With all of Toyota's moves it's been making lately, it's no surprise that we're seeing changes to the finest points of our beloved lineup vehicles. Toyota's lineup is highly popular and loved, but customers have oft voiced their concerns about a particular touchpoint that's kinda important. The car infotainment system is the next aspect of Toyota ripe for change and the changes with this one are big! More convenient, more advanced, better. Toyota of Clermont is here to break down the latest info we have on this new Toyota advancement. Let's dive in! The Next Generation in Multimedia The car infotainment system is a cornerstone of the interior of your ride. You need it for music, A/C display, GPS, and a myriad of other things throughout your drive. For a lot of customers and Toyota drivers out there, the current Entune infotainment suite is a little less than clean. Most drivers prefer to plug in their devices (the old school way) and use Android Auto or Apple CarPlay for their infotainment needs. Instead, Toyota has spent the past few years developing a new and improved form of in-vehicle experience. While this car infotainment system doesn't have a formal name in the Toyota realm, it's called the Lexus Interface. Here's what we know about the Clermont infotainment system so far: This new car infotainment system has been designed and developed in North America. The project involved heavy consideration from consumer comments and criticism of the current Clermont infotainment system. There will be multiple screen sizes to choose from when it comes to compatibility with this new system. Depending on the Toyota model, the screen can range from 8 to 14-inches. For customers, this new system should mirror using a smartphone with ease of access to all apps and functions. Toyota is aiming to compete with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay in an effort to keep the in-car-experience cohesive. GPS is all new with this new car infotainment system. It can run on 100% cloud capability which makes for faster and more accurate directions. Toyota is also introducing a new program with this Clermont infotainment system. It's called the Human Machine Interface (HMI) and provides a more seamless experience through touch, sight, sound, and voice. There's a new virtual assistant included in the infotainment mix. This program is intended to be the primary way drivers and users interact with the system. User Profiles can also be used to customize settings and preferences for multiple specific drivers. Digital Key is an additional feature that connects to your smartphone and allows drivers to access key features of their vehicle through an app. It works by connecting via bluetooth when in range of the vehicle. Over the Air updates will be used to reduce the need for 3rd party technology and tools. This will create a more seamless process for software development. Ready to shop with us?

The slew of new Toyota news we've seen these past few days has been exciting and truly magical. When Toyota seemed all but slumped in hibernation, they came out swinging with more news than we could process through. Being as big of fans as we are (guilty), we can't help but share in the excitement! For the Supra, the spotlight has been aimed and focused, but another fan-favorite sibling is ready to steal the show. The 2022 Toyota 86 is coming soon and we have all the details for this new sportscar here at Toyota of Clermont. Let's check out the details right here! What's New With the Toyota 86? Before it was the Scion FR-S, then the Subaru BRZ, now the Toyota 86 (still the BRZ, btw). For several years this new Toyota sportscar sported a low, assertive stance that was enhanced by a unique boxer engine. Now, there's an all new model coming out. Here are the initial details: The Clermont new Toyota 86 will now be called the GR 86 as it's absorbed under the Gazoo Racing umbrella. Body construction is exceptionally light but nimble. The 86 is designed with aluminum roof panels and fenders. It's curb weight clocks in at a little over 2,800 pounds. There's also a horsepower upgrade in store for the mighty sportscar. A 2.4L naturally aspirated horizontally opposed 4-cylinder engine sits under the hood and reps 228 horsepower (compared to 205 from previous model years). Owners can choose between 6-speed manual and automatic transmissions (we recommend manual if you're going for that true new Toyota sportscar feel). With more horsepower, torque, and a lighter build, you can bet that the 0-60 time is shorter than ever. Expect an astonishing 6.1 seconds on a manual transmission and 6.6 seconds on the automatic transmission. The Clermont Toyota 86 will be available in 2 trim grades, GR 86 and GR 86 Premium. Drivers can choose between 7 paint color options, including an exclusive color called Track bRED. The interior features Alcantara and leather accents and silver accent pieces. And so much more! The Clermont new Toyota 86 is designed to harken back to the original AE86. In Japan, this iconic vehicle (featured in the anime, Initial D) was called "hachi-roku," or 8-6. All throughout the build and design of the GR 86 you can find call-backs to the original AE86. A low overall height, horizontally extended fender tops, and iconic 2+2 RWD. The MATRIX "G Mesh" Grille is functional and enhances performance and style. Torsen limited-slip rear differential and RWD platform. MacPherson strut front and double wishbone rear suspension and 11.6 and 11.4-inch vented front and rear brakes make mountain braking effortless. The Clermont new Toyota GR 86 is scientifically designed to be a perfect blend of both old and new. This creates one of the most agile, efficient, responsive, and fun to drive cars out there.

The Toyota Land Cruiser is one of the most iconic when it comes to Toyota. It holds a world-wide reputation for being extremely capable and one of the coolest vehicles around. Unfortunately, because of its high sticker price and lackluster fuel efficiency scoring, the Cruiser is doomed to be retired in North America. For now, anyway. But, globally, the Toyota Land Cruiser will continue to do what it does best. While we're waving goodbye to the Land Cruiser here in Clermont, we can't help but feel a tad envious of other places A) still producing the Land Cruiser and B) the Land Cruiser models those places can use. To kick off your weekend with a little envy, we at Toyota of Clermont have catalogued some of the coolest Land Cruiser models you can't get here. Let's dive in! Land Cruisers Exclusive to Elsewhere Technically on this list we could have included the current North American 200 Series Toyota Land Cruiser (because it's going bye bye), but since we've had that model here in Clermont since the mid-2000s, we'll go ahead and gloss it over. Here are some iconic Land Cruiser models you're going to wish would make their way this side of the globe: Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series - South Africa, South America, Australia, etc. The 70 Series Clermont Toyota Land Cruiser is an instant classic and you can tell from a first glance. The 70 Series contains two models, the 76 and the 79. For the 76 Toyota Land Cruiser, it sports the boxy body of a typical Cruiser but evokes 80s vibes that we're totally here for. It has a 4.5-liter V8 under the hood and 4x4 drivetrain that makes it a true off-roading beast. Its counterpart, the 79, uses a similar engine but instead of using a wagon body design it adds a truck bed to the mix. Yeah, seriously. Buyers can choose between and single and double cab, depending on the amount of storage space/utility they need, and it still includes 4x4 drivetrain. Toyota Land Cruiser Prado - Japan, Europe, Australia, Asia The Clermont Toyota Land Cruiser Prado is a modern model that closely resembles the 200-Series of North America, but it's known here as the Lexus GX. The Prado is currently in its 4th generation (since 2009) and contains a great many options. Over 6 engine options, 5 transmission types, and a variety of interior features are also available. Recent spy photos we saw here at Toyota of Clermont show a vehicle believed to be a new Toyota Land Cruiser series, but it does look eerily familiar to the Prado and could just be a facelifted version to be released soon. The Toyota Land Cruiser is iconic globally and, while it's being retired at Toyota of Clermont, we're confident that it will make its way back to North America in time. Perhaps with a smaller engine and a greater emphasis on off-roading and agility as opposed to heavy luxury. Ready to shop with us? Visit Toyota of Clermont at 16851 State Road 50 today!

Earlier this week we dropped the news that Toyota has been hard at work patenting a brand-new turbocharged V8 engine. For what, we have no idea. However, we do know that it'll likely go in one Toyota and one Lexus and that it'll be a twin-turbo setup. We've discussed turbocharged engines in the past, but today we're diving a bit deeper into the logistics of a twin-turbo configuration and exactly what that could mean for your drive time. Check it out! How is a twin-turbo different from a turbocharged engine? A turbocharged engine - as you probably already know - is an engine that uses turbine power and forced induction to push extra compressed air into the combustion chamber of the engine. This extra air means that extra fuel also has to be pushed in so the fuel/air ratio can be maintained, the extra fuel burns faster than it would in a normally aspirated engine, and voila - this results in a boost of power to your ride. You won't find this type of engine in any old car, either - it's usually found in sports cars like the Toyota Supra or larger trucks and SUVs. OK, so what's a twin-turbo engine then? Basically, it's exactly what it sounds like. It's when an engine has two turbochargers pushing extra compressed air into the combustion chamber to get the "boost". The turbochargers can be different sizes and can be laid out in different configurations to get the final effect you want. Let's take a look at the three most common types of layouts so you can better understand their benefits. Three types of twin-turbo layouts Parallel twin-turbo engines lay out similarly sized turbochargers in a parallel design. In this setup, each turbocharger gets half of the gases. It's best used in "v" engines (V6 and V8) because then each turbocharger can be assigned to one cylinder bank, which cuts down on the amount of exhaust piping needed for the system. This setup also reduces lag, a common issue in turbocharged vehicles, because it uses two smaller turbochargers instead of just one large one. Sequential twin-turbo engines have two turbochargers, but one is used for low speeds and one (or sometimes, both) is used for high speeds. A problem that you sometimes see in turbocharged cars is that it's difficult to get that boost of power if your RPMs are low. By using a small turbocharger for low speeds and a larger turbocharger for high speeds, this problem is erased. Series twin-turbo engines have the turbochargers set up in a sequence or series. The output from the first turbocharger is then further compressed by the second turbocharger for a serious pressure buildup and a large boost of power. We don't know just yet what Toyota has in store for us with their new turbocharged V8 engine, but hopefully we'll find out soon enough. In the interim, give us a call for any and all info regarding turbochargers or even just engines in general. Toyota of Clermont is open seven days a week at (352) 404-7000 and conveniently located just off the Florida Turnpike at 16851 State Road 50.

Toyota has been releasing headline creating news constantly as of late. We've received monumentous news regarding the electrification initiative, Beyond Zero, a new special edition trim level for the 2022 Sienna, 2 new 3-row 8-passenger SUVs have been announced, and so much more. It's truly a great time to be a fan of Toyota and the news coverage shows. One major talking point amongst all the announcements lately has been the current status and whereabouts of the new Toyota Tundra. Fans of the full-sized pickup have been speculating for quite some time as to when a new model will be released, what it will look like, how it will be engineered, and so on. To keep things convenient, we at Toyota of Clermont have condensed all the latest info and rumors into one place so you don't have to browse through too many articles and press releases. The New Toyota Tundra. On a Need to Know Basis The arrival of the new Toyota Tundra has been surrounded by rumors and speculation regarding just about every aspect of it. It hasn't been officially announced and spy shots we've seen have only given us so much to go on. But, we do know a few things and have a few credible rumors to go off of so far. Say Goodbye to That V8 Engine One sticking rumor we've run into quite a bit is that the Clermont new Toyota Tundra is likely going to ditch the 5.7L V8 engine that's been a mainstay under the hood. The Tundra has used its V8 engine for years with little to no adjustments made. While it affords power and a super capable amount of towing (it towed a space shuttle), it does mean that fuel efficiency has taken a huge back seat. Many full-sized pickups out there have been engineered to be capable fuel sippers and Toyota is likely to follow suit soon. Hybrid or EV? Another ongoing rumor is that the new Toyota Tundra could arrive in Clermont with a hybrid or pure electric drivetrain. Electrification has grown exponentially popular in the automotive world and many manufacturers are adding these features to their full sized lineup in the future. Not only that, Toyota included some bombshell news in their press release for the bZ4X. Stating that electrification was coming for the truck lineup. In what capacity, we don't know. We also don't know how soon we expect that to happen. But, the introduction of the 3rd generation sounds like a pretty good time. Expect it to be More Capable Despite the new Toyota Tundra possibly doing away with the consistent V8 engine, expect it to still be super capable if not more so. A great piece of evidence is in the wheels. The current generation Tundra uses 5-lug attached wheels and spy photos of the new model show a 6-lug attachment system. Adding additional lugs most often means that the wheel needs additional strength, ergo more power behind the engine and on the tongue of the tow hitch. Are you ready to welcome a new Toyota Tundra to Toyota of Clermont? In the meantime, you can still shop the current generation and more at 16851 State Road 50!

The wheels of time and the automotive world keep turning and every year brings something new to the table for drivers to experience. While we always enjoy and get excited for new Toyota models to come to Toyota of Clermont, we have to always remember the impact of history. Toyota has some incredible vehicles that have been incredibly consequential both in and outside of the brand. You probably have a few of these models in mind but Toyota of Clermont is here to chronicle the most consequential Toyota models and their histories. Check it out right here! Historical Impact at its Best Toyota Land Cruiser You can't have a historical Toyota model list and exclude the legendary Land Cruiser. This Clermont Toyota SUV was designed as a Jeep-like off-roader for military use and quickly morphed into one of the most capable consumer vehicles out there. It's Toyota model history is unbelievably diverse. Ascending Mt. Fuji, getting a mega-sized off-shoot model, becoming the most luxurious model on the Toyota lineup, being one of the longest selling SUVs worldwide, and more. The Toyota model Land Cruiser has driven its way into the hearts of many Toyota fans and fans of driving worldwide. Unfortunately, it's being retired in North America for the foreseeable future, but we have a feeling it'll be back. Toyota Supra While it didn't begin its life as a cultural icon (the Supra actually received lukewarm reactions during its initial release(s)), it's undeniable that the Toyota model Supra carries a heavy influence in a world based on wheels and engines. It began as an offshoot of the Clermont Toyota Celica, named the Celica-Supra, and was eventually developed into its own moniker.
