THE BEST NEW CARS MAKE THE BEST USED CARS
It stands to reason that the better a product is made the longer it will last, which makes getting a high-quality, low mileage Toyota at a great price a very savvy move.
Toyota’s timeless commitment to quality, innovation and durability is the foundation upon which the Toyota Certified Used Vehicles (TCUV) program launched in 1996. With each passing year the TCUV program has gained momentum – totaling over five million sales and counting.
Along with industry-leading heritage comes another advantage; an exceptional coverage policy. With a 12-month/12,000-mile Limited Comprehensive Warranty1 a 7-year/100,000-mile Limited Powertrain Warranty plus one full year of Roadside Assistance3, honored at more that 1,400 Toyota dealers in the U.S. and Canada, we’ve got you covered.
Certification ProcessOur certification process keeps you in mind every step of the way. The TCUV standards apply from the time a Toyota dealer acquires the vehicle through to the final sale. Each candidate for certification can be a current model year vehicle, up to and including six year old models, with 85,000 miles or less on the odometer. Prior to the 160-point inspection every certified Toyota goes through, a CARFAX vehicle history report is reviewed to ensure that only the best of the best vehicles receive the Toyota Certified Seal of approval.
The 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime will break ground as the most powerful and quickest RAV4 ever
The 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime will break ground as the most powerful and quickest RAV4 ever, hitting dealerships this summer with a starting MSRP of $38,100. The RAV4’s first-ever plug-in model has up to 302 horsepower with an ability to do 0-60 mph in a projected 5.7 seconds, which makes it the quickest four-door model in the Toyota lineup. But, it doesn’t end there. The RAV4 Prime also has up to a manufacturer-estimated 42 miles on battery alone on a single charge, making it the highest EV range of any PHEV SUV on the market. The RAV4 Prime also has up to a manufacturer-estimated 94 combined MPGe. Even more, what sets RAV4 Prime apart is the standard Electronic On-Demand AWD.
How Does It Do That?
Toyota hybrids have for years demonstrated high performance with low fuel consumption, and now the 2021 RAV4 Prime makes one of the strongest cases yet. The RAV4 Prime uses a differently tuned version of the RAV4 Hybrid’s 2.5-liter four-cylinder Atkinson-cycle gas engine. It produces the same projected 176 hp as in the hybrid, but paired with the electric motors, total system output equals 302 horsepower.
The RAV4 Prime’s passenger space isn’t compromised by the larger Lithium-Ion battery, as it is mounted under the floor. The mounting position also gives the RAV4 Prime a low center of gravity and enhanced driving stability.
The RAV4 Prime’s enhanced heat pump HVAC system, based on Prius Prime’s and tailored to fit RAV4 Prime, contributes to an increasing EV range, as energy consumption for cabin temperature control can significantly decrease EV driving range.
Share the love and spread the joy on this Independence Day. Happy Fourth of July!
We have all experienced it. The car in front of you on the road stops short, and your heart skips a beat as you have fractions of a second to respond. More often than not, your quick reactions and instincts prevent an accident, but, as we all know, sometimes things happen too quickly on the road, and you are unable to react fast enough to avoid a crash.
Our solution: an industry-leading accident prevention package – Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) – equipped with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB). Since being announced in 2015, TSS has become a safety trailblazer, helping pave the way for AEB to become available on many vehicles across the industry. In 2018, we introduced the second generation of TSS, with improved perception and performance, including the ability to detect bicyclists during the day and pedestrians in low-light conditions.
In just five years after its introduction, TSS is now standard on 16 Toyota models, and Lexus includes Lexus Safety System+ (LSS+) as a standard feature on all models, both well ahead of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s September 2022 goal for AEB technology to be available on all vehicles.
We are proud of our recent announcement, the launch of our third-generation safety package, anchored by AEB – LSS+ 2.5. The 2021 Lexus IS was revealed in early June and will include LSS+ 2.5 which expands the suite of safety technology systems such as helping to prevent additional types of collisions, additional emergency steering assist and more. We will continue to evolve TSS and LSS+ to help address traffic accidents and popularize new technologies and to lead the industry toward the goal of a world without traffic fatalities.

Toyota Financial Services (TFS) Named One of the Most Community-Minded Companies in the Nation

For the sixth consecutive year, TFS has been included on the nonprofit’s Civic 50 list, and recognized for its CSR initiatives and dedication to supporting and empowering communities.
The Civic 50 sets the standard for corporate community engagement nationwide, and creates a roadmap for companies seeking to best use their time, talent, and resources to improve the quality of life in the communities where they do business. Each year, 50 companies are honored as determined by an annual survey.

TFS attained high scores in all four categories, and was ranked the #1 company in the Financial Services sector for the second consecutive year.
As in previous years, TFS was recognized for its unwavering commitment to youth development, successful volunteer programs, and strong national and local partnerships, such as those with Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) and Girl Scouts of the USA. By providing not only resources, but also time and expertise, the company has helped ensure BGCA kids are on track to go to college and Girl Scouts across the country are becoming more self-reliant and financially informed.
