Toyota Launches New Brand Film, Getaway Driver, featuring its 2024 Corolla and Corolla Cross Hybrid Nightshade Editions

 

Humorous, horror-inspired short film stars noted internet comedian and actor ‘King Bach’

Toyota today announced the release of the short brand film Getaway Driver, as part of its latest national ad and media campaign supporting the Corolla Hybrid. The Corolla Hybrid Nightshade Edition, a style driven vehicle that is fun to drive, features a sporty exterior, 18-inch bronze finished wheels and blacked-out accents.

Presented together with SiriusXM®, Getaway Driver was conceived and produced to appeal specifically to GenZ/Millennial consumers, and prominently features noted comic-actor “King Bach,” a celebrated internet personality who commands an audience of over 25MM and 28MM followers on his Instagram and TikTok platforms, respectively. The humorous short film pays homage to the ever popular psycho-horror genre, and marks Bach’s first foray into television commercial advertising.

 Getaway Driver is set to premiere on Tuesday, June 25th at 4:00 p.m. CT on the Toyota YouTube channel, and Bach himself will be on-hand as part of a live chat, simultaneously engaging with viewers and fans via the platform. “I’m thrilled about this unique opportunity to chat live and to engage real-time with my fans, as well as fans of cars and Toyota,” Bach says. “I am humbled to be able to partner with such a respected and high quality brand, and can’t wait for everyone to see the final video.”

The film’s 4.5-minute narrative opens with a panicked Bach making a desperate dash from a rundown, rural farmhouse in the woods, shrouded by night, with a chainsaw-wielding killer on his heels in hot pursuit. He has phoned a friend, saying simply, “I need to get away!,” and the friend promptly arrives to rescue him, just in time, at the wheel of the Corolla Hybrid Nightshade AWD.

As the duo pulls away, the friend hilariously begins to describe the features of the 138 hp, all-wheel drive Corolla Hybrid, swiftly navigating the winding country roads and hills as a group of friends try to reunite with him in a Corolla Cross Hybrid Nightshade. For the Toyota brand, the new film short represents a fresh approach, and a fun take for heightening the promotion of the popular nameplate.

“Sometimes, we all need to stretch and push boundaries and just have a little fun. I think this over‐the‐top, humor‐driven creative execution of Getaway Driver for the Corolla Hybrid Nightshade does just that,” said Jeff Buchanan, Vice President of Marketing and Communications. “The Corolla Hybrid is a fun‐to‐drive vehicle with a great design that offers excellent fuel economy, AWD, and of course, the quality and reliability that people expect when they buy a Toyota,” he adds.

SiriusXM® is a standard feature in all Toyota models sold in the Continental U.S., and Toyota customers receive a three-month subscription to SiriusXM® with the purchase of their vehicle that delivers SiriusXM®’s full lineup of exclusive and curated content, plus access to SiriusXM® outside the vehicles on the SiriusXM app.

Celebrating International Women in Engineering Day: Toyota Employees Reflect and Share Their Experiences in the Field

 It’s hard to imagine a world without engineers. They are a crucial element to society. After all, they are the ones responsible for designing, building, and creating systems that help solve problems and improve the quality of life for everyone on the planet.

At Toyota, there are engineers who help keep the wheels turning on vehicles that take customers on unforgettable journeys — and some of those engineers are women.

In celebration of International Women in Engineering Day, Toyota spoke with some female employees in the field to get their perspectives on what a typical day looks like and their advice to women who aspire to work in STEM-based careers and more.

A Love Affair With Technology

For Marsha Cantrell, an information systems manager at Toyota Alabama, studying a STEM discipline wasn’t her first choice in college. The Toyota veteran, who’s worked at the company for 15 years, changed her major in undergrad from psychology to information systems and never looked back.

“My experience in this field has been rewarding,” she says. “I love how dynamic and fast-paced technology is. It’s become more than just hardware and software. It’s a field that’s in the business of improving lives.”

Cantrell, a previous chair of the North American Advisory Council (NAAC) for the business partnering group Women Influencing and Impacting Toyota (WIIT) and the previous chair of Women in Manufacturing Alabama and currently sits on the board for GLAM (Girls Learning About Manufacturing), said it’s important to have more women in technology fields to inspire young girls to choose careers that enable them to help change the world with their innovative ideas.

“At Toyota, I see more women in IT, even at the executive level. And, from year to year, the ratio is improving,” she says.

Born To Break Boundaries 

Like Cantrell, Jennifer Landin, a pre-production planning analyst at Toyota Texas, also enjoys her career as an engineer.

“My upbringing shaped my perspective,” she said. “I’ve never perceived being a woman as an obstacle to opportunities. I learned to view all women as inherently strong, intelligent, and just as capable as men, without making comparisons.”

Landin says her STEM experience has been positive.

“Working at Toyota has been rewarding as I believe the company values and respects women for their unique qualities and skills,” she says.

Thrives on Challenges

Senior environmental engineer Rachel Parks has worked in the Environmental and Facilities Operations group at Toyota Mississippi for almost a decade. She said her career keeps her energized and motivated.

“I can honestly say that it’s been quite challenging,” Parks says. “There have been numerous instances where I find myself as the only woman or person of color in the room. However, these experiences have helped me cultivate immense strength and resilience.”

She says that she’s fueled and motivated by challenges and is grateful for Toyota’s commitment to diversity.

“Embracing diversity in backgrounds, race and gender fosters a richness of perspectives and ideas,” Parks says. “This inclusivity is what truly distinguishes Toyota as an outstanding company.”

It’s no secret that self-assuredness goes a long way. At least that’s been the case for Melissa Mathies, senior manager of Production Control Supply Chain.

However, confidence didn’t always come easily for Mathies, who’s worked at Toyota Kentucky for 24 years.

“I won’t lie, it can be terrifying when you walk into a meeting room and start to feel yourself sinking into this world of self-doubt,” she says. “Luckily, I had a mentor several years ago who helped me change my perspective on how I feel when I walk into those same meeting rooms today.”

Today, Mathies, whose typical day involves ensuring parts inventory levels are managed to support day-to-day production, enters meetings knowing that she’s an asset to the team whose ideas and contributions can help drive innovation forward.

“I now walk in knowing I belong because I’ve worked hard and earned my seat at the table,” she says. Mathies, who also acts as a liaison between manufacturing and suppliers, knows that her presence in those once intimidating rooms is meaningful and important for future generations.

She adds, “I’m proud to be in that meeting room and be that role model for other women who will follow in my footsteps.”

Keeping Up the Momentum 

Mathies and other Toyota female engineer employees all want the best for little girls who aspire to take similar career paths. One way to ensure that they have the best foundation is to continue to cultivate positive and supportive spaces where they can flourish. How does that sense of belonging become the norm? Parks thinks more female representation in STEM-based industries is one way.

“The greater the number of women visible in engineering, the greater the impact on young girls,” she says. “Seeing more women in engineering roles can instill the courage for them to explore and pursue this field, even if they haven’t been encouraged to do so before.”

Landin shares those sentiments and believes the key to a successful career regardless of industry is to abandon all self-doubts and stifling beliefs.

“Gender should never be an excuse to impose limits on ambitions,” she says. “Understanding one’s dreams and passions can open doors to leadership roles that may have seemed unimaginable for some women.” She adds, “I would stress the importance of striving for excellence, not uniquely because of one’s gender, but driven by personal desire and determination.”

Mathies agrees and advises young girls and women to create a plan and seek mentors and people who are willing to help along the way.

“Find someone who inspires you and exemplifies the characteristics you want to see in yourself when you look in the mirror,” she says. “See yourself in the position or career you want and build a plan to get there. You don’t have to do this alone.”

A Sanctuary on the Road
For customers who seek premium experiences in a vehicle, keeping unwanted noise out is paramount. The 2025 Toyota Crown Signia’s cabin brings that priority quietly home. Rather than simply aiming at a “numbers” goal for sound level (decibels), Toyota engineers created a calm atmosphere conducive to enjoying easy conversation or hearing music in cleaner detail. The Toyota Crown Signia is assembled at the Tsutsumi Plant in Aichi, Japan and uses the same TNGA-K platform that underpins the Crown sedan.

The high-strength TNGA-K platform is the first defense against noise intrusion, curbing vibration through the steering, floor and structure. Suspension tuning resists road surface disturbances and tire noise is reduced via strategically placed insulation and thoughtful tire/wheel construction. Engineers also undertook extensive analysis of noise transmission paths and filled spaces around door frames, window openings and wiring harnesses for enhanced cabin quietness. Even the inner rocker and bulkhead are connected with adhesive to minimize noise.

The Toyota Crown Signia also uses acoustic glass on the front driver and passenger side windows to minimize noise in the cabin. Insulation and body sealing material are placed throughout the structure, between the engine bay and cabin, under the carpeting and above the headliner for additional sound-deadening. The materials and their placement were optimized to minimize noise in the frequencies that typically interfere with conversation.

The Signature Hybrid
The 2025 Crown Signia is equipped with the Toyota Hybrid System (THS), standard. This system’s primary components include a 2.5-liter DOHC four-cylinder engine, a hybrid transaxle, and a bi-polar Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery. All these systems work together, using a combination of a gas engine and electric motors to drive the vehicle’s wheels for a balance of optimum power and fuel efficiency, depending on the driving conditions.

The hybrid transaxle houses four components: two electric motor-generators (MG1 and MG2); a single planetary gear; and a reduction gear to the final drive. MG1 serves primarily as a generator, driven by the gasoline engine, and provides a charge to hybrid battery. It also serves as the engine’s starter motor. MG2 drives the front wheels alone or in tandem with the internal combustion engine as needed. MG2 also acts as a generator, recovering kinetic energy when coasting or braking and converting it to electrical charge for the battery. In certain conditions, MG2 can also power the vehicle in full electric (EV) mode at low speeds.

The Crown Signia’s 230.4V bi-polar NiMH traction battery has a capacity of 5.0 Ahr and stores electricity for use by the motor generators. The battery is a compact unit that is located entirely beneath the rear seats, avoiding any intrusion in the rear cargo area. Its bi-polar construction helps reduce the overall battery size and weight, and benefits performance, since bipolar electrodes minimize the internal electrical resistance.

The 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine uses variable valve timing to utilize the efficiency of Atkinson cycle operation. This timing provides a shorter compression stroke and longer power stroke, resulting in excellent fuel efficiency and low emissions. The engine turns MG1 to charge the battery and provides power to the front wheels alongside MG2. Pairing this engine with Crown Signia’s standard electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission provides exceptionally smooth, shift-free power delivery.

Crown Signia also comes standard with selectable NORMAL, ECO and SPORT driving modes that let the driver tailor drivetrain performance. SPORT mode sharpens throttle response, enhancing the fun-to-drive experience. ECO mode changes the throttle and climate control logic to maximize efficiency, while NORMAL mode is ideal for everyday driving. Additionally, an EV (Electric Vehicle) mode allows electric-only driving at low speeds for short distances.

Overall, the Toyota Hybrid System delivers an EPA-estimated 39/37/38 MPG (city/highway/combined) rating and the Crown Signia can go from zero to 60 MPH in 7.1 seconds.

Elevated Handling with Standard AWD
The Toyota Crown Signia delivers the best of both worlds: sedan-like driving comfort and SUV versatility. It has a 6.7-inch ground clearance, 74-inch overall width, and 112.2-inch wheelbase for a firmly planted, car-like feel. The 25.8-inch hip point gives it a lifted seating position for easy ingress and egress and an elevated view of the road.

Equipped with Toyota’s electronic On-Demand AWD standard, the Crown Signia’s AWD system takes maximum advantage of the hybrid powertrain’s benefits while also being capable of towing up to 2,700 pounds.

Instead of using a transfer case and driveshaft to send power to the rear wheels, the AWD system employs a separate rear-mounted electric motor (MGR) to send power to the rear wheels when needed, like when cornering or in slippery conditions. The front and rear wheel driving force distribution is precisely controlled between 100:0 and 20:80, for enhanced fuel efficiency and comfortable driving performance. MGR not only provides power to the rear wheels but can also deliver power proactively in ideal conditions to improve driving dynamics and act as a generator, providing charge to the Hybrid battery when coasting or braking.

A blend of lightweight, high-strength materials support rigidity, like a ring frame structure in the rear, a combination of plate spot and laser welds on the body, and the use of structural adhesive throughout the frame. The steering gearbox is mounted directly to the suspension cross member for a direct steering feel that minimizes line correction. Aero-stabilizing underbody panels with a “stepped” texture help control airflow under the vehicle a firmly planted ride.

Toyota Crown Signia’s suspension consists of a MacPherson-type strut in the front and multilink rear suspension. Toyota engineers focused on reducing vibrations felt by the driver and passengers and have equipped Crown Signia’s suspension with swing valve shock absorbers, a soft suspension bushing, and a dynamic damper on the front suspension. Polyurethane coated coil springs in the front help provide a smooth ride and high-damping structural adhesive on the body and reinforced seat mounting points reduces shake generated by the road.

Toyota Crown Signia’s handling is bolstered by an electronically controlled brake system featuring Active Cornering Assist, which engages the stability control to reduce understeer in certain cornering situations, so the driver feels the enhanced agility, not the system’s operation.

Creature Comfort for All

Toyota Crown Signia keeps drivers and passengers plugged-in when it comes to charging devices. A vertical wireless Qi charger with charge indicator in the middle console holds a device in place while charging and maximizes space. There are also three USB-C and a 12V charging port for use in the front seat, standard. For rear seat passengers, two USB-Type C ports are standard.

The front seat cup holder is designed with everyday functionality in mind. Its recessed design helps prevent drinks from spilling over to the shifter side and there is also a partition in the middle of the cup holder, maximizing its utility to fit long items like phones, tablets, and wallets. Bottle holders add storage on the front doors, along with one water bottle holder on each rear door.

In the rear, passengers will enjoy the comfort and convenience of dedicated air vents, two cup holders, a rear bottle holder, and seatback pockets standard. Cargo space is abundant on Crown Signia with a rear deck that’s made for an active lifestyle, including a tonneau cover and aluminum scuff plate.

When there is a need for more room, the Crown Signia’s 60/40 second-row fold-flat seats with extension panel are ready to accommodate cargo needs. Once folded flat, the cargo area becomes a six-and-a-half-foot long storage area, ready to accommodate items like skis, golf clubs, or luggage. The rear power liftgate allows for hands-free operation, and an easy-to-use rear seat release can be accessed from rear liftgate opening.
