Toyota Once Again Named World’s Top Auto Manufacturer

by

In a comeback that will go down in automotive history, Toyota has reclaimed its spot as the world’s largest auto manufacturer.  Toyota was known as the world’s largest auto manufacturer between 2008 and 2010, but slipped from top place to General Motors after the Japanese earthquake and then flooding in Thailand, which completely disrupted production.

Fortunately for the brand, they’ve reclaimed the crowin, having sold 2.49 million units during the first quarter of 2012, compared to 2.28 million by General Motors.  Volkswagen, the world’s number three, sold 2.16 million.  Volkswagen is extremely popular in Europe, thanks partly to their success in diesel engineering which is highly sough after in those markets.

Toyota is in a better position now than it has been in years thanks to the many fuel-efficient vehicles they have available, chief among them being the Prius.  With global gas prices still high, demand for its fuel-efficient vehicles is soaring

To find out more about the Toyota Prius or any other Toyota vehicle, contact Magic Toyota.

Toyota Quadruple Sale Profits

Toyota Motor recorded a distinctly higher quarterly profit on Wednesday and revealed an upbeat fiscal 2013 forecast.  This is superbly excellent new for Toyota as it continues to rebound from last year’s natural disasters in Japan and Thailand.  The automaker showed aa 23% jump in quarterly sales for the period ended March 31 to 18.58 trillion yen from 4.6 trillion yen a year ago. Its profit more than quadrupled to 121 billion yen.

“Certainly the last fiscal year was extremely challenging due to the natural disasters in Japan and Thailand, plus the unprecedented strength of the yen,” Toyota president Akio Toyoda told media. “But, thanks to the concerted efforts of our employees, suppliers, and dealers, we were able to recover production and sales faster than anticipated and achieved a strong result

Akio Toyoda also said the Toyota company plans to announce significant changes to some of its products in many different markets this year as part of a “better cars” campaign.

Toyota to Unveil RAV4 Electric

by

The 26th International Electric Vehicle Symposium, or EVS26, happens during the second week of May this year, from the 6th through the 9th.  The EVS26 is all about electric cars and vehicles, electric vehicle charging and refueling, environment policies with plenty more to see and hear about.  This year, Toyota Motor Corp. said it will reveal the new RAV4 EV compact crossover during the conference.

Toyota, which has long said it would build a battery-powered version of the RAV4, last year confirmed it would sell the coming vehicle to retail consumers and not just to fleet customers. The auto manufacturer previously built electric powered RAVs in the late 1990s and said it expects the new version to compete effectively against the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt and other electric and plug-in-hybrid models coming to market soon.

To be one of the very first people to get your hands on a battery-powered RAV4, or any other 2013 vehicle, contact Magic Toyota in Everett.

Comedian Adam Carolla Wins Toyota Celebrity Race

“In my past races, I finished third and ninth, so I expected to finish somewhere between 15th and 18th this time,” Carolla said. “But it’s a really amazing feeling to win. And I’m also thrilled to benefit the kids at the children’s hospitals–and also the parents, who are by their kids’ side around the clock. This win is for the parents!”

2010 Formula Rookie of the Year Fredric Aasbo finished first in the Pro category.  Aasbo was happy to stand on the victory stage alongside Carolla and said, “I am so excited just to have been a part of the race, competing alongside all these great people.

Toyota Introduces the Redesigned 2013 Avalon

by

During the 2012 New York International Auto Show, which happened last week, Toyota debuted their all-new 2013 Toyota Avalon and sent the automotive press buzzing.  When popular cars like the Avalon get completely redone, they tend to get a lot of media attention, and the 2013 Avalon was no different.  This new Avalon offers improved dynamic performance, a greater degree of refinement, and a highly spacious, comfortable interior experience with an abundance of outstanding convenience technologies.

The Avalon was designed in the US with a North American-focused design and engineering effort and will be manufactured and assembled in Toyota’s Kentucky facility.  The new sedan’s dramatic exterior and interior design was conceived by a youthful and talented team at the Calty Design Research Inc. facilities in Southern California and Michigan.

Among other things, the 2013 Avalon will have upgraded exterior and interior design, structural and chassis improvements, better ride quality, more stability and handling, more advanced valving and rebound springs, enhanced drive modes and cabin noise reductions.  To find out more about the new Avalon or to be the first to own the 2013 model, contact Magic Toyota in Everett.

Toyota to Have Luxury Brand Diesel Engines and Battery Technology

by

Toyota has entered the second phase of their partnership with BMW for diesel engines and to research lithium-ion battery.  The collaboration was announced last December when Toyota announced BMW would be providing them with diesel engines.  Beginning in 2004, Toyota’s diesel engines will be high-luxury grade 1.6 and 2.o liter diesel engines for the European market.  Diesels remain popular in Europe and the partnership will continue to allow Toyota a way to offer low-emissions and fuel-efficient diesel options to its customers.

Now, the two companies will move forward on producing the next generation of lithium-ion batteries that will be used in future hybrid and electric vehicles. Their goal is to produce lighter, higher-performance batteries by using new materials for cathodes, anodes, and electrolytes.

BMW isn’t the only company Toyota is partnering with for battery technology. Last summer Toyota turned to Tesla to provide batteries for the all-electric RAV4. In exchange, Toyota is providing Tesla some tips on mass production techniques.

Toyota to Debut All-New Sedan During Auto Show

by

Earlier today, Toyota released a teaser image of its brand new car which will be revealed during the New York Auto Show on April 5th.  They have described the car as “stunning” and having an “elegant yet athletic look”.  Toyota has not released the name of the sedan, so automotive press isn’t sure if it’s a new version of a current vehicle, or a completely brand new car altogether.  Consensus seems to be that it’s a new version of the Avalon and may get a new name as well.

Though all we get is a small peak of the rear of the vehicle, it’s obvious how sleek and sporty the vehicle looks.  It has been compared to the coupe trend of Europe, seen on the Volkswagen CC, Mercedes-Benz CLS and Audi A7.  The big difference is that this new mystery Toyota vehicle was designed in the US.

The Toyota FT-Bh Finally Unveiled

by

When the Geneva Motor Show happens, the entire automotive world is set into overdrive.  There are too many exciting things that happen at a massive international auto show like this to mention.  One way Toyota helped to build up the anticipation was to put out teaser sketches, photos and video of their FT-Bh concept, which had everyone bursting with curiosity.

With this hybrid concept being showcased for its first time in Geneva, we get a clear glimpse of the direction Toyota is going in.  It’s all about lower emissions, comfort, ease and cutting edge technology.

The FT-Bh is an ultra lightweight hatchback that is packed with efficiency.  The concept is one of the lightest ever built with a lighter hybrid engine so it requires less power to propel.  The windows have been glazed to help keep either the heat or cold in, depending on the weather.  Even the heating and air-conditioning systems have been optimized to use less energy.
