The 2017 Prius Prime is a stylish ride with premium amenities and more power than you might think.
1. Class Leading Efficiency
Everything about the Prius is designed to give you ultimate efficiency. The front grille shutter closes when you reach high speeds to help you better slip through the air. The vehicle itself is made of lightweight carbon-fiber polymer, something completely new for Toyota. This allows the car to be lighter without sacrificing safety.
The 2017 Prius Prime is leading the class with an estimated total driving range of 640 miles. The Prius Prime can get up to an astonishing 133 miles per gallon.
2. Top Technology
The Prius Prime comes standard with technology amenities that offer you a safer and more enjoyable driving experience. All 2017 Prius Prime have a head-up color display that tells you exactly how much battery and gas you have left without ever having to take your eyes off the road.
The 4.2-inch, color multi-information display on the dashboard gives you all the Prius’ vitals at a quick glance. In the center console is an 11.6-inch HD multimedia display. The touchscreen display allows you to swipe, tap, and zoom with ease.
3. More Driving Options
The 2017 Prius Prime has three driving modes to choose from: EV auto mode, EV mode, and HV mode. The auto mode will intelligently select whichever mode is best and most efficient. EV mode uses the electricity that is stored in the battery while HV mode is the hybrid mode that switches between the battery and the gas for the best power and fuel efficiency.

The Advantages of CVT Transmissions
The two most common types of transmissions you’ll find in modern cars are manual, in which the driver manually switches gears, and automatic, in which the car switches gears automatically. There is a third type of transmission, however, which is steadily growing in popularity in Toyota vehicles – CVT, or continuously variable transmission. But what exactly is CVT, and is it the best option for you and your car? Let’s look at the advantages of a continuously variable transmission.
Instead of having multiple gears like a manual or automatic transmission, CVT has just a single universal gear for all speeds. This means you won’t feel any gears shifting when you accelerate like you would with an automatic transmission. Once your engine speed has reached 5,000 rpm, the engine remains at this speed no matter how fast or slow you’re driving afterwards.
This absence of gear shifting contributes to some of the advantages of a continuously variable transmission. You’ll find greater fuel-efficiency in a car with CVT – for example, the 2016 Toyota Corolla LE Eco comes to 42 mpg, which is phenomenal for a non-hybrid. You’ll also be able to accelerate faster when your engine doesn’t have to shift gears at higher speeds.
See for yourself the difference that a continuously variable transmission can make. Visit us at Peruzzi Toyota and test drive a car equipped with CVT, such as the 2017 Corolla LE. While you’re here, feel free to check out our impressive inventory of over 600 new and certified pre-owned vehicles as well. We look forward to seeing you!
Toyota Steps It Up for the 2018 Camry
For the last 15 years, the Toyota Camry has been the best-selling sedan in America. It’s become famous for its reliability, affordability, and simplicity, but it’s also never been the type of car that enthusiasts get worked up over. However, that’s all about to change with the upcoming 2018 Camry, designed by Toyota to be more powerful, more fuel-efficient, and more eye-catching than every Camry before it.
Depending on which trim level you choose to go with (and Toyota’s giving you plenty of options), the 2018 Camry comes with either a 2.5 liter four-cylinder engine, a 3.5 liter V6 engine, or a hybrid engine. The four-cylinder engine comes to 206 horsepower, a jump of 30 from last year, and a combined 35 mpg, a 26 percent improvement. If it’s fuel efficiency you’re after, the hybrid engine gives you an incredible combined 52 mpg. If engine power is more your speed, however, the V6 comes to an impressive 301 horsepower.
These new Camry engines are obviously an improvement, but what about safety and technology features? Luckily, Toyota doesn’t skimp on these either – every 2018 Camry comes standard with the Toyota Safety Sense-P system, which includes forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, and lane-departure warning. You can also find built-in navigation and Toyota’s Entune 3.0 infotainment system, which connects to your smartphone.
The 2018 Camry is scheduled to reach Toyota dealers, including Peruzzi Toyota, this July. Come give us a visit at Peruzzi Toyota and see for yourself just how much the Camry has changed in a year. And if you’re in the market for a new 2017 Camry, or even a used or certified pre-owned Camry, you can be sure that we’ve got you covered there, too. We’re looking forward to seeing you soon!

Toyota Prius Prime Wins World Green Car Award
For the second year in a row, a Toyota has won the World Green Car title from the World Car Awards program. Last year’s winner was the Toyota Mirai, but this year’s winner is a bit more of a household name – the Toyota Prius Prime. Competing against 11 other vehicles and selected by a panel of 75 automotive journalists from around the world, the Prius Prime came out on top when judged on its tailpipe emissions, fuel consumption, and use of a major advanced power plant technology.
You’d be hard-pressed to find a more fuel-efficient car than the Prius Prime. With a combined mpg of 54 and electric mpg equivalent of 133, it’s the most fuel-efficient car in its class. When the battery is fully charged, which takes just 5.5 hours from a standard household outlet, you can drive the Prius Prime for 25 miles on EV (electric-only) mode. On a fully charged battery and full tank of gas, however, the total driving range of the Prius Prime in Hybrid Mode is 640 miles. That’s Philadelphia to Indianapolis in one straight shot.
There’s more to the Prius Prime than fuel-efficiency, however. Inside you’ll find the latest convenience and technology features, like an 11.6-inch HD multimedia display for navigation and the Entune App Suite. An advanced 4.2-inch color multi-information display keeps track of the vehicle’s vital information such as speed, temperature, and energy use all in one place. Most unique of all, this vital info can be projected onto the windshield directly in front of you using the Head-Up Display technology, so you never have to take your eyes off the road to check on your speed or gas.

Consumer Reports has released their annual Best Cars of the Year list for 2017, and for the third year straight, Toyota takes the win in multiple categories. Toyota makes three appearances on the 2017 list, more than any other brand, taking home the prizes for best subcompact car, best compact hybrid, and best midsized SUV. Let’s take a look at which Toyota vehicles were honored this year.
For best subcompact car, the winner this year was the Toyota Yaris iA. Although it’s a simple and affordable sedan, the 2017 Yaris iA still boasts an impressive driving experience, a smooth and reliable ride well beyond what you would expect from a car at this price. The Yaris iA also keeps up to date on the latest tech features, including an infotainment system and automatic emergency braking.
Winning the top prize for best compact hybrid of 2017 is, unsurprisingly, the Toyota Prius. Besides its famed fuel economy of 52 mpg, the 2017 edition of the Prius has also made improvements in reliability, handling, and safety features. Once again Toyota shows us exactly why the Prius is the world’s most popular hybrid vehicle.
The third and final Toyota to make the list is the 2017 Highlander, beating out the stiff competition for this year’s best midsized SUV. Toyota gives you everything you would expect from a great SUV, such as reliability and plenty of space for both passengers and storage, but also throws in a little extra. The engine comes upgraded with 25 more horsepower than last year’s model, and the vehicle comes standard with Toyota’s advanced Star Safety System.
You can find all three of these amazing vehicles at Peruzzi Toyota. Give them each a test drive and let us help you figure out which one would be the best for you! Whether it’s a subcompact, a hybrid, or an SUV, you can’t go wrong when you go with Toyota, especially if it’s a Toyota from Peruzzi. Stop by today!

Toyota Reveals 2018 Sienna Minivan
When Toyota released the 2017 Sienna last year, the most significant upgrades from the previous model came down to its engine and fuel efficiency. However, with the recently unveiled 2018 model, Toyota has decided to hone in on two key aspects of any minivan – safety and entertainment technology. A fuel-efficient vehicle is always nice, but when it comes to a minivan, keeping your family safe and entertained is a top priority.
Safety features should come before all else in a family-centric vehicle like the Toyota Sienna, and the 2018 model comes standard with the latest in safety technology. New to the 2018 Sienna are automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, and a lane-departure warning system. When unexpected obstacles come your way on the road, the 2018 Sienna will keep you as safe as it possibly can.
Any parent can tell you that if the kids aren’t occupied, every car trip becomes much longer than it needs to be. This is why Toyota included the Entune 3.0 multimedia interface and App Suite Connect with the 2018 Sienna. On the LE, SE, and XLE trim levels, Toyota included Entune 3.0 Audio Plus, which allows five devices to be connected at once through the vehicle’s LTE network. Most exciting of all, the Premium package features a rear-seat entertainment system which can stream video from Android devices.
Although Toyota hasn’t revealed an MSRP or sale date for the 2018 Sienna, we can expect it to hit Toyota showrooms and lots towards the end of this year. In the meantime, you can head down to Peruzzi Toyota and check out the highly acclaimed 2017 Sienna, which received an Editor’s Choice award from Car and Driver. We have plenty of 2017 Siennas in our new inventory, such as the Sienna LE for as low as $30,897, or the Sienna XLE Premium with all-wheel drive for $40,526. Stop by today and give one a spin!
