A spokesman told Automotive News Europe that BMW will be producing electric hatchbacks and a small SUV in China through its partnership with Great Wall Motor. As such, the company will cease production of electric versions of MINI hatchbacks in the UK. In 2019, Great Wall Motor and the BMW Group announced the launch of their joint venture, Spotlight Automotive Limited to build a plant in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu province. BMW said that it would start making electric MINIs at the new plant starting

What we know as the all-new 2022 Honda HR-V has made its official debut in China however, it will be known by its Japanese name, the Honda Vezel instead. The model will be sold by Guangqi Honda, one of two joint ventures Honda has in China. In case you get confused, in China, the HR-V and the Vezel are marketed as different models as they are sold by different JVs, the HR-V namesake is sold by Dongfeng Honda and is based on the Honda Civic. But we’re focused on the Vezel in this article, so we w

“Is that a Supra?” Yes it is and it’s driven by Sanae Takaichi, who lost her bid to become Japan’s first female Prime Minister last year but definitely earned a whole legion of new fans when it became apparent that one of Japan’s most powerful women owns a 1991 Toyota Supra 2.5GT Twin-Turbo Limited from new. Now officially one of the coolest women in politics, Takaichi has been kept busy helping run the country for the past decade. No doubt her role as the Minister for Internal Affairs and Commu

You would think that newer is better, and conventional wisdom suggests that consumers will avoid an ageing model to buy the latest model on the market. That’s usually true but there are some models that buck the trend, mostly because these cars appeal to a very pragmatic group users and for them, new equals unproven. The above describes buyers of the Honda BR-V, which has been on the market since 2017 and little has changed throughout its model life. Even though an all-new model has already been

If you’ve been to Legoland, one of the most appealing attractions is definitely the scaled-down recreation of famous landmarks made entirely of the ubiquitous plastic bricks. Though the company has produced a few scaled down models of actual cars you can build at home, this life-size recreation of the Toyota GR Supra is not one of them. In commemoration of the Supra’s 35th anniversary (Excluding the Celica-based variants which came before), Toyota Gazoo Racing and Legoland Japan collaborated to
