What About the New Toyota Sequoia?

We know we know, be happy with what you have, ya-da ya-da ya-da. It's never wrong to be appreciative of what you already have or what's coming soon. But, we can't help but want just a little more. The 2022 Toyota Tundra is coming very soon and it's packing an entirely new loadout with engineering, interior features, and a whole bunch of new tech. The upcoming Tundra is truly a marvel and we honestly can't wait for it to show up here at Toyota of Clermont. Although the new Toyota Tundra is on its way, we can't help but look to the next best thing coming down the great Toyota pike. Naturally, because the Tundra is coming, we can only imagine that the Sequoia will be the next best thing to hit the Toyota lineup. With no formal announcement, we can only speculate so far, but that's a big part of the fun. Check out the latest theories on this new Toyota from Toyota of Clermont right here! What's the Deal with the New Toyota Sequoia? As we said, the new Sequoia hasn't received any official news or even a teaser in the slightest. There's no word on whether or not a new model generation is coming or if it's being shelved. We've already lost the Land Cruiser, the Yaris, and many suspect the C-HR is leaving as well. While many digital sleuths are able to decode when models will be leaving the lineup, the Sequoia remains a big mystery. We can't deny our love for this big beefy boy Toyota SUV, but we'd be lying if we said this SUV has a very storied past. The Sequoia has always been an odd duck in the Toyota lineup here in Clermont. The new Toyota Sequoia occupies a spot between the 4Runner and the Tundra which is an odd one. It's got the power of a full-sized pickup at its back but adopts the body of an oversized SUV. Many saw it impractical as a family mover because of its poor fuel efficiency and availability of other options like the Highlander and Sienna. From an off-roading standpoint, the Clermont new Toyota Sequoia performs similarly to the Tundra, but definitely isn't packing all the customizable possibilities of its pickup truck sibling due to its lack of a bed. Like we said, odd spot to occupy. But, the theories for this beefy SUV are aplenty and seem highly promising. A New Toyota Sequoia in Clermont? It's likely that if a new Sequoia were to hit the lineup it would include elements similar to its newly revealed sibling. Expect the twin-turbo V6 to make an appearance and a highly powerful and fuel-efficient and hybrid drivetrain to boot. The styling will also likely be similar to that of the Tundra. Angular, highly stylish, futuristic, and rugged all wrapped in one large-scale SUV. The infotainment will be carried over from the Tundra and it will also feature a large touch screen and posh interior upholstery. Need we say more? Check out the latest new Toyota news from Toyota of Clermont right here. See you next time!

Toyota electric car coming soon to Clermont.

What Happened to the Electric Car Toyota E Palette?

Toyota is undergoing quite a metamorphosis regarding its product lineup. The future is coming fast and it looks like our namesake is meeting it with equal speed and ambition. The new Toyota Tundra is set to arrive later this year and it's a testament to what can be done with vehicles today. A hybrid drivetrain that overpowers the internal combustion model, a vastly improved infotainment UI, and cutting-edge futuristic designs. Yes, Toyota is meeting the moment (mostly). But, there's one futuristic project that never quite got the spotlight due to a global pandemic and other things. The electric car e-Palette. Whatever happened to that? Toyota of Clermont is here with the answers! An Ambitious Electric Car Project While Toyota might have a widespread reputation for being laggard when it comes to rolling out a Clermont electric car model compared to its competitors, Toyota was very big on the experimental front. Their R&D department was going to work producing incredible concept models, new and unique engineering, and developing vehicle autonomy software. One of the biggest results of that was the e-palette. Here's a little background to catch you back up to speed: The Clermont electric car e-Palette was developed as a strictly battery electric vehicle (BEV) that also made use of autonomous driving. It was to be a transportation concept that allowed a small number of passengers to travel while standing up around cities and other congested areas. Think of it like a subway or rail car. The goal of the e-Palette was to "create mobility for all" by making transportation more responsive and accessible to people throughout an area rather than using intrusive subway infrastructure and ridesharing/taxi cabs. The vehicle itself had a tall, clear, minimalistic design with small seating areas and handrails inside for passenger comfort. So, What Happened to it? With such a bold Clermont electric car concept in the docket, you might be wondering what happened to it and why you didn't hear more news about it. Well, the e-Palette was slated to make its debut at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 but due to the global pandemic, there was far reduced fanfare for the showcase. The e-Palette was still used widely during the games for transportation, but not nearly on the scale it was intended and the press attention was greatly overshadowed due to the controversy of the games. The electric car e-Palette continues to be developed by Toyota for application with the Woven City. Its purpose currently is to be the main provider of transportation in Woven City as the futuristic city concept will rely solely on public autonomous transportation. The future is looking bright for Toyota. Apart from the e-Palette concept, the bZ4X was confirmed to be coming to North America, there's still heavy acquisition and investment from Toyota on the vehicle autonomy front, and vehicles are becoming more powerful and advanced than ever.

The Birth of a Powerhouse. Hello 2022 Toyota Tundra

Well, fam, the slow burn has finally been reduced to cinders and the long-awaited result has been revealed. The new Toyota Tundra, specs and all, has been revealed to the world and our excitement can hardly be contained! We've been waiting too long to see the full face of this new truck and it does not disappoint. We at Toyota of Clermont are dedicated today to its unpacking and, there's a lot of that to do. With a lengthy press release to sift through, let's not exhaust any more time. Let's dive in! An Ideal Vessel for Toyota's Future Seeing the press release and everything the new Clermont Toyota Tundra is packing, it's no surprise that much time was taken to roll this one out. This truck represents a lot of Toyota's initiatives going forward and they picked the perfect vessel. Here are the highlights in all important categories: A Bold Statement Made - Exterior Style is everything, as you know, and the Tundra is packing quite the punch. Toyota describes the mantra for designing the new truck as "technical muscle" and it makes so much sense when looking at the Tundra. The body design is aggressive and body, but yet cutting edge with sleek lines and bold statement pieces like the front bumper. It's a fine line between off-roading ruggedness and futuristic sleekness that the Clermont Toyota Tundra just strikes so well. The interior continues the same motif with a more horizontal orientation when it comes to the orientation of the instrument panel and center console. High-touch locations, like armrests and dashboard pads, are accented with premium materials that elevates the classiness while still maintaining that rugged vibe. A Powerhouse Indeed - Engineering With a new design generation beginning for the Clermont Toyota Tundra, you can bet there's more power involved. Here's what you'll see under the hood and under the body: True to the internet rumors, the new Tundra is in fact powered by a twin-turbo V6 and will include an optional hybrid drivetrain. The base twin-turbo V6 engine is rated for 389 horsepower and 479 lb./ft. of torque. Believe it or not, the hybrid drivetrain actually takes those incredible ratings way up a notch. 437 horsepower and 583 lb./ft. of torque all from a hybrid twin-turbo V6 engine. 12,000 pounds towing capacity with a max payload of 1,940 pounds is incredibly high and can deal with whatever you can stick on a trailer hitch (maybe a space shuttle?). In turning over a new leaf (quite a callback), Toyota has ditched the leaf-spring suspension of Tundras of old and swapped in coil springs and a new multi-link rear suspension. Tech Upgrades FTW - Technology We described the Clermont Toyota Tundra as a vessel for the future and the inclusion of an all new infotainment interface is perfectly indicative of that. The Human Machine Interface (HMI) takes Toyota infotainment into the modern era. This new operating system will be housed in a standard 8-inch touchscreen or optional 14-inch touchscreen system and feature all new experience features. Are you excited about the all-new Toyota Tundra? Expect it to come to Toyota of Clermont later this year! Check it out at 16851 State Road 50.

50 Million Sold. The Toyota Corolla's Road So Far

From humble beginnings and to one of the most widely sold vehicles in the world. The Toyota Corolla has undergone quite an evolutionary journey in its lifetime. It's seen a myriad of variations, style changes, and engineering evolution that would have anyone's head spinning. To commemorate this incredible milestone, by one of our fave vehicles no less, we at Toyota of Clermont are chronicling the Corolla's road so far and diving into what makes this ride so special. Check it out right here! The Way to 50 Million The Clermont Toyota Corolla has quite a storied journey. It was first introduced at a time when people first walked on the moon and gas was 35 cents a gallon. Here's a look at the journey the Corolla has been on to get to the incredible 50 million copies sold milestone: Generation 1 (1969 - 1970) The first-generation Toyota Corolla was designed as a 2-door sedan with a 1,077 cc 4-cylinder engine attached. It made use of just 60 horsepower (which translated to a 17 second 0-60 mph time) and mated the 4-cylinder to a 4-speed manual transmission. The starting MSRP was $1,700 and included a lockable gas-cap cover and reclining front seats. Generation 2 (1971 - 1974) In just one generation's time, the Clermont Toyota Corolla ascended to the second best-selling car in the world and made some improvements from the first gen. Horsepower increased to 73 and this model became the first of Toyota to offer a 2-speed automatic transmission option. Generation 3 (1975 - 1979) This is the one where you can see the angular and boxy design of the 80s border years come into play. The 3rd generation Toyota Corolla offered 3 different engine size options to Clermont drivers and the choice between a fastback coupe and a Liftback body style. Generation 4 (1980 - 1984) The iconic boxiness of this time period came for the Corolla and it pulled it off stunningly. This Clermont generation added 1.8 and 1.6L engine options to put it at 75 and 90 horsepower, respectively. The front seats came equipped with "memory" settings, which were quite revolutionary. Generation 5 (1985 - 1988) A new generation of Clermont Toyota Corollas arrived and with it came the switch to Front Wheel Drive. The new United Motor Manufacturing venture with General Motors saw Toyota manufacturing Corollas in California and this generation saw the arrival of the legendary AE86. Generation 6 and 7 (1989 - 1992, 1993 - 1997) The 90s saw quite a change for the Clermont Toyota Corolla. The boxy design of the 80s segued to the round and bubbly body designs of the turn of the century. Generation 6 retained the sportiness of the AE86 and packed up the horsepower to 135. 1997 saw the seventh generation Corolla become the best selling vehicle in history and it's kept going ever since. Generation 8 and 9 (1998 - 2002, 2003 - 2008) Side airbags and more cabin room marked the success of generation 8 and engineering continued to evolve with engines that had greater power and fuel efficiency. For generation 9, the Clermont Toyota Corolla was given special options, like the Corolla S model, that had unique design cues and a 130 horsepower engine. Plus, this generation brought a center console box that could hold 14 CDs. Generation 10 and 11 (2009 - 2013, 2014 - 2018) This is where we see modernity come into action. The 10th generation Toyota Corolla was offered with such a sleek and impressive design that wind noise was incredibly reduced, making for the quietest ride only comparable to luxury models. CDs were being phased out so this generation packed Bluetooth and iPod connectivity and JBL Premium Audio. Generation 11 brought Toyota Safety Sense P, an optional 6-speed manual transmission, and even more impressive fuel economy. Seize the Day in a New Toyota Corolla The Clermont Toyota Corolla has always been an impressive blend of affordability, coolness, and sensibility. Today, the current generation rules the streets and there are so many new things coming for this compact sedan. Ready to shop for one? Visit Toyota of Clermont today at 16851 State Road 50.

This is how the Corolla and Civic compare: The Clermont new Toyota Corolla uses a 1.8L inline 4-cylinder compared to the Civic's 2.0L inline 4-cylinder. Because the Civic uses a slightly bigger engine, drivers can take advantage of improved horsepower over the Corolla. They measure at 158 and 139 respectively. Both engines use a 4-cylinder design so it's likely that drivers won't be able to notice a huge difference when it comes to horsepower and torque. Both make use of variable valve timing and FWD drivetrain designs. The Corolla and Civic both use unleaded fuel, but the Corolla does have a larger tank capacity (by almost a full gallon). MPG ratings for both of these Clermont sedans are equal. They clock in at 30 MPG city, 38 MPG highway, and 33 combined. For the new Toyota Corolla, a hybrid version is offered based on the LE trim grade. The Civic does not offer a hybrid version but does offer a performance grade, Type R, based on the hatchback version. Interior Interior comfort is something that should top your list when car shopping. This is how the Clermont new Toyota Corolla and Civic stack up: The interior room of the Civic and Corolla are varied in many ways. Their dimensions are overall similar and share a wheelbase size, but they're stacked pretty similarly on average. An advantage for the Corolla, a 6 speaker system is standard compared to a 4 speaker system in the Civic. Plus the Corolla has an optional sunroof while the Civic doesn't offer a sunroof at all. The Civic one-ups the Corolla by offering an optional wireless charging pad but both include similar infotainment systems and programs. The exterior options and body styles between the Civic and new Toyota Corolla is similar. Both have hatchback variants and other trim grade differentiators, so it really comes down to brand loyalty and style preference.

Clermont new Toyota SUV for sale.

What Makes the new Toyota RAV4 so Likeable?

It's no mystery that the new Toyota RAV4 is one of the world's most desireable SUVs. For the driver looking for something that doesn't guzzle too much gas but has more room than the typical sedan, it's perfect. Sedan fuel efficiency plus SUV power and space, what's better than that? Recently, Cars.com released survey findings among RAV4 drivers  to find what exactly they liked about the powerhouse vehicle. The survey was limited to the most recent model year. Here's a dive from Toyota of Clermont on what makes the new RAV4 so driveable and likeable. Here's What Clermont Drivers Love About the New Toyota RAV4 1) It's High in Value When it comes to feature packing, Toyota does an excellent job of ensuring their vehicles have plenty of strong points. The RAV4, however, definitely takes the cake and it shows among the survey participants. Drivers cite the excellent levels of comfort when it comes to the Clermont new Toyota RAV4 and that the plethora of safety features that come standard up the value. For this 2019 model owner from Petaluma, CA, "More comfortable than my Toyota Solara, and that's saying something for the RAV4, and the standard safety features are better than my friend's new Audi SUV. It's a tremendous value." 2) It's Packed with Advanced Tech New model years mean that new tech is always aplenty and the Clermont new Toyota RAV4 is definitely a poster child for this. The 2021 model year includes amazing features like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, premium JBL speaker options, five USB ports throughout the cabin, optional onboard WiFi, and more. Drivers can opt for either a 7" or 8" touchscreen interface and an optional digital rearview mirror is available. An owner of a 2020 model in Gainesville, VA is quoted saying, "Got all the bells and whistles and am enjoying the fun parts, but also appreciating the additional safety features." 3) Fuel-Efficiency is the Name of the Game A main drawback to SUVs is the lack of overall practical fuel efficiency. Luckily, and to the joy of many drivers, the RAV4 puts this stereotype on its head. The gasoline model gets a great 28 mpg city and 35 mpg highway and they hybrid model ups the ante with 41 mpg city and 38 mpg highway. If you want to take things even further you could always opt for the RAV4 Prime. 4) Comfortably Capable While the new Toyota RAV4 might be more on the compact side compared to its larger 4Runner and Highlander cousins, it's still just as comfortable and capable. There's plenty of head and legroom in all areas of the RAV4's cabin and it's surprisingly capable. In fact, the Clermont RAV4 has several trim grades that take it beyond the streets. The Adventure and TRD Off-Road trim grades provide off-roading benefits to the soccer-mom pigeon-holed RAV4. Plus, the RAV4 Prime provides plug-in charging to dramatically boost fuel efficiency and even give drivers EV only driving. The new Toyota RAV4 is a fan favorite for a variety of reasons.

Well, Toyota fam, looks like our cries have been heard. It's been heavily speculated and rumored, but now we have official confirmation that the Tundra is kicking things up a notch.

It will be called the iForce MAX, that we know for sure. What we Don't Know for Sure There's still quite a lot that's speculative surrounding the Clermont Toyota Tundra.

It's also been speculated that the Tundra could see a hybrid drivetrain included for the new model year. We don't know what the interior looks like just yet. Our guess here at Toyota of Clermont is that the Tundra will be getting several luxurious touches along with new upholstery that could change depending on trim grade. Toyota also published a press release detailing their next generation of infotainment system. Will this system make its way into the new Toyota Tundra? Hard to say until we know more. How many trim grades can we expect to see? Typically, Toyota includes a wide variety of trim grades for the Tacoma and Tundra and likely will do the same this time around. Judging from the photo we can likely expect a TRD version. As for the rest, we'll have to wait and see!

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?
