Thailand’s 10-hour Idemitsu Super Endurance Southeast Asia Trophy is our region’s most interesting race you’ve never heard of. Think of it as the Thai version of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, but with familiar B/C segment cars – regular cars that make up our region’s motoring landscape. Once again, Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda participated under his ‘Morizo’ pseudonym. He raced under his self-funded ORC Rookie Racing Team, in the same modified Toyota GR Corolla that burns hydrogen instead of petrol. O

One year after signing a deal with Thailand’s Charoen Pokphand Group (CP) - one of the world’s largest food companies – to generate hydrogen from waste collected from the CP Group’s chicken farms, Toyota will now demonstrate its practical approach to carbon neutrality by racing a hydrogen-burning internal combustion engine Toyota GR Corolla. Unlike the fuel-cell electric Toyota Mirai that combines hydrogen with oxygen to generate electricity to power the car’s drive motor, this GR Corolla retain

Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has unveiled a prototype of a Toyota Innova Hycross (known as the Innova Zenix in Malaysia) that runs on an electrified biofuel powertrain, earning it the Strong Hybrid Electrified Vehicle (SHEV) suffix. The MPV will run on ethanol, that can either be derived from sugarcane and food grain, or plant waste and residues that would've otherwise be disposed. Paired to that is a hybrid system which runs off a ~1.3 - 1.5 kWhr lithium-ion battery. Output wasn't shared just y

With prices of new cars increasing and demand also on the rise, plenty of hustlers are trying to make some profit by pricing their nearly-new purchases above the market price to get some willing buyers who will pay for anything just to get off a waiting list. Toyota Australia realises the existence of these price-gouging profiteers and is putting a stop to it for its most desirable model, the Toyota GR Corolla. The GR Corolla was just launched in Australia fairly recently and it is limited to ju

It’s gonna be a busy week for renderers especially in Indonesia as Toyota Indonesia dropped the first teaser of the highly anticipated all-new third-generation 2023 Toyota Innova on its website and social media platforms. Described as “the next prestigious crossover”, the post shows the next-gen Innova’s front end, especially the grille and headlights. We tried to bump up the brightness with a little bit of Photoshop magic and as seen in the cover photo, it is a modern-looking crossover. The tra

Mercedes-Benz User Experience, or MBUX for short, is the company’s latest and greatest infotainment to date. How so? For starters, you can speak to the infotainment system, issuing commands like “Hey Mercedes, I’m feeling warm” and the car would then lower the air-conditioning temperature. All these can be done without the driver touching the air-conditioning controls. This is made possible by Linguatronic, Mercedes-Benz’s own ‘Siri’ voice command system. Then there’s the completely revamped use
