Yes, you read it right. It is a Yaris, with power figures of a combined 420 hp that could very well take on a V8 Mustang. But don’t get too jumpy yet, because this machine is just a hybrid concept which is coupled with a 1.6-litre 4-cylinder. The Toyota Yaris Hybrid-R debuted at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.
There we were, a Ford Raptor in our parking lot, and the only logical thing to do was to venture into the desert wilderness. So we were on the lookout for a rental 4×4 as a backup vehicle for desert-testing something as big as a tank, in case it needed to get pulled out! While we were looking for nothing less than a powerful V6 at least, we ended up with a 2013 Toyota Fortuner 2.7, thanks to the ridiculously ill-informed staff of an international rental agency.
Several pictures of the facelifted version of the 2014 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado have been made its way into the internet, just before the launch of the 2014 Lexus GX460, with which it shares its platform and several other bits. The pictures first surfaced on a Russian Land Cruiser Club forum.
The Hilux was always invincible. So much that, it is still one of the best selling pickup trucks in the GCC and it only seems odd that Toyota is adding the name to the vehicle now.
Al Futtaim Motors is planning to sell the 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser Platinum Edition in the UAE, starting this Ramadan. It will be a limited edition model, with only 200 vehicles to be sold.
The 2014 Toyota Corolla is all-new from the ground up, and soon after the debut of the North American version, the European version has a photo debut as well.
The latest iteration of the best-selling car in the world, the Toyota Corolla, has been revealed, at least in American-spec form.
One of the comments we keep hearing from the general public is how the Toyota Avalon should now be redundant, considering there is the Toyota Aurion on one end and the Lexus ES on the other end. We, for one, believe that it does have a spot in Toyota’s line-up, and that is to fit exactly between those two aforementioned cars, both in terms of price and size. It’s not rocket science to figure that out. Incidentally, Toyota shipped in their chief engineer for the Toyota Avalon to Dubai straight from the United States to talk to the press about the car.
Toyota has officially revealed the updated version of the 2014 4Runner at the 2013 ‘Stagecoach Music Festival’ near Palm Springs, California. Toyota also happens to be the title sponsor at the festival, and claims that this is the first-ever global reveal of a new automobile at a major music festival, like it matters.
Carmakers share so many standardised parts due to having common parts suppliers nowadays that if one of these bits turn out to be faulty, several unrelated car brands are affected. Such is the case with the latest mass recall of 3.4 million vehicles produced by four unrelated Japanese carmakers between 2000 and 2004 for faulty airbags produced by parts-supplier Takata Corp. Information is also emerging that General Motors and BMW may also be affected.
