2022 Toyota Tundra engine

Toyota introduces new powertrain for 2022 Toyota Tundra

We're eagerly - some might even say anxiously - awaiting the unveiling and arrival of the 2022 Toyota Tundra. However, Toyota has been keeping this new truck under pretty tight wraps until the big day. They did, however, just release another teaser, and this one revolves around the new engine that will purportedly be under the hood of the 2022 model when it arrives at a Toyota dealership near you. We're taking a closer look (we gotta stay busy while we wait, right?). What type of engine will the new 2022 Toyota Tundra have under the hood? The latest 2022 Toyota Tundra teaser shows a quick look at the new engine, which has been dubbed the iForce Max. Now, if you recall, the engine that's currently under the hood of this Orlando Toyota truck is called the iForce V8. It's a 5.7L V8 engine that churns out 381 horsepower for some serious get up and go. The new engine, however, has notedly dropped any sort of number in its name and is just going by "Max" (which doesn't give us much to go on, but here we are). So what will it be? Here's what we think. There's faux manifold decoration on the engine cover and three intake runners on each side. This leads us to believe that it's likely going to be some sort of V6 engine, which we knew was coming as Toyota steadily phases out its V8 options. There are really two possibilities here: A new twin-turbocharged V6 gas engine. This is a strong possibility because this is the type of engine that's debuting in the new Toyota Land Cruiser, which you can only buy overseas after 2021 (sorry). This could be Toyota's chance to bring it stateside. A naturally-aspirated V6 engine. Either way, we think that there's a big chance that this new model of the Orlando Toyota Tundra will have a hybrid drivetrain. Things are getting greener every day in the automotive industry and Toyota has vowed to increase its electrified options for US drivers. It only seems fitting that the newest model of this popular truck would be available in a hybrid version, especially given the introduction of the Ford F-150 hybrid model. We'd be excited if this were the case. There are tons of perks to hybrid drivetrains, the main two being much better fuel efficiency and a cleaner performance (fewer emissions). We all know that trucks - even Toyota trucks - can be gas guzzlers because of their large size and large engines. Swapping out the drivetrain would ensure better fuel efficiency and less money spent at the pump to travel the same distances, which brings ownership costs down. And it wouldn't affect performance capabilities (in terms of towing, speed, etc.) if done right (and you know Toyota's got it covered). Stay tuned for updates on this new truck with Toyota of Orlando We'll keep you posted on the upcoming 2022 Toyota Tundra - follow us on social media @ToyotaOfOrlando or give us a call to find out more.

Best In-car User Experience: Toyota’s North American Multimedia System Debut

This week the anticipated change of the next generation multimedia system for Orlando Toyotas has been announced. In the works since 2018, we can expect the previous multimedia system to get an extreme upgrade. Toyota brought together all different teams to create the best new system, from electrical engineering to software development and business planning. Toyota created a system that blended previously scattered features into one advanced function making the user experience better than it’s ever been. Developed in North America, the unveiling of this new multimedia solution delivers an in-car user experience like never before being offered across our Orlando Toyota vehicle line-up – regardless of screen size or model grade. You can expect these features: Human Machine Interface (HMI), Virtual Assistant (VA), Enhanced Navigation, User Profiles, Digital Key, Over the Air (OTA), Safety Connect, and Service Connect. Let’s get into the features. Larger screen option A larger screen will visually change appearance in your Orlando Toyota from only an 8-inch screen to up to 14 inches, with processing power five times higher, making it faster and more responsive. Human Machine Interface (HMI) This feature remarkably enhanced user interaction through sight, touch, and voice due to its graphical user interface (GUI) design which features a voice interface and a uniquely North American animation. One can expect this to deliver a unified experience that does such with ease and the benefit of balancing accessibility needs. Additionally, the voice interface uses advanced graphics to distinguish between listening and processing states, and the appearance matches the new and improved capability of cloud processing. This new system will include a standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. Enjoy the selection of your favorite music genre with an improved audio HMI. Virtual Assistant (VA) This new feature intends to be the primary way occupants interact with the latest Orlando Toyota multimedia system and enable a voice-first application. It combines a hybrid developed structure of in-house Toyota Connected engineered machine learning with a cloud-based platform featuring up-to-date content. As a result, VA aims to provide a natural and easy-to-use interaction for vehicle occupants. Dual-microphones Enhanced noise-cancellation Speaker location and seat detection capabilities The approach allows front-seat occupants an expanded and interactive functionality to access navigation, media, phone, and select vehicle settings Enhanced Navigation This updated navigation system allows drivers and passengers to use the voice-activated commands or touchscreen to search at their fingertips for directions, exploring local businesses, using Google points of interest (POI) data. This navigation is also available to passengers with or without a network connection, with offline mode designed to detect when the vehicle is near or entering an area with low connectivity and download applicable maps and services in advance. User Profiles Set your personalized profile across all vehicles through the new profile system stored in the cloud. It is portable from vehicle to vehicle with access to Bluetooth handheld devices such as smartphones or tablets, smart keys, or manual login to access their profile. Digital Key Download the Toyota or Lexus app to avoid the frustrations that come with locking your keys in your car. Owners will be able to lock/unlock and start/stop their vehicle motor with digital access, with sharing capabilities of up to seven different guest users at one time. Over the Air (OTA) These cloud-based upgrades enable in-vehicle software in real-time by adopting agile development processes and Over the Air (OTA) program updates. Safety Connect Drivers and passengers will be connected to a 24/7 emergency response agent immediately who can quickly request dispatch of emergency services to a vehicle’s exact location or assist authorities in locating a stolen vehicle. Service Connect This subscription-based option will allow owners to maintain their vehicle through the smartphone App, receiving personalized maintenance updates, vehicle health reports, and maintenance reminders. While we can expect this new system sometime soon, we aren’t sure exactly when, but follow us on social media to stay tuned for updates on that latest Toyota of Orlando news @ToyotaofOrlando Curious just how much better it could get? Test drive an Orlando Toyota vehicle today! Come into our store open seven days a week just off I-4 across from the Millenia Mall, or give us a call to schedule a test drive at (407) 298-4500.

Orlando Toyota sports car

New 2022 Toyota Supra exclusive edition coming soon

If you're the type of driver who has a need for speed and likes to stand out from the crowd, we've got good news for you - the 2022 Toyota Supra is coming soon and with it bringing an all-new exclusive special edition. Only 600 models will be making their way into the market, and Toyota of Orlando has the details on what you can expect when they do. The all-new exclusive edition coming our way this fall is called the 2022 Toyota GR Supra A91-CF Edition. CF stands for Carbon Fiber, so you can be sure that you'll see a good amount of it on this iconic special edition car. Here's what you can expect when you slide into the driver's seat. This new Orlando Toyota Supra will showcase a seriously edgy look with a brand-new body kit that's highlighted by carbon fiber accents. These accents include a carbon fiber front splitter and canards, side rockers, and a new duckbill spoiler in back. The new carbon fiber body kit doesn't just look good, though - it also has practical application. It actually improves downforce and stability for more precise and controlled performance. New 19" matte-black wheels are showcased on the exterior of this new Toyota sports car, and the vehicle comes in three paint colors: Phantom, Nitro Yellow, and Absolute Zero White. The interior is decked out in Alcantara and leather with a red and black color scheme; it has red stitching details and carbon fiber interior accents as well as a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The interior also boasts sport pedals and a 14-way power-adjustable driver's seat. Performance is king when it comes to the Toyota Supra, as always, and this exclusive edition Orlando Toyota doesn't disappoint. It features a turbo-charged three-liter inline-six engine for 382 horsepower and the ability to get from 0-60 mph in just 3.9 seconds. Performance is also rocketed up a notch with an eight-speed Z-F8 transmission, paddle shifters, adaptive variable suspension, active rear sport differential, and Brembo brakes. And on top of the exceptional performance and extremely unique appearance, you'll also get a complimentary 1-year NASA (National Auto Sport Association) membership. This means you'll have free access to a High Performance Driving Event and discounted admissions to all other NASA-sanctioned events. The High Performance Driving Event won't have you sitting in the stands, though - it's a hands-on experience. The HPDE program is an enclosed road course for licensed drivers in their street cars, and offers classroom instruction and on-track driving. We don't know the exact date that this new Toyota Supra exclusive edition will arrive, but we do know it'll be sometime this fall. Follow us on social media for updates OR call us and we can reach out to you when it gets here! You can reach Toyota of Orlando seven days a week at (407) 298-4500 or stop by 3575 Vineland Road.

new Toyota SUV

New Toyota Highlander Bronze Edition coming

The new Toyota Highlander is already incredible to look at - since its redesign, it's offering a sleek but sporty exterior and a plush interior packed with everything you need for a comfortable and - dare we say - enjoyable drive time. It's modern, sophisticated, and the complete opposite of what you'd expect from a family-oriented vehicle. However, Toyota is introducing an all-new special edition in 2022 that promises to ratchet the Toyota Highlander's style up even further, and our Orlando Toyota dealership has the details. Introducing the 2022 Toyota Highlander Bronze Edition! This all-new limited edition model will be available in the hybrid model only will arrive at dealerships at some point later this year. Here are the details that our Orlando Toyota dealership has managed to gather so far: The new Bronze Edition of this sleek Toyota SUV will be a hybrid drivetrain, as noted, and will be available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. It comes in two new paint colors - Cement and Wind Chill Pearl. The exterior and interior will be studded with bronze accents to add a level of uniqueness not found on the regular models. The exterior boasts 18" bronze wheels while the interior is showcasing bronze stitching, bronze doorsills that are also illuminated, and a mid-century modern design is integrated into the SofTex trimmed seats. You'll also find floor mats that have bronze badging on them. This new special edition Toyota Highlander also has exceptional features woven into its unique design. Here's what comes standard: Rain-sensing windshield wipers Ambient lighting integrated into the dash Puddle lamps with the Highlander logo A digital rearview mirror A hands-free power liftgate LED daytime running lights in a strip design A 1500W power outlet A 10-way power driver's seat with memory Height and tilt adjustments for the passenger's seat On top of all of that, the hybrid performance found in this new Toyota special edition is exceptional. The rear-wheel drive system has a separate rear-mounted electric motor to power the rear wheels when necessary; it operated with no connection between the transmission and rear wheels to help prevent your front wheels from slipping. This also helps to prevent understeer as well as help you tackle slippery or uneven terrain like a pro (so pack up the camping gear). This particular model of the new Toyota Highlander is also especially fuel-efficient. It has a high-efficiency 2.5L four-cylinder engine under the hood alongside two electric motors, which means it gets 36 mpg. This high fuel efficiency means you save money on gas and also utilize fewer natural resources, so you can feel better about your time behind the wheel. We don't know EXACTLY when this new  Orlando Toyota will arrive at our dealership, but we'll keep you posted. In the interim, we have Toyota Highlanders AND Highlander Hybrids waiting for you to test drive! Visit Toyota of Orlando today at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall.

Toyota Prius to join Nightshade Edition lineup

Things are getting dark when it comes to the Toyota Prius, and in the best way. A new teaser video from Toyota has revealed that the iconic Toyota hybrid will soon be joining the Nightshade Edition lineup, bringing an edgy new look to the already sleek and sporty hatchback. Toyota of Orlando has details! An all-new Nightshade Edition is coming You've probably seen our coverage of the Nightshade Edition lineup in the past (and if you haven't, then get reading). This lineup boasts special paint colors, blacked-out badging and other exterior and interior features, and new wheels. It's also always a possibility that slight appearance modifications will be made with new rear diffusers or front grilles, as well as tweaked headlights. Plus, it's a limited edition - only a certain number of Nightshade Edition Toyotas are made every year, so you're getting something truly exclusive. We aren't precisely sure what the new Nightshade Edition of the Orlando Toyota Prius will offer, but we can tell from the teaser video that it's giving off some serious edge.
