Toyota Plans to Add to Hybrid Lineup In Near Future

It likely comes as no surprise that Toyota is known for its stellar hybrid lineup. After all, the Japanese automaker is the genius behind the Toyota Prius and all of its variants. And now, Toyota of Wallingford is pleased to announce that Toyota has intentions to expand its hybrid lineup even more over the next three years.

How much more?

Well, quite a bit, as Toyota is promising the addition of 21 new hybrid models to its new Toyota lineup over the course of three years. If you do the math, this equals out to seven models per year.

And new hybrids aren't all Toyota has up its sleeve to boost its green initiative, as the innovative automaker is planning to introduce one new all-electric fuel-cell vehicle, as well.

In terms of specific details surrounding Toyota's new green vehicles, they are limited at this time. We do know that the iQ EV, from Toyota's counterpart, Scion is slated to arrive around December, and the all-new Toyota RAV4 EV has officially arrived at U.S. dealerships as of September, and is boasting some pretty impressive specs.

However, in the grand scheme of things, three years is really not far away, and we're sure to receive consistent updates along the way. And as a dedicated enthusiast, Toyota of Wallingford promises to post any news we catch wind of right here on our blog, to which we encourage you to subscribe. And in the meantime, if you're in the market for a new or gently used car model, we invite you to visit us at 859 North Colony Rd. Wallingford, CT 06492 where we carry a wide variety of both.

 

Toyota Records Incredible Sales of Prius Plug-In

In our last post, we here at Toyota of Wallingford outlined how long it typically takes to sell a 2012 Toyota Prius c. And while that might seem impressive, we have another sales statistic that's will wow you even more.

The 2012 Toyota Prius Plug-In is the newest member of the Prius Family of Cars, and it's available for a test drive here at 859 North Colony Rd. Wallingford, CT 06492. Last month, it sold a total of 1,654 units last month across the country.

Doesn't seem like a whole lot at a glance? Allow us to put it into perspective. Last month, its two biggest competitors, the Volt and Leaf, both sold fewer models. Respectively, they sold 1,462 and 370 units last month. And they've been well established within the automotive world for years longer than the Prius Plug-In. In other words, the 2012 Toyota Prius Plug-In is living up to the high standards that the original 2012 Toyota Prius has set in place.

And it's continuing to sell quite well too, as are all other Prius models. In fact, last month's Prius sales topped a combined 25,168 units. What's more incredible is that number marks a 126.9-percent increase over the same time last year. In other words, more drivers near Hartford and beyond are looking to save money at the pump, and the Prius Family of Cars is the best way to do so.
