The crossover segment originated to meet drivers' demand for a vehicle that blends features from both cars and sport utility vehicles. It literally crosses over from car to SUV. We'll describe two of the main features that define a crossover SUV. Fuel-Efficiency Most SUVs are constructed on truck, or body on frame, platforms, while most crossovers are built on car, or unibody, chassis. Because truck frames are heavier than car frames, they require more power (and, thus, fuel) to accelerate and more distance to come to a stop. Crossovers' design makes them lighter than full-size SUVS, allowing them to get better gas mileage and, in some instances, get up to speed and brake faster. Car-like Drivability The crossover's car chassis also means the vehicle drives more like a sedan than an SUV. It's typically easier to maneuver through crowded city streets and into tight parking spaces. Crossovers also have car-like suspensions built for practicality over off-road ability. As a result, they provide a smoother, more comfortable ride, even over rough roads. Because most full-size SUVs are significantly taller than crossovers, they tend to have more sway and rock, particularly around turns, making them a bit more challenging to handle. The crossover SUV's smooth handling, good gas mileage, and effortless maneuverability make it an ideal vehicle for commuters, families, and individuals alike. You don't have to own a truck or large SUV to get interior space and rugged looks. Stop by Peruzzi Toyota to test drive one of our popular crossovers today.

Anyone in Hatfield needs only a half-hour drive to visit The City of Brotherly Love. Here are three ideas for what to check out on a day trip to Philly. Liberty Bell Center and Independence Hall At the most famous historical attraction in Philadelphia, visitors can see the legendary Liberty Bell, which rang to mark the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence. If you can, plan this as your first stop earlier in the day, before the crowds reach their peak. If you have the time and a real interest in history, visit Independence Hall across the street as well, which offers excellent guided tours every day. Reading Terminal Market Shoppers and foodies can't get enough of this farmer's market and food court set inside the Reading Railroad 1891 train station. Have a light lunch or rich, exotic meal from cuisines around the world in between your browsing. To save time, take a look at the vendor map beforehand and mark down what you want to see the most. Philadelphia Museum of Art Anyone who has seen "Rocky" will recognize the iconic steps of this grand building, but the truly impressive sights are inside. The building is modeled after the temples of ancient Greece, while also featuring complete structures from other places and times, like a 16th-century Indian Temple. The museum is packed with works of Van Gogh, Picasso, Cézanne, and other enduring artists. If you only had one day to explore Philly from Hatfield, you can't go wrong with an itinerary that includes these three places. Give one or more of them a look as you plan and customize the perfect trip for you.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 20 years since the Toyota Prius ( available at Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA) first emerged as one of the earliest hybrid vehicles. In the beginning, this "green" vehicle appealed mostly to hardcore environmentalists, but since 2001, the draw of this efficient, fuel-saving vehicle has exploded. Of course, as with all its models, Toyota has continually improved on the design, style, and much more. The 2021 Toyota Prius is the latest point of pride. Peruzzi Toyota is thrilled to review four key changes that take the 2021 Prius to a whole new level. EVEN BETTER EFFICIENCY For two decades, the main appeal of the Prius has been its impressive fuel efficiency. The new model offers 52mpg (city and hwy combined). The Power Control Unit allows the vehicle to utilize battery power alone in most situations, smoothly tapping into the gas engine when needed. Plus, the current iteration of Toyota’s New Global Architecture frame makes the 2021 the quietest version ever. Additionally, that design results in ultra-low “drag” resulting in additional efficiency on the road. SPORTIER DESIGN Just 'cause it's "green" doesn't mean it has to be dull. The 2021 Toyota Prius ( which you can see – and drive – up close at Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA) features two new colors, Wind Chill Pearl and Supersonic Red. Add in color-keyed rear spoilers, glossy black exterior trim, and blackout headlight components, and you've got a car that turns heads. SMARTLY DESIGNED INTERIOR The 2021 Toyota Prius benefits from more interior space, so much so that the EPA now classifies it as a "midsize" car. Front-wheel-drive models boast an extra 50.7 cubic feet when the rear seatbacks are folded down. GREATER PRODUCTIVITY Of course, it’s all about how you spend your time on the road. The 2021 Prius offers you hands-free Bluetooth, while six interior speakers make the ride more enjoyable. Little touches like thoughtfully-designed cupholders for your commute ensure that your time behind the wheel will runs as smoothly as possible. LEADING-EDGE SAFETY The most current version of Toyota’s acclaimed Safety Sense features give drivers of the 2021 Prius even more control on the road. Pedestrian Detection automatically applies the brakes, even if you don’t see that person. Lane Departure Assist keeps you “between the lines” –literally, while Road Sign Assist gives you a heads-up on the dashboard with various traffic alerts. Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA is excited to help lead the way in offering the next wave of sporty “green” vehicles that are right at home in these new times!

The 2020 Tundra and Tacoma are both popular trucks sold by Toyota, but what are the key differences? Take a look at the important distinctions between the 2020 Tundra and 2020 Tacoma. Size and Exterior The Tundra is a full-size truck, while the Tacoma is a half-ton truck, which is smaller and more economical. The Tacoma can have either a short bed with 38 cubic feet or a long bed with 47 cubic feet, while the Tundra's beds come in either 55-cubic-feet or 65-cubic-feet sizes. Reflecting the size difference, The Tundra is also more spacious inside, in terms of headroom and legroom. Power and Capability The 2020 Tundra includes a single engine: a 5.7-liter V8 with 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque, giving it the better towing and payload numbers. By contrast, the 2020 Tacoma offers a 2.7-liter four-cylinder with 159 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque or a 3.5-liter V6 with 278 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque. Technology and Convenience The base model Tacoma has a 7-inch touchscreen, while the Tundra's models all have an 8-inch screen, but every single model of Tacoma after the base also includes that bigger screen. The Tacoma offers some optional features not seen on the Tacoma, like a wireless device charging pad, power-sliding rear window, and 120-volt bed power outlet. Overall, the Tundra is a better fit for a heavy-duty work truck, but the Tacoma has various exclusive off-roading features and a smaller size, making it superior for recreational off-roading. Take a look through the Peruzzi Toyota inventory and see if the right 2020 Tundra or Tacoma is waiting for you.

Your brakes are the last stop between you, your vehicle, and a potential inconvenience at best -- and a disaster at worst. On a day-to-day basis, we take them for granted. We hit the pedal, the vehicle slows down and comes to a stop…(hopefully). Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA are well-versed in the signs of weakening brakes and is here to share their expert tips in knowing when to get yours looked at. Warning Sign #1: Brakes Are Hard to Push Down If your brakes are harder to "press" than normal, it could be an issue with the vacuum hose, worn brake pads, a caliper that's seizing up, or a power system that's gone bad. Warning Sign #2: “Mushy” Brakes If your brakes feel squishy or mushy, and you have to push harder than normal to bring your vehicle to a stop, it could be an indicator of several things. Your brake fluid could be leaking (or low). A brake line could have blown, or a wheel bearing could be off. There’s another possible culprit: your master cylinder may need a look-see. Warning Sign #3: The Brakes Don’t Disengage When You Release You've hit the brakes, however, they don't quite "release" when you're done. This could be a problem related to a clog in the master cylinder, a pinched brake line, or a "seized" caliper. It could also relate to your parking brake. Warning Sign #4: Your Brake Pedal Goes All the Way to the Floor That’s never a good feeling. Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA notes that this is likely an issue with brake pressure, possibly with a leak or blown seal. We can find the problem and fix it. Warning Sign #5: Your Vehicle Shakes or Vibrates When You Apply the Brakes Yeah, not a good feeling when you hit the brakes and your vehicle starts to “shimmy.” Generally, this indicates rotor problems. They could be warped for some reason, or have a build-up issue. Whatever the reason, Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA stands ready to sort out whatever is happening with your brakes – and quickly fix any problems. Look, brakes are essential. If you've picked up on any issues based on our tips, get your vehicle into the service experts at Peruzzi Toyota and let us handle them!

The right car can be love at first sight, but that love won't last if you don't protect your car's exterior from the elements. Preserve your car's appearance and value with these exterior care and protection tips. Block Sunlight Over time, the sun can damage a car's clear coat and paint job, even in less hot and sunny climates. If at all possible, park your car inside a garage or in places that get less sunlight throughout the day. If that's not an option, consider buying a car cover, which also helps protect against the elements. Wash and Wax Using a soft, plush sponge or washing mitt, wash your car by hand at least once a week, and do not allow dirt, grime, pollen, etc. to sit and erode the paint. Use automobile care products and not harsh home products like detergent. You can also enhance the paint's shine and make washing easier with the occasional wax. Fix Small Blemishes Inevitably, your car will get little nicks and scratches in the paint from mistakes, fallen branches, or any number of things. The key is to fix them quickly because the longer they remain, the greater chance they have to absorb debris, grow deeper, and cause more damage. A very light scratch can be buffed or polished out sometimes, but a deep, long-forgotten scratch will almost always require re-painting that area. With these tips, you can keep your car's exterior looking as good as the day you bought it, or maybe even better. A little forethought and maintenance will go a long way and give you that new-car look for as long as you want.

The "weekend warrior," another term for a hatchback car, is a mix between sedan and SUV, given its roomy cargo area and vertical hatch rear door. If you're curious about what weekend warriors have to offer, here are the key benefits. Space There's no denying that a hatchback offers more cargo space than a sedan. What's more, it's not quite as much as what you'll find in the average SUV, which to some people might be overkill. If you discover later that you could use more space, models like the 2020 Corolla Hatchback feature 60/40-split folding rear seats, which can give you much more room for big trips or moving day. Headroom and Visibility Hatchbacks are usually slightly taller than sedans, leading to a higher roof line and better room to stretch out for passengers, or more room to stack cargo in the back. What's more, this taller frame also leads to better visibility for passengers and the driver. If you prefer good visibility without riding high like an SUV, a weekend warrior may be perfect. Smaller Frame Compared to SUVs, weekend warriors are smaller and more agile, a good trait in cramped city environments, parking lots, and much more. The 2020 Yaris Hatchback, for example, is smaller than some sedans without sacrificing on interior volume, and with the right body shape that navigates through tight spaces. Weekend warriors, also known as hatchbacks, are a wise middle ground between sedans and SUVs, offering advantages from both sides. Peruzzi Toyota is here to answer any questions about Toyota hatchbacks and get you the best vehicle for your needs.
