Finally...the all-new 2024 Toyota Camry (XV80) has made its global debut moments ago at the annual LA Auto Show in California. The expansive event – which uses 760,000 square feet of exhibition space – also saw the introduction of a new Crown SUV variant. But anyway, on with the Camry.

This 11-seater MPV is currently fully-imported (CBU from Korea) with local assembly plans starting later

By now, you would’ve realized that Proton is setting itself up to launch its third SUV in a row – the 2022 Proton X90. And no, Proton is not launching a new MPV model anytime soon but before you remind us about the Geely VF11 (Geely Jiaji) mentioned in the 2018 agreement with Proton, note that the model sharing agreement signed in 2018 has already expired on 31-December 2020. It is safe to say that the Geely Jiaji (Proton V70?), once touted as a more upmarket successor to the Proton Exora, is no

Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN) and Toyota Astra Motor (TAM) have donated five Toyota Innova ambulances to the Indonesia Red Cross (PMI). These Toyota Innova ambulances are fitted with all the necessary life-saving equipment, including an easy-to-operate entry and exit system, a fixed oxygen system, as well as various storage spaces for storing medical equipment.
