If you are thinking about getting an SUV this year, Toyota has made the choice a lot easier. With new updates, more features, and even better value, the 2025 Toyota SUV lineup is built for the way Canadians live and drive. Whether you need a tough ride for snowy Edmonton winters or a comfy space for family road trips, there is a Toyota SUV ready for you. Let’s talk about why 2025 is the perfect time to make the move.
Toyota offers a lot of SUV options in 2025. Each one fits a different need. If you want something compact and easy to park around West Edmonton Mall or downtown, the 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross is a smart pick. If you want more room for family and gear, the 2025 Toyota RAV4 is always a favourite. For bigger adventures and towing power, the 2025 Highlander and Sequoia bring strength and comfort in one package. Every model is built to handle Alberta’s rough winters and long highway drives.
Saving at the pump matters more than ever. Toyota’s SUV lineup offers hybrid options that deliver great fuel economy without losing power. The RAV4 Hybrid and Highlander Hybrid help you stretch every litre of fuel further. Even the all-new 2025 Grand Highlander Hybrid is ready to surprise you with its smart balance of space and efficiency. Whether you drive around Edmonton or head out on a trip to Jasper, Toyota helps you go farther without spending more.
Toyota takes safety seriously. Every 2025 SUV comes with Toyota Safety Sense technology. This includes things like automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control. These features are made to help you feel more confident, whether you are driving in downtown traffic or on snowy highways. It is one more reason why so many Edmonton drivers trust Toyota for their families.
Stepping inside a 2025 Toyota SUV feels like a little piece of home. Soft-touch materials, heated seats, big touchscreens, and lots of space make every drive more relaxing. SUVs like the Highlander offer available captain’s chairs in the second row, perfect for family trips. Even the smaller Corolla Cross has smart storage spots and comfy seating that make a big difference when you are on the go. Toyota knows that real comfort comes from the little things done right.
Toyota vehicles are known for keeping their value over time. That means buying a Toyota SUV today is a smart move for tomorrow. With strong reliability, low maintenance costs, and high resale values, Toyota SUVs are a smart investment. In a busy place like Edmonton, where you might trade up or move on every few years, it feels good to know your SUV will still be worth a lot down the road.

It’s important to choose the correct tire size for your vehicle. This ensures the correct handling, lifespan and performance of your tires. But what do all those numbers and letters mean?
Let’s look at the tire size: P235/40R19 99V.
Tire Type – The “P” stands for passenger car in P-metric size. If your tire doesn’t have a “P”, it’s likely a European metric tire.
Tire Width – This is the width of your tire in millimetres, from sidewall to sidewall. This tire size measures 235mm in width.
Aspect Ratio – This is the ratio of the height of the tire’s cross-section to its height, with lower numbers meaning stiffer sidewalls. This tire has an aspect ratio of 40.
Construction – The “R” indicates that the tire is a Radial tire.
Wheel Diameter – The diameter of the wheel when measured from one end to another. This dictates the size of the wheel the tire must be mounted on. This tire has a diameter of 19 inches.
Load Index – This number indicates how much weight the tire can support with maximum air pressure. A 99 load index means this tire can handle a load of 1,709 lbs.
Speed Rating – This number tells you the maximum speed capability of the tire and is often matched to the top speed of your vehicle. The letter “V” indicates that these tires have a maximum speed rating of 240km/h.
Even if you don’t need new tires, we have everything you need to keep your vehicle (and its tires) in great shape.
Our qualified Toyota Certified technicians can check your tire health during your next service appointment. From checking tread depth to rotating tires to prevent uneven wear, we’ve got you covered.
In fact, we can also perform wheel alignments to improve your driving experience by adjusting your suspension system. This ensures your tires meet the road at the proper angle for your vehicle.
Book a service appointment HERE.
As the seasons change, so should your tires. We can swap your winter tires for you and fit your summer or all-season tires as the weather warms up.
Your tires must be correct for the season to ensure improved tire performance and lifespan, and reduce replacement costs.
So you’ve had your tires swapped, but where should you keep them? We recommend storing them flat in a dry environment away from direct sunlight.
However, if you don’t have space to store your tires (or you’re tired of dragging them back and forth to the dealership), you can store them with us!
We offer convenient tire storage on-site and can have them on hand for your next tire swap. Store with us for just $99 per season. In addition to our tire storage offers, we also offer “Swap, Store, Shine!” You can get your tires swapped and stored, as well as vehicle detailing, during a convenient visit to West Edmonton Mall. We will SWAP your winter tires, STORE your tires for you, and SHINE your vehicle inside out for $249.
We’re proud to offer the right tires at the right price. Show us any Canadian competitor’s advertised tire price or quote within 30 days before or after your purchase, and West Edmonton Mall Toyota will beat it by 5%!

Are you currently in the market for a new vehicle?
Are you trying to decide whether a used or brand-new vehicle is best for you?
Do you have budget concerns and need a car within a lower price range?
Let’s chat about used cars.
Owning a used car can have many benefits compared to purchasing a new car straight off the lot. Whether you’re looking for lower monthly car payments, slower depreciation rates, or upfront savings, choosing a used car is a great alternative for Edmonton drivers.
As the largest Canadian Toyota dealership, we have an extensive inventory of new and pre-owned vehicles. Our state-of-the-art dealership includes a 35-vehicle showroom, 70-bay service shop, six express service bays and 18 detail bays. In fact, it’s the only full-service car dealership in a mall in North America! We regularly have Edmontonians selling or trading in their vehicles, making us a top choice for used cars.
Interested in getting a used car? Read this first.

Some drivers may hesitate to buy a used car, wanting something brand-new and untouched instead. However, used cars have many benefits and can be an incredible budget-friendly vehicle option.
Data from CARFAX shows that vehicle value can drop about 20% in the first year of ownership, with your car losing more than 10% of its value in just the first month alone! If you purchase a new vehicle, this depreciation will affect your car’s resale value.
However, this is great news for those buying used cars. The original owner absorbed the depreciation cost, and you can purchase your vehicle at a much lower price.
Did you know? Factors like vehicle age, mileage and brand name affect how a car’s value depreciates. Toyota is known for its durability and reliability, so Toyota vehicles typically retain better resale value than other competitors.
Need a truck to do some heavy lifting? Looking for cargo space in a family-friendly SUV? Or, how about a nifty hatchback for some city driving?
Thanks to depreciation, more options on the market can fit into your budget! We have a wide variety of vehicle types, from sedans to trucks, with low prices that can suit a budget of your choosing.
The unknown can be scary. But your used car’s history doesn’t have to be! Thanks to CARFAX, you can check your vehicle’s history online and know exactly what you’re getting into. All of our used vehicles have CARFAX reports to help you make educated car-purchasing decisions.

Read: 10 Tips to Prepare Your Car For Trade-In
The holiday season is approaching, and a new vehicle is calling your name… so why not trade your car in? Trade-ins are convenient, fast, and often come with more benefits than selling privately. And if you want the best value, it’s important to prepare your car for trade-in the right way.
To help you avoid losing money, we’ve rounded up ten smart ways to prepare your car for trade-in with our team at West Edmonton Mall Toyota.
Tips to Prepare Your Car For Trade-In
#2: Have Your Car’s Documentation
#4: Learn How Car Trade-Ins Work
#8: Check Your Insurance For Major Repairs
Interested in selling us your vehicle? Start the vehicle appraisal process here.
You need to be as educated as possible when selling or trading in your vehicle. Don’t go through with a trade without knowing the resale value of your vehicle and doing your research!
We recommend using online price value estimators to find estimated minimum prices for your make and model.
Here are some recommendations:
You will need to supply the following information to get accurate estimates:
Documentation can make or break a good trade-in value! We recommend keeping any maintenance documents, oil change receipts, vehicle owner’s guide, etc., with you to bring to the dealership. These documents can show that you take good care of your vehicle and that maintenance schedules have been followed.
Watch our vehicle trade-in tips HERE.

VIN stands for Vehicle Identification Number and should be included in the provided documentation. You can typically find your VIN engraved on a metal plate on the driver’s side of your vehicle (bottom of the door or dashboard) or your pink slip.

When you prepare your car for trade-in, the dealership will assess the car’s value and apply that value towards the purchase of a new vehicle. This is a great and convenient way to upgrade your vehicle!
Multiple factors will affect the car’s resale or trade-in value (see below for Tip #4). But what happens if you want to trade in a car that you owe money on?
Dealerships will run a lien search to see how much money is owed on the car. A car lien, according to the Government of Canada, is “a lender’s claim for repayment that they register against a car or other type of motor vehicle.”
If the trade-in value for your vehicle is higher than the loan balance, you’ll receive credit towards the new one! However, if the loan balance (lien) is higher than the car’s trade-in value, then you’ll need to pay the difference. This can mean higher monthly payments or an increased cost upfront.
Let’s continue with our tips to prepare your car for trade-in. Multiple factors can affect your car’s trade-in value, and staying informed is key.
Popular car makes and models are more likely to be resold and will be more likely to be desired by a dealership. General vehicle upkeep, such as eating, drinking, or smoking in the car, can also influence resale value. If your vehicle has been exposed to smoke regularly, it’s less likely to resell well.
Moreover, mileage is one of the most important car value factors. If your car is over 100,000km, its value reduces. This means that vehicles used for extensive travel or long commutes can have lower resale values than vehicles driven less often.
These factors will affect the dollar value offered to you by the dealership.
So you have your ducks (and documents) in a row… what’s next? If your vehicle has any service or engine lights on, we recommend sorting that out as soon as possible. Having no obvious service issues makes your vehicle more appealing for a trade!
If you have a high-mileage vehicle, it’s quite common for check engine lights to turn on due to faulty oxygen sensors.
To identify why your engine light is on, we have two recommendations.
If you’re due for your service maintenance appointment, you can have our technicians take a look at the source of the check engine light at the same time. Book your service appointment with our team here.
You can use a code reader if you’re on a tight budget or want to try your hand yourself. A code reader is a tool that allows you to read, display, and clear codes on your vehicle. It can also help you diagnose what the engine light is telling you. Once you know the issue, you can make minor repairs yourself or communicate it with our service team.
Does your car have minor dents and scratches? See if they can be buffed out. Is your headlamp broken? A simple bulb replacement can solve that. Do you have a dirty air filter? You can easily replace it yourself or have it done during a service appointment.
We also recommend double-checking that you have all the original items with the car. For example, if you removed a headrest or lost your gas cap along the way, these will need to be replaced.
Bonus: dealerships love it if you have both sets of keys! Keys can be expensive to remake, so bring both sets of keys to sweeten your trade-in deal.
As you’re doing minor repairs on your vehicle, take the chance to examine the state of your car’s tires.
If you take a car with worn-out tires to a dealership to trade in, the dealership will have to replace the tires before selling them to another customer. Therefore, they will deduct that cost from your trade-in value. However, if your tires are in good shape and still have good wear, that additional cost may not be needed.
Bonus: make your tires look good on the day with a tire shine! Toyota Genuine Tire Dressing adds a visible gloss to your tire sidewalls and makes a good impression. (Available for purchase through our Parts Centre)
If your car has more serious issues, we recommend addressing those before trading in your vehicle. For example, if you have a cracked windshield, we suggest checking your insurance coverage before considering a replacement. While you may have to pay a small deductible, it’s often worth it as you get it replaced under insurance coverage.
If your car has any major issues, such as the following, we recommend getting it checked out by a technician.
Now that your car is in good shape and you have all the documentation you need, it’s time to clean your car! Depending on the state of your vehicle, you might not need a professional detail service, but you should still clean it yourself to ensure you get the best trade-in offer possible.
Vacuum the interior, wipe down any surfaces, and have the exterior of your car washed. Check out our Valet & Car Wash options as well. Stains, smells and overly dirty vehicles don’t make good first impressions and will reduce your car’s trade-in value. Toyota sells the Toyota Touch Kit, which includes high-quality cleaning and detailing products you can use in the comfort of your driveway.

Too busy to do a deep clean? You can invest in a detailing service from our team to get your vehicle inspection ready!
We recommend removing trash from the vehicle (check those side doors and hidden compartments) and having an empty trunk. Having a lot of personal items can hamper the car inspection process and lead to a lower trade-in value.
While pumping your car’s tires is also important, we’re talking about boosting the perceived value of your vehicle during a trade-in offer. Don’t bad-mouth or talk down on your car!
If you talk about how badly your car runs or how much you hate it, why would a dealership want to buy it? While you should be honest about any issues with it, you should avoid trash-talking and devaluing your car during the trade-in process.
Think to yourself: will this car be an easy sell to others? Why do you need or want a new vehicle? And why should this dealership go through with this trade?
Did you enjoy our tips to prepare your car for trade-in? If you’re looking to sell your vehicle, you’re in the right place! We have hundreds of pre-owned and new vehicles ready to be purchased and we have options for leasing cars and would be happy to assess your vehicle for a trade-in.
