The 2018 Toyota RAV4 brings upgrades and new features to its stunning classic--since the model got a full overhaul for the 2016 model-year, there won't be too many mind-boggling structural changes to the body or chassis.

That doesn't mean that the 2018 won't bring some nice surprises, though--and drivers in Rhode Island will particularly be able to look forward to the 2018 Toyota RAV4 Adventure, a new package offered on the brand's legendary compact crossover SUV.

While we can't expect to see the new 2018 Toyota Camry in our Warwick showroom until the late summer or early fall, we've still got plenty to look forward to.

In March, we took a look at the design of the new 2018 Camry; at some of the biggest changes and improvements that we'll see that will help to set Toyota's midsize car even further apart…

Buy a used Toyota Tacoma in Warwick

Buying a used car isn't always a sure thing--in fact, nearly all of our customers have a story of a car they or a friend bought that turned out to be less of a bargain that it seemed. Some brands age better than others, some hold their value longer, and others dwindle away far sooner than it seems like they should.

But that's exactly why so many drivers choose Toyota when they're shopping for a used car: Toyota trucks, SUVs, and cars outlast the competition, offer affordable prices, and stay…

While the Toyota Camry sedan has long been held up as a model example of reliability, practicality, and value, it's never enjoyed a reputation for in-your-face style or radical designs.
 

Biggest Changes We'll See in the 2018 Toyota Camry

• Benefits of the new Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform
• Sculpted, modern slices--similar to those seen in the new Prius
• A more driver-centric cabin that allows for a bit more breathing room and a lot more comfort
• New direct-injection 3.5-liter V-6 engine
• New eight-speed automatic transmission

What have you heard about new-car leasing in Warwick?

More than likely, you've heard less-than-exceptional things from older relatives, Facebook friends, and random strangers: leasing isn't worth the money,

But ask a Rhode Island driver who actually leases a new Toyota, and they'll tell you that it's a fantastic choice for a wide variety of shoppers who need a flexible financing option. And at Balise Toyota of Warwick, you could save a lot of money by leasing with us.

Last week, we looked at the 2018 Toyota Sequoia TRD Sport as one of a few new additions to the Toyota Racing Development lineup available in the Warwick and Providence areas.

And while the Toyota Tundra full-size truck is no stranger to the TRD touch, we'll be seeing more updated and upgrades in the form of the 2018 Toyota Tundra TRD Sport.

But a single trim level won't be the only change for the upcoming MY18 Tundra--Toyota has provided us with a few more details from their February TRD press release:

The new Toyota Sequoia will bring the same platform, the same engine, and many of the same trim levels and features--but something very big is changing:

A brand-new trim level for this momentous SUV: the 2018 Toyota Sequoia TRD Sport.

TRD and TRD Pro trims have historically only been available on the Tacoma, the Tundra, and the 4Runner--the "classic" off-roading vehicles that serious Rhode Island adventurers love.

But new for 2018, the Toyota Racing Development division will be casting its magical spell of rugged capability onto the massive, luxurious Toyota Sequoia.

We had an amazing time on Sunday, January 29th, when our Balise Toyota of Warwick team welcomed Billy Gilman, NBC's The Voice runner-up to join us at the dealership for an "Up Close and Personal" appearance.
