2023 Toyota Crown

The Toyota Crown is coming to the U.S. for 2023

2023 is a big year for Toyota. We have the all-new Toyota GR Corolla headed our way, as well as a completely redesigned new Toyota Sequoia, the new Toyota bz4X, multiple new hybrid options, exciting new special editions, and more. However, one more incredible car will be added to the lineup (again) - the iconic Toyota Crown. Toyota of Orlando has the details! What you should know about the new and improved Toyota Crown You heard right - the Toyota Crown is headed back to the U.S. this fall. Here's what we know so far about the upcoming release: The Toyota Crown has been an iconic choice for drivers in Japan since way back in 1955 when it was first introduced to the market. It's always been a mainstream sedan option there, and currently acts as an "executive" car with its luxurious features and comfortable interior. It's actually been in the U.S. before; back in 1958, the Toyota Crown was up for grabs stateside. The first through fourth generations were available in the U.S. until 1973 and shares the same platform as the plush Lexus GS. We don't know that the Toyota Crown will still be a sedan when it arrives in the U.S. for 2023; not much has been unveiled about it yet, and people are speculating it's going to be a sportier, coupe-like design OR have a crossover-ish like style. This new style will give drivers looking for something smaller than an SUV but larger than a typical sedan a solid option to drive home. It's likely that it's being brought to the U.S. to replace the Orlando Toyota Avalon, which is being retired after 2022. It's also likely that the new Toyota Crown will be built on the new TNGA-K platform, offer all-wheel drive, and be available in hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or electric drivetrains as Toyota continues to push its green initiative. So far, the 2.4L 4-cylinder hybrid with 200-210 horsepower rumor is holding the most water. However, some are speculating that a 2.4L turbocharged inline-four with a six-speed automatic transmission and electric motor could be in the works, which could mean 350+ horsepower. It's believed that this new Toyota will be roomier than the Toyota Avalon and be closer to Lexus-like levels of luxury and technology to give drivers a one-of-a-kind experience. The interior technology is rumored to be similar to that of the upcoming 2023 Toyota bz4X with an advanced infotainment system and top-of-the-line features. It should be arriving in dealerships sometime this fall - many are speculating October 2022 - and will be fully revealed on July 15 with more details. We'll keep you posted on exactly what it'll have to offer when it arrives! Follow Toyota of Orlando on social for updates If you want more info on the upcoming 2023 Toyota Crown OR any of the other new models headed to Toyota of Orlando, follow us on social media! You can also call us seven days a week at (407) 298-4500, or stop by and see us in person. Toyota of Orlando is located just off I-4 across from the Millenia Mall at 3575 Vineland Road.

2023 GR Corolla Special Edition

New MORIZO Edition coming to the 2023 Toyota GR Corolla

The all-new (and much-hyped) 2023 Toyota GR Corolla is coming to Toyota of Orlando, and people. Are. Ready. It'll be arriving at some point later this year (follow us on social media for updates) and with it bring an all-new hot hatch option for drivers who need some excitement in their day-to-day commute. However, we've got even more news to share about this upcoming model - a special MORIZO Edition is being brought to market, and our Orlando Toyota dealership has the details. See what this all-new Orlando Toyota is bringing to the table This special edition GR Corolla is track-ready with tighter handling, a highly rigid body, and a special high power-to-weight ratio. Here's what we know so far: The MORIZO Edition will offer drivers 300 horsepower and improved torque of 295 lb-ft (upgraded from the 273 lb-ft you'll find on the other models) as well as a retuned engine for enhanced power. This special edition also showcases an exclusive close-ratio intelligent Manual Transmission and shorter differential gears for more exciting acceleration. Almost 100 lbs of weight have been removed from the MORIZO Edition to make it ultra-light and ready to race; curb weight is an estimated 3,186 lbs. This was achieved by removing the rear seats and adding a forged carbon fiber roof and forged wheels. This two-seater design also allowed for the removal of rear door speakers, rear window regulators, and rear wiper blade and motor to lighten things up further. New tires were added for improved handling - this special edition of the GR Corolla sits on 18" forged alloy wheels that have an exclusive matte black finish and the Toyota GAZOO Racing logo on the rim. The MORIZO Edition will additionally be outfitted with red-painted monotube shock absorbers and have a suspension that's specially tuned for precision racing. Additionally, rigidity on this GR Corolla model was increased by adding two more floor braces and one more rear strut brace, with an additional 349 spot welds and six more meters of structural adhesive than a standard model. The MORIZO Edition will also have the GR-Four All-Wheel-Drive System with the option to select 30/70, 50/50, and 60/40 front-to-rear wheel power settings as well as dual limited-slip differentials. The interior aesthetic also gets an upgrade in this new special edition. Exclusive red and black Ultrasuede and leather trim the sport seats, accented by high bolsters and harness holes and an Ultrasuede wrapped steering wheel with red sightline, shift knob, and parking lever. This new Orlando Toyota will also showcase the 12.3" digital color multi-information display and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 that the other models offer. The exterior of the GR Corolla MORIZO Edition offers functional venting, a forged carbon fiber roof, GR-Four stamped side rockers, and a flat underfloor and rear lip spoiler to improve aerodynamics. You can take it home in with Windchill Pearl and a new exclusive color that's a matte gray. When will the GR Corolla MORIZO Edition arrive at Toyota of Orlando? We don't have an MSRP or exact arrival date for this special edition of the 2023 GR Corolla, but we'll keep you posted.

This spacious and stylish minivan has been a sleek alternative to the typical "family car" for more than two decades and to celebrate, Toyota is unveiling an all-new 25th anniversary special edition model that will be out sometime this year (and in limited supply, so don't delay in getting your hands on one). Toyota of Orlando has the details. What will the 25th Anniversary Special Edition of the Toyota Sienna have to offer?

The Orlando Toyota Sienna first hit the market in 1998; it was assembled in Georgetown, KY, and was nicknamed the "Camry of Minivans" by Toyota. Why? Because it was based on a larger version of the Camry platform, and because its aim was to be a high-quality, high-value, and user-friendly version of a family vehicle (just like the Camry was). They hit home, and since its inception 25 years ago the Swagger Wagon (as it's been dubbed over the years) has grown exponentially in popularity. It's in its fourth generation and major changes have been made to ensure it's still user-friendly, comfortable, convenient, and more fuel-efficient than ever.

Toyota Cabin Awareness tech

Toyota launches new Connected Cabin Awareness tech

Did you know that in 2021, 23 children died from heat stroke after being left in hot cars? Here in Central Florida, this concern is legitimate with the intense heat we see every single summer. The inside of a car can reach upwards of 125 degrees F in just minutes, and according to the non-profit Kids and Cars, one in four children that die in a hot car made their way into the vehicle without their parents or guardians realizing. Toyota's new Cabin Awareness tech uses 4D imaging to save lives Toyota is always at the forefront of safety technology and research, and this particular concern is no exception. They've launched all-new Connected Cabin Awareness tech to detect both people and pets inside the car, and our Orlando Toyota dealership is here to explain this innovative safety feature and how it can benefit you as a driver. Cabin Awareness exists in a lot of new Toyotas right now; it'll remind anyone sitting in a seat to put their seatbelt on once the car is in operation, and it'll also flash a reminder to the driver to check the backseat as soon as the vehicle is turned off. However, this new safety feature is next-level. Here are some of the highlights: Cabin Awareness uses millimeter-wave high-resolution 4D imaging radar to detect people and pets inside the vehicle cabin. The tech is mounted out of sight above a vehicle's headliner and scans the vehicle even after the driver has exited, ensuring that if any living thing is left behind, the driver will be alerted. Cabin Awareness can sense micromovements like heartbeat, respiration, and any motion of occupants and spans all three seating rows, the cargo area, and the vehicle's footwells. It can even sense occupants if they're under a blanket. Once an occupant is sensed in the vehicle, the Toyota will alert the driver (and possibly people walking by) with a series of alerts. First, the instrument cluster lights up. Then the horn honks. Next, emergency lights flash. Finally, a warning notification and text message can be sent to the driver through the Toyota app on their phone. And if programmed correctly, Cabin Awareness can send alerts through smart home devices and to other emergency contacts, as well as Toyota Safety Connect emergency assistance, who can then contact first responders. This new Toyota safety feature will debut as a patent-pending concept in a new Toyota Sienna prototype and will further be tested in the Toyota Sienna AutonoMaaS (Autonomous Mobility as a Service) shuttle at the Toyota headquarters in Michigan. The inspiration for this new Toyota safety feature came from NASA, believe it or not - the microwave radar tech used in the Jet Propulsion Laboratory inspired it. (The tech was used in 2015 in Nepal to detect earthquake survivors buried in rubble.) This Toyota safety feature includes the only tech on the market that can monitor an entire vehicle cabin with a single sensor.

Orlando Toyota SUVs

The 2023 Toyota Highlander will have a turbocharged engine under the hood

We're big fans of the Toyota Highlander here at Toyota of Orlando, and we're not the only ones. This spacious and stylish SUV is a fan favorite across the board for its roomy interior, its stylish and sleek design, and its performance, which is based on both safety and efficiency (while still making it fun to drive). The Toyota Highlander has been the No. 1 retail midsize SUV for six years running. However, 2023 is bringing a big upgrade to this fan favorite - we've got the details. Get ready for improved performance in the 2023 Toyota Highlander The big news? In 2023, the Orlando Toyota Highlander will officially have a turbocharged engine sitting under the hood. This is unprecedented for this particular SUV; it always had a V6 or 4-cylinder engine under the hood to provide drivers with reliable and efficient performance, but we never thought we'd see the words "Highlander" and "turbocharged" in the same sentence. Here's the breakdown. This acclaimed new engine is a 2.4L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that will allow for 256 horsepower and 309 lb-ft of torque. This is 17% more torque than the previous 3.5L V6 found in many models of the Orlando Toyota Highlander. However, don't think that just because you've got more torque on your side that your fuel efficiency is going to suffer. It's actually going to stay the same - 24 mpg combined - as it was when a V6 engine was under the hood. Plus, you'll get more feel-good vibes driving this new and improved Toyota SUV. It's actually more eco-friendly than previous iterations, with more than a 50% reduction in NOx and NMOG emissions AND an improvement in CO2 emissions. The turbocharged engine gives you the get-up-and-go to tow 5,000 lbs and also will include vehicle stability control and trailer sway control to making towing and hauling more effortless than ever. What else is new on the 2023 Toyota Highlander? Not only will drivers still be able to get the Premium JBL audio system with 11 speakers, but they'll also be able to upgrade their driving experience with the option of a 12.3" multi-information display screen. Additionally, a 12.3" full digital instrument cluster screen replaces the prior 7" TFT, and drivers will be able to choose from themes like smart, casual, sporty, and tough. Not only that, several trims will offer power-folding exterior mirrors and an improved Qi wireless charging system that's conveniently located on the instrument panel shelf. Plus, a new hands-free power liftgate will be available, as well as a new Cypress exterior paint color and both Harvest Beige and Glazed Caramel interiors with black accent colors. Plus, the special Bronze Edition will be back for the 2023 model year, giving you an edgy new model with unique aesthetics to put in the driveway. We can't wait for the new and improved 2023 Toyota HIghlander to arrive at Toyota of Orlando! Follow us on social media for updates or call us at (407) 298-4500 - our internet sales team can give you a call as soon as it arrives.

Circuit will ONLY be available for purchase in the 2023 launch year. There are three packages available to add on - Performance, Technology, and Cold Weather. There's so much to unpack for the new 2023 GR Corolla that we're going to break it up into sections - let's start with performance. Here are the highlights: This new Orlando Toyota is rally-ready. It has the first sports all-wheel-drive system in 20 years - GR-FOUR - and offers exceptional control and traction with power being sent to each wheel. The system is also simple and lightweight to optimize performance. Changing the performance is as easy as the twist of a dial. Drivers can set their front/rear torque distribution to 60:40 for everyday driving, 30:70 for a sportier experience or winding roads, and 50:50 for maximum stability at high speeds (like on a track). The Orlando GR Corolla also has front and rear Torsen Limited-Slip Differentials for enhanced cornering and grip, as well as control of left AND right-hand drive torque distribution on the front and rear axles. Remember the GR Yaris and how mad everyone (we) was that it wasn't coming to the US? The 2023 GR Corolla will offer the same turbocharged G16E-GTS powerplant under the hood... but it's been boosted. The 3-cylinder engine has more power thanks to a new engine exhaust with a 3-piece muffler - this design means less exhaust pressure AND outside noise. The G16E engine also offers multi-oil jet piston cooling, large-diameter exhaust valves, and a part-machined intake port. Maximum power is 300 horsepower and 273 lb-ft torque in this Orlando Toyota. You'll also get a single-scroll ball-bearing turbo in the GR Corolla with a 6-speed intelligent manual transmission with rev-matching to handle high torque with ease. There's also Toyota's D-4S direct and port fuel injection system for maximum fuel dispersion and efficiency. The 2023 GR Corolla has a shift lever with a shortened stroke for quick throw and a pull-type mechanical parking brake. The front suspension is MacPherson type strut design with circuit-tuned coil springs, shock absorbers, and stabilizer bars for light weight and firm handling while the rear suspension uses a double-wishbone multilink system to accommodate the AWD system. The new 2023 GR Corolla has wide tread tires for high cornering and high-speed stability and you'll love the 18" gloss-black 15-spoke cast alloy wheels. It also showcases fixed-caliper disc brakes (painted red with the GR logo, of course) for maximum stopping power. The Orlando Toyota car itself has a highly rigid body that was specially designed just for this vehicle. It showcases more weld points in the frame and extensive use of structural adhesive. PHEW. Let's talk about aesthetics now, like we're not already excited enough. As you well know, the GR Corolla is a hot hatchback. There was a focus in the design to make it as lightweight as possible. Here are a few things we love: On the special Circuit Edition of the new GR Corolla, the roof is made of forged carbon fiber to make it lighter. Aluminum was used for the hood and front door panels, as well as high-tensile steel to ensure a safe structure. The nose of the GR Corolla ascends to a tapered roofline for the best possible aerodynamics, and the rear spoiler creates more downforce. It also has lower rockers to make air flow down the sides of the car, and features hood, fender, and rear bumper ducts as well as a flat underfloor to reduce drag. The 2023 GR Corolla sits wide and low to the ground for the best possible handling. It has wide front and rear fender flares. It also showcases a black matrix grille and LED exterior lighting, as well as gloss black exterior accents, a shark fin antenna, and rear wings. The interior of the 2023 GR Corolla has a 12.3" color multi-information display with a GR meter that displays 4WD mode, gear position indicator, a tachometer, and the turbo pressure. There are Brin Naud suede and synthetic-leather trimmed sport seats with red stitching, red mesh inserts, and GR badging available as well as heated front seats and steering wheel. The GR Corolla will also offer features like a push-button start, aluminum sport pedals, automatic climate control, power windows with one-touch auto up/down, 2 USB charging ports and one 12V auxiliary power outlet, and Qi wireless charging. Additionally, this Toyota sports car has the Toyota Audio Multimedia system with an 8" touchscreen, Bluetooth, Drive Connect Intelligent Assistant, voice control, and cloud-based native navigation. You'll also have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto at your fingertips, as well las a 4G WiFi hotspot and optional JBL sound system. And finally, let's talk extras. Each 2023 GR Corolla will come standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, a rear-seat reminder, a Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Hill Start Assist Control as well as a one-year trial subscription of Toyota Safety Connect.
