This gives you the ability to choose the right car for you at the price you can afford. And no automaker has a reputation for affordable, dependable, and enjoyable cars like Toyota.
Since 1958, Toyota has been selling its vehicles here in the States, allowing drivers like you to get a car that you can rely on, building its reputation on safety, fuel efficiency, and affordability. At Romeoville Toyota, we will help you find the right Toyota for you, whether you are looking to commute from Joliet to Chicago, need a truck for your work, or are looking to drive your kids around town. That’s because no other car is like a Toyota, and no other dealership in Joliet can compare to us.
Toyota began selling its cars here in America in 1957, but its history goes back further than that. Toyota was founded in 1935 in Japan, releasing its first car, the Model AA passenger car, in 1936. After building its reputation for quality and dependability in post World War II Japan, Toyota set out to develop markets overseas, seeing a need for affordable, reliable, and fuel-efficient cars in the United States.
While the Big Three automotive companies (GM, Ford, and Chrysler) were focusing on bigger gas guzzlers, Toyota began to focus on building cars that provided better gas mileage and spent less time in the repair shop than those of its competitors. This put Toyota in a prime position when the oil crisis hit in the early '70s, as its cars were better at handling the spiraling gas prices and shortages since they were so much more fuel-efficient than anything else available to American drivers. By 1975, Toyota knocked Volkswagen out of its position as the top import brand in the United States, and by 1978, it was selling more cars, trucks, and total vehicles than any other import brand.
One of the key strategies of Toyota is to keep innovating. This is one company that is not content to rest even after it has achieved the number one spot in its vehicle category; the leaders at Toyota know that their competitors are constantly working to make their vehicles better. One way to do this was to begin making cars here in the United States, opening its first plant here in 1982. By 2011, Toyota would be operating a total of 11 plants throughout North America.
Another way that Toyota showed its commitment to innovation was the development of the Prius, the first commercially successful hybrid car. Toyota also began work on hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, electric vehicles, and a new “hybrid synergy drive” to improve the performance of the Prius. This development of alternative fuel vehicles has both reduced fuel consumption in the United States while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.
This constant development and innovation has paid off, with Toyota maintaining its place among the most reliable and dependable vehicle brands. For example, Kelley Blue Book named Toyota as the brand with the best resale value in 2019, acknowledging the fact that Toyota cars, trucks, and SUVs hold their value better than those of its competitors. Toyota also leveraged its reputation by launching two other brands, the luxury Lexus brand in 1989 and the cutting edge Scion in 2003, increasing the market for its cars.
Toyota has built some of the most iconic cars, trucks, and SUVs in recent memory, some of which have gone on to become household names in the automotive industry. This didn’t come easy and reflects the hard work that the folks at Toyota put in building the brand to where it is today.
This legacy started with the Corolla, the compact car that took the American market by storm following its introduction in 1968. The Toyota Corolla built a reputation for dependability and great fuel economy in a sporty little sedan. The Corolla established itself as one of the most successful models in Toyota’s history, becoming the best-selling passenger car in the world in 1997. Today, the Corolla is in its twelfth generation, marking it as one of the most successful models in automobile history. You can choose from a four-door sedan, a hatchback with added trunk space, a hybrid for incredible gas mileage, and the GR Corolla, turbocharged hatchback built for exceptional performance.
If you prefer a larger sedan, the Toyota Camry is a great choice for those who love affordable luxury. This is because the Camry combines a roomy interior with solid performance in a model that is also economical. This is one reason why Camry was named the best midsize car for 2020 by U.S. News & World Report. Camry also demonstrates Toyota’s commitment to passenger safety, receiving a 5-star safety rating from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) while being named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). No matter which Camry you choose, you will get wherever you’re going safely and comfortably.
Toyota also offers two of the most desirable SUVs on the road today. The sporty RAV4 is a crossover that is fun to drive, making it the ideal car for a commuter or student who needs something dependable to get to school or work. The RAV4 also earned a 5-star safety rating from the NHTSA while being named a Top Safety Pick by the IIHS. The Toyota RAV4 also has won the 2021 Best Buy Award from Kelley Blue Book.
