Audi will begin culling internal combustion-powered vehicles from its lineup this year with the sunsetting of its low-volume sport coupes, the TT and R8, while it continues to expand its electric vehicle offerings as the premium brand transitions to an EV-exclusive lineup by 2033. Audi, part of Volkswagen Group, says it will end development of
SALT LAKE CITY — Toyota‘s venerated Land Cruiser nameplate rejoins the brand’s U.S. lineup next year in a trimmed-down and less-expensive form much closer to the off-roader’s roots than its bloated predecessor, which had evolved to overlap similar body-on-frame Lexus models. The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser will be smaller, more nimble and equipped with a
Toyota will see several new nameplates and a widening of the brand’s collection of crossovers in the next four years, including new battery-electric offerings, while it also finishes the redesign of its body-on-frame vehicles. Led by the return of the Land Cruiser nameplate — albeit on a different vehicle — after a three-year absence, the
If the world is indeed throwing an electric vehicle party, it’s pretty clear by now that someone forgot to invite most of Japan. While Nissan pioneered the segment with the Leaf and Toyota had a short-lived dalliance with Tesla almost a decade ago, most of the largest Japanese brands find themselves lagging behind in the
Lexus’ transition to a full-electric brand in North America began this year with the RZ450e. But the transition to the company’s 2035 target date isn’t expected to pick up steam until at least 2025, when a second electric vehicle, an ES-size sedan, is due. Toyota Motor Corp. has committed Lexus to have an EV in
Subaru is resurrecting the top-level tS trim on the 2024 BRZ coupe early next year with an improved tuned suspension and high-performance brakes. The brand’s EyeSight driver-assistance features will be standard, marking the first time on a model equipped with a manual transmission. The Japanese brand first showed the 2024 BRZ tS at an enthusiast
Like many of you, I’ve been struggling of late to wrap my head around this nation’s EV market and where it’s heading. The latest registration data from Experian hasn’t made it any easier to ascertain. But if I had to guess, I think what we are seeing is an unnatural market, instead of just an
Toyota‘s first wheels-up redesign of its Tacoma midsize pickup in 14 years will arrive in dealerships this fall with more than double the factory-authorized accessories as the previous generation. But a multiyear push by the Japanese automaker to install accessories on the assembly line to gain efficiencies and save original parts may reduce accessory-related service
WOODSTOCK, N.Y. — Consumers won’t be able to see the biggest upgrade to the reengineered 2024 Volkswagen Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport, but it’s powerful enough to create a big storage space right in the middle of the center console. For the coming model year, the three-row Atlas crossover and its two-row Cross Sport sibling
et’s state this upfront: No one at the Detroit 3 or the UAW truly knows right now how this year’s contract talks will play out. But things could get really, really interesting if the UAW reimplements a temporary change in union rules from 2019 that — coupled with the severe worker shortage now roiling the
