2012 toyota prius plug in hybrid los angeles
Now Available in Los Angeles, CA

The moment many of us have been waiting for has finally come. As of yesterday, May 1, 2012, the all-new 2012 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid is now available for test drive, sale, and lease here in Los Angeles. Most Toyota dealerships have a waiting list that they will notify by phone and email, but reports show that Los Angeles Toyota dealerships have received a good number of these Prius Plug In Hybrids which gives walk-ins a chance to get their hands on one of these extremely popular vehicles. With the price of fuel continually on the rise, the new Prius Plug-In Hybrid is likely to make quite the splash on the popularity charts this Summer. The new “recharged” Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid is the first-ever Toyota electric vehicle which allows drivers to operate the Prius on electricity only. Toyota’s website reports that the Prius Plug-In Hybrid can “travel up to 62 mph on electric power alone…If you run out of electric charge, the vehicle seamlessly shifts into hybrid mode, still giving you great mpg.”

 

The way the Prius Plug-In Hybrid charges is through a standard household outlet with a 15 amp circuit. The battery can be fully charged in about 3 hours. However, you can upgrade to a dedicated 240v EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) outlet and your Prius battery will charge in only half the time (1.5hrs). The option of having dedicated electric driving can really add up in the savings department. If you need to run errands around town or go somewhere local, you can do it on a pure electric charge and consume zero fuel whatsoever. If you’re out on the roads and your charge begins to get low, you won’t have to worry because the hybrid aspect of the Prius will kick in and use some fuel to compensate – still resulting in amazing MPG.

 

So if you’ve been one of those people anxiously waiting for the new Prius Plug-In Hybrid, they’re here! Contact your local Toyota dealer or use our secure Contact Form and we can recommend a reputable dealer local to you.

One theme was an automobile created for those who would utilize them as family automobiles. The other theme would be automobiles designed for those who were using them more for work purposes.

2011 blue toyota prius in los angeles Far too often a company will reach a point where they become content with how far they have come and as such begin to lost sight of how they got to that point in the first place, in many cases decades prior to that point. Success doesn’t occur overnight so when corporations stop attempting to change and adapt with the times, that is when the competitor jumps up and take a giant bite out of their market share.

Thankfully for Toyota lovers, and even more specifically, thankfully for Toyota Prius lovers this years models of the 2011 Toyota Prius are an excellent example of how a company can go from taking a groundbreaking and record setting automobile and make it even better. Through minor and innovative alterations like improved aerodynamic drag, the vehicle that has been the envy of the fuel efficiency world has only increased its efficiency resulting in even fewer trips to the gas stations and even more money kept in the pockets of Prius owners!

Other minor tweaks included by the engineers at Toyota is improved handling through a redesigned suspension, electric steering improvements and even a slightly larger gas engine under the hood that when combined with the technologically advanced electric motor make you forget for a moment that you are driving a hybrid vehicle and not a sports car. Much like people, automobiles are never done growing and maturing. This years variety of trim levels available on the 2011 Toyota Prius is truly a tribute to the fact that Toyota will never stop looking for ways to make your driving experience better in every imaginable way.

Written by on · Leave a Comment

los angeles toyota camry black 2011The best test of the quality of something is to put it up against its competitors and let them slug it out to see who the victor is and who has the superior product. This is exactly what we at Toyota did, as we are not afraid to put our products up against any other vehicles in their class to see which one would win in a hypothetical fight. When we compared our incredible new 2011 Toyota Camry with vehicles that claim to be superior to the Camry it became even more evident that the Toyota Camry is an untouchable competitor no matter who the opponent may be.

For example, when the 2011 Toyota Camry was put side by side with the 2010 Chevy Malibu, the Camry was the victor in thirty three different comparisons including braking ability, handling and shiftiness and even paint quality! The next to step into the ring was a 2010 Ford Fusion which was bested by the Camry in twenty five different categories which included superior cornering ability on wet roads, interior sound and even overall ride quality. Finally, when compared to the supposed comparable 2010 Honda Accord, the Toyota Camry was declared the winner of an incredible twenty eight different tests such as interior fabric quality, air conditioning performance and the ability to avoid obstacles on a wet road.

When put side by side there is only one conclusion that a person can come to when it comes to the 2011 Toyota Camry. Any way you look at it, the Camry is the best and only option for those looking for the top family sedan on the market today.

It is no different when you are an automobile company creating some of the most capable vehicles the world has ever seen year in and year out. While it is far from easy, it is a challenge the engineers at Toyota welcome with open arms and work every day to reach. Well, when it comes to the 2011 Toyota Tacoma their hard work has definitely payed off as the resulting product is hands down the top choice for a midsize pickup truck.

With a ridiculous five different trim level options to choose from on the Tacoma it can be said with near certainty that if you looking for a pickup truck, there is a Tacoma that will suit your needs.

gray 2011 avalon by toyota in los angelesThere are so many automobile companies that say that if you come in to buy a vehicle you can get absolutely every bell and whistle you could ever want for a price you can’t imagine. Since it is too good to be true, you go in and quickly realize that what you want is only available in the most expensive trim level while the trim level you can afford is nothing but the most basic of amenities that even your grandparent’s car had two decades ago! This is an age old car sales technique which the dealerships just want to get you into their showroom so they can hassle you into buying a car.

Well those days are done as Toyota as a brand is committed to offering the latest and greatest technologies in their vehicles no matter what your ability to spend may be. This is never more true when you are talking about the 2011 Toyota Avalon and the specifications offered on each of the trim levels. For example, the base trim level of the 2011 Avalon offers amazing features such as; 17-inch alloy wheels, auto-dimming driver and rearview mirrors, heated mirrors, a sunroof, automatic headlights, leather upholstery, a back-up camera (mounted in the rearview mirror), wood trim, cruise control, full power accessories, dual-zone automatic climate control, a reclining rear seat, Bluetooth capabilities, and a nine-speaker stereo among many other features.

The Limited trim level offers spectacular additions to the Avalon like; xenon headlights, automatic wipers, keyless ignition/entry, heated and ventilated front seats, driver memory functions, a power rear sunshade and a more powerful audio system with 12 speakers.

Toyota Prius Is Simply Unbeatable In Los Angeles

Written by on · Leave a Comment

2011 toyota prius in los angeles white color with custom artworkThey say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so if that is the case consider us appreciative. How else does one explain the numerous attempts by nearly every major automobile brand to create a competitor to the Toyota Prius. Unfortunately for them however, their efforts have proven quite fruitless as the Toyota Prius is still the preeminent hybrid vehicle on the market today. That being said, the 2011 Toyota Prius continues the tradition of a long line of groundbreaking hybrid vehicles. While the choices may be plenty for electric and hybrid vehicles on the market, there is simply no matching the 2011 Toyota Prius’s superior fuel economy with a quiet luxurious cabin and amenities usually reserved for vehicles more than three times the cost of the Prius.

So how exactly does the 2011 Toyota Prius offer a staggering 51/48 mpg city/highway? Well for starters the engineers at Toyota were committed to creating a vehicle that had the absolute best fuel efficiency of any vehicle on the market, and they certainly succeeded. Using techniques to reduce aerodynamic drag by improving the exterior of the vehicle to look sleeker and sportier, combined with a larger gas engine and stronger electric motor for more power and better fuel economy, the 2011 Toyota Prius has once again reminded the world as to why it is the preeminent hybrid vehicle on the market bar none!

Don’t be fooled by these so called “all-electric” vehicles as they have a severely limited driving range which is likely to massively inhibit your day to day life. The Toyota Hybrid can get you anywhere and everywhere without any restrictions on the distance you can drive before worrying about being out of luck without any gas engine to fall back on whatsoever! The competitors keep nipping at the heels of the Toyota Prius yet when push comes to shove there is simply no vehicle on the market that offers the consumer such an incredible overall driving experience while reducing their carbon footprint and going green. More info is available on our 2011 Toyota Prius Los Angeles page.
