Several of these devices will be used and displayed during the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics to help people commute around the Olympic village. Electric Vehicles Galore The world and the automotive industry are moving toward alternative fuel sources to combat the climate crisis while still providing more cost-effective and clean ways of moving people. Toyota has introduced an entirely new second generation Toyota Mirai (which uses hydrogen as its sole fuel source), but electric vehicles are become very popular among drivers. For the Tokyo Motor Show, Toyota has displayed several concepts including the Clermont Toyota e-Trans and the e-Racer. The e-Trans is a concept of a multi-passenger autonomous vehicle based around electrified engineering. The e-Racer uses a similar concept with batteries as its primary fuel source.

This vehicle will learn your ideal air temperature, music volume, cruising speed, how alert you are, and more to tailor the driving experience to the driver. This vehicle will also use Toyota's autonomous vehicle technology once it's successfully developed.   While it'll likely be some time before any of these Toyota vehicles from the Tokyo Motor Show make their way to Toyota of Clermont, we're excited to say the least!

It’s been a little over a month into the fall already and we’ve gone over a plethora of topics that are a must for this season! Clermont has been feeling the cool morning breeze lately, do you know what that means? It means it’s getting close to the winter—the most wonderful time of year—no offense if you’re a PSL lover. When driving your ClermontToyota in the cool air gives a magical feeling, but when the temperature continues to go down you’ll want to start warming up your car. One of the best ways to beat the cold is to start warming up your car before you leave the house. Toyota of Clermont has a guide with tips on the best practice for warming up your car, take a look! Warming Up Your Car 101 The topic of warming up your car has been a strange debate for a while. There’s been contention in the automotive industry as to whether its necessary or not to turn on your Clermont Toyota beforehand. Some drivers consider warming up your car essential to help the fluids and fuel stay warm and not freeze when the temperatures drop. Modern cars however can skip this step because engines and fluids are designed to be resistant to low temperatures. In addition, the interior of your Clermont Toyota can heat up pretty quickly once you start driving. Nevertheless if you’re driving an older vehicle then the step will be necessary. Older engines and engineering are prone to slushing and freezing, thus starting the engines prior to leaving the driveway is necessary. If you drive an older Clermont Toyota model or you want warm eats before you head out on the road, check out these three tips that’ll help make this process as easy as possible. Run your ride for a couple of minutes: Again, modern Clermont Toyotas are resistant to cold temperatures so warming up your car is made significantly easier. Not too much time is required in the cabin to get the ideal temperature. To stay warm, our auto service experts recommend running the engine a couple of minutes before leaving home. This will also keep your car from wasting gas. 2. DON’T warm up your car in the garage: Hopefully you already know the reason behind this. The idea of starting up your car from the comfort of your garage sounds appealing, but it’s highly dangerous. It can create carbon monoxide which can accumulate in your home and cause fatalities. It’s tasteless and odorless which is what makes it even worse. Avoid this by opening your garage door or star warming up your car outside. 3. Have a way to get back into your ride Many modern cars have anti-theft devices like auto-locking. This means your doors lock after a certain amount of time has passed. So when you’re getting your car to warm up, make sure you don’t stay locked out outside. Avoid this by having a spare key or just heating your car up for a couple of minutes. Looking for the perfect car for the fall and winter road trips? Stop by Toyota of Clermont today! We’re located at 16851 State Rd 50 just off the Florida Turnpike.

The automotive industry is one that never stops. New technology, new fuel sources, and new vehicles are always being developed and eventually experienced by you, the driver.

Toyota has recently announced several new vehicles, equipped with new technology, that will be announced at several upcoming auto shows. If you have trouble keeping up with all the new Toyota news, don't worry, Toyota of Clermont is here with a compilation of all the latest in Toyota news all in one place. New Toyota News All in One Place The New Toyota RAV4 Can Be Plugged In Unexpectedly, the new Toyota RAV4's hybrid model is more powerful than its internal combustion counterpart.

But, you can have the best of both worlds with the new Toyota RAV4 hybrid and it gets better with the addition of a new plug-in hybrid model. We don't know what the exact specifications for this new RAV4 model will be, but we do know that it will have an available paint color option of Supersonic Red and will be unveiled at the L.A. Auto Show next month. Who Doesn't Love a Cute Convertible? Toyota is one auto brand that has a very diverse lineup and a new addition just recently is the cutest convertible you never knew you needed. In a collaboration between Daihatsu (one of Toyota's subsidiary companies) and Toyota Gazoo Racing comes the Toyota Copen GR Sport. This mighty might of a convertible is designed as a kei car (a vehicle designed to have a small body and engine) and will only be available in Japan. It will feature a 3-cylinder engine that outputs about 63 horsepower and 68 lb/ft of torque. More Compact Clermont Toyotas are on the way Compact Toyota vehicles have been making new Toyota news headlines as of late and this one is definitely note-worthy.

If you've recently test driven or driven home a new Toyota vehicle off our lot here at Toyota of Clermont, you've likely noticed the abundance of available and included standard features our vehicles. Many drivers are very happy with the features they find preinstalled in our vehicles, but there's always that itch to make your ride more you that needs to be scratched. It's true, no matter how stylish or feature packed your ride is, it'll never truly be you until you put your own personality into it. This is easily done by using car upgrades. Aftermarket and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are available for just about any auto part category you could think of in a variety of different styles, and in just about every price range. While these parts are widely available and make customizing your ride easy, you have to be careful. OEM parts are guaranteed to fit your vehicle as they're made by the original vehicle manufacturer. But, aftermarket parts aren't always guaranteed to be compatible with your vehicle. If you're itching to make your ride more unique with customization, Toyota of Clermont is here with a car upgrades guide for you! What to Know Before Investing in Car Upgrades Clermont Toyota car upgrades are a great way to make your vehicle feel more like your own. With so many available, from stickers to exhaust systems, it can be hard to navigate through the variety. Luckily, we have some tips for purchasing and eventual installation of these products. 1) Be an Informed Buyer The truth is, aftermarket parts are so widely available and so varied that you might not know if the product you've just purchased will even work on your Clermont Toyota car. The best way to guarantee that you've purchased the right part is to do your homework. Research consumer reviews and other essential information so you make the right purchase the first time. 2) Narrow Down the Parts You Want and Need With so many car upgrades to choose from, you might be tempted to buy them all. To save you money and time on your upgrading process, make sure to narrow down what you want and need to do to your vehicle. If you want to customize the exhaust system, purchase exhaust system aftermarket and OEM parts only rather than a new head unit to boot. 3) Understand What You're Getting Into Installing aftermarket and OEM parts are not easy. They require time, patience, and plenty of technical know how (or at least a great ability to accurately follow directions). Before you get started, research the process for self installing Clermont Toyota car upgrades or how much it'll cost to have a professional complete the work. Also, make sure the products you're purchasing don't require any additional coupled parts to complete the install. Oftentimes, things like aftermarket head units need a specific dash kit to fit in your vehicle. Installing car upgrades isn't an easy process, but with enough patience and time, you can make your ride more unique to you. If you need help shopping for parts or need tips on installing what you've purchased already, visit our auto parts store at Toyota of Clermont, 16851 State Road 50, seven days a week!

Stepping on the gas pedal of your Clermont Toyota is arguably the most fun and necessary part of the driving experience. As for the other half of the experience many people forget about—stopping, also plays a vital role in the act of driving. Take a moment to think about what would happen if your Clermont Toyota couldn’t stop. It’d be a disaster. Car breaks are one of the most important parts of your car that help it bring it to a stop when needed. If you’re not too familiar with this feature, no need to worry! Toyota of Clermont is here for you with a simplified guide on the parts of the car brakes, as well as how they work and keep you safe. Parts of Your Clermont Toyota Car Brakes Master Cylinder This part of your car brake is essentially what delegates how much power is routed to which brakes. It begins from the moment you step on the pedal. The master cylinder is located right under the pedal and it will apply the appropriate amount of pressure based on how hard you push the pedal to bring your Toyota to a stop. There’s typically two master cylinders in a housing in the event that one fails. Car Brake Fluid This is the source of pressure the master cylinder and car brakes use to bring your car to a complete stop.The fluid travels back and forth through the brake lines and pretty much used by your car like motor oil. The place where this fluid is usually visible in your car’s engine compartment. This is so that you can keep track of its level. If you do notice a significant drop in fluid, then bring in your car for service at Toyota of Clermont and have it inspected by one of our auto service techs. Brake Line The master cylinder applies pressure to the car brake assembly by sending brake fluid through the brake line. What makes up the brake line are hoses and tubes that move fluid from the master cylinder to the brakes to make your vehicle come to a stop. Based on the wheels your vehicle users for driving and steering, those wheels are what usually have rubber tubing while the others use steel. Rotors and Pads Another important part to your car brakes is the caliper. This is the home of other parts like the piston and pads that wrap around the rotor (the large disk behind your wheel). Rotors are there for the brake pads to rub against that’ll create friction to help in stopping your vehicle. Friction is created by the car brake pads by gripping and rubbing against the rotor when the caliper is active when braking. Pads needs to be replaced every once in a while, while rotors can be resurfaced to ensure a smooth surface for pad contact. They do need to be replaced once it has a significant amount of wear and tear. Your brakes work hard to make sure your Clermont Toyota comes to a complete stop when commanded. If you need them serviced, visit Toyota of Clermont today at 16851 State Rd 50 just off the Florida Turnpike.

Throughout the company's history, Toyota has been making waves in the automotive industry. Apart from unique designs and excellent engineering, Toyota has always been an auto manufacturer at the forefront of new technology. Today, that new technology is coming in the form of autonomous vehicle technology and new fueling sources. When Toyota introduced the revolutionary Prius back in 1997, it changed the automotive world forever by introducing electrified engineering to better fuel efficiency. Toyota has made their mark on the alternative fuel landscape by introducing hydrogen fueling in the form of the new Toyota Mirai. This revolutionary vehicle, released in 2015, has introduced an all-new way to fuel your vehicle with little to no negative impact on the environment. While fueling stations have yet to make their way to Clermont (we can only hope and dream), we believe that it's helpful to see where Toyota is going with the future of automotive. The Toyota Mirai has been available from dealership in metropolitan areas of California and Hawaii since 2015 and now it's time for a new generation. Toyota recently announced the arrival of the second generation new Toyota Mirai and there are some big changes coming. Check out the latest details here from Toyota of Clermont. A New Revolution for the Revolutionary Toyota Mirai Granted, the Toyota Mirai likely won't be available at Toyota of Clermont until hydrogen fueling stations make their way east, we're still excited to see what's new with the next generation of this iconic vehicle. Here's what you can expect to see: To start things off, the Clermont new Toyota Mirai looks A LOT different from its predecessor. In fact, the entire body design has been reconfigured and reimagined with inspiration from sporty coupes. The second generation Mirai is wider and longer and sports more interior space, seating up to five people. The Mirai also changes things up with its change in drivetrain from front wheel to rear wheel drive. Drivers will experience a huge difference in where they feel power at the push of the pedal. With such an overhaul exterior redesign, you bet that the interior has been reconfigured with some awesome upgrades. The Clermont new Toyota Mirai will sport superior cabin noise cancelling along new technology features like an 8-inch touchscreen combination meter, an optional digital rearview mirror, a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, and a 14-speaker JBL sound system. The second generation Mirai can go farther than it's ancestor with a larger fuel tank and more efficient engineering. Toyota plans to obtain a 30% increase from the previous model year. 20-inch alloy wheels are an available option for 2021 Mirai. For the 2021 model year, the Clermont new Toyota Mirai is slated to be released later next year. Like we said, until we have the fueling technology to support Mirai drivers, this vehicle, sadly, won't be available at our dealership. But, you can always shop Toyota's excellent selection of fuel-efficient vehicles today at Toyota of Clermont! We're open seven days a week and located at 16851 State Road 50.

Something else you need to check for on your tires is to make sure that there’s enough tread depth and that there’s no wear and tear.

You'll regret losing the decoration item and it also poses a major hazard for others on the road. Don't hand anything from the rear end or near the exhaust. The exhaust gets very hot while driving and could result in a burning decorations on your ride. 4) Keep it Simple Unlike your house's front yard and roof space, there's limited room to work with on your ride and plenty of decorations can pose a hazard to you and others while on the road. At the end of the day, try to keep it simple and think your designs through to make sure nothing happens during your daily commutes.
