If you're interested in electric cars at all, then you probably know that Toyota recently introduced a new BEV to the market - the 2023 Toyota bZ4X. It's a Toyota full electric vehicle, which means it runs solely on electric charge and needs to be plugged in to power up before you hit the road. It's a big step in the world of EVs for Toyota, but that's not all that's going on lately. Toyota of Clermont is here with the latest Toyota electric vehicle news for 2023. What you should know about Toyota electric vehicles this year Toyota is reconsidering its EV strategy long game. Akio Toyoda - the CEO of Toyota - recently stepped down from his post in January of this year. His replacement, Koji Sato, has made it clear that his interests lie in expanding Toyota's footprint in the full electric vehicle market - a.k.a., adding more EVs to the everyday lineup. Rumor has it that Toyota recently acquired and disassembled a Tesla Model Y, which is actually a pretty common practice among automakers. Why? To assess which manufacturing techniques Tesla is using inside of their vehicles. Toyota is interested in designing a new platform for their Toyota electric vehicles (we'll get to that next) and this could definitely help push their EVs to the next level. Toyota and Lexus are working on a new platform for EVs. Toyota and Lexus are working together to create an all-new platform built solely for Luxus and Toyota full electric vehicles. Right now, their electric cars - like the 2023 Toyota bZ4X - sit on the e-TNGA platform. This is a slightly modified version of the existing TNGA platform, which many of Toyota's vehicles rest on. However, this particular platform does have its limitations when it comes to EVs. It limits the size of the battery pack (which results in a shorter range). This means that Toyota electric vehicles that use the e-TNGA platform have a hard time keeping up with Tesla in terms of efficiency. A new platform built solely for EVs could result in further range AND new vehicles being added to the lineup. As noted, that Model Y disassembly may lend some insight. This new platform is supposed to be in production by 2026. China got a new Toyota bZ3 sedan. We've talked about the bZ (Beyond Zero) lineup before, and how Toyota's goal is to expand it to include a wide variety of Toyota full electric vehicle options on a global scale for consumers. In the U.S., we have the 2023 Toyota bZ4X and a bZ SUV concept (for now). China, however, recently got the second official member of the bZ family: the new 2023 Toyota bZ3. This sleek sedan was a collaboration between Toyota and BYD (a globally renowned EV company) and is built on the e-TNGA platform. However, the new bZ3 uses BYD's lithium-ion battery, motor, and electric control system to extend the range of this EV to 372 miles. It has a starting MSRP of $27,700 USD, too, making it more affordable than many of its full electric counterparts. There's no guarantee that we'll ever see this Toyota electric vehicle in the U.S. market, but we do know more bZ options will continue to arrive at our Clermont Toyota dealership in the future (so we'll keep you posted).

Spring break starts tomorrow, and at Toyota of Clermont, we're ready to jump feet-first into the season. Spring in Florida means beach days, and it also means that summer isn't far off. If you're looking to get out of town and get your fix of vitamin sea this summer, check out this list of some of the best beaches to take a spring or summer road trip to. Happy travels! Some of the best beaches in the US that we'd take a road trip to We tried to make it reasonable for you - a road trip to California or Oregon, both of which boast excellent beaches, isn't quite feasible for most people driving from Clermont. That's why we stuck with east coast beaches. Here are some of our favorites for you to explore in the upcoming seasons: #1: Destin: Destin - if you haven't heard of it - is located in the panhandle of Florida. It's famed for its white sand beaches and turquoise waters that make you feel like you're somewhere in the Caribbean. It's also an incredible place to fish as it has huge populations of Red Snapper and Grouper fish offshore. You'll have tons of beaches to choose from and the Gulf of Mexico makes for warm, calm waters to swim in. Destin is about a six-hour road trip from Clermont. #2: Outer Banks: If you're trying to get out of state for a fresh take on beaches, head to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. There are 200+ miles of beach to check out and tons of opportunities for fishing, boating, swimming, surfing, and skimboarding. There's also a great pier at Nag's Head for watching the skies and fishing. The Outer Banks - the start of them, at least - are about 12 hours from Clermont, so consider making a pit stop in Georgia or South Carolina. #3: Sanibel Island: Another Florida beach to explore is Sanibel Island. It just reopened after withstanding Hurricane Ian; it's known for its idyllic beaches and shell-filled beaches (people actually go "shelling" there to collect unique ones). Plus, there are nature trails to hike and bike as well as picnic areas to set up shop. Don't miss Lighthouse Beach! Sanibel Island is about four hours from Clermont. #4: Amelia Island: Amelia Island is another Florida beach (are you seeing a pattern here?) located about 30 miles northeast of Jacksonville. It's a quiet area with a small-town vibe, so it's perfect for families and beachgoers who want to relax. There are 13 miles of beaches to wander, as well as horseback riding on the beach, playgrounds, volleyball courts, kayaking, and nature trails. Amelia Island is about three hours from Clermont. #5: Cape May: If you want a big change of pace from Florida, head further north to Cape May, New Jersey. It's extremely family-friendly and chock full of restaurants, shops, and wide beaches perfect for swimming and sunning. Cape May Point offers a quiet town full of antique shops while Cape May offers a promenade that you can walk to watch the sun rise or set. Cape May is about 16 hours from Clermont, so you'll definitely want to make a pitstop on the way up - North Carolina is a solid place to spend the night. #6: Golden Isles: The Golden Isles are in Georgia, believe it or not. The Golden Isles are composed of four different barrier islands including St. Simon's Island, Sea Island, Jekyll Island, and Little St. Simon's Island. You can't miss Driftwood Beach, which is famed for its huge driftwood trees left stranded on the beach, and there are tons of shops to explore restaurants. The beaches here are also perfect for long, uninterrupted walks on the sand. The Golden Isles are about four hours from Clermont.

We're at (352) 404-7001 and we're conveniently located just off the Florida Turnpike at 16851 State Road 50.

Spring has definitely sprung - we're pushing 90 degrees this week in Clermont. Now is the perfect time to get to spring cleaning after the business of the holidays and the brief (6 weeks long) winter that we had. Toyota of Clermont is here with tips for spring cleaning your car from top to bottom and bumper to bumper - check it out, and don't forget to stock up on car detailing supplies at our Clermont Toyota parts store. Spring cleaning your car's interior When it comes to your car's interior, start by decluttering. Get rid of all the junk that accumulated before and during the holidays, being sure to go through your center console, glovebox, seatback pockets, and trunk or cargo space. Once you're done with that, get to cleaning, being sure to: Thoroughly vacuum the interior. Be sure to get under the seats, in the seatback pockets, in the cupholders, in seat cracks, in your trunk or cargo area, and in your center console. Use a paintbrush to dust in cracks and crevices, like inside your A/C vents. Wipe everything down thoroughly using the proper car detailing supplies, like your dash, center console, steering wheel, and anything else plastic in the car, including knobs and buttons. If you have fabric seats, now's the time to shampoo them and spot-treat any stains leftover from the holiday season. If you have SofTex or leather seats, clean them up and condition them so they're ready for the heat of summer. Shampoo and spot treat any stains in your floor mats and cargo mats. Clean the glass - you'd be surprised how dirty it is. Clean the insides of your windows, back window, and windshield with the appropriate cleaner (using the wrong cleaner can damage your tint). Stick dryer sheets under the seats for cheap air fresheners and get your sunshade out - things are about to heat up, and you want to keep your car interior in the best shape possible. Spring cleaning your car's exterior The exterior of your car probably didn't take too much of a beating (we don't get much snow and ice in Clermont), but you can still give it some TLC to get it ready for the heat of the summer. Here are some tips from our Clermont Toyota service center: Start by washing your car thoroughly - our service center techs can help you pick the right soap for your car. Rinse and dry with a microfiber cloth to make sure no water stains remain when you're done. Don't forget to wash your tires well, and scrub the road dust and grime off of your wheels. Apply tire shine afterward to get them glossy. Clay bar your car. If you never have, you'll be amazed at the shine you have afterward - clay bars will pull contaminants and debris out of your paint, leaving it looking like new. Clean the exterior glass with the right cleaner. Make sure you're parked in the shade and apply a coat or two of quality wax. Car wax not only protects your car from the harsh summer sun but also helps to repel moisture (and we get plenty of that here in Clermont in the spring and summer). Clean your headlights and taillights and replace any burnt-out bulbs to avoid tickets. Check out your windshield wiper blades. How did they fare over the fall and winter seasons? Now might be the time to replace them with a fresh set before spring and summer rain starts. While you're washing and shining your tires, take note of how they look. Do they still have enough traction? Do you see any bulges or blisters? What about sidewall separation? If so, it may be time for a new set of shoes for your Clermont Toyota. And don't forget to make sure your up to date on all of your typical auto services - oil changes, brake service, tire rotations, battery service, and coolant. Hot weather is coming (pretty much here), and you want your car to be ready to handle it.

The rise of electric vehicles in the automotive industry can be confusing, especially if you're in the market to buy a brand-new Toyota. There are many different factors to cover about electric vehicles between the options offered for your next car. Toyota of Clermont experts is here to guide you through BEV, HEV, PHEV, and FCEV and the differences. So let's get into it. Let's dive into BEV, HEV, PHEV, and FCEV Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) Many Toyota 2023 models contain hybrid-electric engines as standard, like the 2023 Toyota Sienna. This type of car combines a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) with an electric propulsion system. An HEV gives drivers better fuel economy than a traditional car. The difference between hybrid vs EV is that Toyota models are Hybrid Electric Vehicles that do not plug in to recharge. Battery electric vehicle (BEV) When you hear Electric vehicles, you are most likely thinking about a battery electric vehicle, which is purely electric, like the brand new 2023 Toyota Bz4x. What is Bev? You can skip out on the gas station instead of charging up because rechargeable battery packs power these cars. So, it's a similar concept to your smartphone, it gets low on battery, and you need to plug it in to charge. On the BEV vs PHEV, you will find that battery electric vehicles give you strictly electric power. PHEV (Plug in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) A PHEV, which stands for a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, gives you, as a car buyer, the best of both worlds when it comes to engines. The Toyota lineup has two models: the Clermont Toyota RAV4 Prime and the Clermont Toyota Prius Prime. That's because it comes with a traditional combustion engine and a battery. The difference between PHEV vs hybrid is these can purely run off of electric power if it's a short commute, but when it runs out of electric battery, it shifts to its traditional combustion engine. Because it is the best of both worlds, you must also remember to stop at the gas station and plug it in to charge to engage in it's full capacity. Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCV) or Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCEV) A Fuel Cell vehicle is an electric car that's powered by hydrogen fuel and a small battery or super capacitor to power the electric motor. These cars are super environmentally friendly. However, they can be expensive due to the cost of producing hydrogen fuel. The Toyota lineup features the Clermont Toyota Mirai, a fuel-cell electric vehicle built with many cool tech features and a modern style. Unfortunately, getting your hands on a fuel cell vehicle is hard as they are generally less popular and less available to consumers now. Have any questions about electric cars or plug-in hybrids?

Spring break is less than a month away and we're ready to hit the road - warmer weather + time off school = the perfect opportunity to find new adventures. However, instead of heading to the most popular (and most crowded) beaches or taking an expensive cruise, why not hit the road in your Clermont Toyota? We're here to share our top picks for spring break road trips - get ready to hit the highway. Toyota of Clermont's top 2023 spring break road trips The Blue Ridge Parkway through Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia: Looking for something closer to Clermont on the east coast that doesn't require flying anywhere? Head to Blue Ridge, GA and hop on the Blue Ridge Parkway. You can take it up through North Carolina and Virginia, taking in 500 miles of beautiful forest and mountain scenery. Pop into Asheville, NC to sample craft beers, shop eclectic stores, and visit the Biltmore Estate and then head to Skyline Drive in Virginia, where a 105-mile stretch of road along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains awaits you. Morning light on the Lynn Cove Viaduct along the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina Grand Canyon to Arches National Park: Head west and get away from the crowds. This spring break road trip starts at the Grand Canyon - you'll head to the North Rim, where it's quieter. Hike your heart out and then hit the highway north to Utah to visit Arches National Park and its incredible red rock formations. If you have enough time, schedule Canyonlands and Moab onto your itinerary for more unbelievable western scenery. Beautiful Sunset Image taken at Arches National Park in Utah Texas Hill Country Wildflower Loop: For this spring break road trip, you can call Austin home for a few days and check out the incredible BBQ + music scene while you're there. From there, take the Wildflower Loop, which is a 90-mile trip through fields of bluebonnets. Texas Hill Country is renowned for its hiking, camping, fishing, and - believe it or not - wineries. Don't forget your hiking boots! Beautiful bluebonnets along a lake in the Texas Hill Country.

Stop along the way to see seals frolicking in harbors, Victorian cottages, and incredible seafood restaurants.
