Trying to figure out which compact SUV is going to be the right fit for your drive time? You've got plenty of options on the market (including here at Toyota of Clermont) - this segment is one of the hottest and most popular things to buy right now. However, too many choices can be overwhelming and our Clermont Toyota dealership is here to help you whittle down the options - were comparing the 2022 Toyota RAV4 to the 2022 Kia Sportage. See how the 2022 Kia Sportage stacks up against the 2022 Toyota RAV4 First, let's discuss performance - we know it can be a deal-breaker for some drivers. Here's the breakdown of how the 2022 Toyota RAV4 compares to the 2022 Kia Sportage in this arena. The 2022 Toyota RAV4 outperforms the 2022 Kia Sportage when it comes to horsepower - its 2.5L 4-cylinder engine gets 22 more horsepower and is also faster. It's faster than the Kia Sportage in the 0-30, 0-60, 45-65, and quarter mile speed tests. It's also more fuel-efficient. The FWD model gets 27/35 mpg in comparison to the Sportage's 23.30 mpg, and the AWD model gets 27/34 mpg compared to the Sportage's 22/26 mpg. The 2022 Toyota RAV4 additionally offers an automatic engine start/stop system - this is when the engine turns off at stoplights, in traffic, etc. to conserve fuel and cut down on emissions. This Orlando Toyota has a shorter stopping distance than its Kia competition - 161 feet compared to 174 feet for coming to a complete stop from 70 mph. Further, the Toyota RAV4's standard 8-speed automatic transmission is better for acceleration and a smoother ride, while the Kia Sportage only has a 6-speed automatic transmission under the hood. You'll be able to tow more in this Orlando Toyota, too. It can tow up to 3,500 lbs behind it while the Kia competition maxes out at 2,000 lbs. The new Toyota RAV4 also surpasses the Kia Sportage in terms of safety. It offers advantages like standard front AND rear seatbelt pretensioners, a driver's side knee airbag, a standard secondary collision brake to prevent further collisions in an accident, parking assist with automatic braking, and Safety Connect Services with GPS tracking. It also brings an optional Bird's Eye View camera into the picture, something that the Kia competition doesn't offer. Further, the 2022 Toyota RAV4 performed better in NHTSA tests including the side-impact and refined side-impact tests, and the 35 mph front crash tests. What about comfort? The 2022 Toyota RAV4 has some obvious advantages when compared to its Kia competition, including: Power memory seats, a power parking brake with power and automatic release, and one-touch up-down power front and rear windows. Some models that offer automatic windshield wipers (on the Kia, you have to manually adjust them yourself) More front headroom and shoulder room, as well as more rear headroom and shoulder room More cargo space in the rear. With the back seats up, it offers 37.6 cubic feet of cargo space vs. the Kia's 30.7, and with the back seats down it offers 69.8 cubic feet vs. the Kia's 60.1 cubic feet. And let's not forget about value and reliability. Consumer Reports reported that Toyota (ranked 2nd) is a more reliable brand than Kia (ranked 15th), and this particular Orlando Toyota offers much better resale value than its Kia counterpart. Here are a few other things to consider: You'll get 2 years or 25,000 miles of no-cost car maintenance in a new Toyota RAV4; the Kia Sportage offers no free maintenance. According to the CarBook and IntelliChoice, the 2022 Toyota RAV4 is cheaper to own. It offers cheaper repairs and more affordable fuel, fees, insurance, maintenance, financing, and less depreciation. It also has a 5-year corrosion warranty with no mileage limits, while the Kia Sportage maxes out at 100,000 miles. Make this new Toyota yours at Toyota of Clermont Why not see for yourself?

When you're out on a spring break road trip, make sure you follow the rules of the road to keep yourself and your passengers safe.

Spring is here and with it brings plenty of warm weather and sunshine. We're ready to get outside and start enjoying watersports again now that the lakes, springs and rivers around Clermont won't be so icy cold. Check out Toyota of Clermont 's top picks for the best places to kayak and canoe around our community, and start packing up your car to hit the road! Lake Louisa State Park: If you live in Clermont and you haven't been to Lake Louisa State Park yet, we don't really know what you're doing with your life. This incredible park has three separate lakes to explore and sits mere minutes from downtown Clermont on US-27. As long as you can hand-carry your vessel to the water, you can use it (but no gasoline motors). Plus, Dixie Lake Outpost rents two-person canoes as well as single and tandem kayaks if you don't have them or don't want to bring your own gear. There's also hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and camping, to name just a few other activities you can do off the water. Lake Minneola: Lake Minneola has a beautiful waterfront park - Waterfront Park - in Clermont where you can launch your kayaks, canoes, and boats. Plus, there's a beachfront area with a cabana, playground, and water park for the kids to relax in and enjoy when you get back from exploring Lake Minneola, which is 1,906 acres big (so plenty to see). There's even a pier you can walk out on, as well as a nearby restaurant where you can enjoy food and drink waterside. And don't forget about the biking and walking trail around the lake when you're ready to get off the water! Palatlahaka River Park: This beautiful park offers access to the Clermont Chain of Lakes and the Crooked River via a launch for kayaks, paddleboards, and canoes. It has two fishing piers you can use to catch freshwater fish, as well as a playground for the kids and a pavilion with grills for when you return. See what Florida marsh wilderness REALLY looks like in this 2.5 mile loop that also allows you to head out into the scenic nearby river. Crooked River Preserve: Crooked River Preserve is beautiful, but it's also got some pretty cool history attached to it. It sits at the northernmost edge of Lake Wales Ridge and used to be an island when Florida was still mostly underwater in ancient seas. There's a hiking trail (biking not recommended - it's soft sand) as well as a canoe launch near the trailhead. You can reserve canoes in advance and bring your lunch to enjoy a day on the water. Cypress Cove Marina on Lake Minnehaha: This beautiful lakeside getaway is one-of-a-kind. Not only can you rent tiny homes on the water (they're amazing) and RV sites for camping, but you can also rent kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards to explore Lake Minnehaha. Plus, there's a lakeside bar that boasts live music and food trucks on the weekend, as well as boat slips if you want to bring your boat along for the ride. The time change is this weekend which means we get an extra hour of daylight - don't let it go to waste! Explore Clermont and from our Clermont Toyota family to yours, enjoy it!

Social media can be a great place to connect, learn, explore, and get creative - but it can also be a source of nightmare fuel, as evidenced by the woman who posted pictures of a snake crawling out of her car's A/C vent while she was driving. Can snakes really get into your HVAC system and slither into the cabin of your car? What should you do if you're in this situation? Toyota of Clermont is here to explain the facts behind snakes in your car and how to handle this scary scenario. Can you really get snakes in your car? Toyota of Clermont is here to explain. Unfortunately, snakes in your car are a real possibility (sorry). This is especially true in Florida, where we have a decently sized snake population and lots of new construction that's ousting them from their homes. Snakes seem to have a certain affinity for your Clermont Toyota's engine compartment in particular, and here's why: Snakes prefer to hide in dark, warm places. They're cold-blooded, so they have to seek warmth from external sources (like a nice, warm engine). Plus, your engine compartment is a safe place to hide out from predators - not only are there lots of nooks and crannies to take cover in, it also provides the snake a great advantage in that they can strike before a predator can reach them. On top of that, your car's engine bay is easy to reach. It's open to the ground and easy access for a snake who happens to be slithering underneath and looks up. So yup, you can get snakes in your car... at least in the engine compartment. However, it's rare for them to get inside the cabin of your Clermont Toyota. Your car's cabin is pretty much sealed off from the outside except for the doors and windows. So if you keep them closed when you're not in the vehicle, you should be good to go. And yes, you need to keep the windows closed - snakes are great climbers and can scale the side of your car to plop in the open window faster than you'd think. But what about the A/C system, like the lady who had a snake crawl out of a vent? This is super uncommon. Your HVAC system is sealed from the outside, so nothing can get in through it. What's more likely is that a snake found its way into the woman's car and slipped into the A/C vent, hanging out there until she turned the air on and forced it out. OK, so what do you do if you get a snake in your car? Here are a few Clermont Toyota tips: Don't try to grab it with your hands. Remember, the snake has an advantage and can likely strike and bite you before you can get it. Instead, use a long pole, broom, etc. to try and remove it from your car. If you can't get it (or can't stomach getting it), call animal control or wildlife services to help you. Don't just leave it in the engine compartment and hope it finds its way out. Snakes can get wrapped up in moving belts and also cause electrical fires, so it definitely needs to be removed. We've got answers to all of your car care questions! Still have questions or want advice on car care in general? Call Toyota of Clermont today at (352) 404-7001. We're open seven days a week and conveniently located at 16851 State Road 50, just west of the Florida Turnpike!

However, you've got another item to add - finding the best Toyota financing deals. How do you do it? Toyota of Clermont is here with tips. Before you start looking for Toyota financing deals, however, you have to understand what financing is. Here's the breakdown: When you finance a new car, you're basically taking out a loan and then paying said loan off over a designated period of time. Once it's paid off, the car is yours. If you buy a car with cash and pay for it all upfront, you won't finance. Leasing is not the same thing as financing. When you lease a new Toyota, you're essentially renting it. You'll pay a monthly payment for a certain number of months, and when that time period is over you turn the car back in and start over with a different vehicle. Financing and leasing both have their perks, and it really depends on which of these methods is most compatible with your needs and preferences. Now let's talk about finding the best Toyota financing deals. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you navigate the process: It helps to know your credit score. Check your credit score before you start shopping for a new Toyota and a Toyota financing deal to go along with it. This will help prevent any errors in the process (you can make sure your score is correct), and you'll also be able to find compatible deals quickly so you can narrow your options and decide which is best for you. Older models can get you better deals. If you shop a model year back, you might be privy to better Toyota financing deals. For example, if 2023 models are arriving at a dealership, the dealership may have better deals on 2022 models so they can clear them off the lot and make room for the 2023 models instead. Don't shop in-demand models if you can help it. Models that are brand-new or high in demand may be more difficult to find deals on since they're so wanted.
