Here are the global automotive recalls for the month of September 2019.
We love grand tourers. They have the perfect balance of excitement and practicality. We owned a big brash third-generation Toyota Supra (the one before the Farce & Furious hero car) about a decade ago, and it had immense road presence as well as the ability to carry four people in a pinch. From that we moved on to a Jaguar XK, and even considered an old Bentley Continental GT at some point. But the 2020 Toyota Supra is not a grand tourer. It’s a full-blown sports car.
If you’re wondering why we don’t talk about our 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser any more, it’s because we sold it last year to a reader. And what a great car it was. Let’s take a final look at the running costs.
The all-new 2020 Toyota Corolla has been revealed in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and other GCC countries. A new hybrid engine has joined the line-up. It is built on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform, giving it a lower centre of gravity, 60% more rigid body shell and multi-link suspension which Toyota claims improves handling and stability.
The Toyota Hiace needs no introduction. The van which ferries people and cargo in unnecessary haste is a ubiquitous sight in the Middle East. Introduced first in 1967, this trusty people mover enters its 6th generation with the unveiling of 2019 Toyota Hiace, which seems to be more safety-conscious than the tin can that was peddled so far.
The all-new Toyota RAV-4 has released in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, and should release in the rest of the GCC in the next few days. The UAE and KSA get different base engines, while a hybrid RAV-4 model has been introduced in the line-up for the first time.
Toyota introduced the all-new Hiace in the Philippines recently. Featuring a completely new design, the latest model of the commercial van is said to be more comfortable and safer than the previous generation.
The Toyota Land Cruiser has been around for the last 60 years. During these years, Toyota’s SUV garnered a bulletproof reputation, unlike any other SUV, especially in the Middle East. So, to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of their trusty off-roader, Toyota debuts the 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Edition, at least in the United States market.
With the FT-1 concept from 2016 as the base for its design, the 2020 Toyota Supra marks the resurrection of one of the most iconic JDM nameplates to be slapped on to a car. The rumours about the re-entry of the Supra has been floating around on the web for about a decade now. With the covers finally off and the spotlights shining on it, the 2020 Supra has put an end to it.
A couple of photos of the highly anticipated 2020 Toyota Supra has made its way online ahead of its January 14th launch at the 2019 Detroit Auto Show.
