Toyota's San Antonio Expansion Brings Job Boost
Great news is spreading across Texas following an announcement about Toyota's San Antonio assembly plant. In July 2026, Toyota Motor North America shared plans for a $3.6 billion investment to expand the facility and open up new career paths for workers helping construct the next era of Toyota vehicles.
Toyota has made all-wheel drive (AWD) standard on every 2026 Highlander trim. This three-row SUV offers a versatile combination of comfort and capability, making it ideal for daily commutes as well as weekend adventures. The AWD system pairs with a turbocharged engine and automatic transmission to deliver confident performance in a variety of conditions.
Hybrid vehicles are now a familiar sight on roads across the U.S., but that wasn’t always the case. When the Toyota Prius first arrived 25 years ago, it marked a bold and uncertain move toward a more fuel-efficient future. Today, the upcoming 2026 Prius honors that legacy and the role it played in transforming the way we drive.
Toyota Safety Sense was developed because Toyota has always placed safety at the core of its mission—long before introducing one of the world’s most respected driver-assist systems. The company has a dedicated division that continually works to advance safety technologies. In 2011, Toyota launched its Collaborative Safety Research Center (CSRC) to strengthen its focus on mobility safety. Since that time, the CSRC has teamed up with universities, hospitals, and top experts to find new ways to reduce crash injuries, better understand driver behavior, and prevent accidents.
