Over 3.7 million online viewers witnessed an exciting weekend of night racing at the Sepang International Circuit during last weekend's Round 2 of the Toyota Gazoo Racing Vios Challenge. Race 2 was particularly intense as competitors from all four classes battled for championship points, as the competition for the overall titles in the Super Sporting, Sporting, Rookie, and Promotional classes remains wide open, with the final round scheduled for September. In Race 2 of the Sporting Class, Kennet

Here goes the all-new 2022 Toyota Vios on its worldwide adventure, and this week it landed in the hot scapes of Saudi Arabia (sold there as the Yaris); replacing its long-overdue predecessor and to refresh the fight against the Honda City and Nissan Almera. Though safety and creature comfort kits differ among the three variants (Y, Y Plus, YX), but what unifies the variants are the shared 1.3-litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine (1NR-VE, same as in our Perodua Myvi 1.3) – good for 97 P

Just yesterday, Hotai Motor, the official distributor of Toyota vehicles in Taiwan, launched the new Toyota Corolla Cross GR-Sport.

On paper, the Toyota C-HR is extremely underwhelming and frankly unappetizing. Halogen projectors, 17-inch wheels, 1.8-litre naturally aspirated DVVT-I with measly 140 PS & 171 Nm just doesn’t quite fit the bill of a RM 150,000 SUV.
