If you're looking for a vehicle with a luxurious interior, superb handling, and electrified power, you need to consider the 2024 Toyota Mirai. This car offers many standard safety and driver-assistance features, a spacious interior, and a more extended driving range than most electric options. The Mirai is in a class of its own, using hydrogen gas inside high-pressure tanks to generate enough power to run the electric motor. There's no need to plug it in at night or pull up to a gas tank on the road. Our Longo Toyota team invites you to explore this overview of the 2024 Mirai to determine if this vehicle is for you. What Are the Different Types of Electrified Vehicles? Toyota provides several ways to enjoy electrified vehicles, starting with the original Prius, which features a four-cylinder engine, electric motor, and battery as an electric hybrid. The RAV4 Prime offers a plug-in hybrid option that generates enough electric power for your daily commute but can also utilize hybrid power for longer trips. The next option is the bZ4X, which runs solely on a powertrain connected to an electrical grid that must be plugged in to charge. Finally, the Mirai features the fourth category of electrified vehicles from Toyota, which are powered by hydrogen gas. How Does the Mirai Use Hydrogen? While traditional gas-powered engines rely on petroleum and electric vehicles use electricity, a hydrogen-powered vehicle utilizes hydrogen and oxygen to ignite the spark and sustain it for your trip. The extraction of electrons from the hydrogen atoms converts the electrons to electricity to power your Mirai. This process produces only water vapor as an emission, which is a harmless byproduct. A hydrogen fuel cell is also smaller, lighter, and consumes fewer resources during production than the lithium-ion batteries used to power electric vehicles, making it an even better option for electrified travel. The Mirai gets 182 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque to keep you at the front of the pack on any road. You'll love the comfortable, near-silent ride offered by this hydrogen-powered sedan. What Is the 2024 Toyota Mirai's Driving Range? The 2024 Toyota Mirai offers an impressive manufacturer-estimated 402-mile driving range and refuels in about five minutes. This range is comparable to a traditional gas-powered vehicle, giving you plenty of time between refueling. While you can get upwards of 300 miles of driving range on electric options, they take a minimum of 45 minutes at a DC fast charging station or hours overnight on a Level 1 or 2 charger to restore their range. Electric charging stations are becoming more common across California, and the dedicated hydrogen-based fueling infrastructure is most prevalent in our fine state. This makes the possibility of enjoying the freedom of hydrogen-powered vehicles more attainable for California drivers. Standard Features You can purchase the 2024 Toyota Mirai in two trims: the XLE and Limited. Standard features of the XLE include dual-zone automatic climate control, a 14-speaker premium JBL sound system, and a 12.3-inch infotainment touch screen with navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. You also get keyless entry and start, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated front seats, and a Wi-Fi hotspot in the XLE. Moving up to the Limited trim adds tri-zone automatic climate control, heated and ventilated front seats, and power-adjustable front seats with driver memory functions. A digital rearview mirror, rear touch-screen control panel, panoramic glass roof, ambient lighting, and rear sunshades are also standard on the Limited. Both trims offer a luxurious interior designed with the comfort and convenience of passengers and drivers in mind, complete with copper-colored trim elements for an added sense of style. When it's time to put a new vehicle in your garage, the 2014 Toyota Mirai deserves serious consideration. Safety and Driver-Assistance Aids The 2024 Mirai features Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+, giving you peace of mind regarding arriving safely at your destination.  This system uses a combination of radar, sensors, and cameras to improve your overall safety awareness in the Mirai. Standard features include: Forward collision mitigation with pedestrian detection. Lane departure alert. Lane-keeping system. Adaptive cruise control. A blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert. You can also add a 360-degree camera system and parking sensors with the optional Advanced Technology package. The Limited trim adds an automated parking system, as well as the features of the Advanced Technology package, as standard driver's aids. Each Mirai also comes with an advanced air bag system to help further protect you and your passengers in the event of a collision. Complimentary Fuel Offer From Toyota Whether you're considering purchasing or leasing a 2024 Mirai, you can enjoy the complimentary fuel offer from Toyota. You can earn $15,000 in free hydrogen fuel for up to three years with a lease, while if you purchase the vehicle, you'll enjoy up to six years of complimentary fuel. This offer demonstrates Toyota's commitment to its vehicles and power source, giving you another reason to check out the 2024 Mirai. Backed by Toyota's Warranty and ToyotaCare Your 2024 Toyota Mirai features a three-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty on the vital fuel components, and a 10-year/150,000-mile warranty on the hybrid battery. ToyotaCare complimentary routine maintenance is also included for up to three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first in your Mirai. You can also enjoy the comfort of knowing you have 24-hour roadside assistance as part of your ToyotaCare plan.

Toyota plans to launch 10 new electric vehicles (EVs) by 2026. This is part of its plan to expand its range of zero-emissions vehicles and become a carbon-neutral automaker. The 2024 Toyota bZ3X is part of Toyota's Beyond Zero model lineup that's designed to minimize impact on the planet. Details around its engine, battery size, and driving range have yet to be officially confirmed by Toyota. However, in this article our team at Longo Toyota in El Monte, California, take a look at what you can reasonably expect from the bZ3X. Toyota's EV Coupe: What We Know So Far Toyota has yet to confirm a release date for the 2024 Toyota bZ3X. However, we expect the company to release it to the market before the end of 2023. As a carryover model, the bZ3X could have a similar design but a slightly smaller, lightweight build to the 2023 Toyota bZ4X that's currently on sale. The entry-level electric crossover could feature a coupe-like roof and muscular shoulders. We expect a hammerhead shark front styling with short overhangs, two-tone wheels, and contrasting exterior colors. We predict the bZ3X to feature four-part LED headlamps, C-shaped LED daytime running lights, and wrap-around taillights. It could also have plastic body cladding for a sporty and confident look. With a focus on keeping costs down, Toyota will probably have to sacrifice a bit of power and driving range for this model. Power and Performance Toyota has yet to release the specifics for the 2024 Toyota bZ3X engine specs. However, we expect impressive performance because of its sustainable all-electric powertrain. Based on the current bZ4X, we believe the bZ3X will have a single-motor front-wheel-drive (FWD) system. It could also have a dual-motor all-wheel-drive (AWD) system with multiple terrain modes. With instant torque delivered by the electric motor, you can look forward to rapid acceleration and a quiet ride. That being said, we don't expect the bZ3X to be much more powerful than the bZ4X. The current version delivers 201 horsepower and 196 lb-ft of torque with its FWD single motor. When equipped with AWD and dual motors, the bZ4X delivers 107 horsepower and 124 lb-ft of torque from each motor for a combined 214 horsepower and 248 lb-ft of torque. We assume that the bZ3X will be underpinned on the same electric-Toyota New Global Architecture platform as the larger bZ4X. If so, we can expect similar crisp handling and a comfortable ride. Electric Driving Range The 2024 Toyota bZ3X range depends on the size of the battery pack Toyota gifts it. We expect it to have a battery offering anything between 65 to 75 kWh. If this is the case, we expect the battery packs to deliver a combined system output of over 210 horsepower. It could last between 240 and 270 miles before needing a recharge. However, Toyota hasn't released the battery specs yet. We'll update this page with the latest information when it's available. Charging Time The bZ4X charges to 80% in around 30 minutes with a 150 kW DC fast charger for the FWD model and a 100 kW DC fast charger for the AWD model. We don't expect the bZ3X to have a much larger battery than this, so it should recharge in around the same time. 2024 Toyota bZ3X Zero-To-60-Mph Time The bZ4X accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds. The 2024 Toyota bZ3X could offer even more rapid acceleration because of its presumably lighter build. With a single electric motor, you could expect the 2024 Toyota bz3X to go from zero to 60 mph in less than seven seconds. If equipped with the higher output dual-motor, it could do it in as little as six seconds. Interior Comfort and Features Toyota has a reputation for comfort and ride quality, and we expect this model to be no different. Based on the bZ4X, we expect the bZ3X to have a minimalist look but a spacious and roomy interior for front and rear passengers. It could feature sustainable upholstery and trims, ergonomic and comfy seats, and multiple storage pockets and cubbies. We expect adjustable seating and Toyota's advanced noise-canceling technology to maintain the dependable comfort it's known for. While the base bZ4X has a 7-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch touch screen, we're hoping for dual 12.3-inch digital displays in the bZ3X. This includes an advanced digital instrument cluster and touch-screen infotainment system with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Other expected features include dual-zone climate control, wireless charging, and a panoramic sunroof. The bZ4X base also comes standard with six speakers, a wireless charging pad, and satellite radio. It boasts four USB-C ports, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and navigation. Available features include a nine-speaker JBL audio system and a digital key. Safety Features We anticipate the bZ3X will come with many of the same safety features as the bZ4X. This includes advanced driver-assistance systems for enhanced safety. The bZ4X currently comes with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, which includes automatic high beams, a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane departure warnings, dynamic radar cruise control, road sign assistance, and lane tracing assistance. For peace of mind while driving your EV, we expect the 2024 Toyota bZ3X to have more information on the instrument cluster, including details about the vehicle charging status and driving range. Expected Price Positioned below the bZ4X in Toyota's range of SUVs, we can reasonably assume the 2024 Toyota bZ3X will cost less than the bZ4X. However, we expect it to offer much better value. The bZ4X has a starting MSRP of $42,000, so we can expect the bZ3X to have a starting MSRP of around $38,000 to $40,000. Take the 2024 Toyota bZ3X for a Test Drive The 2024 Toyota bZ3X is set to offer a great-value entry-level alternative to the larger existing bZ4X. While we don't think it'll have more powerful engines or batteries than the existing model, we do expect many of the same incredible features. Not to mention a more affordable price point. Are you tempted to experience the difference between the bZ3X and the bZ4X for yourself? Visit Longo Toyota in El Monte, California, to take the 2024 Toyota bZ3X for a test drive when they hit the lots.

Off-Road Capabilities The 2024 Toyota RAV4 is ideal for off-roading if you choose the Adventure or TRD Off-Road trims. The Adventure lives up to its name by adding features that help you tackle rough terrain with ease. It has Toyota's torque-vectoring all-wheel drive system with a rear axle that disconnects and a Multi-Terrain Select system with drive modes to make the most of your off-the-beaten-path escapades. In addition to the Mud and Sand, Rock and Dirt, Snow, and Normal drive modes, the Adventure also has hill-descent control, which helps to make easy work of descents with loose surfaces and gravel. It maintains a constant speed, so your wheels always have maximum contact with the ground. The Toyota RAV4 TRD Off-Road has even more off-road capabilities and will give its rivals a run for their money. It builds on the Adventure's ruggedness by adding Falken all-terrain tires. It has Toyota's TRD-tuned suspension and adds shocks, struts, and jounce bumpers designed to handle off-road terrain. Power and Performance Power for all the RAV4 models comes from a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gas engine that puts out 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. It works with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard with all trims except the Adventure and TRD Off-Road, which come with all-wheel drive. These two off-road models also increase towing power from 1,500 to 3,500 pounds. Interior Comfort The RAV4 has all the comforts of home, no matter what trim you choose. The two rows of seats have comfortable seating for up to five people, and there's plenty of storage space for when you want to pack up for a weekend of off-roading adventures. Behind the rear seats, you'll get 37.5 cubic feet of storage space, and if you fold down the rear seats, it opens up to over 69 cubic feet. The low cargo floor makes it easy to load up the back, and the cabin has many bins and shelves to store all your road trip gear. The entry-level RAV4 has manually adjustable front seats and a 60/40 split folding rear seat. Cloth upholstery comes standard. You'll get a power-adjustable driver's seat in the XLE, and the optional Weather Package adds heated front seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The XLE Premium builds on this with synthetic leather upholstery and a leather-trimmed steering wheel. There's also a Weather Package for the XLE Premium that adds memory for the driver's seat, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. The TRD Off-Road has cabin amenities to keep you comfortable during your ventures, and the SofTex upholstery is easy to clean. The red accents in the cabin make it stand out, and it has TRD all-weather floor mats. Technology Features You'll be ready for anything in the RAV4 with tech features to keep you connected and entertained. The lower-end models have an 8-inch touch screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Toyota's Connected Services open access to more tech features, including: Navigation. Vehicle locator. Remote start. Wi-Fi hotspot. Service reminders. Starting with the TRD Off-Road, there's a larger 10.5-inch touch screen in the dashboard's center. It also has a wireless charging pad and an available 11-speaker JBL stereo system. The luxury-packed Limited trim also gets the 10.5-inch touch screen and adds a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel. Safety Systems As drivers expect in a new Toyota, the RAV4 has a full suite of active driver safety aids. No matter which trim you choose, it will have the Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 group of features. It includes: Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. Forward collision warning with automatic braking. Pedestrian detection. Traffic sign recognition. Lane-keep assist. Lane departure warning. Automatic high-beam headlights. Other standard safety equipment you'll get with the 2024 RAV4 includes a full suite of air bags, a tire pressure monitor, a rearview monitor, and hill-start assist. The latter feature prevents the SUV from rolling backward if you need to stop on a steep hill. The XLE trim and above add to all this with a blind-spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alert, and the XLE Premium includes front and rear parking assist. Are You Ready To Go Off-Roading in the 2024 Toyota RAV4?

The Toyota Land Cruiser is back — and it's better than ever. The powerhouse SUV makes its triumphant return in 2024, ending its three-year hiatus on the market. In those three years, Toyota has revamped the Land Cruiser, equipping it with new hybrid power while ensuring it's just as off-road ready as you remember. Explore this one-stop guide to discover everything you need to know about the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser, including its cost, convenience, and capabilities. Why Did Toyota Stop Making/Discontinue the Land Cruiser? Toyota discontinued production of the Land Cruiser in 2021, stating the SUV would not return for the 2022 model year. Even at the time, there were hints that Toyota planned to bring back the beloved off-roader in the future. Sales spiked significantly after the automaker's announcement, and sources told multiple outlets that there could be a return of the Land Cruiser in a few years. Sure enough, Toyota revealed in July that it would return the Land Cruiser to its lineup in 2024, proving yet again that you can't keep a good thing down for long. "With 65 years of heritage, you can choose to slow down or reinvent yourself. We chose the latter," Toyota said in a news release at the time. Over the last few years, it's clear Toyota has carefully considered how to keep the Land Cruiser true to its off-roading roots while also making the SUV accessible to everyone, whether you prefer to hit the road or the trails. 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Cost and Trims Toyota hasn't released official details about pricing for the 2024 Land Cruiser, but the automaker has said it will have a starting MSRP in the mid-$50,000 range. That's lower than the last time the SUV was on the market, which is largely due to its smaller frame. The new Land Cruiser will strictly be a two-row vehicle with seating for five passengers. While smaller, the 2024 Land Cruiser isn't any less capable on rugged terrain than previous models. With its narrower body and hybrid power, the all-new Land Cruiser is ready to kick up some dirt. With a simple grade structure, the 2024 Land Cruiser will come in two trims: the Land Cruiser 1958 and Land Cruiser. In addition, Toyota will release a limited number of Land Cruisers in a First Edition trim for the first two months of production. The Land Cruiser First Edition models will feature a striking two-tone exterior and come with additional off-road equipment such as a roof rack, a front skid plate, and rock rails. 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Performance and Capability New-generation Land Cruisers will get a hybrid powertrain across the lineup for increased efficiency. A turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine pairs with two electric motors, generating a total output of 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. Every Land Cruiser will also have an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard four-wheel drive. The system sends power continuously to the front and rear axles for enhanced traction on challenging roads. A center-locking differential provides additional off-roading capabilities with the touch of a button. The all-new Land Cruiser effortlessly blends form and function, using a body-on-frame platform and a high-strength steel chassis. The available Multi-Terrain Select system allows you to adjust the settings depending on whether you're driving over mud, dirt, or sand. A standard Crawl Control function controls braking and acceleration when you're driving at lower speeds on difficult terrain, meaning you can focus on steering. Plus, a Multi-Terrain Monitor gives you additional confidence by showing you potential obstacles on the trail through the SUV's touch-screen display. The new Land Cruiser is built for all the roads — or non-roads — you might encounter. 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Design True to its roots, the all-new Land Cruiser will make its signature statement on the Southern California roadways. The 1958 trim features a classic, simplified style, with retro LED headlights and a bold heritage front grille. It has the same squared body profile as previous Land Cruiser generations. The Land Cruiser trim features rectangular LED headlights and color-selectable LED fog lights. Every Land Cruiser rides on 18-inch wheels with all-season tires, meaning you're ready for any adventure. Inside, the 2024 Land Cruiser spares no expense when it comes to your comfort and convenience. The Land Cruiser 1958 comes with black fabric seats, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. By upgrading to the Land Cruiser trim, you'll get synthetic leather seats, plus heated and ventilated front seats for ultimate luxury. The limited Land Cruiser First Edition models come exclusively with leather-trimmed seats and a unique "First Edition" logo on the door panels. 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Technology and Driver Assistance As part of its revamp, the 2024 Land Cruiser will come with the latest state-of-the-art technology and driver-assistance features. An 8-inch touch screen comes standard in the Land Cruiser 1958, while the other two trims get a larger 12.3-inch screen. All Land Cruisers get Toyota's multimedia system, featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Dual front-row USB charging ports and a wireless charging pad also come standard, so you don't have to worry about your phone dying when you're off the grid. Plus, the Land Cruiser offers available Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity for up to five devices. Whether you're running errands in El Monte, California, or heading out on a backcountry adventure, you're sure to feel safe and secure behind the wheel of a 2024 Land Cruiser. The SUV comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, a suite of advanced safety and driver-assistance features. They include: Pre-collision system with pedestrian detection. Lane departure alert with steering assist. Dynamic radar cruise control. Lane tracing assist. Road sign assist. Automatic high-beam headlights. The new Toyota Safety Sense system also includes proactive driving assist.

So, if you're looking for a reliable and safe sedan while still staying within a budget, this car should be at the top of your list. Power and Performance With the 2024 Toyota Camry, there are three powertrain options. The standard configuration uses a four-cylinder engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission to deliver a snappy and smooth driving experience. With this setup, you can expect to get around 202 horsepower. If you want a bit more power, you can upgrade to a V-6 engine that delivers 301 horsepower on the XLE, XSE, and TRD trim levels. Then, there's the hybrid powertrain. The 2024 Toyota Camry Hybrid setup uses a gas engine and an electric motor to deliver 176 horsepower and 163 lb-ft of torque. This is less powerful than the base engine but provides much better fuel efficiency. Toyota has ensured you'll experience a dependable drive, whichever powertrain option you choose. It fine-tuned the dynamics to provide a more controlled ride and responsive handling. The brake pads are also highly responsive, even for the hybrid models, allowing you to stop quickly when needed. Although it may not win any races, the 2024 Toyota Camry offers exceptional all-around performance at an unbeatable price. Fuel Efficiency Regarding fuel efficiency, each version of the 2024 Toyota Camry uses its fuel very well. The most efficient versions of the 2024 Toyota Camry are the SE and LE models, which use the base engine. These models deliver around 28 mpg in the city and 39 mpg on the highway. The hybrid models, as you'd expect, perform even better. The base LE hybrid gets around 51 mpg in the city and 53 mpg on the highway. With fuel efficiency ratings like these, you'll save money on gas over the life of your Camry, making it an even more budget-friendly choice. Cabin Comfort Moving inside, the 2024 Toyota Camry offers a spacious and functional cabin. The comfortable materials will help you enjoy your drives, while the design of the center console adds a bit of style to the interior. Passengers will also appreciate their time inside your car, as it offers ample space for even taller passengers in the rear seats. The 2024 Toyota Camry has plenty of cargo space in the large trunk, which you can expand further by folding down the rear seats. You'll want to upgrade to at least the SE trim to get the most luxurious cabin experience in the Toyota Camry. With it, you'll get a cabin full of premium materials, more than you'd likely expect from a sedan at this price. Entertainment Technology Adding to the already excellent interior is the stellar entertainment technology. Each version of the 2024 Toyota Camry comes with Toyota's touch-screen infotainment system, known as Entune 3.0. This infotainment screen makes it easy to play your favorite music, audiobooks, or podcasts and control various other vehicle settings. You can also increase its functionality through the standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integrations. Many features are available through the infotainment system, so we highly recommend you test it out in person to see all it offers. Safety Features Finally, there are the safety features. One of the best things about Toyota is that it makes its driver-assistance technologies available on each Camry model, regardless of the trim level. So you don't have to spend more to get a safer vehicle. Some of the standard safety features available on all 2024 Camrys include: Adaptive cruise control. Lane departure warning. Lane-keep assist. Forward collision warning. Automatic emergency braking. With all these features and more, you can feel secure whenever you get behind the wheel, knowing you have the latest technology to keep you and your passengers safe. The 2023 Toyota Camry earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's Top Safety Pick+ award, which recognizes the safest vehicles within specific size categories.
