Toyota's New Engine Family: Here's Why Rivals Should Worry
Toyota's New Engine Family: Here's Why Rivals Should Worry originally appeared on Autoblog. Many of today's powertrain developments are in the electric vehicle (EV) realm, but Toyota is expanding the limits of gas-powered engines. The automaker's next-gen engine lineup includes 1.5-liter and 2.0-liter sizes, which are entirely different from its previous internal combustion engines (ICE), leveraging more lightweight and compact designs. Toyota's new 1.5-liter achieves a 10% weight and volume reduction compared to the company's current 1.5-liter, while the new 2.0-liter offers similar gains to the existing 2.4-liter. In turn, Toyota is able to increase fuel economy and lower emissions without sacrificing power. Still, this next-gen engine family's efficiency extends beyond increased mileage and reduced emissions into areas like vehicle segment versatility. Let's take a closer look at how Toyota is giving its rivals increased competition with the innovation of its latest engine lineup. Flexibility is a focal point of Toyota's next-gen engine family, with the ability to mount longitudinally or transversely and be placed at a vehicle's front or rear. This flexibility supports the development of future, sportier Toyotas, plus the seamless implementation of all-wheel drive (AWD), RWD, and FWD layouts. Toyota can utilize the 1.5-liter engine to suit classes such as compact cars and hybrids, while the 2.0-liter turbo could fit larger trucks, SUVs, and sports models. 'With these engines, each of the three companies [Toyota, Subaru, Mazda] will aim to optimize the integration with motors, batteries, and other electric drive units,' Toyota said in a statement, according to The Daily Star. Toyota, which owns about a fifth of Subaru and roughly 5% of Mazda, added that its next-generation ICE engine lineup will help decarbonize ICEs by making them compatible with alternative fuel sources, such as e-fuels (synthetic fuels) and biofuels. While smaller engines often evoke thoughts of slower cars, their installation in upcoming Toyotas enables lower hoods, which enhances crucial performance factors such as aerodynamics and contributes to improved fuel economy. The engines' design flexibility also opens the door to Toyota reviving fan-favorite performance vehicles like the MR2 and streamlining the development of the upcoming Celica. American drivers could even see the engines in Gazoo Racing models like the GR Corolla and GR86. According to Toyota engineers who spoke with German publication Auto Motor und Sport, the 2.0-liter is easily capable of exceeding the 400-450-horsepower figure of the mid-engine GR Yaris M concept, or over 600 horsepower with a larger turbocharger. Toyota's desire to expand the limits of ICEs arrives at a time when many automakers are reducing their investment in the technology. This decision from Toyota, along with its collaborators Subaru and Mazda, could pay off in a significant way by appealing to drivers who are not yet ready for full electrification, whether for reasons like lack of charging infrastructure or personal taste, but still seek improved efficiency. Drivers can also look forward to this ICE technology offering the ability to increase sports car mileage and reduce emissions while enhancing power. Many automakers have decided to stretch ICE production into the 2030s, but Toyota and its partners appear to have a leg up on competitors with this next-gen engine lineup offering innovation in the areas that matter most.

‘You're Gonna Cost Yourselves Thousands:' Expert Reveals the Real Reason You Can't Custom Order a Toyota. Is There a Workaround?
A car expert is warning shoppers that if you're trying to custom-order a Toyota (or Honda), you're wasting your time, and possibly thousands of dollars. Vehicle purchase consultant Tomi Mikula (@tomislavmikula) claims the issue isn't demand, but the allocation system that gives dealers little to no control over builds. 'If you've even considered buying a Toyota or a Honda, you'll probably run into crazy wait times, like a two-and-a-half-year waitlist on a 4Runner TRD Pro, or a year waitlist on a Sienna, or a six-to-eight-month wait list on a Grand Highlander,' he said in the clip that's been viewed more than 220,000 times. According to Mikula, Toyota and Honda don't offer true custom ordering, unlike some competitors. While manufacturers like BMW and Ford allow buyers to spec vehicles from the ground up, with dealerships submitting those configurations directly to the factory, Toyota and Honda primarily rely on an allocation system , which pre-assigns vehicles to dealers based on historical sales data and regional demand. Rather than submitting individual customer builds to the factory, Toyota dealers receive batches of pre-configured vehicles every two weeks. Buyers can 'build' a car on the Toyota website, but that doesn't mean the factory will make it. As Mikula puts it: While some dealers may request changes to their allocation, Mikula claims those requests are often denied, especially for popular trims or color combinations. Toyota has publicly acknowledged the use of this allocation model in past dealership communications. Waitlists Can Be Misleading The result, Mikula says, is that many Toyota and Honda buyers are unknowingly placed in a queue that may never deliver what they want. For example, he said Toyota's 4Runner TRD Pro, Sienna, and Grand Highlander are all in high demand, with online estimates of wait times ranging from six months to two years depending on the region and configuration. But allocation-based matching means that if your preferred build doesn't show up in the next batch, or a salesperson overlooks your request, you're likely to be skipped . Worse, Mikula says, sales staff may prioritize buyers who walk in ready to sign, over customers already on a deposit list. Dealers Have Little Incentive to Prioritize You According to Mikula, one reason the system leads to long wait times is that there's no centralized way to match every customer's preferences to incoming cars. It's up to dealership staff to manually sort deposit lists against incoming allocation lists. Errors, forgetfulness, or simple laziness can result in missed customers. 'I can tell you the amount of times that I've heard horror stories from dealerships that just lost their name on a list completely,' he said. BMW and Others Offer True Customization By contrast, automakers like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Ford offer build-to-order systems that give dealerships 'slots' with the factory. Customers can spec a car exactly how they want—paint color, interior trim, packages, even wheel design—and the factory builds that configuration. Brands like Ford and Ram encourage factory ordering via Build & Price tools, and customers often receive a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) within weeks. That VIN ties to the exact vehicle being built, and buyers can track it through production. Mikula's advice: 'You do not want to put a deposit on a car unless you can actually get a VIN and a window sticker.' How to Protect Yourself as a Buyer To avoid frustration, Mikula recommends a few tips for Toyota and Honda shoppers: Don't assume the website's 'Build' tool leads to a factory order. It's often just a wishlist. Ask for a VIN and window sticker before placing a deposit. Clarify your flexibility. If you're OK with alternative colors or missing one minor feature, let the dealer know—don't get skipped. Negotiate pricing up front. Dealers have more leverage once you've waited six months and are emotionally invested in the vehicle. Shop around. Some dealers manage allocation lists better than others. Mikula says his average Sienna client waits 30–60 days, while the national average is 8+ months. We've reached out to Mikula for comment. We'll be sure to update this article if we hear back.
