The latest Toyota news for September

September is in full swing and a new round of Toyota news has arrived with the onslaught of pumpkin-spiced everything. Check out the latest updates - our Orlando Toyota dealership has the scoop. Will the 2023 Toyota Sequoia follow in the Tundra's footsteps? The automotive world has been abuzz with rumors surrounding the new 2022 Toyota Tundra. So far we know that it's completely redesigned inside and out and is swapping its 5.7L V8 engine for a more efficient twin-turbo V6, and could likely offer a hybrid model as well. However, no one has really taken the time to consider what this engine update could mean for other models that shared that same 5.7L V8, like the Orlando Toyota Sequoia. Now speculators are thinking that the 2023 Toyota Sequoia might mimic the new Tundra and be completely redesigned as well as sport the new, more efficient V6 engine. Only time will tell! 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross officially for sale The new 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross - a sporty crossover recently unveiled - is headed to an Orlando Toyota dealership near you. If you're in the market for a small SUV that's fuel-efficient, sporty, decked out with the latest technology, and full of safety features, this is it. It should be arriving at Toyota of Orlando soon, and you can follow us on social media for updates OR call and let our internet sales team know you're interested so they can contact you once it officially hits our lot. 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser drivers have a long wait ahead If you live overseas and were planning on putting a new Toyota Land Cruiser in your garage, you may have a wait ahead of you. Like, a long wait. Rumor has it that the high demand for this redesigned Toyota SUV (Toyota has received over 20,000 orders so far) combined with the chip shortage is resulting in up to a four-year wait for delivery. It'll be worth it, but dang. Toyota to invest $13.6 billion in new EV batteries Toyota has always been committed to clean performance (they did introduce the first major hybrid to the market, after all). They're taking it a step further, though, vowing to invest $13.6 billion into batteries and battery production to work toward their goal of carbon neutrality. They want to both improve the quality of the batteries as well as make the production more flexible (and increase it by 50%), resulting in a reduction of battery costs of up to 30%. This will make EVs and hybrids more affordable and more readily available to consumers. 2022 Toyota 4Runner TRD Sport coming to market soon An all-new trim of the 2022 Toyota 4Runner is coming to market soon - get ready for the TRD Sport to arrive at Toyota of Orlando! Rocking a new bright green paint color - Lime Rush - as well as new safety technology and enhanced performance capabilities (like X-REAS suspension and 4WD), it's ready to take on anything on OR off the pavement and look good doing it.

Toyota News

Toyota News for the week of 8/30

What's new in the world of Toyota news this week? Two new hydrogen-powered cars, Ford benchmarking the Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro, Toyota Tundra expected to stack up to competition, and fuel-cell-powered big rigs are all making headlines, and our Orlando Toyota dealership is here to cover it. Read on! What's new in Toyota news this week? Toyota to introduce two new hydrogen-powered cars to the market Two new hydrogen-powered cars will be coming to market in a few years if headlines are right - supposedly, Toyota will be introducing a hydrogen model of both the Toyota Prius and the Toyota Corolla by 2023. If you recall, Toyota has a goal to reach carbon neutrality by the year 2050. This is one way of inching closer to that goal. These cars won't be like the Toyota Mirai, though, which is a fuel cell vehicle. They'll actually be more similar to gasoline-powered cars except that they'll burn hydrogen instead of gasoline. We'll keep you posted with updates but you should follow us on social media for the latest! Fuel cells for big rigs to be made at Georgetown, KY plant soon The Toyota plant in Georgetown, Kentucky plays a huge role in the manufacturing and assembly of new Toyotas sold here in the US, but they're adding yet another faction to their assembly line - fuel cells. Reports indicate that Toyota will begin producing fuel cells for zero-emission big rigs and heavy-duty commercial vehicles. Production will begin in 2023, and Tetsuo Ogawa, president and CEO of Toyota Motor North America, said “ Heavy-duty truck manufacturers will be able to buy a fully integrated and validated fuel cell electric drive system, allowing them to offer their customers an emissions-free option in the Class 8 heavy-duty segment. " The 2022 Toyota Tundra forecasted to stand up to the competition with ease We're all excited to see the new 2022 Toyota Tundra hitting our lot soon, and it's already being forecasted that this newly redesigned truck will have little issue standing up to the competition. So far it looks like it'll pull ahead in sustainability (as it's rumored that a new hybrid option will be added to the lineup), performance (offering more horsepower with its new iForce Max engine, which will offer 400 hp), and tech (as it will offer a large touchscreen interface, Apple CarPlay, JBL audio options, and more). We can't wait to see it in person at Toyota of Orlando. Ford seen benchmarking Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro Ford was recently seen benchmarking the new Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro - likely scoping out the competition to see how they can improve their own models. The good news for you? This means that this new Toyota is benchmark-worthy and the best of the best when it comes to hitting the road. Why not test drive one today?

Toyota Camry production

The latest Toyota news: Week of August 23, 2021

It's another week of Toyota news, and Toyota of Orlando is here with the latest updates about our make and the automotive industry in general. Check it out! The latest Toyota news for this week 10 million Toyota Camrys have hit the road We always knew the Toyota Camry was a winner - this Orlando Toyota is one of the most popular cars on the lot for its classic and sleek style, reliable performance, and top technology. We're not the only ones that think so, though - Toyota has officially produced its 10 millionth Camry. The white 2021 Toyota Camry SE rolled off the line at the Georgetown, Kentucky plant, and not only did it mark the 10 millionth new Toyota Camry ever made, but it also marked the 35th year of operation for this US Toyota plant. We're excited about both, and if you want to celebrate by getting behind the wheel of an Orlando Toyota Camry, you know where to look! 2022 Toyota 4Runner debuts new green paint We're big fans of the Toyota 4Runner here at Toyota of Orlando. It's rough, tough, and off-road-ready, but still possesses the sleek style, up-to-the-minute tech, and incredible safety features that you need to make it a daily driver. That's why we're even more excited that a hot new paint color is being introduced to the mix in 2022! Lime Rush will bring a bright pop of green to the TRD Pro lineup (not to be confused with Electric Lime Metallic, which is a different hue being offered on the 2022 Toyota Tacoma). You'll also be able to pick up this Orlando Toyota SUV in Super White, Midnight Black Metallic, and Magnetic Gray Metallic. Redarc customizes Toyota Tacoma into an off-road camper The Orlando Toyota Tacoma is up for everything and anything off the pavement, but it just got taken to a whole new level by Redarc, an Australian company that's making this new Toyota truck its first North American "ultimate overland adventure vehicle". This specially designed new Toyota truck will feature a camping platform with a custom alloy canopy, two dual-battery power systems, rooftop solar panels, and more. Basically, no matter where adventure takes you, you'll still have power and a dry place to sleep when you find it. Toyota wins 24 Hours of Le Mans (again) We're not surprised, but we're happy to report that Toyota has once again won the 24 Hours of Le Mans race (for the 4th consecutive time). Hitting the track was the new GR010 Hybrid race car, which was piloted by drivers Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi, and José María López. Follow Toyota of Orlando for more updates!

Orlando Toyota news

Toyota News: A new Tundra suspension, soybeans for Toyotas, and mobile collision assistance

It's time for another Toyota news roundup! Our Orlando Toyota dealership is here to share the latest and greatest news surrounding our vehicles and the automotive industry. Today we're talking about the new Tundra suspension, two new Toyota hypercars, the new mobile collision assistance that's been rolled out, and the Toyota Barter program in Brazil. An all-new Toyota Tundra suspension is coming At this point, we're eagerly awaiting the BIG unveiling of the new Toyota Tundra. Toyota has been slowly and steadily dropping teaser images and tidbits of information, and this week was no exception - they dropped a photo and video of the 2022 Toyota Tundra's new and updated suspension, and the automotive world is abuzz. From what we can tell in the photos, gone are the leaf springs in the rear. Instead, Toyota chose to deck out this redesigned truck with multilink suspension and coil springs in the back. This means more comfort and better handling, especially in offroad situations. We also got an up-close-and-personal look at the skid plate, which confirms that a TRD model is in the works. We'll keep you posted for more updates! Pay for a Toyota with soybeans Cars aren't cheap no matter how you look at it - they're a big investment, but a very necessary one. That's why Toyota established the Toyota Barter Program back in 2019. Through it, farmers in other countries can bring their crops to a third-party company called NovaAgri that will ensure the crops were farmed sustainably and then hand over the keys to a new Toyota. Farmers can choose from the Toyota Hilux truck, the new Toyota Corolla Cross, and the SW4 SUV. This program has been expanded and will now accept corn and soybeans from Brazilian farmers as barter. Toyota preps for Le Mans with two new hypercars Le Mans test day is coming and Toyota took its two hypercars out on the track for a final systems check before the big day, which then segues into race week and the FIA World Endurance Championship later in August. Each car did 200km of the circuit with Brendon Hartley and Kamui Kobayashi at the wheel. Despite rain delaying the checks a bit, both cars passed with flying colors and will be taking to the track for the Le Mans test day soon. Toyota rolls out Mobile Collision Assistance Remember how we told you that you needed to download the Toyota app? We're saying it again, because Toyota is rolling out mobile collision assistance. Through this new tech, Toyota will help you navigate the aftermath of a car accident. Once you've confirmed that you and your passengers are OK, it helps you to collect the right documentation for the accident, submit your claim to your car insurance, and then choose a collision center for auto repairs. It literally walks you through the entire process step-by-step because we all know that a car accident is stressful enough - you shouldn't have to stress the repairs afterward. Follow Toyota of Orlando on social media for more news updates, and call us with questions! We're open seven days a week at (407) 298-4500 and you can visit us in person at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 across from the Millenia Mall.

retired Toyotas

Is the Toyota Avalon headed to retirement?

The Orlando Toyota Avalon has been a much-loved car over the decades because of its sleek sophistication and unbeatable performance, both of which were taken to an all-new level during the 2018 redesign. However, it looks like it might be the end of the road for this classic Toyota - rumor has it that it's being retired after the 2022 model year, and our Orlando Toyota dealership is here to take a look into why that rumor just may be true. Is next year the last we'll see of the Toyota Avalon? Over the past few years, there's been a shift in the automotive market. Drivers have been leaning more toward SUVs of all sizes when it comes down to signing the dotted line; while favorites like the Orlando Toyota Camry and Corolla are still popular options, other sedans - like the Toyota Avalon - have lost a bit of their luster. They're just not as popular anymore, and when you couple that with the fact that the Toyota Avalon is a more expensive luxury option, it leads to a drop in demand. While sales for 2020 were higher than expected, the need for a large luxury sedan is waning. On top of that, the plant in Georgetown, Kentucky is reportedly planning on ending its production and assembly of this Orlando Toyota. And while Toyota has confirmed nothing about the fate of the Toyota Avalon, they also left it until the last minute to announce the retirement of the Toyota Land Cruiser so we've got a gut feeling that this new Toyota sedan is about to be put out to pasture. Rumor also has it that similar to the Toyota Land Cruiser, this Toyota sedan will be discontinued in the US but still sold overseas (specifically in China) after 2022. This new Toyota has come a long way It's been a good run, though. Here are some of the highlights from the history of this iconic Orlando Toyota car: The Toyota Avalon was first introduced to the market back in 1994; it was meant to replace the Toyota Cressida, which was retired around the same time. The Cressida had a straight 6 cylinder engine and the new Toyota Avalon was introduced with a 4-cylinder, offering drivers a more fuel-efficient option. It's named as such because of the legend of King Arthur - in this tale, "Avalon" was a land of enchantment where everything was perfect and dreamlike. There have been five generations in total of this classic sedan; over time, hybrid models were introduced to the lineup and even an edgy new TRD edition in the past few years. It's safe to say that while the initial design was somewhat basic, this Orlando Toyota quickly became a solid luxury option with sophisticated style and the best technology out there. If you're reading into the rumors like we are, now would be a good time to get your hands on this 2021 Toyota. Test drive it and see it in person at Toyota of Orlando! We're open seven days a week at 3575 Vineland Road just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall. You can call ahead of time to learn more and schedule your appointment at (407) 298-4500.

However, it looks like it might be the end of the road for this classic Toyota - rumor has it that it's being retired after the 2022 model year, and our Orlando Toyota dealership is here to take a look into why that rumor just may be true. Is next year the last we'll see of the Toyota Avalon? Over the past few years, there's been a shift in the automotive market. Drivers have been leaning more toward SUVs of all sizes when it comes down to signing the dotted line; while favorites like the Orlando Toyota Camry and Corolla are still popular options, other sedans - like the Toyota Avalon - have lost a bit of their luster. They're just not as popular anymore, and when you couple that with the fact that the Toyota Avalon is a more expensive luxury option, it leads to a drop in demand. While sales for 2020 were higher than expected, the need for a large luxury sedan is waning. On top of that, the plant in Georgetown, Kentucky is reportedly planning on ending its production and assembly of this Orlando Toyota. And while Toyota has confirmed nothing about the fate of the Toyota Avalon, they also left it until the last minute to announce the retirement of the Toyota Land Cruiser so we've got a gut feeling that this new Toyota sedan is about to be put out to pasture. Rumor also has it that similar to the Toyota Land Cruiser, this Toyota sedan will be discontinued in the US but still sold overseas (specifically in China) after 2022. This new Toyota has come a long way It's been a good run, though. Here are some of the highlights from the history of this iconic Orlando Toyota car: The Toyota Avalon was first introduced to the market back in 1994; it was meant to replace the Toyota Cressida, which was retired around the same time. The Cressida had a straight 6 cylinder engine and the new Toyota Avalon was introduced with a 4-cylinder, offering drivers a more fuel-efficient option. It's named as such because of the legend of King Arthur - in this tale, "Avalon" was a land of enchantment where everything was perfect and dreamlike. There have been five generations in total of this classic sedan; over time, hybrid models were introduced to the lineup and even an edgy new TRD edition in the past few years. It's safe to say that while the initial design was somewhat basic, this Orlando Toyota quickly became a solid luxury option with sophisticated style and the best technology out there.
