The Toyota Highlander is already known for being one of the sleekest SUVs out there. It's family-oriented, sure, and decked out with the latest and greatest safety technology to give you the peace of mind you deserve when you have precious cargo in the backseat. However, it's also sophisticated, polished, and modern both inside and out. Well, Toyota decided to take its design one step further and release a special edition model in the upcoming year. Toyota of Clermont has the details! Meet the latest Clermont Toyota special edition The all-new 2022 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Bronze Edition will arrive at dealerships sometime later this year, bringing an even edgier option to drivers seeking a family-friendly solution. It's a special edition, mind you, so it's likely that there won't be too many of them sold (all the more reason to jump on it as soon as it arrives). Here are some of the details of what we're expecting out of this Clermont Toyota SUV: A hybrid drivetrain, as noted, as well as front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. Bronze accents applied liberally inside and out. The outside will boast new 18" bronze wheels, while the interior will showcase bronze stitching, illuminated doorsills, badging, and other accents. A redesigned interior with mid-century modern flare integrated into the SofTex seats. Two new paint colors: Cement and Wind Chill Pearl. And not only that, this new Toyota Highlander will come standard with some pretty excellent features. You can expect to find: A digital rearview mirror A hands-free power liftgate A 1500W power outlet Rain-sensing windshield wipers Ambient lighting in the dash A power driver's seat that's 10-way adjustable, as well as passenger seats with height and tilt adjustments And did we mention the performance capabilities that you'll have when you get behind the wheel? As noted, this new Toyota SUV is all-wheel drive, and it has a separate rear-mounted electric motor that powers the back wheel exclusively. It has no mechanical connection between the transmission and rear wheels to improve understeering and prevent your front wheels from slipping when you accelerate in all-wheel drive. You'll also be able to tackle uneven or slippery terrain with ease. It's also incredibly fuel-efficient. You'll get a high-efficiency 2.5L 4-cylinder engine under the hood with two electric motors, all of which results in 36 mpg fuel efficiency (and a lot of saved gas, money, AND natural resources). See it in person at Toyota of Clermont later this year! There's no exact release date for this new Toyota SUV quite yet, but we'll be sure to let you know when it arrives at Toyota of Clermont. In the meantime, why not come check out the Toyota Highlander options we have on the lot? We're conveniently located just off the Florida Turnpike at 16851 State Road 50.

Toyota is like an ever-giving birthday gift. Every time you look, there's always something new to unpack and get excited about. For this week at Toyota of Clermont, we have 2 new Toyota Tacomas coming soon, Paul Walker's Toyota Supra from The Fast and the Furious (yes, that Toyota Supra) is heading to Barrett-Jackson, and there's a Nightshade Prius coming soon. Without further adieu, let's dive into the latest news from Toyota! There's Always Something New with Toyota New Toyota Tacoma Mystery Pair For all the taco fans out there, Toyota has heard your cries and there are now not one, but two Toyota Tacomas coming soon! The Tacoma is likely not going to receive a total style and engineering overhaul, like it's bigger sibling, the Clermont Tundra, but it will be getting something new. Toyota has released two side-by-side images of the wheels of the new trucks and there are a few things we can determine. In one image, the Toyota Tacoma the wheel is attached to is painted a highlighter/neon yellow and there's a TRD cap on the wheel. If this tells us anything, it's that Toyota is likely going to release a new paint color option for it's TRD line and it's likely to be this yellow seen here. In the other, we see a bronze colored wheel attached to a white and/or silver new Toyota Tacoma. While the paint color is likely nothing new, we can see that the "TOYOTA" logo on the wheel is an older/vintage design. It might be a left-field speculation, but this might be a heritage or retro-inspired design option for the next model year. The 10th Nightshade Fam Member Toyota's Clermont Nightshade is exuding popularity. Many new Toyota's with these design options attached don't stay too long at our dealership and it looks like there's another one to add to the list. Currently, the list includes the 4Runner, C-HR, Avalon, Camry, Sequoia, Corolla, Corolla Hatchback, Tundra, and Tacoma. The Prius would become the 10th member of the Nightshade lineup and include similar accessories to its counterparts. It's possible that the new Toyota Prius could receive additional upgrades like a different front bumper (similar to the Highlander XSE) or an added rear diffuser. No official word on pricing or release date, yet. But, Toyota plans to fully unveil both of the Clermont Toyota Tacoma models and the Nightshade Prius on June 2nd. Paul Walker's Supra is Heading to Auction Love the movies or not (if you don't, what's your problem?), you can't deny that the Fast Saga had a lot to do with the new Toyota Supra's renewed popularity. Almost everyone has seen Brian O'Conner's iconic Lamborghini Orange MkIV Supra at some point or another. Now, it can be yours! If you manage to be the highest bidder in a no-reserve Barrett-Jackson auction, that is. The vehicle was used, according to Barrett-Jackson, for "multiple interior and exterior shots" during production and comes with a great deal of documentation to verify that claim. We're sure this Clermont Toyota Supra will soar in price once it makes it to the auction floor! Thanks for catching up on the latest Toyota news with us!

Another weekend has come and gone here at Toyota of Clermont and that means a new serving of new Toyota news has been dished out! It's the best way to start the week and today's headlines are sure to excite you, our readers. Today, we have even more spy material of the upcoming Toyota Land Cruiser, new anti-theft technology for catalytic converters, and the actual truth of Toyota's North American electric vehicle (EV) plan. Let's dive in! Get Ready for Some New Toyota News! Toyota Anti-Theft Tech We're sure you've seen in several headlines for areas around Clermont talking about catalytic converter theft. For those who don't know what those, catalytic converters (catty for short) are auto parts attached to your vehicle's exhaust system to purify what comes out of your tailpipe. For many new Toyota vehicles, these parts are made of precious metals like platinum, rhodium, and palladium. Naturally, these metals are worth a pretty penny when harvested correctly and in larger amounts. Again, naturally, some develop questionable side-hustles and many have found themselves missing their catties. To solve this issue, Toyota has developed a new self-subsidized technology to better track and retrieve stolen catties. In a partnership with a company called Smartwater (not the bottled water, silly), they've produced marking kits that effectively make it easier to track down the precious metal containing catties. Commonly, older models are targeted because they're often outside the bounds of a dealership network and they still contain enough metal in their catalytic converters to make it worth putting up on blocks. Unfortunately, this program is only available in the UK currently. Toyota's Real Plan for North American Electrification Toyota has been a frequently outspoken proponent of pumping the brakes on electrifying the entire automotive industry. Whether or not you agree with the idea that BEVs are the solution to cleaning up the automotive industry's contribution to global emissions, you have to admit that they're hella cool, convenient, and a great alternative to gasoline power. Many major automotive manufacturers are working to make BEVs out of many of their huge nameplates. Toyota released the concept for the bZ4X just a short time ago and many were excited about this upcoming EV. But, Toyota's overall plan is to manufacture more hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles (around 70% of their total sales output in North America) rather than Clermont new Toyota EVs (only about 15% of total sales). It's likely that Toyota will manufacture and allot most of their battery EVs to areas, like California, with more emission restrictions rather than North America as a whole. The New Toyota Land Cruiser is Super Leaky Many are calling it Toyota's worst kept secret and, tbh, that's pretty accurate. But, we're not complaining! If it comes between knowing what's coming next from Toyota and not knowing, we'd take the former every time. Various spy photos of what looks like the upcoming new Toyota Land Cruiser were revealed last week and now we've seen leaked video footage of the vehicle driving and making a right turn! With the new Toyota Land Cruiser being this leaky, it's likely that Toyota will issue a formal announcement for it toward the end of the month. If that happens, you'll be the first to know!

Just when you think you have things figured out, the universe sends you a little surprise to make you check yourself. For most of us that's a surprise bill we forgot to pay, or forgetting to get gas before heading to work on a Monday morning. But for those of us at Toyota of Clermont, this feeling comes when Toyota does some surprising stuff that we, obviously weren't expecting. It's even worse when that thing has been going on for quite some time and we weren't at all aware. Turns out, Toyota has been developing a turbocharged powerhouse V8 engine right under our noses since 2019. Don't worry, reader. We are also scratching our heads. Here at Toyota of Clermont we're running through the specifics to riddle through what exactly is going on with this engine and what that means going forward. Let's get it! Always Expect the Unexpected Just about every article we've delivered regarding the new Tundra has been all about how Toyota plans to get rid of its V8 engine for a twin-turbo V6. So, why are they filing patents for this type of Clermont Toyota engine now? Here are a few points to consider. The Engine Will Likely Go in a Lexus Model Being so wrapped up in Toyota models here at Toyota of Clermont, we often forget about Toyota's luxurious little sibling, Lexus. Toyota's luxury brand is highly sought-after and desirable to drivers everywhere and it's an experimental playground. This is where Toyota plans to develop and patent self-driving technology, after all. This engine, being so overpowered, could be featured in Lexus' F (Flagship) line of performance vehicles in the near future. Most models currently use a 5.0L V8 so it wouldn't be surprising to see a supercharged version. It Could be Used in the Tundra or a New Land Cruiser Wait, wait, wait, hear us out. This new super-charged engine could make it's way into the Clermont Toyota Tundra or possibly a new North American Land Cruiser. Yes, this is heavily contradictory to just about everything we've told you about the upcoming Toyota truck, but think about it. Most other automotive brands are expanding their truck lineups to include hybrid and electric versions and decreasing engine sizes in the name of better fuel efficiency. Toyota could be taking a step in the other direction to keep the heavy engine segment alive in the truck world. But, the configuration in the patent, what's known as a Hot-V, is typically featured in luxury and performance vehicles (think Porsche, Cadillac, Aston Martin, etc.). While we're not saying that the Clermont Toyota Tundra is undeserving of a V8 engine like that, it wouldn't make much sense from a financial point. Plus, Toyota confirmed that the truck lineup will be seeing electrification soon. Bringing a powerhouse V8 engine back into the equation wouldn't seem like the right move. But, that's not to say that this type of Clermont engine couldn't make its way under the hood of a new North American Land Cruiser. We'll see soon enough! Shop with Toyota of Clermont Today!

Technology is such an interesting thing. What we at one point deem impossible, at some point becomes possible and the cycle continues infinitely. Without getting too existential here, who would have thought that we could power a vehicle with an electric battery or hydrogen fuel? While many are still hung up on that point, Toyota has done the impossible and created a turbo-charged hydrogen combustion engine. What? Anyway, it's Monday and we at Toyota of Clermont are here with some new Toyota news that's sure to delight and kickstart your week on the right foot. Follow along with us for more info on that hydrogen combustion engine (HCE?) and some cool leaks of the possible new Land Cruiser. A 24-Hour Endurance Race, a Lot of Hydrogen, and a Combustion Engine A dive into Toyota can show you that this automotive manufacturer likes to engage in several extra-curriculars. Racing is one of those things and Toyota does a bang-up job on the track. While it often takes track-ready Toyotas to the raceway, our namesake has combined two polar opposite engineering structures to make a whole new monster. A Clermont new Toyota Corolla Sport has been retrofitted with a turbo-charged 3-cylinder engine (getting GR Yaris vibes, are we?) and it's powered by, wait for it, hydrogen? Toyota will be racing in the 24-hour Super Taikyu race in Fuji and will be using a vehicle powered by combustible hydrogen to do it. But, how can you combust hydrogen like gas? Why not just use fuel-cell technology like in the Clermont new Toyota Mirai? While we can't dive too deep into specifics (we're not engineers), it's possible this is just a engineering exercise by Toyota. Combusting hydrogen in this manner, while feasible and a cool concept, does come with its drawbacks. There's a huge reduction in overall fuel-efficiency and nitrous oxide, a well-known greenhouse gas, is emitted as a result. But, still pretty cool though. Spy Photos of the New Toyota Land Cruiser Emerge Yes, we're still crying here at Toyota of Clermont over the news that the new Toyota Land Cruiser is being retired in North America. The legend may be seemingly dead in this part of the world but globally it will continue to thrive. And who knows, maybe the Land Cruiser will grace our dealership sometime again in the future. For now, we can only look to the fortune of our international friends as they receive variants of this tough-as-nails SUV. To make us more envious, some spy shots have leaked of the new Toyota Land Cruiser and we're in our feels right now. While we can't show the photos here, we at Toyota of Clermont can help you paint a good mental picture. The 300-Series Cruiser will have a longer and wider-looking front bumper with plenty of flashy horizontal grid-lines in the grille. The boxy look that's been repped by the new Toyota Land Cruiser is definitely here to stay and the rear gives off vibes of the Prado. One huge change is likely coming to the cabin. The photos we have on hand don't reveal much, but we can make out a completely remixed infotainment display and instrument cluster. And there you have it! Have a great week and thanks for tuning into our Monday new Toyota news! Ready to shop for a new ride? Visit Toyota of Clermont today at 16851 State Road 50.

Well, our readers, we finally did it! All that waiting, all that anticipation, it finally paid off! Toyota has released its first set of news regarding its upcoming electric car and, boy, are we excited! Not only that, but we have some additional news regarding electrification that we know you're going to love hearing. So, without further adieu, let us at Toyota of Clermont take you on a trip through the latest headlines. The News You've All Been Waiting For! Toyota's new electric car concept is one that we're immensely excited to share with you and we can't wait to welcome it here at Toyota of Clermont. This is a huge deal. Toyota is finally entering the BEV game and it's doing so in a big way. Between all the Tesla beef we wondered if we'd ever get to this point. Toyota bZ4X Details Before we get too ahead of ourselves daydreaming about driving this iconic new Toyota electric car, here are some initial details confirmed by Toyota in their press release: The new Clermont Toyota electric car will be called the bZ4X. "bZ" stands for "Beyond Zero," Toyota's new campaign regarding zero emissions. The "4X" could be describing the number of doors or the drivetrain. We're not entirely sure as of this writing. For the bZ4X, AWD will be the standard drivetrain. This new Clermont Toyota electric car will be done in collaboration with Subaru and built on Toyota's new dedicated e-TNGA platform for BEVs. The concept vehicle features unique designs like a long wheelbase, short overhangs, and an open concept interior space. For the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, the bZ4X model showcased a "yoke" style steering wheel. While we're not sure if this particular feature will make its way to North America, we'd be ecstatic if it did! Toyota will begin production of this model in Japan and China with the goal of beginning sales in 2022. The product details for this Clermont electric car will be revealed at a later date for the U.S. Apart from specific news regarding the amazing-looking bZ4X, Toyota also revealed some additional news that's sure to excite. Toyota is planning on expanding its global lineup to include around 70 electric cars. These will not all be BEVs. This will include various hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and 15 dedicated BEVs. 7 of these 15 BEVs will carry the bZ moniker (Beyond Zero). This is to help Toyota achieve its carbon neutrality goal by 2050. While it doesn't state specifics regarding this pledge, Toyota does make clear that it plans on bringing both hybrid and BEV powertrains to the truck lineup. This is massive news and it could further point to what many internet sleuths and Toyota enthusiasts are thinking right now. That Toyota plans on making a hybrid Toyota Tundra for the 2022 model year. While it may not happen that soon, the thought of driving around an electric car Clermont Toyota Tacoma or Tundra sounds exhilarating.

Toyota bZ4X Details Before we get too ahead of ourselves daydreaming about driving this iconic new Toyota electric car, here are some initial details confirmed by Toyota in their press release: The new Clermont Toyota electric car will be called the bZ4X. "bZ" stands for "Beyond Zero," Toyota's new campaign regarding zero emissions. The "4X" could be describing the number of doors or the drivetrain. We're not entirely sure as of this writing. For the bZ4X, AWD will be the standard drivetrain. This new Clermont Toyota electric car will be done in collaboration with Subaru and built on Toyota's new dedicated e-TNGA platform for BEVs. The concept vehicle features unique designs like a long wheelbase, short overhangs, and an open concept interior space. For the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, the bZ4X model showcased a "yoke" style steering wheel. While we're not sure if this particular feature will make its way to North America, we'd be ecstatic if it did! Toyota will begin production of this model in Japan and China with the goal of beginning sales in 2022. The product details for this Clermont electric car will be revealed at a later date for the U.S. Apart from specific news regarding the amazing-looking bZ4X, Toyota also revealed some additional news that's sure to excite. Toyota is planning on expanding its global lineup to include around 70 electric cars. These will not all be BEVs. This will include various hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and 15 dedicated BEVs. 7 of these 15 BEVs will carry the bZ moniker (Beyond Zero). This is to help Toyota achieve its carbon neutrality goal by 2050. While it doesn't state specifics regarding this pledge, Toyota does make clear that it plans on bringing both hybrid and BEV powertrains to the truck lineup. This is massive news and it could further point to what many internet sleuths and Toyota enthusiasts are thinking right now. That Toyota plans on making a hybrid Toyota Tundra for the 2022 model year. While it may not happen that soon, the thought of driving around an electric car Clermont Toyota Tacoma or Tundra sounds exhilarating.
