to get mice out of a car, it's time to discuss how to KEEP them out of your car in the future. Here are some easy tips: Park inside of a garage if you can. Also, avoid parking near food sources for mice, like dumpsters, trash cans, and bird feeders. Always close your doors, windows, and sunroof when you're not in the car. Use your car regularly. The longer it sits without being driven, the more likely it is to have a mouse infestation. Keep your car clean. Vacuum and wipe it routinely, and be sure to take out any trash immediately and clean up spills as soon as possible. If you do sustain damage from mice living inside your car, reach out to your car insurance company. Some comprehensive policies will cover this type of damage so you only have to pay the deductible. This is important because if mice start chewing up your Orlando Toyota's wiring, it can easily cost you thousands of dollars to repair. And if a mouse gets inside your car's vent system, your dash may have to be completely disassembled to be cleaned - mouse droppings can make you extremely sick.
