Toyota news for the week of June 1

Welcome to June (and here’s to a better month than May, right?)! Toyota of Orlando is here to give you the latest and greatest news in the automotive world with a roundup of Toyota headlines and the details surrounding them. From new GR models to upcoming hybrids, we’ve got all the info you need. Read on!

The latest new Toyota news updates bring updated AND new models to market

The once-retired Toyota Venza will be making its way back onto the market for 2021! Toyota is reviving this sleek crossover in a hybrid model, offering yet another go-green solution for drivers who want something a little bit more sophisticated than a hatchback.

A brand-new Toyota GR86 may be hitting the streets in the summer of 2021, offering yet another Gazoo Racing option to the world. Similarly to the GR Supra, this new Toyota 86 will have a new platform, Gazoo Racing branding and badging, and will have a Subaru twin. Additionally, it supposedly will offer 255 horsepower (which is 50 more hp than the current model) and offer a turbocharger for extra get-up-and-go.

The new generation of the Orlando Toyota Tundra is coming, and with it bringing some pretty big updates. One notable change is a brand-new twin-turbo V6 hybrid engine option to replace the current V8 engine under the hood, as well as a new chassis built on the TNGA-F platform.

The Orlando Toyota Land Cruiser may be stepping back from the world of luxury in its upcoming iterations. Rumor has it Toyota will be stripping the plush SUV of its creature comforts (within reason, of course) and streamlining it so it reverts back to more of an off-road focus. Remember, the original Toyota Land Cruiser was built for tough terrain and had none of the luxury features it showcases today.

The new Toyota 4Runner and Toyota Sequoia will be part of all-new generations come 2022 – according to rumors, both will be based on the new Toyota Tundra headed our way.

The swagger wagon (new Toyota Sienna, as most people refer to it) is getting an upgrade AND going greener for the next model that’s likely to be at Toyota of Orlando this fall. Not only will it be redesigned, but it’ll also offer new technology AND be a hybrid model only.

We’ve seen the much-loved Toyota Corolla as both a sedan and a hatchback, but if speculation is right, a new Toyota Corolla crossover could be headed our way. It would get here in the latter half of 2021, and we think this rumor might go hand-in-hand with the rumor of a new Toyota Corolla wagon. Supposedly, Toyota recently patented the name “Toyota BZ” and people think it COULD be the name that will be used for the Toyota Corolla Touring, a wagon that currently exists in other countries. We’re leaning toward a crossover, but we’ll keep you posted!
