The latest Toyota news: November 1, 2021

Another week, another news roundup! November has arrived and with it brings the SEMA show, the holidays, cooler weather, and the promise of the arrival of new Toyotas very, very soon – we’re looking at you, 2022 Toyota Tundra. Our Clermont Toyota dealership is here with a quick roundup of the latest new Toyota news. Happy November!

An all-new electric Toyota is coming 

We’ve talked about the new Toyota bz4X before, back when it was a new concept car being introduced to the public. Well, it’s making the leap from concept to production – it’s been officially announced that this new Toyota will be made into a passenger vehicle in Japan first, and hopefully head stateside soon after. BZ stands for “beyond zero” and Toyota hopes that with this eco-friendly electric car they can not only offer a clean drive time solution but actually help to improve the environment as well. Stay tuned for updates about its arrival in the US!

Toyota Dream Car USA contest begins 

If you’ve got a budding artist in the family, this is their time to shine. Toyota is calling for all kids to design their dream car – or what they think cars should look like in the future – and submit it to them for the Toyota Dream Car USA Contest. Submissions can be made online or via US mail and should be sent in before January 31, 2022. The top three submissions will win cash prizes and a spot of honor at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, CA.

Pricing announced for the new 2022 Toyota 86

We just got new details on it – this new Toyota sports car will boast a starting MSRP of just $27,700, keeping it an affordable option for drivers who want a sports car performance and aesthetic without the high sports car price tag. It should arrive next month, so follow us on social media for updates!

Toyota moves up a spot on Fortune Magazine’s Global 500 List 

2020 was a rough year for the automotive industry, but despite a global pandemic and production shortages Toyota still managed to come out on top. It’s been announced that they moved up a spot to spot 9 on the Fortune Magazine Global 500 List, which details the 500 largest companies in the world based on revenue.

Toyota Tacoma and Toyota 86 win SEMA Awards 

SEMA has kicked off in Las Vegas and Toyota is already cleaning up when it comes to awards. Both the Toyota 86 and Toyota Tacoma won Best New Models to Customize awards, with the 86 taking the Sport Compact category while the Tacoma reigned supreme in the Midsize Truck category. We’re not surprised, with the plethora of aftermarket parts available to customize both.
