A Brand New Toyota SUV

Here at Bell Road Toyota, we've noticed how popular crossovers and SUVs have gotten in recent years. Fortunately for you, the Toyota brand offers a ton of new Toyota vehicles that crossover and SUV buyers will love. There's the compact and capable 2019 Toyota RAV4, the rugged 2019 Toyota 4Runner, the spacious 2019 Toyota Highlander, and more. Now the Toyota brand is getting ready to offer another option, a new SUV built right here in the United States.

The new Toyota SUV will be manufactured at a new $1.6 billion plant in Huntsville, Alabama. This plant will create around 4,000 new jobs and could produce up to 300,000 vehicles per year. Originally, the Toyota brand was going to move some Toyota Corolla production there, but it seems as if someone changed their mind. Instead that sedan will continue to be built in Mississippi.

This new SUV is being built in response to market forces. Demand for SUVs just keeps rising, and although the Toyota brand already boasts a varied lineup it can't hurt to add another and potentially attract some new drivers. This new vehicle would be one of twelve new or redesigned models that the automaker has pledged to build over three years and will likely be built on the TNGA-C platform, currently used by models like the 2019 Toyota C-HR and the 2019 Toyota Prius.

That could mean that this new SUV is on the smaller side. Other rumors indicate that it will be an off-road model, a small vehicle that complements the front-wheel drive Toyota C-HR in our lineup. This new SUV could take some cues from the FT-4X Concept, a rugged, boxy model that made its debut at the 2017 New York Auto Show. In any case, we'll learn more about this new Toyota vehicle as its production date in 2021 gets closer.
