#Entune

Toyota is the latest automaker to announce that Amazon Alexa will be available in its vehicles starting this year.

Toyota has updated its eight-passenger Sequoia SUV for the 2013 model year, adding the Japanese automaker’s first Blu-Ray rear seat entertainment system and a 5.7-liter V8 as standard on all models (SR5, Limited, Platinum).

Toyota recently announced an updated version of its Tacoma pickup for 2012 and has now revealed pricing, with the top-selling truck starting at $16,875.

Toyota will release a new in-car telematics system, dubbed Entune, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. Taking a page from Ford’s SYNC and MyFordTouch systems, Entune will oversee navigation, entertainment and smartphone connectivity services.
