If you've ever slid into someone's car and been greeted by a whiff of stale cigarette smoke, then you know just how unpleasant this particular odor can be. However, what if it's YOUR car that has the stink of old cigarettes ruining your interior? Our Orlando Toyota service experts are here with tips on how to get rid of cigarette smell in a car so your ride smells fresh and clean every time you slide into the driver's seat. How to get rid of cigarette smell in a car Our first tip for how to get rid of cigarette smell in a car? Don't smoke in your car... period. If you feel the need to light up, step outside and make sure your car's doors and windows are closed so the smoke doesn't waft in. You should also avoid keeping cigarette butts in your car - the leftover odor can work its way into your interior and leave your car smelling less-than-fresh. Remember, not only is it unpleasant for your passengers to smell cigarettes, but it can also bring down the value of your car when it's time to trade in or sell. But what if you're not a smoker and the used car you purchased has this unpleasant odor stuck inside the cabin? Here are a few tips on how to get rid of cigarette smell in a car when it seems to be permanently woven into your upholstery and carpet. Tip #1: Detail your car thoroughly. You'll want to deep clean the carpet and upholstery, as well as wipe down surfaces to try and remove the odor of cigarettes. Empty out the interior. Trash, your extra pair of shoes, clothing, etc. can retain the smell of smoke and ruin your efforts to get rid of the stink if you leave them in the car. Take everything out and wash all clothes and fabrics before putting them back in. Be sure to check your glovebox, seatback pockets, center console, and cargo area. Vacuum. Vacuum all of the seats and carpet thoroughly. If you have seat covers, take them off and see if they're machine washable. If they are, toss them in to clean them. If they're not, hand wash them with detergent and water. Take out your floor mats. If you have carpet mats, they'll need to be vacuumed as well and you can air them out in a dry place (we recommend outside). If you have all-weather mats, scrub them down with soap and water. Wipe down all surfaces. Wipe down all plastic, vinyl, SofTex, and leather surfaces with a clean cloth and the appropriate cleaning solution for that particular surface. Use a detailing solution. You can find special detailing solutions to clean seats and upholstery at our Toyota of Orlando parts store - be sure to get the right one for your car. Tell our parts experts that you're trying to figure out how to get cigarette smell out of a car and they can point you in the right direction. Don't forget the seatbelts! If your car is leather or SofTex, you'll need a specially formulated cleaner - ask our Toyota of Orlando parts team which will work best without damaging your ride. <span data-mce-type="bookmark" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span> Tip #2: Break out the baking soda. Next,  you'll want to bring a deodorizer into the picture. Sprinkle baking soda onto the fabric seats and carpet of your Orlando Toyota once everything is dry, as well as the carpet floor mats. Don't forget to do the cargo area or trunk as well as under the seats. Let it sit overnight. Let the baking soda sit on your seats and carpet as long as possible - overnight if you can. Baking soda neutralizes odors and can help to ensure the cigarette smell is removed. You might even leave a box of baking soda sitting open on your dash to help the process. Vacuum again. Go through your Orlando Toyota and vacuum up all of the baking soda. Tip #3: Try other methods. Still smelling cigarettes when you open up your car? Here are a few more methods to put to the test to get rid of the stink. Clean your upholstery and carpet again with a cleaning solution. It might take two or even three times to get rid of the smell. Change your cabin air filter to ensure it's not retaining a cigarette smell. Use dryer sheets to wipe down seats, carpet, and seatbelts. Put a small bowl of coffee grounds or charcoal in your car; both of them absorb odors.

SUVs are popular options today. Whether you want a compact and efficient SUV (like the Orlando Toyota RAV4) or a spacious and comfortable people-mover (like the Toyota Sequoia), you've got seemingly endless options. However, a lot of people land in the middle and find themselves searching for the best of both worlds - something spacious and comfortable that's still efficient when it comes to gas. But which - out of all of your options - is the best mid size SUV? Our vote is the Toyota Highlander. This best-seller has been a popular option for literal decades for drivers who want a reliable ride that offers passenger space and cargo space without breaking the bank when it's time to fill up the gas tank. It's definitely got our vote for the best mid size SUV, but don't take our word for it. Let us walk you through why this Orlando Toyota should be your top option next time you're shopping for a new ride. What is a mid size SUV? Before we get started, let's talk about exactly what a mid size SUV is. Basically, it's an SUV that has two or three rows of seats (the Orlando Toyota Highlander offers three) and falls in between a compact SUV and a full size SUV when it comes to size. Mid size SUVs are one of the most popular options in the automotive world, because they usually can meet the needs of pretty much anyone. Here are a few more points to keep in mind about mid size SUVs: Mid size SUVs have higher ground clearance than sedans. This means you'll have a better view of the road AND a bigger sense of safety in the driver's seat. They also have a spacious interior. You can use the third row of seats for passengers (which means you'll be able to seat 7-8 people) or fold the third row flat for more cargo space in the back. Regardless, you'll get significantly more cargo space in an SUV than a sedan. What makes the best mid size SUVs? In our opinion at Toyota of Orlando, there are certain characteristics that make or break an SUV. Here's what we think the best mid size SUVs should have in their arsenal.

Interior + cargo space: You'll also have plenty of space in the new Highlander; it definitely fits the bill for this best mid size SUV characteristic. Here's what to expect: It can seat up to 8, depending on the configuration you choose for the interior.

The 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser is headed to Toyota of Orlando, and we've got all the details you need before you take your test drive! Here are the six things we think you should explore before you get behind the wheel of this popular Orlando Toyota SUV. We're Making it Simple™ for you! What's new on the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser? Not TOO much has changed on the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser; after all, it was just introduced to the lineup last year. Here are six things you can expect when you come to take it for a spin at Toyota of Orlando. #1: You get the same incredible performance. 2025 brings the same turbocharged i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain to the table, which means 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft torque. You'll have full-time four-wheel drive at your fingertips, as well as an 8-speed automatic transmission. The new Land Cruiser gets an estimated 23 mpg combined and embraces off-road adventure with features that can take you anywhere. You'll love: Electronic locking rear and center differentials Front stabilizer bar disconnect mechanism Multi-terrain select with Mud, Dirt, and Sand modes CRAWL Control with five speeds Downhill Assist Control and Vehicle Stability Control, as well as Automatic Limited-Slip Differential There's even a multi-terrain monitor to ensure you see where you're going, no matter how challenging the trail. #2: There's a new paint color up for grabs. You'll get seven paint colors when you shop the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser - Ice Cap, Underground Black, Wind Chill Pearl, Meteor Shower, Trail Dust, and Heritage Blue. Like last year, Heritage Blue and Trail Dust are two-tone with a Grayscape roof, but this year you can also take home Heritage Blue in a monotone paint scheme (with a matching roof). #3: The interior is still plush but trail-ready. We love the interior of this Orlando Toyota because while it's capable of taking you on the trails, it also looks really good doing it. The 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser boasts interior features like power heated and ventilated front seats, reclining rear seats, and options like SofTex and leather-trimmed seats. There's also interior LED lighting, three-zone climate control, and an available power moonroof. You can also add on options like a console cool box for drinks and snacks, and you'll have six USB ports for charging and connectivity. #4: The tech can take you anywhere. Just because the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser was designed for durability and rugged adventure doesn't mean it's lacking in tech. After all, you want to stay connected no matter how far off the beaten path you go. We love tech like an available 12.3-inch touchscreen multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a premium 14-speaker JBL Audio System. This Orlando Toyota also comes with Digital Key capability and a 2400-watt AC inverter plug in the cargo area (perfect for camping). There's even Qi wireless charging with enhanced power output! #5: It'll be available in two models this year. The 2025 model year brings you two grades: 1958, and Land Cruiser. While some models offer seemingly endless model options, Toyota is keeping things simple with the Land Cruiser. Their reasoning? We're not sure, but we think it's because these two models encompass everything you could possibly want in an off-road icon. Not only will you be able to get your hands on the best off-roading features, but also have access to a comfortable interior and top technology. #6: There's a new package available. Gone is the First Edition Land Cruiser from 2024—as noted above, you can pick this Orlando Toyota up in two grades this year (not three). However, there's a new Premium Package available. This package includes: Leather-trimmed heated and ventilated power front seats with lumbar support and driver memory features A digital rearview mirror A premium 14-speaker JBL audio system Head-Up Display Illuminated entry A center console cool box A power moonroof with sliding sunshade Two additional USB-C ports in the cargo area See it for yourself - get wild in the newest Toyota Land Cruiser at Toyota of Orlando Ready to see if this new Toyota is the right ride for your off-road adventures?

The 2025 Toyota Camry LE: What to Know If you recall, the 2025 Toyota Camry is completely redesigned and all models - including the Toyota Camry LE - have a hybrid powertrain. The LE is the base model of the trim but don't assume you'll be missing out if you choose it. It has exceptional features, a reliable performance, and a classic but stylish design that appeals to pretty much everyone. The 2025 Toyota Camry LE has a starting MSRP of $28,400 and gets 53/50 mpg. The 2025 Toyota Camry XLE: What to Know What about the 2025 Toyota Camry XLE? This model is also a hybrid and it has a starting MSRP of $33,400. However, with that higher MSRP you're going to get more features, more tech, and different design elements to choose from. This particular Orlando Toyota gets 48/47 mpg. So how does the 2025 Toyota Camry LE vs XLE comparison look when you dive into the details? Let's take a closer look at these two best-sellers. Orlando Toyota Camry LE vs XLE: Your Comparison Guide <span data-mce-type="bookmark" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span> The Technology: We know that some drivers are very invested in their car's tech while others just want enough to get them from point A to point B comfortably. Here's how the Toyota Camry LE vs XLE comparison looks in terms of technology. In the LE model,  you'll get a standard rearview mirror while the XLE ups the ante with an auto-dimming rearview mirror to help deflect those headlights. You'll get a bit more in terms of entertainment tech with the Camry XLE. While the LE offers an 8-inch multimedia screen for your Toyota Audio System, the XLE model has a larger 12.3-inch multimedia screen to utilize. You also have better sound system options in the XLE. You can go for a 9-speaker JBL audio system in this model while the LE caps out at a 6-speaker sound system that's not JBL... it depends on what you want most out of your drive time. The Camry XLE also offers a 10-inch color head up display, a feature not found on the LE model. Both models offer features like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Qi wireless charging, Toyota Connected Services, USB-C ports, and Bluetooth wireless tech. The Safety: Safety is intergated deeply into every single new Toyota at Toyota of Orlando, and the new Camry is no exception. Here's how safety pans out in the 2025 Toyota Camry LE vs XLE: Both of these Orlando Toyotas come with a backup camera, Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, the Star Safety System, and a tire pressure monitor. The XLE comes with a bit more tech than the LE model - you'll get features including: Panoramic view monitor Traffic Jam Assist Lane Change Assist Rear Cross-Traffic Braking Front Cross-Traffic Alert No matter which model you choose, you're in good hands, but if you want extra peace of mind, you may want to opt for the XLE. The Interiors: Everyone who gets behind the wheel of the 2025 Toyota Camry loves what they find, and that's definitely the case in both of these models. However, the Camry LE vs XLE comparison definitely has its differences when it comes to the interior and cabin. Both seat five and offer a spacious and comfortable space to ride in, and both offer features like dual zone automatic climate control and push button start. However, here's where these Orlando Toyotas differ. The Camry LE offers optional heated seats, but this cozy feature comes standard on the XLE model. Further, you can add the option of heated AND ventilated seats on the XLE models. The LE offers you the option of fabric or sport fabric. When you move into the XLE, on the other hand, you'll get sleek leather and microfiber trimmed seats. The XLE model also offers a leather-trimmed steering wheel (a feature not found on the LE). The Camry XLE interior has white ambient lighting inside the cabin for a sophisticated touch, but you can't get this option on the LE. Your digital gauge cluster in the LE model is 7 inches while the XLE model's gauge cluster is 12.3 inches. The XLE offers a driver's seat with a two-position memory function... you won't find this on the LE base model. It all boils down to what you want out of your interior —both of these Orlando Toyota options offer plenty of choices! The Performance: We know that both of these Toyotas are hybrids and share characteristics like automatic transmissions and all-wheel drive options. Here are some of the other performance aspects they share for the 2025 model year: 2.5-Liter, 4-cylinder DOHC 16-valve engine with Variable Valve Timing-intelligence (VVT-i) Sport, ECO, EV, and Normal drive modes Electric power steering Independent MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension And with both, you'll get an exceptional hybrid performance with great fuel efficiency. The Style: Both of these models have sleek, sophisticated style inside and out, but since the MSRPs differ you'll see more options available on the XLE model. Here's how the Camry LE vs XLE comparison turns out when it comes to style: Both of these models bring LED exterior lighting (including daytime running lights), multiple alloy wheel options, and heated power mirrors. On the Camry LE, you'll have options like a blacked out grille, the option of a power moonroof, a black rear lower diffuser, and chrome badging. On the Camry XLE, you'll have options like a dark grey metallic grille, two-toned alloy wheels, the option of a panoramic glass roof, and a gloss-black rear diffuser.

When you’re hitting the highway in your Orlando Toyota, it’s important to follow the rules of the road. Not only do these rules keep you and other drivers safe, but if you break them you can end up with a hefty ticket (or worse). We’ve already shared our insight when it comes to road rules, defensive driving, and distracted driving, but today we’re getting a little bit weird… specifically, weird traffic laws. Weird laws in Florida: What you should know about driving here There are a lot of weird laws in the US across the board, but there are also some pretty weird laws in Florida when it comes to traffic and driving. Our Orlando Toyota specialists are here to break some of them down for you so we can be shocked together. Ready? Let’s go! Law #1: It is specifically illegal to park in an intersection or at the edge of a curb. To us, this one on the list of weird traffic laws seems pretty obvious — you wouldn’t park your new Highlander in the middle of an Orlando intersection. But if there’s a law about it, it’s pretty likely someone has done it before. (Side eye.) Law #2: In Florida, you can get a ticket for driving too slowly, especially if you’re not keeping up with the flow of traffic. We get it. It’s not good to speed, but it’s also not good to drive so far under the speed limit that you’re causing traffic pileups and putting other drivers at risk. Our golden rule is to just stick to the speed limit and you’ll be good. Law #3: It is illegal to park on top of a grave in a cemetery. Yup, even if you’re having a seance. Another super odd one in a series of weird traffic laws, but important, we guess? Law #4: An elephant, goat, or alligator tied to a parking meter must pay the same price as a car. So make sure next time you want to park your alligator downtown, you have a credit card or some spare change. Weird traffic laws across America Florida isn’t the only state with weird traffic laws for its drivers. Here some other weird laws in the US you should know to abide by on your next road trip. In Alabama, you can’t drive while you’re blindfolded. Just so you’re aware. In Utah, birds have the right of way on all highways. In Georgia, It’s illegal to spit from a car or bus, but it’s OK to spit from a truck. You got lucky, Tundra and Tacoma drivers! In Oklahoma, it’s illegal to read a comic book while driving. In Massachusetts, you cannot drive with a gorilla in your backseat. In Nevada, it’s illegal to ride a camel on the highway. In case you had plans for this weekend. In Illinois, you can’t drive a car without a steering wheel. In Maryland, you can get a ticket for using profanity where a passerby might hear you. Keep your road rage in check, friends. In California, it’s illegal to leap out of a vehicle traveling at 65 mph or faster. In South Carolina, it’s illegal to store garbage in vehicles. In Idaho, it’s illegal to ride motorcycles if you are older than 88 years old.
