Production Begins for 2020 Toyota Corolla

The Toyota Mississippi plant in Blue Springs has officially begun production for the all-new 2020 Toyota Corolla. The 12th-generation Corolla has a bold new design that makes it look even more sophisticated and modern, and it promises to be an exciting new addition to the Toyota lineup when it arrives later this year.

“We have an extraordinary team in Mississippi building a remarkable vehicle,” said Toyota Mississippi Plant President Sean Suggs. “I can honestly say we get better every day, and it’s because of our amazing team members. I can’t wait to see what happens next for our plant, our community, and as we like to say, the Toyota Mississippi Family.”

The Toyota Corolla is the world’s best-selling nameplate with an incredible 46 million vehicles delivered around the world since its debut in 1966. Today, the introduction of the 2020 Toyota Corolla promises to extend that legacy with the introduction of bolder styling, more powerful performance, and a first-ever Corolla Hybrid that returns an incredible 52 mpg.*

The 2020 Corolla will also come standard with Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0. This suite of safety technology will include features like Road Sign Assist, Lane Tracing Assist, and a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, delivering an incredible level of safety and confidence.

The new 2020 Toyota Corolla will be arriving soon at Robbins Toyota. Call or stop in to be among the first to take one for a test drive.

How to Spring Clean Your Car

The start of spring means time for spring cleaning, and this year, you should extend that luxury to your vehicle. Taking the opportunity to tidy up your ride inside and out will help get you ready for the warmer months ahead and all the road trips and adventures they entail. Here are some tips for how to spring clean your car.

Don’t Forget the Trunk

The trunk or cargo area of your vehicle may be the easiest to neglect because you only tend to look at it when you need it. But you’ll want to make sure that it gets the right amount of TLC as well. Clean out any trash or debris, vacuum and wipe down any surfaces, and make sure that things like your emergency kits and first aid kits are organized and accessible.

Clean Out the Nooks and Crannies

The carpeting and upholstery will no doubt get the bulk of the attention when spring cleaning your car, but you should still pay special mind to the smaller details. Your dashboard glovebox, center console storage, door storage pockets, and seatback storage should all be considered, whether it’s removing out-of-date paperwork or getting rid of clutter.

Wash the Windows and Wheels Last

When you go to wash the exterior of your car, make sure you do the windows and wheels last. Washing the body will bring down all the grime and dirt over these surfaces, making them the last spots you should clean. Clean up the windshield with some glass cleaner at the end, then deep-clean the wheels for that like-new shine.
