Taking A Look At The Current Range Of Toyotas
Founded in 1937, Toyota have been one of the largest makers of cars in the world
for many years and it was reported in several news outlets in January 2009 that Toyota had overtaken GM as the largest manufacturer of cars in the world (based on sales figures).
With such a prestigious title, Toyota needs to ensure that they have cars available to suit everyone in the market, which is something that they do particularly well.
For instance, if you're looking for a small car, then either the iQ or Aygo are both fantastic choices. Starting at GBP 9,995 for the iQ and a mere GBP 8,220 for the Aygo, both offer a maximum engine size of 1.4 litre and are particularly suitable for city driving.
For something a little bigger, the Yaris and Auris fit the bill perfectly, both of them being suitable for small families, whilst also being favourites with those looking for speed and power in a small car - the Auris in particular has the option of coming with a 2.4 litre engine, capable of a respectable 158 break horse power.
Heading up to the large family car size, Toyota offer the Verso, Avensis, Prius and Urban Cruiser, with the Prius being particular popular, largely because it is one of the most prominent hybrid cars, running on both petrol and electricity, in the world.
Finally, for those who need a vehicle bigger than a family car, there is the RAV4, Land Cruiser and LCV8, not to mention a variety of commercial vehicles. All popular Toyota's, the RAV4 has gained a lot of popularity since it was first manufactured in 1994, mainly due to the fact that according to Motor Week, it was the first compact crossover SUV to hit the market.
What's pleasing to know when you choose any of the new cars from Toyota dealers is that you can guarantee that you'll be getting a car with all of the latest automobile technology included.
Toyota have long been interested in electronics and technological advances and have included an array of different aspects in their vehicles where and when possible. This interest and involvement is shown not only in Toyota's plan to have an entire and extensive range of electric cars available in the coming years (production is said to start as early as this year, according to an article in The New York Times on 10 October 2008), but also their venturing into the robotics industry, where they have been hugely successful.
For example, Toyota produced a robot in 2004 that could effectively play the trumpet. Although the end result of trumpet playing was irrelevant, it was a huge step forward for Toyota - and the robotics industry in general - in helping the lives of people around the world become easier and more manageable with the assistance of robots.
Toyota is one of the largest and most well respected car manufacturers in the world. With cars ranging massively in price, style and size, you can be sure that Toyota dealers near to you will have a car perfectly suited to both your needs and price range.
