The 2017 Corolla and the 2017 Corolla iM are both excellent vehicles that offer good gas mileage, a reliable driving experience, and a range of safety features. Struggling to pick between the two? Or wondering what exactly the differences are? Here's a list of the differences and similarities between these two vehicles. 2017 Corolla The Corolla is a compact car that comes in seven models. The lowest MSRP is for the Corolla L at $18,500. The highest is for the XSE, with an MSRP starting at $22,680. All are available in one trim except for the Corolla SE, which has two variations (the 1.8L 4-Cylinder 6-Speed Manual and the 1.8L4-Cylinder CVT). With so many models, there's plenty of customization to consider. The Corolla iM only has one model and two trims, so there are fewer options. A 7-inch touch screen display and Standard Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P) come standard with all 2107 Corollas. TSS-P includes Toyota's Pre-Collision System, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Standard Automatic High Beams, and Standard Dynamic Cruise Control. The Pre-Collision System will adjust the speed of the car, applying the brakes automatically if necessary, to help drivers avoid collisions with obstacles. The Standard Dynamic Radar Cruise Control automatically maintains safe distances between cars, accelerating and decelerating as needed. The Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist will provide an audible and visual cue if the vehicle begins to drift from a lane, with the automated steering kicking in to re-center the car if the driver doesn't respond. The standard Corolla has an estimated gas mileage of 28 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway. 2017 Corolla iM The Corolla iM is available in one model with two trim options. It's a compact hatchback, so it offers some more space than the Corolla. Its two trim options are the 1.8L 4-Cylinder 6-Speed Manual and the 1.8L 4-Cylinder CVT. Here are a few of the features that they have in common: 137 horsepower. Normal and sport driving modes. Eight airbags. 7-in. touch-screen displays. 8 cubic feet of cargo volume (compared to 13 cubic feet of cargo volume in the Corolla). Toyota Safety Sense C (TSS-C). (Note that TSS-C technology is similar to the TSS-P package but is specifically designed for compact vehicles.) The MSRP for the 6-speed manual starts at $18,750, and the MSRP of the CVT trim starts at $19,490. The major difference, however, is the continuously variable transmission (which is an automatic transmission) available in the latter build. These are common in smaller cars and can improve a vehicle's fuel efficiency. The 6-speed manual has an estimated mileage of 27 in the city and 35 on the highway. The CVT gets 28 and 36, respectively. See for Yourself: Test Drive a Corolla or Corolla iM There's only one way to know which car is right for you: Go for a test drive! Some of these differences may seem minor, but they can make a major impact behind the wheel and affect your overall impression of the car. This is especially true with the 2017 Corolla, which has many models and trims to consider. Go for a test drive and see some Corollas at Ardmore Toyota today.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) gives awards for fourteen Toyota and Lexus vehicles, with twelve receiving the highest possible award, the TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+).

Qualifications for TSP+ include: A vehicle earning good ratings in five IIHS crash-worthiness tests: small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints An advanced or superior rating for front crash prevention An acceptable or good headlight rating Toyota’s premium midsize sedan, the Toyota Avalon, was recognized previously by the IIHS as a TOP SAFETY PICK winner, but now is considered a TSP+ winner. The promotion for the Avalon is due to an improvement made after March 2017 in the aim of the headlights on the vehicles. “At Toyota, we’re committed to developing safe and reliable vehicles,” said Jeff Makarewicz, Toyota’s North American Vehicle, Quality & Safety Engineering group vice president. “The Toyota Avalon’s latest achievement is a great example of how we continually evaluate new criteria and find ways to enhance our customers’ driving experience.” 2017 Toyota and Lexus TOP SAFETY PICK+ winners: Toyota Avalon (with specific headlights and built after March 2017) Toyota Prius (built after August 2016) Toyota Prius Prime Toyota Corolla Toyota Camry (with available front crash prevention and specific headlights) Toyota Prius v (with available front crash prevention and specific headlights) Toyota RAV4 (with specific headlights) Toyota Highlander Lexus RC (with available front crash prevention and specific headlights) Lexus ES 350 (with specific headlights) Lexus NX (with available front crash prevention and specific headlights) Lexus RX (with specific headlights) 2017 Toyota and Lexus TOP SAFETY PICK+ winners: Toyota Yaris iA Lexus CT 200h (with available front crash prevention) Image via Pixabay

The Toyota Tundra has come a long way since it first rolled off the production line in 2000. Features change every year, and the Tundra has continued to improve in terms of safety and functionality. So, what can you expect from a new 2018 Tundra? Here are the truck's most impressive features as well as some new and improved capabilities compared to the 2017 model. What the Tundra Offers The Toyota Tundra is a full-size, half-ton pickup. The 2017 edition comes in Double Cab, Regular Cab, and CrewMax styles, and the horsepower for these builds ranges from 310 to 381. The towing capacity ranges from 6,400 to 10,500 pounds. The new Tundras will come standard with a 5.7L V-8 engine (an estimated 381 horsepower). These trucks will also undergo some aesthetic and technological changes, including a redesigned grille and headlamps as well as a hood scoop. Finally, Toyota will introduce a new trim – the TRD Sport – when the 2018 Tundra is available later this year. New Capabilities and Improved Features The 2018 Tundra will include some changes to the body of the truck as well as additional safety and performance features. All builds of the new model will fall under the Toyota Safety Sense P package, so any model and trim you select will have the following safety features: Lane Departure Alert Auto High Beams Dynamic Radar Cruise Control Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection Upgraded sway bars Sport-tuned suspension From there, buyers can choose from the following trims: R/SR5 (which include black bezel halogen headlights) The TRD Sport trim (debuting with the 2018 Tundra) Limited, Platinum, and 1794 editions Note that the TRD Pro version will not be available on the new Tundra. Finally, based on what we know about previous Tundra models, the towing capacity for the new truck will likely exceed 10,500 pounds with a possible torque rating of between 327 and 500 pound-feet. The New Tundra TRD Sport Trim The new trim for this model will be available in 4X4 and 4X2 configurations. The Regular Cab build will no longer be available, but you can still pick up the new Tundra in either a Double Cab or CrewMax style. The TRD Sport trim will also include: Bilstein shocks TRD front and rear anti-sway bars Five new colors Price information will be announced later this year. As a frame of reference, the 2017 Tundra's MSRP starts at $30,210. Follow Updates for the 2018 Toyota Tundra The new Tundra is slated for release this fall. You can sign up for updates to stay informed about the vehicle's development and related news. You can also get an idea of what these trucks are like by test driving one of the 2017 models. This is a good way to get a feel for the vehicle, but remember that many of these features will change, affecting how the 2018 model handles. To schedule a test drive for a 2017 Tundra, contact or visit Ardmore Toyota — and remember to stop by when the new 2018 Toyota Tundra rolls out this fall in Ardmore, Pennsylvania.

Toyota Motor North America, Inc. (TMNA) is now calling Plano, Texas home after the opening of its new North American Headquarters earlier this month. The company announced its “One Toyota” initiative three years ago, stating that Toyota intended to create a more efficient operation in North America. The new corporate campus is on 100 acres with over seven buildings and costs about $1 billion to build. Toyota has moved thousands of employees and their families to North Texas from places like California and Kentucky, with hundreds moving to the area every week. “The opening of our new headquarters in Plano is an extraordinary next step in Toyota’s 60-year journey in the United States,” said Jim Lentz, CEO of Toyota in North America. “With team members from four different companies together in one campus location, we believe this will inspire great collaboration, innovation, and faster decision making as we turn to and lead the futures of mobility, all with an eye on our customers.” Along with the current employees who chose to relocate to Texas, the company stated that the new campus will also be hiring more than 1,000 new people to the team. The company is putting a focus on pulling from the North Texas market due to the mix of local talent. Toyota is also putting a heavy focus on the environment and striving for sustainability with its new office by: Creating an exterior landscape that reflects the native habitat Installing more than 20,000 solar panels Purchasing all electricity not generated by the solar panels by wind Putting in an irrigation rainwater harvesting system The ultimate goal for the campus is to achieve LEED Platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, as well as create an environment that is sustainable for the earth and the people who work there on a daily basis.

For some, a vehicle is good for simply getting from point A to point B. Here at Ardmore Toyota, we believe you should enjoy the driving experience as well. That's why we're excited about the technology upgrades Toyota has added to its vehicles. Here are four of the best features you might find in your next Toyota. Entune Sure, we all enjoy using our smartphones to make calls, listen to music, and get directions, but they're simply not safe to use while driving. Enter Entune. Through Bluetooth compatibility, you can access your phone's apps, navigate to your destination, and even talk to Siri® while never taking your eyes off the road. Three different Entune levels offer an array of audio features such as satellite radio, wireless music streaming services, and updates on fuel prices, sports scores, and stock prices. Entune is available on most new Toyota vehicles. Safety Sense Whether you're riding solo or hauling precious cargo in the form of your family, you want to arrive safely. Toyota recognizes that and is committed to keeping you and your family safe in all its vehicles. Its Safety Sense packages offer such technologies as Lane Departure Alert (LDA) and a Pre-Collision System (PCS) in Toyota compacts, and they add features like Vehicle and Pedestrian Detection and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) to midsize and larger vehicles. A combination of lasers, cameras, and millimeter-wave radar feed the car the information it needs to activate these systems. Connected Camrys The Toyota Camry has been a top seller for decades, and it continues to impress into the first quarter of the 21 st century. The 2017 Camry comes with available Safety Sense and Entune packages, which afford you safety features such as Lane Departure Alert and conveniences such as iHeartRadio, Pandora, MovieTickets.com, and OpenTable. Even though Camry is always looking ahead, it has you covered when it's time to look back. Each 2017 Camry comes standard with a rear back-up camera, which activates the moment you shift the car into reverse. New Camrys even come with optional wireless charging capabilities, meaning you'll never worry about a dead cell phone battery again. Tech-Savvy Tacomas Toyota's mid-size Tacoma pickup is ready for action and ready for fun, and it will keep you safe along the way. Regardless of which trim package you choose for your 2017 Tacoma, you will receive a rear back-up camera and some version of the Entune package. There is even a mount on the windshield for you to install your GoPro camera. Creature comforts abound in the 2017 Tacoma, including optional dual-zone climate control and wireless charging capability.

Our friendly staff will match you with the vehicle and technology you need to enjoy going places in your new Toyota. Image via Pixabay

When it comes to vehicles, it's not always easy to choose what model you want to buy. In some cases, two vehicle models may be very similar, while in others, the differences may be major. If you're considering the Yaris, you'll want to know the real differences between the Yaris and Yaris iA before making your choice. Cost Let's face it: When it comes to buying a new vehicle, cost is a major factor. Vehicles that are too far out of your budget just won't work, no matter how much you love them. Fortunately, in this case, both vehicles are affordable. The base model 2017 Yaris has a starting manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) of $15,250, while the base model iA starts at $15,950 MSRP. The Yaris has 5 models available (3-Door L, 3-Door LE, 5-Door L, 5-Door LE, and 5-Door SE). The most expensive, the 5-Door LE, starts at $17,285 MSRP for the 5-Door LE  and comes with 4-speed automatic transmission. The Yaris iA has only one model. The base model comes with a manual transmission and an MSRP of $15,950, but you can upgrade to a 6-speed automatic transmission for a little more ($17,050 MSRP). Fuel Efficiency When it comes to the Yaris and the Yaris iA, you may be especially curious about gas savings. The small size and high efficiency of this vehicle make either model a great choice. The Yaris gets approximately 30 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway, while the iA model gets slightly better fuel efficiency with 32 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway. If you're looking at fuel economy, the Yaris iA is a winner, especially for anyone driving a lot of highway miles. Design The Yaris model is designed as a hatchback, and as such, it offers slightly more cargo space (15.6 cubic feet, compared to the iA's 13.5 cubic feet). While both vehicles can accommodate up to five passengers, the iA with its sedan design offers more interior space (172-inch length, compared to the Yaris's 156-inch length). Each is equipped with a sporty-looking interior design and 60/40 split rear seats. Under the Hood The engine for the Yaris and the Yaris iA is the same. They both feature a 1.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine with 106 horsepower, so they perform similarly. Technology and Safety The Yaris and the Yaris iA are also equipped with similar technology and safety features. Both include the Toyota Entune audio system and have a touch-screen display (although the iA's is slightly larger at seven inches, compared to the Yari's 6.1 inches). Both have Bluetooth connectivity, but the iA model has USB ports and iPod connectivity as well. The iA also features a standard backup camera and remote keyless entry. Both have Toyota's Safety-Sense collision prevention system. A lot of details come into play when you're in the market for a new vehicle. When it comes to choosing between the 2017 Yaris and the 2017 Yaris iA, the decision comes down to several factors, including style preference, cost, and design features. However, with either choice, you'll be walking away a winter. Image by Zytonits is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0
