Welcome to the Concord Toyota Blog

Even though we learned better in our driver’s education classes, it’s very easy to drive distracted. Whether we’re eating lunch on the road, chatting on a cell phone or texting, or zoning out and not paying attention to the traffic patterns around us, we’ve all been there. Distracted driving is a dangerous trend though.

Oh sure, it’s sunny out in the morning when you leave for work. But will it still be when noon rolls around and you run out to the café on the corner? Sometimes the weather can be fickle. And sometimes we’re kicking ourselves that we didn’t invest in a service agreement when our car, truck or SUV has a problem shortly after the warranty ends.

Toyota is synonymous with safety. If you haven’t yet heard about Toyota’s Safety Sense Technology prepare to be impressed. There are three main areas that Toyota Safety Sense cover: Lane Departure Alert, Pre-Collision System, and Automatic High Beams.

The Lane Departure Alert, also called LDA, keeps your vehicle in its own lane with a series of alerts.

Do you live or work in the Concord, CA, area? Are you looking for an SUV that is roomy, convenient and powerful? Then why not take a closer look at the all-new, 2017 Toyota Highlander? At Concord Toyota, we have a wide inventory of new Toyota vehicles to browse. This of course, includes the Highlander.

While this sharply-styled SUV looks and drives like a premium vehicle, you’ll enjoy a much more reasonable price. There are plenty of high-tech features and head, leg and shoulder room inside. 

It was in a post just last month that we here at Concord Toyota profiled our compact-sedan standout, the Corolla.

Not to be outdone, however, today we turn our attention to the Corolla's midsized stablemate, the 2017 Camry.

Ride along with Autotrader reviewer Amanda Salas to see for yourself what all the fuss is about:

Though the Camry's entry-level engine -- an 178-horsepower four-cylinder -- sure is nothing to sneeze at, it nonetheless can't quite hold a candle to the sedan's available engine upgrade, a 3.5-liter V6.

Offered as an option on the XSE and XLE models…

If you're searching for a compact crossover for your next vehicular purchase, we here at Concord Toyota suggest you do yourself a solid and try ours -- the 2017 RAV4 -- on for size.

Could this be the one you've been waiting for all along?

Check the clip below to find out. Here to offer up the need-to-know details about the latest RAV4 is carwow commentator Mat Watson:

There is but one engine option available on the RAV4. Thankfully, though, it's a great one.

Coupling with a six-speed automatic transmission, this 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine makes a hearty 176…

Take it from your friends here at Concord Toyota: we tend to recognize a good thing when we see one.

And we say this because such was our reaction upon first meeting the 2017 Highlander, the Japanese automaker's full-size SUV. With only one look, we all were head-over-heels.

Click "play" on the clip below to see it for yourself. Here now to spotlight this standout SUV is Cars.com personality Mark Williams:

So, you want an entry-level trim that doesn't skimp on the good stuff, huh? Well, then, the L is sure to satisfy.

Standard features on this…

Are you in the market for a compact sedan for you and yours? Well, if so, please allow your chums here at Concord Toyota an opportunity to play automotive matchmaker.

And with which member of the fleet would we like to set you up?

Why, none other than the 2017 Corolla! Check the clip below to hear all about it from AutoGuide.com Managing Editor Jodi Lai:

Arguably our favorite from the Corolla catalog, the mid-level LE Eco model sure has a whole heck of a lot going for itself. Syncing with a continuously variable transmission, its 1.8-liter four-cylinder…

Have been in the hunt for a capable compact-SUV that you can take out for adventurous getaways? Our go-to choice here at Concord Toyota has always been the Toyota RAV4, which has consistently succeeded at offering a balanced package of features that are meant for the outdoors. With plenty of ground clearance and a reliable all-wheel drive system in place, you'll probably be able to count the places you can't go easier than you can count where you can.

After fifteen years as the best-selling car in the country, Toyota has removed its gauntlets of safe, proven design and stepped into unfamiliar territory with the reveal of the all-new 2018 Toyota Camry. After be consistently viewed as an entry-level model, this latest Camry combats its critics with a smart, aerodynamic profile that hits the road with greater passion in its performance. This peppier take on the mid-size sedan comes to the joy of many drivers, including our excited team here at Concord Toyota!
