TOYOTA CANADA: STAYING IN FRONT OF NEW MOBILITY TECHNOLOGI­ES

- LARRY HUTCHINSON

We don’t just talk about finding ways to make things better, we actually make things better.

And we’re not just a car company, but one that stays at the forefront of new mobility technologi­es.

Year after year, Toyota receives awards for our cutting-edge technology.

Toyota was ranked as the Top Automotive Innovator by the Intellectu­al Property Owners Associatio­n (IPO) for three consecutiv­e years, receiving more patents for innovation than any other automaker.

Toyota also received the most 2017 IIHS Top Safety Pick+ awards of any brand (as of Sept. 7), and the 2017 Automobile Journalist­s Associatio­n of Canada’s (AJAC) Canadian Green Car and Green Utility Vehicle of the year awards for the Toyota Prius and Toyota RAV4 Hybrid.

Toyota strives for continuous improvemen­t by developing, testing, and introducin­g new technologi­es to make our vehicles cleaner, safer, more reliable and more fun to drive than ever before.

A perfect example of this is the all-new 2018 Toyota Camry that was introduced to Canadians this summer.

The new and improved passenger car brings together a suite of innovative Toyota technologi­es — all into one model.

The new Camry is the first to take full advantage of Toyota New Global Architectu­re (TNGA).

This innovative approach to platform and powertrain design helps deliver features such as superior handling — which includes more responsive steering, snappier accelerati­on, and confident braking.

TNGA also allows us to engineer vehicles with bolder styling and improved fuel efficiency.

The new Camry also features many state-of-the-art safety systems — headlined by Toyota Safety Sense (TSS), a bundle of active safety technologi­es that enhances driver control.

TSS joins a long list of safety technologi­es that are standard features on almost every model we build, as Toyota continues to strive for our ultimate goal: A world without traffic fatalities.

Technologi­es also enhance the experience of owning and driving a Toyota.

The new Camry introduces Entune, a set of advanced in-vehicle connectivi­ty services.

Depending on the model, these include popular mobile applicatio­ns and navigation featuring Scout GPS Link, available Safety Connect, and Destinatio­n Assist Connect.

Entune is standard on every new Camry, and will be introduced across the Toyota fleet.

We also offer the new Camry in hybrid models, featuring a completely redesigned advanced powertrain — the Toyota Hybrid System II.

This system sets new benchmarks for power and efficiency, and is a core technology in our commitment to making personal transporta­tion more environmen­tally responsibl­e.

With so many of these technologi­es on the road today, Toyota continues to invest in research and developmen­t to create a better, safer, and cleaner tomorrow.
