Next year, selected markets in Southeast Asia will launch a new hybrid variant of the 2024 Toyota Hilux. Unlike the electrified Hilux that was announced for Europe earlier this month, our region’s Hilux hybrid will have two more forward ratios, courtesy of a new 8-speed automatic transmission. We had the opportunity (albeit a very brief one) to drive the new 2024 Toyota Hilux hybrid in Thailand recently. The car is still a prototype and the final specifications have yet to be revealed.

Though it has been nearly ten years since the current generation of the Mitsubishi Triton is introduced; Mitsubishi has given it numerous facelifts and updates.

Kia has teased the brand’s fourth-generation Kia Carnival flagship minivan today. Released in Korean specification, the all-new Carnival will be sold in many markets worldwide as the Kia Sedona. So far, we think it looks a bit like the new Kia Seltos. The Carnival aims to appeal to progressive young families with its combination of innovation, flexibility, and style.

Last week, we reported that Ford is working together with Volkswagen to develop the next-generation Ranger and Amarok, which are set to debut in late-2022. Apart from the technical bits, renders of the new 2022 Ford Ranger have surfaced. These renders, according to the source, are based on Ford’s final clay model of both the Ranger and Everest, which could be indicative of how the duo could look like.
