(March 31, 2024) Slip into the 2024 Toyota GR Supra, crank up the healthy 382-horsepower turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine, and get ready for a true sports car experience. Because that's exactly what you are going to get — an outstanding sports car experience. The great thing about the current-generation Supra — which has been around since 2020 — is that its road-carving, off-the-line goodness can be had in GR guise for an affordable price starting under $57,000.

(March 17, 2024) When Toyota finally came up with an all new Tundra full-size pickup for the 2022 model year after a long 14 years since the last model debuted, we knew an all-new Sequoia that pairs with the Tundra truck couldn't be far behind. The aging and long-neglected Sequoia barely hung in there for 2022 and 2023 saw the debut of an all-new Sequoia grabbing the best of the Tacoma pickup's style, brawn, platform and capable architecture.

(Mach 10, 2024) As our domestic industry abandoned the compact/midsize pickup category, Toyota and (to a lesser extent) Nissan held on to the belief that not everyone needs three tons of truck when making the Home Depot run. In our increasingly congested urban and suburban environments, a footprint that’s easy to park, along with a powertrain capable of getting a real 20+ miles per gallon, has become increasingly attractive.

(January 28, 2024) Big SUVs have traditionally been powered by big V-8 engines. The all-new Toyota Sequoia bucks that trend setting a new course with a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 hybrid. The powerful engine-electric motor combination pulls the three-ton body-on-frame truck with confidence making 437-total horsepower and a massive 538 pound-feet of torque.

2024 Toyota Sienna Woodland



PHOENIX — There's a stigma associated with owning and driving a minivan that somehow you've reached maturity and now a fully responsible adult signaling to the world and your family that among those at the school "drop your kids off lane" you're the sensible adult here. When you were younger and pre-parenthood, minivans' sole purpose was seemingly the hideous monster of the automotive world, monstrously ugly, that sucked all the life and fun out driving.

(December 31, 2023) Toyota has sold the mid-sized Highlander three-row family SUV for years and it has become one of the most popular crossovers in North America — now in its fourth generation. It's one of the most practical and easiest to drive vehicles in the populated three-row segment. However, if maximum cargo and passenger space is one of your concerns in choosing your next vehicle you will have to move up to the much larger Sequoia or seek another brand.

(October 22, 2023) Start with a complete redesign, add more power — a lot more power — and even better fuel economy than the outgoing model, sportier driving characteristics, 15 additional miles pure all-electric driving range from its plug-in hybrid set up, an overall much more premium feel and voila — you have an all-new Toyota Prius Prime.

(October 15, 2023) Scroll through web pages from major automakers and you’ll quickly realize compact sedans are in short supply.  Haven’t looked for a while?  Good luck!  Ford, GM, Chrysler, and Mitsubishi have all waved adios to a segment they once dominated.  While the Toyota Corolla still sells in respectable numbers, its maker recognizes buyers are shifting to taller rides.  So, to capitalize on the storied brand, and throw in some Prius DNA to a package buyers want, we get the 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid.

2023 Toyota Crown



PHOENIX — Following a nearly 30-year run Toyota retired its large-sized sedan the Avalon last year after the 2022 model run. Not surprising since Americans have had an insatiable love affair with trucks and SUVs with sedans of all sizes taking the brunt of their popularity. Yet there's still a few sedans — Honda Accord, Toyota Camry and Corolla as example have rather held their ground amongst the stampede and don't look to be sent out to pasture anytime soon.
