Our first test with the new edition of the bestseller Whether a person is a fan of the Toyota Corolla or vice versa, there is no doubt that this model is important for the global industry. Because it is the best-selling model in history. Even before the twelfth generation Corolla hit the market, over 45 million units of its predecessors had been sold. The fact is that each edition of the Japanese compact model is a completely different product, so if we have to take a closer look at the question of which car is the best-selling car in history, the prize could be awarded to the “tortoise”. “About VW, because in all the decades of its production it has not changed dramatically either in design or in technology. However, in…

Toyota to undergo a partial refurbishment of its mid-range model. First impressions. The current generation Toyota Avensis has been on the market since 2009, but it looks like Toyota continues to rely on it to achieve more than a decent mid-range market share in a number of European markets, including our country. In 2011, the car went through its first facelift, and in the middle of last year it was time for a second overhaul. Stronger Radiance Even for those less experienced in the automotive field, reviewers will have no trouble distinguishing the updated model from its predecessors – the front end has the signature Auris sharpness, with a small grille and drained headlights. Combined with completely…

Behind the façade of the practical RAV4 Hybrid lies the technology of the Lexus NX300h. Recently, the fourth generation Toyota RAV4 has undergone a partial overhaul, during which the model received some stylistic changes, the most significant of which are a radically changed front end layout. The interior of the car is also presented in an updated form - with softer surfaces and redesigned controls. Thanks to Toyota Safety Sense, the RAV4 now boasts automatic high beams, traffic sign recognition, lane change assistant, adaptive cruise control and a collision avoidance system that can stop the car in the event of an imminent danger. However, perhaps the most interesting new feature is how Toyota has reprioritized the RAV4's range of drive options. In the future, their SUV will be…

We present you the first model of the Japanese company, equipped with a motorcycle with a Bavarian start. There is definitely logic in Toyota's decision to start supplying diesel units from BMW - the Japanese manufacturer intends to focus its efforts on improving its traditional strengths, such as the development of gasoline and hybrid technologies, and diesels will rely on one of the proven leaders in this area. However, as a general rule in Japanese, the first step in a new endeavor is small, elaborate, and not at all confident. The role of the pioneer of diesel cooperation between BMW and Toyota fell to the well-known seven-seat Verso family model, under the hood of which a 1,6-liter self-igniting engine with 112 hp was recently found. and 270 Nm inherited a two-liter unit with a capacity of 124 ...

The GT 86 brings liveliness to the Toyota range and is reminiscent of a time when certain brand names had iconic status. Can the new model bring back the former glory of its famous ancestors? I admit that in recent years I've been more interested in Toyota's hybrid technologies and issues such as the energy cycle of both electric cars and internal combustion engines. Moreover, recently I had a chance to personally talk with some of the creators of these systems. But now - here I am driving something that does not have the letter "H" in its abbreviation in any form. Neither separately nor as part of other words. This time, the GT 86 combination - the first two letters succinctly express the character of the car, ...

Toyota Land Cruiser is a cult car for Russia. In our country, this SUV has been considered a symbol of success since the 90s of the last century. It is often used both as an escort car, and as a vehicle for transporting high officials, and as personal transport. At the height of the crisis in March this year, the Land Cruiser 200 entered the top 25 best-selling models on the Russian market. And that's starting at $39. To get a feel for what's special about this bulky SUV, we've given it to people with different driving habits. Aleksey Butenko, 450, drives a Volkswagen Scirocco Something is wrong with this 32. I shamefully overslept the new restyling? No, everything seems to be in place. Bypassed…

In the Old World, they don't know about the big Japanese crossover. But there it would actually be very useful ... What is good for a Russian is uneconomical for a European. Liter turbo engines, Euro-6 diesels, manual transmissions on business sedans - if we heard about all this, it was mainly from the stories of friends who drove rental cars in Germany. Europeans, in turn, do not know what an SUV is in a metropolis, huge gasoline engines and fuel for 60 cents. Even in the Old World, they have not heard of the Toyota Highlander, a large crossover that is sold in our database with front-wheel drive and a long list of standard equipment. An SUV atypical for Europe would actually come in handy there. German Toyota configurator…

First impressions of the trio's boldest-looking member, the Toyota Aygo Even a cursory glance at the new Toyota Aygo is enough to make one thing clear: it's one of those cars you either like or don't like, finding a sweet spot is almost impossible. The stylized X element dominates the layout of a number of key elements - the front of the body, the rear of the car and even the center console. From any point of view, the baby looks defiant, interesting and definitely different from everything that we are used to seeing in the segment of small urban models. The customization options are also impressively rich - the Toyota Aygo can be ordered in six versions, each with its own distinctive stylistic accents. This time around, Toyota deserves admiration for being brave…

In the era of universal fashion for crossovers, Toyota brought to Russia another honest frame SUV. Is he tempting fate or hitting right on target again? Thin ice crunched under the jagged wheels, and muddy water began to rise from under it. For a second there was a desire to stick "R" and pass back. Who knows how deep it is and what's at the bottom? However, curiosity took over. I added gas, leaving the "automatic" lever in "Drive", and began to storm the reservoir. In the end, I should have been lucky, because I was driving an SUV with the telling name Fortuner. Moreover, half an hour ago, he easily crossed the beds of small steppe rivers. The main thing is that the depth of this pond, lost in a small ...
