Toyota isn’t shying away from the spotlight. At the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show, the automaker debuted the first-ever RAV4 Prime and the next-generation 2021 Mirai along with the Camry AWD model. The goal is to provide consumers with more efficiency and versatility than ever before.
With the 2021 RAV4 Prime, Toyota continues to pave the way for hybrid vehicles all while establishing a new norm for fuel-efficiency that doesn’t limit the driver experience. The first RAV4 Prime is no exception, boasting surprising performance capabilities with 302-horsepower, making it the quickest as well as most powerful RAV4 ever. It also boasts an estimated 39 mile range on battery alone, more than any other PHEV SUV on the market.
The second-generation Mirai has significantly evolved from its debut back in 2015 as the first production hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicle (FCEV). The newly redesigned Mirai is dramatic and refined. The coupe-inspired design is based on a premium RWD platform. And with an upgraded FCEV powertrain and target of 30-percent increase in driving range, the new Mirai has enhanced performance without comprising.
In addition, the 2020 Corolla and 2020 Corolla Hybrid were named Green Car Journal’s 2020 Green Car of the Year. The Corolla is greater than ever before, offering 32 combined MPG for the gas model and an impressive 52 combined MPG for the first ever Corolla hybrid.
Toyota also brought its new Camry all-wheel drive (AWD) model for the first time since 1991. The Camry AWD is powered by a high-efficiency 2.5-liter DOHC four-cylinder engine teamed with an 8-speed Direct-Shift automatic transmission. The new AWD system also balances added traction with exemplary fuel efficiency, underscoring Toyota’s commitment to the sedan category.
In addition to its newest unveils, Toyota is bringing its a-list lineup to Los Angeles, including the fully redesigned 2020 Highlander that offers a new level of bold design and heightened safety features. The Highlander is available with a V6 engine or a new-generation hybrid powertrain.
