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.

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.

We don’t see too much winter weather here in Florida (minus some brisk mornings and annoying fogged windshields). But if you live further north or take road trips out of town, chances are you may have to deal with snow and ice during your drive time. And to stay safe on the roads, you need a car that can handle winter conditions with ease. Our Orlando Toyota team is here and making it simple™ for you. Check out our guide to the best cars for winter driving.

What are the best car features for winter driving?

Winter weather varies depending on where you live. The southeast US may see snow and ice that make roads slippery some days. On the other hand, the northeast gets blizzards that make driving conditions hazardous for months out of the year. If you know you’re headed into winter conditions, you need the best car features for winter driving on your side. Here are some of the features our Toyota of Orlando techs recommend having if you’re making your way into snow or ice.

All-wheel drive: All-wheel drive is found on quite a few of our new Toyotas, and it’s key for driving in winter weather. This feature sends power to all four of your wheels when you need it (versus just two of them). This means you’ll get better traction and safer handling on snowy, icy roads. All-wheel drive makes it easier to accelerate, brake, and turn when conditions are slippery. Toyotas that have this feature definitely make the list of the best cars for winter driving.

Anti-lock brakes: Anti-lock brakes prevent your car’s brakes from locking up, which can prevent skidding and losing control in slippery winter conditions. Every single one of our new Orlando Toyotas has this feature.

Remote start: Remote start is also found on a lot of our Toyotas, and we think that’s one of the reasons why they’re some of the best cars for winter driving. This feature allows you to start your car either from your key fob or smartphone (depending on which Orlando Toyota you have). You can warm up the cabin and be nice and toasty when you slip into the driver’s seat.

Heated seats and steering wheels: Heated seats and steering wheels may not be a necessity for the safest cars for winter driving, but they definitely make things more pleasant. Having these features ensures you’re comfortable inside the cabin, no matter how cold it is outside.

Windshield wiper de-icers and washer jets: Ice and slush can make your wiper blades ineffective and block your car’s washer jets. That’s why if you live in an area that sees pretty decent winter weather, windshield wiper de-icers might be a good feature. Cars that have these have electric heating elements under the resting position of the blades and jets to melt ice.

The best car features for winter driving to add to your Toyota

And don’t forget about the add-ons. While cars typically aren’t sold with these features, they’re great for driving in snow and ice and can be added on seasonally.

Winter tires: Dedicated winter tires are also one of the best car features for winter driving, especially if you live in an area that regularly sees snow and ice. These tires are made of a special type of softer rubber that stays flexible in the cold. They also have deep grooves and small cuts that grip the road surface better than all-season tires.

Sn0w-friendly windshield wipers: If you live in an area that routinely sees decent amounts of snow, it might be wise to swap out your wipers during the winter. Snow-friendly beam wipers are one-piece wiper blades that have steel incorporated into the rubber. This gives them more uniform pressure on the windshield and the ability to wipe it clean more effectively.

Which new Toyotas are the best cars for winter driving?

If you want to look for a new Toyota suited for winter weather, here are the cars we recommend based on their features:

• Toyota Camry
• Toyota RAV4
• Toyota Highlander
• Toyota Sienna
• Toyota Crown
• Toyota Grand Highlander

However, those aren’t your only options when it comes to the best cars for winter driving. All you have to do is choose an Orlando Toyota that has the features listed above, and don’t forget that some of our cars offer winter weather packages that you can add on as well.

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.

• Fuel efficiency
• Interior + cargo space
• Top safety features
• Convenience features
• Affordable pricepoint

So let’s talk about what makes the new Toyota Highlander the best mid size SUV on the market right now.

Fuel efficiency: Here’s some good news – the 2024 Toyota Highlander comes in both gas and hybrid models. Both get great fuel efficiency when you take their size into consideration; here’s the MPG breakdown:

• The gas model gets 22 mpg in the city, 29 mpg on the highway, and 25 mpg combined.
• The hybrid model gets 35 mpg in the city, 34 mpg on the highway, and 35 mpg combined.

Either way, you’ll save when it comes to fuel costs when you choose this Orlando Toyota.

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. This Orlando Toyota offers both captain’s chairs and a bench seat for the second row, giving you options. To be super specific, you’ll have 139.5 cubic feet of cargo space.
• You’ll also have plenty of cargo room. With all three rows of seats occupied you’ll have 16 cubic feet of space. With the third row folded flat you’ll have 48 cubic feet of space, and you fold that second row flat you’ll get an incredible 84 cubic feet of space for gear.

Top safety features: The 2024 Toyota Highlander has all the safety technology you need to feel secure every time you hit the road. Here are some of the highlights we love most at Toyota of Orlando:

• A backup camera and/or panoramic view monitor
• Front and rear parking assist with automatic braking
• Blind spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert
• Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 and the Star Safety System
• Dynamic torque vectoring all-wheel drive
• Hill start assist control
• 3-point seatbelts for every seating position and the LATCH system for car seats

Convenience features: Chances are if you’re looking for the best mid size SUV, your life is busier than most people’s. The good news is the Orlando Toyota Highlander has tons of convenience features to make life on the go easier, including:

• Heated and ventilated seats as well as zoned automatic climate control for comfort
• HomeLink Universal garage door and gate opener
• Qi wireless charging for devices
• 14 cupholders

• Two 120-volt power outlets in the cargo area
• Five USB ports and four USB-C ports for charging
• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Toyota Connected Services like Remote Connect, WiFi Connect, Service Connect, Safety Connect, and Drive Connect

Affordable pricepoint: We know you want to know what you’ll have to shell out to get the best mid size SUV… so here goes. The 2024 Toyota Highlander has a starting MSRP of $39,250, while the 2024 Toyota Highlander Hybrid has a starting MSRP of $46,020.

The Toyota Corolla is one of the best-selling cars in the world – literally. It’s renowned on a global scale for its compact style, sporty performance, fuel efficiency, safety, cutting-edge technology… we could keep going, but we’re sure you get the idea. And on top of all that, an all-new Toyota Corolla Hot Hatch has been getting teased for months now and we expect to see it stateside sometime in 2022. Since its introduction to the automotive market back in the 1960s, it’s been full-steam ahead for this much-loved sedan.

The Toyota Corolla gets put to print

That’s why we weren’t surprised when Toyota hit the 50 million mark in terms of cars sold. It took 55 years to achieve the goal, and they’re celebrating in a big, big way – with a new original manga comic series that traces the history of the iconic Toyota Corolla.

This is a first for the automaker, and they’re pulling out all the stops. Here’s what we know about this Orlando Toyota Corolla-themed  manga series:

• It’s only been released in Japan (although we’re sure you’ll be able to work your internet magic and get a copy) and is entirely in Japanese.
• Additionally, it’s only available online – we don’t know yet if a printed copy will be released at any point.
• The comic traces the history of the iconic Toyota Corolla, hitting all the highlights in its illustrious life over the years.
• It starts in the 1960s (when the car first came out) with a father bringing how the first-generation model and taking his family out for a spin to experience it.
• The comic then hops to the 1970s and features a father-and-son duo having a talk while out for a drive.
• The 1980s portion of the series features the immensely popular AE86 Corolla, which is still a hot commodity to this day.
• The 1990s showcase a family taking the Toyota Corolla out for ice cream.
• Then, for some reason, the comic bypasses the 2000s and 2010s and hops right into the 2020s, and showcases the new top-of-the-line technology found in the Orlando Toyota Corolla.
• The illustrations are beautiful and also drawn in a period-correct style for each section.
• The stories are based on true-life experiences and photos that were submitted by actual Corolla owners.

However, if you’d rather get behind the wheel than see it in a manga series, you’re in luck – the 2022 Toyota Corolla is waiting for you at Toyota of Orlando. Here are some of the highlights you don’t want to miss on the latest model year:

• Nine different models to choose from, including a hybrid model, two unique Apex Special Editions, and a new Nightshade Edition
• Fuel efficiency of 31/40 mpg
• An affordable starting MSRP of just $20,075
• A spacious and sleek interior trimmed in sporty SofTex material
• Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Sirius XM Satellite Radio, and more for entertainment
• Remote connect capabilities

2021 was a year to remember (for a lot of reasons, some good, some bad, some just totally weird). For Toyota, it’s a year to remember for the good things. Although there were massive semi-conductor chip shortages, COVID-related shutdowns in factories and plants, and less inventory than usual, it still managed to come out on top in a big way. Drumroll, please: for the first time in 90 years straight, GM has been knocked out of the top-selling automaker spot by none other than Toyota. That’s right – Toyota was officially the top-selling automaker in America in 2021. 

Toyota knocks GM out of top-selling automaker spot

This is a big deal not only because it’s a huge accomplishment, but also because GM has held firm to spot numero uno for 90 years straight. Since 1931, it’s been in first place without missing a single year… until now. Here are some of the highlights:

• Toyota sold 2.3 million cars in the US in 2021, up 10.4% from 2020. GM sold 2.2 million cars, down 12.9% from the prior year.
• Toyota increased sales of both cars and trucks last year, with the Toyota Tacoma jumping up 5.7% in sales year over year.
• Alternative fuel vehicle sales were at 600,000 for the year, up 73%.
• Overall, top-selling models included the ever-popular Toyota Corolla, Toyota Camry, Toyota Tacoma, and Toyota Highlander, all of which were up in sales from last year.

So, why do people love Toyotas so much? We know we’re biased here at Toyota of Orlando, but the facts are the facts. Here are some of the reasons people just keep coming back to the Toyota family:

Variety. The Toyota lineup is impressive, spanning everything from compact and fuel-efficient hatchbacks to powerful trucks and spacious SUVS. Between the sedans, hatchbacks, trucks, SUVs, crossovers, and minivans up for grabs, consumers can find what they need (and want) in the expansive inventory lineup.

Reliability. Toyotas are renowned on a global level – not just a national level – for their incredible reliability. These cars last for decades and well into high-mileage and not only that, but they do it with minimal problems and repairs needed.

Affordability. Not only that, when you shop for an Orlando Toyota you know you’re going to find affordable options up for grabs. All of our vehicles come in multiple trim-levels and offer packages and options that allow you to stay within your budget and still find the car you need for all of your drive time needs.

Safety. It’s also well-known that Toyota is on top of their safety game. They have an entire facility in Ann Arbor, Michigan devoted solely to safety technology research and design, and their vehicles routinely get top IIHS safety ratings across the board.

Alternative fuel options. Finally, when you shop for Toyotas, you’ll have the option of getting an alternative fuel vehicle. Whether you want one for better fuel efficiency or just cleaner performance, you’ll be able to choose from hybrid vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, and soon (with the introduction of the bZ4X later this year) electric vehicles.

See for yourself why Toyota is #1 at Toyota of Orlando

Don’t take our word for it – see for yourself! Come down to Toyota of Orlando and take a test drive. We’re open seven days a week until 10 pm at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall. You can also shop online 24/7 OR call us at (407) 298-4500 to set up an appointment!

When you get your first car, it’s a pivotal moment in your life. Everyone can think of the time they got their first car. It’s a great feeling knowing that it’s yours and you can go wherever you want, whenever you want. In addition, owning a car opens up the gates to many new opportunities: going to meet-ups with your friends, to holiday dinners with your family, to the beach for a day of fun.  

However, there does come a time when the same car isn’t working as well as it used to, and although it’s served you well for many years, it’s costing you a fortune to keep up. 

So let’s talk about the 4 signs you need a new Orlando Toyota car in 2022. 

#1 It’s costing you more than it’s worth.

You constantly have to take your older car in to be serviced, and it’s costing you your time and money. So then, it’s safe to say that it might be time to consider buying a new Orlando Toyota. It’s great for vehicles to be scheduled for services routinely to maintain their good condition. However, if it’s breaking down more than twice a year, it might be time to call it quits. Especially if you need to have significant repairs like replacing radiators, exhaust systems and fixing major engine malfunctions, it might cost you less in the long run to buy a new car. 

#2 It doesn’t match your lifestyle anymore.

There are different Orlando Toyotas for different lifestyles, and maybe you’ve realized that your sedan isn’t going to be realistic for a growing family, or perhaps you need more durability to haul work equipment. Whatever the case is, stepping into a new stage of your life might mean adjusting the things you have to fit into it! 

#3 You feel unsafe in the car. 

It doesn’t feel safe thinking that your car might break down at any point and could be very dangerous if you are on the highway. If you have an old car, your vehicle might not have the most advanced safety features. Our Orlando Toyotas have Toyota Safety Sense that comes with a Pre-Collision System with Vehicle and Pedestrian Detection, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert, and Automatic High Beams. If you constantly feel unsafe in your car, upgrading with better safety features might be better. 

#4 You refuel more frequently than you should.

If you find yourself stopping at the gas station more than twice a week, this might be because your car has poor fuel efficiency. The latest vehicles come with better fuel efficiency and even electric models. For example, the 2022 Toyota Prius gets up to 58 mpg in the city and 53 mpg on the highway, so good! You might end up saving more money buying a new Orlando Toyota!

So you bought your new (or new to you) car, and now you’re ready to both customize it and take steps to ensure that it stays in the best condition possible. One of the best ways to achieve both of these goals is to invest in a set of floor mats. However, just like any other part of the car purchasing process, you’re going to have multiple options available to you – most commonly, you’ll have to choose between carpet mats and all-weather mats. We checked in with the experts at our Orlando Toyota parts store to see which was better, and here’s what they had to say.

Why you need floor mats at all

First of all, whichever you choose, you do need floor mats in your Orlando Toyota. Here are the top reasons why they’re a great investment:

• They protect your car. Just like the floor of your home, the floor of your car can easily get trashed. Muddy shoes, spilled coffee, crumbs… just existing in your vehicle can quickly destroy the carpet on the bottom of it, especially if you have kids or pets. Putting in floor mats will protect your car’s carpet, lead to fewer detailings, and keep your car’s resale value high over time as it keeps the interior cleaner and in better condition.
• They’re an easy way to customize your car. Floor mats come in various colors, textures, prints, and more. They’re a simple way to tailor the interior of your car without having to spend a ton of time or money to make it happen.

So, which type of floor mats should you invest in for your new Toyota? Here’s the breakdown between carpet mats and all-weather mats.

Carpet mats vs all-weather mats

Carpet mats have some pros, for sure. They’re cheaper, for starters, and you can find both OEM and aftermarket options that will fit your car. Additionally, they’re durable (usually made from Berber or other tough fabrics) and can be customized in terms of color, embroidery, etc. Finally, they’re less expensive than all-weather floor mats so if you’re on a budget, they’re a solid option

All-weather mats, on the other hand, also have their pros. They last longer than carpet mats, which do wear out over time (especially if abused). All-weather mats are also better at containing messes like mud, dirt, and liquids. These special floor mats are made of water-repellant rubber and have special grooves laser cut into them to contain spills. They’re simple to clean – you can simply shake them out or even rinse them with a hose – and they’re perfect for people who live in winter weather and regularly have to deal with snow, slush, ice, and mud.

Still not sure which you need for your new ride? Visit Toyota of Orlando today! We’re open seven days a week at 3575 Vineland Road (just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall) and our Toyota parts store is here to help you choose the perfect floor mats for your car. Call ahead of time for info at (407) 298-0001!
