Toyota’s plans to slowly electrify its model lineup are coming together with more information about the possible specifications for the upcoming Toyota Fortuner hybrid being released. Reports have indicated that the Fortuner hybrid will still use its 2.8-liter turbodiesel engine, but will be combined with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system.

Toyota Australia unveiled the 2023 Hilux GR Sport on Jan. 6, 2023, and it is the new flagship of the Hilux range “Down Under.” Not just for show Compared to the GR-S, the Hilux GR Sport looks like it can d

Mazda always amazes me with their stunning exterior designs as I have also never seen a model of theirs that isn’t good-looking. I have asked myself before, “Is Mazda a luxury car?” as the brand was already registered as a pretty model in my head. Its car models are always sophisticated and elegant-looking as if they were for executives and celebrities.

The all-new 2022 Ford Ranger has broke cover in Thailand. Charged as the littler kin of the Passage F-150, the Officer presently brags a striking modern plan, upgraded stage as well as new powerplant choices for certain markets. Although its a new-generation model, the 2022 Ranger is underpinned by a modified platform of the outgoing Ford Ranger.
