Every driver is unique, which is why vehicles come in all shapes and sizes. Some are looking for an affordable sedan to get them to and from work every day; some need a powerful truck for tackling big jobs; some need a three-row SUV or minivan to get the whole family around; others want to get their thrills with a sleek sports car. As your friendly, local Toyota dealer, we here at Haley Toyota of Richmond are proud to offer a wide variety of options, from coupes to vans and everything in between.
Toyota’s lineup is certainly diverse, with all kinds of body styles, trims, and powertrains to choose from—and with new and used models available here, it’s easy to find something that’s not only perfect for your driving needs but also just right for your budget. But despite all this variety, there are some things that all Toyota models have in common: every vehicle is well-built, comfortable, and reliable.
If you’re looking for a great Toyota vehicle that you can count on day in and day out, you’ve come to the right place.
Toyota is a Japanese automaker that has a long history in the US market. They first opened up shop in the States back in 1957, selling around three hundred vehicles in their first year here, including nameplates that are still familiar today, like the Toyota Crown and Land Cruiser. Over the next few decades, the brand expanded, with dealerships popping up from coast to coast and models like the Corona—which was designed with American drivers in mind—and the Toyota Corolla joining the lineup in the 1960s and 1970s. By 1975, Toyota had overtaken Volkswagen as the top imported vehicle brand in the US.
While Toyota certainly has a long and storied history, the brand is very forward-facing and eager to embrace futuristic technology. This includes hybrid and electric powertrains as well as improved gas engines, suspension systems, and driver assistance technologies. With a Toyota vehicle, you can expect a top-notch infotainment system, a smooth ride, and great fuel economy. These models are well-rounded and great for a variety of tasks, although others are more specialized and do amazingly well in their niche, like TRD (Toyota Racing Development) vehicles, which go above and beyond in performance.
When you get a new Toyota, you’ll take advantage of all the latest breakthroughs in automotive technology. If you want a sedan for commuting, a new compact Corolla, midsize Camry, or full-size Crown will give you great mileage figures, so you don’t have to waste too much of your hard-earned money at the gas station. The Toyota Prius hatchback made history as the first mass-produced gas/electric hybrid back in 1998, so its powertrain is well-tested and has been evolving for decades, becoming more powerful and efficient with every generation.
If you’re looking for a family car, you can rest assured that the new models have the latest safety features. The Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) suite of driver assistance tech has been around for several years, so you can certainly get these features in a used model—but TSS is growing and evolving as new features are created and perfected, so new models will have the best version to date and are more likely to have more advanced features come standard, even on entry-level trims. It can be difficult to stay aware of your surroundings in a large, three-row vehicle, but TSS helps you avoid danger and remain in control behind the wheel of the likes of the Toyota Sienna or SUVs like the Toyota Sequoia, 4Runner, or Highlander.
When it comes to trucks like the midsize Tacoma or full-size Tundra, the engineers at Toyota are always working hard to boost their towing and hauling capacities and add useful tech for safer trailering, like extra camera views or an expanded blind zone that keeps the size of your trailer in mind. Off-road capable SUVs like the Toyota Land Cruiser and certain trims of the Toyota RAV4 also get purpose-specific improvements like re-tuned suspension systems and features like multi-terrain selection that let you get your settings just right for a variety of trail conditions. Performance vehicles like the GR Supra are constantly being improved to shave fractions of a second off of their zero-to-sixty times for greater thrills on the road.
Toyota is known for making reliable vehicles that are built to last for the long haul, so you can shop used models with confidence. Here at Haley Toyota of Richmond, we do everything we can to boost that confidence even further. We inspect every used vehicle that comes into our inventory to make sure it’s ready to hit the road the moment you drive off the lot. We make it easy for you to research your options here on our website, where you can find pictures of our current models, their mileage figures, an extensive list of included features, and a free CARFAX vehicle history report that will let you peek into the past of every model you’re considering.
Our Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program takes this peace of mind even further. CPO Toyota vehicles need to meet certain standards and pass a rigorous inspection to be certified, so you can trust beyond a shadow of a doubt that each one is a quality vehicle that won’t let you down. Silver Certified models can’t be older than ten years and can’t have more than 125,000 miles on the odometer, and then they have to pass a 136-point inspection. Gold Certified models have even stricter requirements: they can’t be older than six years or have more than 85,000 miles on the odometer, and they're subject to a 160-point inspection.
Certified models come with great warranties that are honored at over 1,400 Toyota dealers across North America, so you can get your service covered whether you’re here at home or out on a cross-country road trip. Silver Certified models get a 12-month, 12,000-mile limited powertrain warranty and 24-hour roadside assistance for the same period, while Gold Certified models are covered by a 12-month, 12,000-mile limited comprehensive warranty, a seven-year, 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, and 24-hour roadside assistance for the full term of the powertrain warranty.
