Toyota posts solid October sales

The holiday season is rapidly approaching and all signs point to it being another big one for the Toyota nameplate. Thanks to the solid performance of models like the all-new 2014 Toyota Tundra, which saw a 23 percent increase in sales, and the all-new 2014 Toyota Avalon, which posted triple-digit gains for the eighth consecutive month, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A. reported overall October sales of 168,976 units, a 4.8 percent increase over the same month last year.   The Toyota Division posted October sales of 146,257 units, a 4 percent year-over-year increase on a daily-selling-rate basis, and an 8 percent increase in terms of raw volume. See the list below for top Toyota performers in October.  
  • Toyota Corolla (23,637 units)
  • Toyota Avalon (8th consecutive month of triple-digit gains)
  • Toyota Camry (nearly 30,000 units sold)
  • Toyota TMS hybrid (nearly 23,800 units sold)
  • Toyota Prius family (15,623 units)
  • Toyota RAV4 (a 60.8 percent increase and best-ever October)
  • Toyota Sienna (a 10.1 percent increase thanks to sales of over 8,500 units)
  • Toyota division pickups (over 22,000 units sold
  The numbers don't lie, and they are really impressive. Toyota has a lot of momentum going into the holiday season. This is thanks in part to an increased demand in fuel efficient, family-oriented vehicles, something Gurnee dealers are already well aware of. This explains the continued strong performance by the Toyota TMS hybrid line, as well as the ever-popular Prius family.   Yet these models are not alone. The Toyota Corolla, Toyota Camry and Toyota RAV4 all deliver the combination of performance, fuel efficiency and versatility that the Toyota nameplate has become known for. It is a powerful combination, because it gives you a line of vehicles that can take what you throw at it without hurting you at the pump. Isn't that what modern driving is all about?

The Only Minivan Available with All-Wheel Drive: the 2020 Toyota Sienna

It wasn’t long ago that drivers turned to sedans like the 2019 Toyota Camry for their next family car. In more recent years, a lot of motorists have opted for an SUV as their family hauler. While you can’t go wrong with either of those body styles when you’re looking for a family-friendly automobile, the 2020 Toyota Sienna is proof that you shouldn’t overlook a minivan when you’re in the market for a family-oriented vehicle. more The roomy Toyota Sienna has seating for seven or eight passengers depending on the trim and configuration you choose. We’re proud to tell you that two of the minivan’s trims are offered in mobility-enhanced forms, which boast a power-operated Auto Access Seat. This seat makes it much easier for people with disabilities to access and maneuver through the cabin. When you visit our Toyota dealership near Gurnee, IL to check out the 2020 Toyota Sienna, you’ll see that the vehicle is offered in five primary trims. Every trim is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that’s matched by a responsive eight-speed automatic transmission. With the exception of the base L model, all the trims are eligible for an AWD system which can provide some extra traction when the weather’s bad. Beginning with the base trim, the 2020 Toyota Sienna has some enviable tech features, including five USB ports, Apple CarPlay™, and a seven-inch touchscreen. The minivan is also outfitted with some laudable advanced safety features, which include a forward collision warning and intervention system, a lane departure warning, and dynamic cruise control, among others. By now, we’re sure you’re ready to take a 2020 Toyota Sienna for a test drive. To see how great it feels behind the wheel of a new Toyota Sienna, head over to Classic Toyota today.

The 2020 Toyota Supra Tears up the Track

At Classic Toyota in Waukegan, IL we know that people think of dependability and reliability when they think of Toyota vehicles. However, our cars can be a ton of fun too. Models like the 2020 Toyota Corolla continue to get sporty upgrades, and then we have the Toyota Supra. We have to talk about this revived Toyota sports car and how it just keeps impressing on the racetrack. more The 2020 Toyota Supra recently made its way to the Buttonwillow Raceway. On this tough course, any lap time under two minutes is considered extremely fast. The 2020 Toyota Supra took on this track and ended up with a lap time of just under one minute and fifty-nine seconds. It beat a number of competing models, including vehicles that are much more expensive and much higher-regarded for their performance abilities. This small sports car delivers a lot of performance for the money. The lap time of the 2020 Toyota Supra is especially impressive because it's only powered by a 3.0-liter V6 turbo engine that produces 335 horsepower. That's a powerful engine, but it's not particularly unusual for sports cars in the Toyota Supra class. The 2020 Toyota Supra did so well because it has been painstakingly redesigned to make the most of its power. The revived 2020 Toyota Supra really does the name proud. Whether you've experienced a Toyota sports car before or this would be your first one, you owe this model a closer look. So when you're looking for both dependability and a fun driving experience, visit our Illinois Toyota dealership. Our expert Toyota dealers are ready to answer any questions you have about the 2020 Toyota Supra or our other capable models. We hope to see you soon!

Spring Cleaning at Classic Toyota

We're all familiar with the concept of spring cleaning. It's what we all do at home once the cold winter months are behind us and the promise of warmer weather arrives. Classic Toyota, your friendly Waukegan Toyota dealer, is here to remind you that spring cleaning also applies to your vehicle and we're here to assist! It's a great time of year to address any service and maintenance needs that may have been put on the backburner during the winter months and, in some cases, the perfect time to upgrade your vehicle entirely with a brilliant new Toyota model. We have you covered on all fronts and we'd like to take this opportunity to mention a few important automotive spring cleaning items that you don't want to forget! Perhaps you've had your current vehicle for a number of years or maybe you just got yourself a 2018 Toyota Camry last year (if so, great choice - KBB.com raved about its "reliability, satisfaction, and ease of use"). Regardless of what you're driving, it's essential to stay on top of the service and maintenance your vehicle needs. It's very common for drivers to postpone addressing these things during the winter when you're driving less, stuck inside, and focused on all the seasonal activities and holidays that winter brings. Now that the spring is here, it's the perfect time to bring your vehicle in for its own spring cleaning. Things like tire rotations (or tire changes if you installed winter tires), oil changes, fluid checks, brake checks, and many other maintenance items are essential if you want to maximize performance and preserve longevity. The Toyota service center at our dealership in Waukegan is the best place to get every service your vehicle needs and our team of skilled technicians work quickly and efficiently. Classic Toyota aims to be your go-to car dealership and your number one destination for all your automotive needs. We look forward to showing you everything we have to offer and hope to have that opportunity soon. Thanks and have a great day!
