Whether it’s a car, SUV or truck, a vehicle purchase is one of the biggest any of us will ever make. Ensuring that you get the most for your hard-earned money is essential. That’s why Toyota has long been known as one of the most reliable, easy-to-own brands. Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA is proud to represent them, and proud to share these key reasons why Toyota should be your first pick. LOW COST OF OWNERSHIP The sticker price of a new vehicle is only the start. Over its lifetime, you also have to factor in things like repairs and overall maintenance. Toyotas are well-known for being super-affordable up front, with exceptionally low maintenance needs and a long life on the road. Overall, the “cost of ownership” for Toyota vehicles makes them one of the best buys on the market. A HIGH FOCUS ON FUNCTION Toyota’s reputation for reliability is rooted in some smart, conscious decisions. Many vehicles today feature a lot of high-end parts that cost a lot to repair or replace when something goes wrong. Toyota’s goal to be both dependable and practical has resulted in using parts that have been rigorously tested for dependability and longevity. So, if something does happen, it’s far easier and economical to address it. While all Toyotas are sporty and great-looking, it’s more important that they won’t let you down when it counts. TECHNOLOGY THAT’S TESTED Every model year, we hear about all the spiffy new features being unveiled by our competitors. But Toyota has found that it’s better to thoroughly research and test new technology before rushing to add it to our vehicles. This way, we know it will be safe and reliable for our customers. You’ll definitely get all the great technology that you want, but you’ll also know that it’s been rigorously checked. These are only three of the great reasons that Toyotas – like those available at Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield – make for the most reliable vehicles you can buy. We’ve got so many options to show you at our showroom; come by for an up-close experience!

It’s a fact that vehicles are becoming more and more “connected.” It’s absolutely vital that we have access to the digital life we’ve built through our phones and more. Toyota is always on the leading edge of new technology for their vehicles, and one of the coolest new features is the “Driver’s Companion,” featured in the new Toyota Sienna. Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA is pretty excited about it, so here’s how it works. Essentially, the Driver’s Companion serves as a digital owner’s manual. Let’s be honest: how many of us actually read the thing? We just jump in and go. But then comes a moment when you’re not sure how to set your seats for maximum comfort or how to use the different camera features. Or what about all those buttons on the console? You’re scrambling for an answer. The Driver’s Companion in the Toyota Sienna is a voice-activated assistant – named “Joya,” by the way – who walks you through whatever you need or want to know. Driver’s Companion is synced to your particular vehicle through the VIN, so it knows every feature.  And there are a lot of great ones that you’ll want to be aware of, so let Joya make it easy to get the absolute most out of your Sienna! At the moment, Driver’s Companion is only available in the Toyota Sienna (which is available at Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield). Yet, the automaker is always looking to connect more customers with leading-edge technology that makes driving safer, more convenient, and fun. From the suite of safety-sense features that alert you to too-close drivers, pedestrians, lane departure and more, to connectivity to your phone and infotainment, stop into Peruzzi Toyota to see the many ways our vehicles make driving better.

Toyota just achieved an impressive milestone: during the second quarter of this year, the automaker outsold the mighty General Motors for the first time since 1998! From April through June, nearly 689,000 vehicles were sold in America, beating analysts’ expectations. That number tops GM’s number of just over 688,000 in sales – and Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA is proud to have been a part of this big achievement. This last year has been challenging for every automaker for one big reason: the all-important semiconductor chip, which is crucial to operating everything from safety features to onboard “infotainment” panels, was in short supply. Toyota, however, was far more nimble in handling this global shortage. Jessica Caldwell, Executive Director of Insights at the online auto resource, Edmunds, notes that Toyota has a long tradition of seeing further down the road regarding their supply chain. Thus, they know how to manage lower inventories. Additional reports indicate that Toyota wisely had been stockpiling these chips, allowing them to maintain production. Of course, another reason for Toyota’s impressive sales achievement is the reputation for safety and quality. While Toyota didn’t comment on the chip issue, they offered the following statement on their sales achievement: “We are grateful to our loyal customers for putting their safety and trust in Toyota and Lexus vehicles.  Our focus has always been - and will continue to be - on being the best brand in terms of safety and quality in our customers’ minds.  And as part of our continuous improvement philosophy, we are always finding better ways of doing things, and ultimately make better products our customers love and trust.” Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA is very proud to offer this exceptional line of vehicles, and to celebrate Toyota’s big sales success!

While Toyota has been a leader in hybrid vehicles, it’s been taking its time moving forward on electric ones. That may be about to change, if a certain rumor flying around the auto world proves to be true: the automaker is reportedly in talks with Tesla to build an electric car together. Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA can’t confirm this exciting (possible) news, but we’re happy to share what little details we’ve heard (and we’ll keep you posted as we learn more). OK, so Toyota and Tesla have done some work together before: the all-electric 2021 Toyota RAV4 utilizes a Tesla battery system. But this rumored development would be truly groundbreaking. By using Tesla’s electric vehicle tech and software and placing it within Toyota’s “platform” for mass-producing cars, it could put Toyota far ahead of other automakers in the electric vehicle space. According to earlier reports, Toyota and Tesla have been reviewing a potential partnership since last year. For its part, Tesla has said they’re open to licensing their technology to any automaking partner as a way to put more sustainable vehicles on the road. Toyota executives are keeping pretty quiet on these rumored developments, but it’s been a hot story on automotive-related social media sites. Suffice to say, it would put the automaker at the front of a particularly supercharged area of today’s vehicle creation. However, if you’re not up for waiting for this “next big thing,” Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield offers a wide selection of hybrids, like the above-mentioned RAV4. The combination of gas and electric provides the fuel economy and power you need, with the “green” technology you want. Toyota is committed to creating cars, trucks, and SUVs that perform in every real-world condition – but that also do their bit to make that world more environmentally-sound.
