The Toyota Land Cruiser J70 series has been on the market for 39 years and has steadily received upgrades to keep it up-to-date and modern. While it officially exited other markets in 1990 when the new Land Cruiser J80 came along, other places such as Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand have kept the SUV alive and on sale. The last update to the J70 series Land Cruiser was in 2007 when it received the 1VD-FTV, a 4.5-liter turbodiesel V8 engine. The new engine gave the SUV 205 horsepower and

The R35 Nissan GT-R is a bit of a miracle in the automotive world – it’s been around for over 15 years.

The all-electric sport-utility vehicle (SUV) is poised to take on established luxury marques like Land Rover and Mercedes-Benz with its ladder-frame chassis and four electric motors. Each motor powers one wheel for a combined output of 1,115 PS and over 1,627 Nm of torque. This means the enormous U8 can do 0 to 100 km/h in just three seconds. YangWang said the SUV a

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. When I saw the BT-50 pickup truck, it was as good-looking as its other sibling sedan models. I wondered if it can perform beastly like its compe

Great! We have expected a lot from Toyota this year. There's the new improved Rush, Gazoo Racing Yaris, and now... this! We have been promised many surprises for the upcoming updates but nothing has yet to beat this surprise! A crossover between Toyota's best selling sedan, Corolla with SUV functions. Wow! Who knew Toyota was this crazy, huh? The man who supervised this project, Daizo Kameyama said the concept for this project is "Corolla meets SUV" (I know, it’s where the title came from) where
