Toyota unveiled two new forthcoming EVs today at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show. The bZ3C and bZ3X should begin sales within the next year.
These are the two next battery-electric vehicles that Toyota will sell in China. They are dubbed the bZ3C and bZ3X and have debuted at the ongoing Beijing Auto Show.Toyota previewed these two models at China’s most important auto show last year but back then, they were concepts known as the bZ Sport Crossover Concept and bZ FlexSpace Concept. The production versions are very similar to these concepts and Toyota intends on selling both in the Chinese market within the next year.Read: Toyota Chief Believes EVs Can Only Capture 30% Of Future Auto MarketGiven that China is currently the world’s most important battery-electric vehicle market, one would have expected Toyota to drop a whole bunch of details and specifications about the bZ3C and bZ3X but at the time of writing, it hadn’t done so.
The sixth-gen 4Runner has officially arrived after 15 years, and Toyota has done its homework to tickle the hearts and minds of fans who have been clamoring for a modern-day update to the automaker’s much-loved family SUV. It starts with the TNGA-F platform shared with the Tacoma, Land Cruiser, Tundra, and Sequoia. The architecture features a high-strength boxed, steel-ladder frame suspended by double wishbones in the front and a multi-link coil rear suspension. The retro-flavored body style has a mishmash of legacy 4Runner design cues and equipment, like “wrap-over” rear quarter glass, a power-operated roll-down rear window, and second-row tumble seats to maximize cargo room. 2025 Toyota 4Runner Powertrain Under the hood of the SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, and Limited grade is a 2.4-liter turbocharged
The 2024 Tacoma is a significant truck, not just for Toyota, but for the segment overall. It marks the debut of the first mid-size hybrid pickup in the U.S. market, potentially signaling the end of having to choose between capability and fuel economy.
SAN DIEGO — The 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro presents a lot of things to talk about, but No. 1 has to be the seats, right? In case you haven’t seen them, the “IsoDynamic” seats in the new TRD Pro have two red shocks on the back, complete with little pressure gauges, in a serious-looking frame with carbon trim and exposed hex bolts. They look incredibly cool; I can totally see someone paying extra for the TRD Pro just to have a truck with seats that look like that. But, they’re a gimmick, right? How much can they possibly do?
Excited for the all-new 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser? We are too. This is a profoundly different SUV than the last Land Cruiser, for better and for worse. It’s a lot cheaper, for one, but that’s because it’s a smaller, less sophisticated off-roader that may indeed be less likely to survive 30 years of hard life somewhere in the Sahara. For suburban America, the new one should probably be A-OK. It’s still a Toyota after all.
Toyota has been slower than most jumping into the EV game, but its approach has looked more competent than most others’ as time has progressed. That said, the Japanese automaker isn’t ditching electric vehicles, and a new report from CarBuzz suggests that one of its most popular family haulers could be going electric soon.
Six years after its introduction, Toyota is providing a major refresh for the eighth-generation Camry. Included with it is a new exterior design, a huge revamp of the cabin, and the demise of any engine from the 2024 model year that wasn’t electrified – including the V6. Each of those updates is important on its own merit.
