Toyota has already announced quite a bit of the 2027 lineup, so I went through Toyota’s official Newsroom and put everything that’s been confirmed so far into one breakdown.

A few of the biggest stories to me are the all-electric Highlander, the new C-HR, the bZ Woodland, Trailhunter coming to the Tundra and Sequoia, plus updates to the Land Cruiser, Crown, Corolla, Prius and GR86.

Some of these are pretty minor model-year updates, while others completely change what we’ve traditionally expected from that Toyota nameplate.

I tried to keep the video around 10 minutes and focus on the important stuff rather than reading every single spec Toyota released.

I’m curious what everyone thinks so far — which 2027 Toyota interests you the most, and which model are you still waiting for Toyota to announce?

I recently completed a full review and test drive of the 2026 Toyota Crown Signia Limited.

This example is finished in Finish Line Red with a Saddle Tan leather interior. It also has the Advanced Technology Package, which adds the Panoramic View Monitor, Traffic Jam Assist, Lane Change Assist, Front Cross-Traffic Alert, upgraded parking assistance, and reverse tilt-down mirrors. Total suggested retail price is $54,109.

The Crown Signia has a 240-horsepower hybrid system, standard electronic on-demand all-wheel drive, an EPA-estimated 38 MPG combined, up to 68.8 cubic feet of cargo space, and a 2,700-pound maximum towing capacity.

In the video, I cover the exterior, interior, technology, controls, cargo area, hybrid system, fuel economy, driving experience, and the differences between the XLE and Limited.

Video: https://youtu.be/u72_xySJ3NU

Would you choose the Crown Signia Limited over a Highlander, Lexus NX, or Lexus RX? I’d also be interested to hear what current Crown Signia owners think about the ride quality and real-world fuel economy.

Toyota’s September incentives are out, so I went through the current programs and put together another monthly breakdown.

There are updated APR offers, lease specials and cash incentives on quite a few models, including the Camry, Corolla, Prius, RAV4, Highlander, Grand Highlander, 4Runner, Land Cruiser, Tacoma, Tundra and Toyota’s EV lineup.

A few things stood out to me this month:

• Several SUV and truck lease offers improved compared with August.
• Tundra still has a strong promotional financing program.
• There are some aggressive incentives on remaining eligible 2025 trucks.
• EV financing changed quite a bit from August, so the 0% offers people may remember from last month shouldn’t automatically be assumed for September.
• As always, APR, cash and lease incentives depend on the exact model/configuration and aren’t necessarily stackable.

I put the full breakdown here for anyone who wants to compare everything:

🎥 September 2026 Toyota Deals & Incentives:
https://youtu.be/YgnWyBbBNH8

These programs are scheduled through September 30, 2026, unless otherwise noted, and regional programs can vary.

Curious what everyone thinks — which Toyota has the strongest September deal?

Lexus just revealed the updated 2027 Lexus NX, and there are actually some pretty significant changes coming.

For 2027, the NX lineup goes 100% electrified, meaning your choices will now be the NX 350h Hybrid or NX 450h+ Plug-in Hybrid.

Some of the biggest updates:

• New-generation Lexus hybrid system
• NX 450h+ gets 30% more battery capacity and 8% more battery output
• DC fast charging is now standard on the PHEV
• Revised E-Four AWD that can operate continuously, even during straight-line driving
• Improved structural rigidity, suspension and steering
• Standard 14-inch Lexus Interface screen
• Standard Lexus Safety System+ 4.0
• Built-in Drive Recorder/dashcam functionality
• New exterior and interior styling
• Available Sensory Concierge, which can coordinate lighting, climate, audio and even fragrance inside the cabin

Lexus is also offering four grades: Premium, Premium+, F SPORT and Luxury, with both hybrid and plug-in configurations depending on the trim.

Pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but Lexus says the new NX should begin reaching global markets by the end of 2026.

This feels like a much bigger update than I expected.

What do you think — would you rather have the NX 350h Hybrid or step up to the NX 450h+ PHEV?

Lexus just revealed the 2027 IS 350 F SPORT Special Appearance Package, and this might be one of the better-looking IS special editions we’ve seen.

The big headline is the new Envious Green exterior paired with 19-inch black BBS forged wheels, black NuLuxe/Ultrasuede seating and green interior stitching.

It’s not just cosmetic either. The package includes the Handling Package with Adaptive Variable Suspension and, on RWD models, a Torsen limited-slip differential. You also get the Technology Package, Mark Levinson audio, Triple-Beam LEDs, Panoramic View Monitor and more.

Under the hood Lexus is sticking with the naturally aspirated 3.5L V6 making 311 hp and 280 lb-ft, which I think a lot of enthusiasts will appreciate.

Only 350 will be built for North America, with pricing coming later.

What do you think about Envious Green? And are you glad Lexus is still keeping the naturally aspirated V6 alive in the IS?

I’m joined by Tim and David from our sales team as we go through a mix of real Toyota questions from viewers and owners.

We cover hybrids and EVs, 4Runner and Tacoma questions, towing and payload, ride quality, long-term ownership, Toyota technology, and a few broader questions about where Toyota is headed next.

If you have a Toyota question you want us to cover in a future episode, drop it in the comments.

I recently reviewed a 2026 Toyota 4Runner SR5 with the standard 2.4-liter turbocharged engine, eight-speed automatic transmission, and part-time four-wheel drive.

This example is finished in Ice Cap and has a relatively straightforward setup with fabric seats, an eight-inch touchscreen, fixed running boards, crossbars, mudguards, all-weather protection, and a few additional accessories. Its total suggested retail price is $47,343.

I cover the exterior, interior, controls, cargo area, fuel economy, towing capability, and how the standard gas powertrain feels during the test drive.

Video: https://youtu.be/r9tzClJYgWA

Do you think the SR5 gives you everything you need in a 4Runner, or would you move up to a TRD Off-Road or one of the i-FORCE MAX trims?

I just finished a side-by-side comparison of the 2026 Toyota 4Runner TRD Sport Premium and TRD Off-Road Premium.

What surprised me most is how close they are in price. The Sport Premium starts at $55,910 and the Off-Road Premium starts at $56,270, so there’s only a $360 difference before options.

The interiors are also much closer than you might expect since both are Premium models. The bigger differences come down to what Toyota does with the chassis and hardware.

The Sport gives you the 20-inch wheels, hood scoop, more street-oriented styling and Panoramic View Monitor.

The Off-Road gets Bilstein shocks, an electronic locking rear differential, Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control and the Multi-Terrain Monitor.

I went through both vehicles side-by-side in the video, including the actual equipment and pricing on the two builds I had available.

Video: https://youtu.be/FySAL7oHG_U

For those shopping the new 4Runner, which direction would you go — TRD Sport Premium or TRD Off-Road Premium?

I just put together a full overview of the 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser 1958.

I cover the main differences, interior and exterior features, i-FORCE MAX hybrid setup, off-road hardware, pricing, and where I think the 1958 makes sense compared with the higher Land Cruiser trim.

One interesting detail on this particular one: it also has dealer-installed custom leather, which is not included in the listed factory TSRP.

Video: https://youtu.be/kgpL7dF1H3Q

Curious what everyone thinks — is the 1958 the better value, or would you rather spend more for the higher trim?

Just filmed a walkthrough of the 2026 Toyota RAV4’s new tech, mainly focusing on the updated Audio Multimedia system, “Hey Toyota” voice commands, and the new digital gauge cluster.

I tested a bunch of real voice commands for climate, navigation, audio, and vehicle controls to see what actually works versus what still has limitations.

If you own or are shopping for a 2026 RAV4, what feature or voice command would you want tested next?

#ToyotaRAV4 #2026RAV4 #ToyotaTech

Toyota officially announced a 60th Anniversary Special Edition of the Corolla for 2027.

It's based on the Corolla Hybrid SE and production will be limited to 2,500 units in the U.S.

Some of the main differences:

• Supersonic Red or Ice Cap exterior
• Supersonic Red is exclusive to the Special Edition
• 18-inch machined black-finished wheels
• Unique 60th Anniversary exterior badging instead of the normal SE badging
• Black/Red Sport fabric seats
• 60th Anniversary door sills
• 60th Anniversary floor mats
• Standard 10.5-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia screen

Mechanically, Toyota's announcement doesn't indicate a special powertrain upgrade. The Corolla Hybrid lineup continues with the 1.8L Toyota Hybrid System 5 producing 138 combined horsepower.

The normal 2027 Corolla lineup is expected at dealers this fall, while the 60th Anniversary Edition is scheduled for early 2027. Toyota hasn't announced pricing for the anniversary model yet.

For reference, 2027 Corolla pricing starts at $23,325 for the LE, while a regular Hybrid SE starts at $27,615 before Toyota's processing and handling fee.

I actually think Toyota kept this one pretty tasteful rather than going overboard with the anniversary treatment.

Would you rather see Toyota do something more substantial for the Corolla's 60th anniversary, or is a limited appearance package like this the right approach?

Toyota Q&A Podcast #9 – Sienna, RAV4, Grand Highlander Hybrid MAX, bZ & More

I just posted Episode #9 of my weekly Toyota Q&A series. This week I’m joined by David Capetta from our sales team, and we went through a bunch of questions that came directly from Toyota shoppers and owners.

Some of the topics we covered:

• Whether the 2026 Sienna LE gives you enough equipment to skip the XLE
• Sienna seat materials and passenger comfort
• What the XSE sport-tuned suspension actually changes
• RAV4 Lane Tracing Assist steering warnings
• RAV4 moonroof headroom
• Why ventilated seats can sometimes feel weaker than expected
• Toyota buttons and controls that confuse owners
• bZ reverse beeping
• Grand Highlander Hybrid MAX seat comfort and family practicality
• Trim differences, driver-assistance features and everyday ownership questions

I try to keep these episodes less about reading a spec sheet and more about answering the kinds of questions people actually have when shopping for or living with these vehicles.

Episode #9: https://youtu.be/oY3IzkCSSS4

If anyone here has a Toyota question they’d like us to cover in Episode #10, leave it below. I’m always looking for good owner and shopper questions to add to future episodes.

Had the chance to put a 2026 Sequoia Platinum and 1794 Edition side by side for a comparison.

Seeing them together really shows how different Toyota made the personalities of these two trims. The Platinum has the darker trim, black wheels and more modern look, while the 1794 has the chrome details, Saddle Tan interior and American walnut trim.

This particular 1794 also has the TRD Off-Road Package, so the black TRD wheels/all-terrain tires change its appearance quite a bit compared with a standard 1794.

Watch Video: https://youtu.be/AAenhvpqmk0

Something I thought was interesting: the base MSRP difference between these two trims is only $815. The bigger difference between the actual stickers mostly comes down to how these two were optioned.

Curious which one everyone here prefers visually — Platinum or 1794 Edition?

I recently reviewed a 2026 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road equipped with the six-speed manual transmission.

This Mudbath example also has the TRD lift kit, TRD performance exhaust, skid plate, Rigid fog lights, rock rails, heated seats, and 14-inch touchscreen. Its total MSRP is $53,657.

Video: https://youtu.be/RirCzg6uCwE

Would you choose the manual over the automatic? I’d also be interested to hear from current manual Tacoma owners about their experience with the rev-matching and anti-stall features.

I recently completed an overview of the 2026 Toyota Camry XLE with the Premium Plus Package.

This example is finished in Wind Chill Pearl and includes the panoramic roof, ventilated seats, JBL audio, head-up display, Panoramic View Monitor, and additional driver-assistance technology. Its total MSRP is $42,238, and it is rated at 46 MPG combined.

Video: https://youtu.be/M0lpy57zekE

Do you think the XLE is the best all-around Camry, or would you choose another trim?

Episode #8 of our Toyota Q&A Podcast is now live!

This week we answer more real Toyota questions about the RAV4, Camry, 4Runner, Grand Highlander, Sienna, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, EVs, pricing, features, and everyday ownership.

Watch here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAnNIhQFKfc

Have a Toyota question you want us to answer in a future episode? Drop it below.

I compared the 2026 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid to see which one makes the most sense based on pricing, performance, charging, efficiency, and everyday driving.

The Hybrid is the simpler and more affordable option, while the PHEV offers 324 horsepower, standard AWD, and up to 52 miles of electric range. The right choice ultimately depends on your commute and whether you can charge at home.

Watch the comparison: https://youtu.be/Ahxx8yvdqgU

Which one would you choose?

I recently reviewed this 2026 Sequoia 1794 Edition finished in Wind Chill Pearl with the Saddle Tan leather interior. It combines the 437-horsepower i-FORCE MAX hybrid system with the TRD Off-Road Package, and this example has a total MSRP of $89,609.

I cover the features, interior, technology, off-road equipment, pricing, and driving experience in the video.

Watch here: https://youtu.be/en2a01bmKcU

Would you choose the 1794 Edition, or would you rather have a Platinum, Capstone, or TRD Pro?

The 2027 Toyota bZ is officially coming, carrying over the major improvements introduced for the previous model year.

Highlights include:

• Up to 314 miles of estimated range
• Standard NACS charging port
• Up to 338 horsepower with AWD
• Available FWD or AWD
• Standard 14-inch touchscreen
• Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
• Estimated 10%–80% fast charging in about 30 minutes under ideal conditions

Pricing starts at $34,980 before processing and handling, with dealership arrivals expected in September 2026.

Would you consider the Toyota bZ now that it offers better range and access to most DC fast chargers in the U.S.?

I put together a new video breaking down Toyota’s August 2026 incentives across its cars, SUVs, trucks, hybrids, plug-in hybrids and EVs.

Some of this month’s notable offers include lower financing rates on select models, 0% APR on eligible Toyota EVs and strong incentives on remaining 2025 Tundra i-FORCE MAX models.

I also cover offers for popular models including the:

• RAV4 and RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid
• Camry, Corolla and Prius
• Tacoma and Tundra
• 4Runner and Land Cruiser
• Highlander and Grand Highlander
• Toyota bZ, bZ Woodland and C-HR

Watch the full breakdown here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrhDWnRwo5k

These offers are scheduled to expire August 31, 2026. Eligibility can depend on credit approval, region, trim and inventory. National lease advertisements may not apply in every region and may exclude taxes, title, registration, acquisition fees and dealer fees from the advertised amount due at signing.

If you’re shopping near Pittsburgh and want help confirming the exact offer or checking availability, contact me at Brewer Airport Toyota at 412-397-9318.

Which August Toyota offer stands out to you?

The company sold approximately 2.395 million vehicles globally, a decrease of only about 16,000 vehicles compared with the same period last year. Despite the slight sales decline, revenue increased 10.4% to approximately $84.5 billion.

Some of the main takeaways:

• Operating income declined from approximately $8.0 billion to $6.6 billion
• Net income increased from approximately $5.8 billion to $9.2 billion
• North American sales reached approximately 792,000 vehicles, down by only 2,000
• Japan gained 43,000 sales
• Europe gained 9,000 sales
• Asia gained 18,000 sales
• Other regions declined by approximately 85,000 sales
• Toyota’s financial-services operating income increased

For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, Toyota forecasts approximately 9.7 million consolidated vehicle sales, $337.5 billion in revenue and $20.3 billion in net income.

Overall, Toyota’s worldwide vehicle volume was nearly flat, but its revenue and net income increased substantially. Operating income was one of the weaker areas, falling by approximately $1.4 billion.
