The Toyota Prius is not a car that you would associate with motorsports. When it was introduced in 1997, car enthusiasts made fun of the slow hybrid. Who would’ve expected that 26 years later, I am at Southeast Asia’s most popular racetrack, the Chang International Circuit in Buriram, Thailand, being heckled and mobbed by fans clamouring to take a photo with the 67-year old chairman of Toyota posing next to a Prius. Jeremy Clarkson would’ve called this “Bollocks.” He is not Chairman Akio Toyoda.

Electricity generation - more than 80 percent of it coming from fossil fuels – are the biggest source of carbon emissions in Malaysia, responsible for 39 percent of total carbon dioxide (CO2) emission. Cars and other land transport vehicles emit just slightly more than half as much CO2 as power plants. So the argument about phasing out internal combustion engines and skipping hybrids - which critics say still use combustion engines and therefore delay BEV migration – is the best way to reduce ca

If you've been following our website, you'll know that the 2021 Toyota Vios facelift will bring with it a new variant - the Vios GR Sport. To most of us, a Vios with Gazoo Racing touches is a bit of a surprise. But that's happening, so it isn't too far-fetched to expect the 2021 Toyota Corolla Altis GR Sport in Malaysia too, since Thailand already has that model on sale. Drawing inspiration from Toyota's performance-oriented GR models, the Thai-spec Corolla Altis GR Sport gets significant aesthe

Back in 2016, the Toyota Hilux made headlines when it tipped on two wheels while undergoing a so-called ‘moose test’ conducted by Swedish automotive media Teknikens Varld. This is the second time the Toyota Hilux has failed the test, as the previous generation Toyota Hilux also had the same problem. In September 2019, Teknikens Varld repeated the same test with the latest Toyota RAV4, and the results weren’t very good either. So what’s wrong with Toyota cars? But first, what is a moose test? Swe
