The Orlando Toyota RAV4 is a much-loved SUV for many reasons. It was recently redesigned for a seriously sleek and sporty look, offers great fuel efficiency combined with a spacious interior, and even comes in a hybrid drivetrain to save you money and cut down on emissions. However, it's about to get even cooler - as of 2021, things are getting electric. Meet the latest and greatest Toyota RAV4 The Los Angeles Auto Show took place last week and Toyota unveiled the 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime Plug-in to the world for the first time. This majorly green version of the ever-popular SUV is packing a punch when it comes to... well, just about everything, and Toyota of Orlando is here with the details! Check out the highlights below. This new Toyota SUV will have a 2.5L Atkinson cycle inline four engine from the current Toyota RAV4 Hybrid for 176 horsepower. However, it's also boasting two electric motors, which boosts things up to 302 horsepower total. This model will also showcase on-demand all-wheel drive, where the rear wheels will be powered as needed by the electric motors. This all-wheel drive system additionally features a trail mode so give you some flexibility when it comes to taking things off the pavement. This Orlando Toyota will be able to get from 0-60 mph in just 5.8 seconds, making it the second-fastest vehicle in Toyota's lineup after the Supra. Talk about speed! The 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime Plug-In will be able to go 39 miles on electric power alone before switching over to the engine, making it an exceptionally green SUV. Two models will be available - the SE and XSE. The SE model will showcase features like an 8" touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Drivers will also love a power liftgate and heated front seats, as well as a sleek exterior decked out with 18" wheels and black trim. This model also offers a power driver's seat and a 7" display in the instrument gauge cluster. The XSE model takes things up a notch with features like 19" wheels, limited-edition two-tone paint colors, and vertical LED daytime running lights. The interior offers incredible highlights like synthetic leather upholstery (it's more eco-friendly), new paddle shifters that also control regenerative braking, Qi wireless charging, and a 9" touchscreen audio interface. Additionally, there's an optional "premium" package up for grabs. This special package will add on features like heated and ventilated front seats, a head-up display, a JBL audio system, and dynamic navigation. The dynamic navigation is one of the coolest features yet - it reads the road and learns the driver's routine to keep your drive time fast, efficient, and stress-free. Electrify your drive time this summer at Toyota of Orlando When will we see it at Toyota of Orlando? Possibly by summer of 2020 - we'll keep you posted on its arrival as we get more information.

Have you ever experienced a tire blowout? It's a pretty frightening experience. Blowouts occur when your tire suddenly bursts and loses all of its air pressure rapidly. When this happens, your tire can no longer support the weight of your car and collapses. Blowouts are dangerous because when they occur, you lose control of your vehicle for a few moments (not to mention, the loud noise they make can easily startle you or the cars around you). If you're moving at a high speed or driving on a slick surface, your chances of an accident or collision are high. Rear tire blowouts are exceptionally dangerous because they can cause your car to fishtail. How can you prevent a tire blowout? Luckily, your chances of experiencing a blowout are slimmer if you keep up with the right car tire care. Here's what our Orlando auto service techs recommend to keep your car tires in top shape and prevent flat tires and blowouts! Keep your tires inflated to the right PSI. Underinflated tires can't properly carry the weight of your car because that air pressure is what keeps things supported. When your PSI is too low, it puts major stress on the tire and causes it to overflex, eventually leading to a blowout because the tire simply can't flex any further. You can find the right level PSI in your owner's manual or on a small placard on the driver's side doorjamb. Avoid potholes. Potholes can do a number on your car, resulting in alignment, suspension, and tire issues (and a big dent in your bank account). Hitting a pothole, curb or any other road hazard can damage your tire and its internal components. This makes it weaker and more likely to blow out under pressure. Don't overload your car. Your car has a weight limit, believe it or not, and if you exceed that limit it puts a lot of stress on your car tires when you're out on the road. This can damage them, especially if they're underinflated. Be sure to check your Gross Vehicular Weight Rating (you can find it in your owner's manual or on the driver's side doorjamb next to the PSI recommendations). Keep up with maintenance. You should be inspecting your tires routinely, checking the PSI, and having them rotated on a schedule. This is especially true if you find yourself driving on the highway a lot; driving at high speeds takes its toll on tires. If you don't keep up with basic car tire care, then your tires will wear out faster and be prone to blowouts if you don't replace them. Keep a special eye on your car tires during the spring and summer. Blowouts are more likely to happen when the pavement is at its hottest. Schedule car care today at Toyota of Orlando Have questions?

When it comes to finding the absolute perfect ride, it can take a little bit of leg work. This is especially true if you're looking for an older model or something incredibly specific. This type of purchase can take you out of your local area and sometimes out of state or even out of the country. However, long distance car buying is a different ball game than buying from your local dealer or a private seller in your city! Toyota of Orlando is here with tips to make your long distance car buying experience a breeze. 3 Orlando Toyota tips to help with your long distance car buying experience Tip #1: Do your homework before you buy. When you buy a car long distance, chances are you may only see it in photographs and video (unless you spring for a plane ticket to get to where it is). This being said, you need to be thorough when it comes to researching the vehicle. Make sure you ask for photos and video so you can see every inch of it, request service and repair records, and run a CarFax report on the car. You should also come up with a list of very specific questions to ask the seller so you cover all of your bases. Remember, you won't get to take a test drive unless you actually go see the car in person, so it's essential to be as thorough as possible. If you CAN get out to where the vehicle is to see it in person, we highly recommend it! Tip #2: Check fuel and safety standards in your city and state. Fuel and safety standards vary from state to state, and they can be different here in the US from other countries. For example, Florida has specific rules about fuel efficiency and vehicle safety features. Make sure your ride will be up to code when it arrives or you may not be able to hit the road in it without making modifications and having to pay even more money. This is especially true if you're buying internationally! Tip #3: Figure out how to get it home. How are you going to get your new ride home? Long distance car buying adds a whole new component in this arena - are you going to drive your new ride and put all those miles on it? If you're buying from another country, this may not even be a possibility. If you're going to ship your car, make sure you choose a reputable company and price it out so you have the money set aside. Our Orlando Toyota dealership also recommends that you set aside a little bit of money for repairs that might spring up - sometimes damage can occur when a car is shipped. Have questions?

When it comes to car care, you've probably got a solid grasp on the basic appointments you need to schedule on a routine basis. Oil changes and tire rotations are two of the big ones, as well as brake service and battery checks. However, when was the last time you got a wheel alignment? This auto service is just as important as your other appointments, but many drivers don't know when or why it needs to be scheduled. Toyota of Orlando's service center is here to explain. What is this important auto service and what does it do? First, let's talk about what a wheel alignment actually is. Basically, this is when our Orlando Toyota service techs use an alignment machine to "square up" your car's wheels and axles (make sure they're all moving in the same direction). They'll also make sure that the steering wheel is properly centered, and they might adjust your car's suspension as well - specifically, angles like the toe, camber, castor, and thrust. Basically, they just want to make sure everything is lined up properly so your car can travel in a straight line without any adjustments by you. How often do you need one? It varies based on your driving habits, your car, and whether or not you've been in an accident or collision. Generally, you can go two to three years between alignments unless you get into an accident or you get new tires (new tires have to be aligned properly before you can drive). How do you know you need a wheel alignment? How do you know you need one? Well, time alone - our Orlando auto service techs can remind you when you're due to bring your car in. However, here are some other signs that you may need to schedule this important car care in the near future: Your car is pulling to one side. Does your car drift to one side when you take your hands off the steering wheel? Does it feel like it's pulling against you when you try to straighten it out? It should stay true to center unless you turn the wheel, so if you notice that it's traveling to the left or right on its own, it's a good possibility you need to schedule Orlando wheel alignment. Your tires are wearing unevenly. Your tires should wear evenly, especially if you get them rotated like you should. If you notice that your car's wheels are wearing unevenly then it could be a sign they're unaligned and need auto service to get them back on track. Your tires are making squealing noises. Are your tires making squealing noises? This could mean they've been knocked out of alignment and need to be fixed. Your steering wheel is vibrating or shuddering. If your steering wheel shakes or vibrates while your car is in motion, you may have a problem with the wheels being misaligned. Let our Orlando car techs take a peek at it.

The Toyota Camry has always been a much-loved car. It's classically stylish, incredibly reliable, decked out with all the technology you need for both safety and entertainment, and offers an unbeatable performance to boot. However, Toyota isn't about to get complacent just because this sleek sedan is a best-seller. They're taking things up a notch for the 2020 model year and introducing a whole new element of drive time never before seen on this popular Orlando Toyota: all-wheel drive. Up until this point, the Orlando Toyota Camry was only available in front-wheel drive. It worked - after all, it's a sedan so all-wheel drive capabilities weren't really expected from it (it's a feature more often found on SUVs and trucks). However, all-wheel drive definitely has its perks and we're excited that this convenient feature is being introduced to this already-amazing sedan. What is all-wheel drive? Not totally sure what all-wheel drive is? Basically, this type of vehicle uses all four wheels to power the car (as opposed to front-wheel drive, which just uses the two front wheels to power the vehicle). It's different than four-wheel drive because unlike four-wheel drive, all-wheel drive is sending power to all four wheels all the time (not just when you choose to turn it on). How all-wheel drive take the Orlando Toyota Camry up another level What are the perks of all-wheel drive? Here's how it can upgrade your drive time: Better traction. This means you'll have more grip in inclement conditions like rain, snow, or ice. If one or two of your tires loses its grip, the other two can still power the vehicle and provide traction. More traction = a much safer drive time when the roads are slippery and you're a lot more likely to get into an accident. Better performance. Four wheel providing power means more power gets transferred to the tires immediately, making your car faster when accelerating. Additionally, all-wheel drive gives you better steering capabilities as both front wheels can be devoted to steering instead of carrying the load when it comes to moving the car forward. Better handing. All-wheel drive systems distribute the weight better throughout the car instead of having it all up front. This means you'll have better handling on your side every time you get behind the wheel of the new Toyota Camry. Off-road capabilities. OK - we're not huge proponents of taking the 2020 Toyota Camry on an off-road expedition. It's not built for taking on rugged terrain and doesn't have the same performance capabilities as a Toyota truck or SUV (or the height needed). However, if you do find yourself driving on sand, mud, or gravel, you'll find that you have better grip despite the different surface and more control over your car. As you can see, the 2020 Toyota Camry will have a lot to offer... and it's already on our lot at Toyota of Orlando! Get into the driver's seat today to see if it's the right ride for you. We're open seven days a week at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 across from the Millenia Mall.
