Toyota Motor Thailand (TMT) will be introducing four new hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) in the country this year, announced its President, Noriaki Yamashita at the ongoing 44th Bangkok International Motor Show (BIMS) 2023. "I want to share the good news that we will introduce 4 new HEV models in this year. They [will] meet the variety of Thai customers' needs further.

The Toyota Avanza is long due for a replacement yet it is still printing money for Toyota with the model being among Indonesia’s best-selling cars of 2021. Still, the all-new Avanza which will switch from rear-wheel-drive (RWD) to front-wheel-drive (FWD), is due to be launched as early as November and already there is a rendering of what it could look like.

The Toyota RAV4 has been awarded the highest rating in JNCAP’s assessment in preventive safety performance, plus a full five stars in collision safety performance (ASV+++).

It's an appealing driver's car Significantly improved compared to the previous version But how does it compare to the Myvi? No one expected that when Perodua introduced the Perodua Myvi, it would be the default choice for young and old buyers alike. Since its introduction in 2005, more than 1 million units of the Perodua Myvi rolled off the production floors.
