2013 Toyota Avalon Unveiled at NY Auto Show

As the 2012 New York Auto Show drew near, Toyota teased an image of an upcoming vehicle they planned on showing off. They did not name which vehicle the picture featured, which created a lot of buzz among website sites, blogs, and car enthusiasts. The image showed a vehicle with stunning lines, a wide stance, and a low profile. While many people speculated this was certainly a concept car, Toyota announced it would be a production vehicle. 

Toyota did not disappoint either! The teaser image was revealed to be the next generation of the Toyota Avalon full-size sedan.  For those lucky enough to see this model in person quickly discovered that it's even more captivating than the teaser image ever could have led us to believe.

From its sleek and stealthy exterior to its luxurious interior, the 2013 Toyota Avalon has caught the attention of the entire automotive industry.  While Toyota is proud to release a vehicle that looks as appealing as the Avalon, their reputation has always been safe and reliable vehicles. You will be pleased to know that Toyota did not take any shortcuts in these two categories when creating the new Avalon. Toyota has equipped the fourth-generation Avalon with not only the Star Safety System, but also includes features such as

  • Rearview camera
  • Pre-collision system
  • Blind Spot Monitoring system

The starting price, and date of availability has not yet been made available for the 2013 Toyota Avalon. The folks at Toyota of Wallingford know that one should be coming in the near future. As soon as we find out more details, we will let you know! After all, everyone at Toyota of Wallingford in Connecticut is dedicated to keeping you informed.

Toyota Hydrogen Concept Reaches Detroit

In recent years we have seen Toyota make huge strides in the advancement of automotive technology. For example, let's take a look at the Toyota Prius - the very first mass produced hybrid gas and electric vehicle. Not only is this vehicle a top seller in the US, but across the world!  From the dealer lots at Toyota of Wallingford in Wallingford, CT to dealerships across the country, the Toyota Prius is one of the most demanded vehicles of all time.

 

At 2012's North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Toyota took the next step in the "green movement" with their all new Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV).

 

Officially dubbed as the Toyota FCV-R, the concept only caught a few glimpses at 2012 NAIAS. Toyota has been keeping relatively quiet about this new vehicle, since a production model is not yet available. Their hope to really impress the public once a production car is ready.

 

The FCV-R (FCV- Fuel Cell Vehicle, R for "Reality and Revolution") is significant because "it reminds us that Toyota is still planning to field a hydrogen-powered car by 2015."1

 

Toyota started the trend with the Prius, and was followed by a plethora of other brands later. While some auto makers have tried bringing Hydrogen-powered cars to the public, they have not had very much success. Right now, Hydrogen powered cars are not nearly as as popular as hybrid gas / electric cars. Once Toyota releases their FCV to the general public, we anticipate this to change rather quickly! 


If you have any questions, concerns, or comments about the FCV-R or other 2012 Toyota cars for sale, feel free to call us during normal business hours at 800-952-0950. You can also fill out a comment form, or submit your thoughts below! From everybody at Toyota of Wallingford, we hope to see you soon.
