Before you experience the performance aspects of the Sienna, hopefully as part of a Lombard Toyota test drive, you will notice the striking design of this minivan. Its “good looks” set it apart from its more boxy counterparts, and make it a real eye catcher. The design is curved and flowing, and the seamless design gives it the appearance of cutting through the air when driving. There is nothing outsized or awkward about the Sienna, instead looking like the perfection of the classic minivan design.

Then there is the interior, which features all of the options and amenities you would expect from a minivan of this caliber. The Toyota Sienna features stow-away back seats the fold under the floor, easily opening up more storage space.  The seats are comfortable as well, rounded and well-designed, with none of the harsh edges of the Odysseys more box-like seats.

Finally there is the performance aspect of the Toyota Chicago area Sienna, which simply blows the competitors out of the water. The power is striking, with the engine easily reaching highway speeds in just seconds and the steering and handling making even tough driving in rough weather safe and secure.

In the end, though, come see for yourself! Lombard Toyota is your Toyota Chicago area dealer, and we make it easy to test drive a Toyota Sienna today.

The Toyota Venza is available in two trim levels at your Toyota Chicago area dear, and reflects the two different engines utilized in this model, a four cylinder and a six cylinder. Both models features a six-speed automatic transmission. The four cylinder Venza features a 2.7 liter engine generating 182 horsepower and 182 foot-pounds of torque. The EPA rated mileage when equipped with this engine is 21mpg city and 27mph highway. In performance testing, the four cylinder Venza was capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 in 9.3 seconds, which is par for midsize crossovers in its class. Standard with the four cylinder version are 19 inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, fog lamps, a sliding privacy glass, powered tailgate, remote entry, cruise control, dual-zone climate control, adjustable powered driver’s seat with eight degrees of freedom, tilting and telescoping steering wheel, colored trip computer display, Bluetooth, and a six speaker stereo system with CD player, satellite radio, and iPod and USB audio interface.

The six cylinder version of the Toyota Venza carries a 3.5 liter engine that produces 268 horsepower and 246 foot-pounds of torque. With more power under the hood, the Venza can sprint from 0 to 60 in a brisk 6.9 seconds. This added power decreases mileage only slightly, to 19mph city and 26mpg highway. The six cylinder package ups the wheel size to 20 inches. Both versions are available with all wheel drive as an option.

Every 2011 comes with the following standard safety features: Front seat side airbags, side curtain airbags, driver knee airbags, anti-lock disc brakes for all four wheels, stability control and traction control. In controlled braking tests, the car can decelerate from 60 to 0 in approximately 120 feet of distance.

The 2011 Toyota Venza is the perfect vehicle for someone who wants something with sedan handling that will haul the entire family while getting reasonable gas mileage. You can learn more about the Toyota Venza at Lombard Toyota, a premier Toyota Chicago distributor.

Customers who visit Lombard Toyota, your Toyota Chicago area dealer, looking to purchase full-size pickups like the Toyota Tundra want to make sure that the cars they buy are safe. As full-size pickup trucks in general have been considered less safe in terms of rolling over as compared with standard passenger cars, a superior safety rating for a full-size pickup is of paramount importance. Let Toyota Lombard show you all the spectacular safety features of Toyota Tundra but read on for some major safety news about Toyota Tundra.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has raised the standards as to which cars can qualify for an award of a Top Safety Pick. The Institute’s earlier tests have only focused on two measures: 1) the likelihood of rolling over, and 2) active safety electronic features that attempt to prevent a car from rolling over. This year, however, IIHS has added the rooftop strength test as a criterion so that currently IIHS measures a car cabin’s ability to maintain its shape by looking at a particular car’s weight versus its roof strength during a real crash test. A car has to have a 4-to-1 ratio for strength-to-weight to receive the highest possible rating of Good.

In 2011, for the first time ever since IIHS has started measuring rooftop strength, several full-size pickup trucks have earned the prestigious award for highest safety. According to the latest IIHS published data, 2011 Toyota Tundra has received the highest IIHS score of Good, making it a Top Safety Pick. Tundra passed the rooftop strength tests with flying colors by posting a 4.5 to 1 ratio for strength-to-weight measure, as well as earning high scores in frontal offset, side impact and rear impact crash tests. Lombard Toyota will be happy to explain the safety ratings and what they mean for you and your family. Moreover, Toyota Tundra has also received high marks for its Star Safety System, electronic stability control feature, which helps against rolling over. Let a Lombard Toyota sales agent demonstrate how the system works to prevent accidents.

Come to Lombard Toyota dealership in Chicago to get your Toyota Tundra. Lombard is open until midnight every day, including for service, and has the best deals for Toyota Tundra customers in Chicago.

What makes the 2011 Camry so exceptional? Let’s start with what’s standard. A 2.5 Liter, 169 hp 4 cylinder engine gives the Camry plenty of pep. Electronic Ignition, Featuring Toyota Direct Ignition, is convenient and safe. The standard Camry is also considered an ultra-low emissions vehicle by the EPA, and at 33 mpg on the highway it’s easy on the wallet as well. Hybrid disc brakes, once considered a staple of luxury vehicles, is now a standard staple of the Camry as well, while projector-beam headlamps and LED’s make nighttime parking a breeze.

Toyota Chicago considers the 2011 Camry to be a flagship vehicle not only for its standard features, but its optional ones as well. The V6 Camry LE offers extra oomph, a power tilt moonroof, dual rear exhaust outlets, and an automatic overdrive transmission. This makes it the ultimate touring sedan.

The SLE adds options such as a media system with eight speakers, a six disc CD changer, and Bluetooth music streaming; heated mirrors and front seats; and front fog lamps. The fully loaded SE also comes equipped with sport-leather trim, a Smart Key System, and a rear spoiler. Customization means that most features are optional, depending on the customer’s preferences.

Most exciting, however, is the Camry Hybrid, the product of many years of work by Toyota to bring the hybrid to the average consumer. The Camry Hybrid has all of the benefits you would expect from a hybrid vehicle (better mileage, lower emissions, lower fuel costs), but at $27,050 it becomes quite affordable when compared with other hybrids.

The Toyota Camry has previously been named Motor Trend’s Car of the Year, and its 2011 incarnation is being hailed by many as Toyota’s best. It has the lowest maintenance costs in its class, the best retained value, and has received the most 2001 Best Overall Value awards. It has been the best-selling care of any kind in the USA in thirteen out of the last fourteen years.

The 2011 Camry is durable, fuel efficient, customizable, reliable, and now increasingly conscious of the environment. Lombard Toyota, your Toyota Chicago area dealer is proud to sell the 2011 Toyota Camry.
