We can never be too sure, but if this turns out to be the next Mitsubishi Outlander, we wouldn’t be surprised. But for now, it’s given a clichéd boring nickname; the XR-PHEV. In any case, this is one of Mitsubishi’s offerings at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show this year.
Nissan revealed a range of vehicles at the 2013 Dubai Motor Show, with the most notable being the new facelifted Nissan Patrol, the Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid, and the Nissan Smart Hybrid Taxi.
Yes, you read it right. It is a Yaris, with power figures of a combined 420 hp that could very well take on a V8 Mustang. But don’t get too jumpy yet, because this machine is just a hybrid concept which is coupled with a 1.6-litre 4-cylinder. The Toyota Yaris Hybrid-R debuted at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.
In a twist of events, Range Rover will be unveiling hybrid versions of two of their flagships — the Range Rover and the Sport models. The duo will be making its first appearance at the Frankfurt Motor Show in the coming weeks.
The new 2013 Toyota Prius has been launched at this year’s Saudi International Motor Show in Jeddah.
Jaguar had proudly announced some time ago that they were going to put their Jaguar C-X75 supercar concept into limited production. It turns out they’ve changed their mind.
Truth be told, we weren’t fans of the Lexus GS 350 we drove earlier this year. It’s a solid luxury car and all, but it lacked a certain yaarrrrgghhh in its character, which made it look as dull as the BMWs and Mercs it’s trying to compete with. But then we got this one, a Lexus GS 450h, the hybrid version of that same car. Only this time, it has the F-Sport kit.
We kind of weren’t interested in testing this one. We’ve driven the Lexus RX 350 several times before, and while it’s a great car, it isn’t the kind of car you look forward to, especially since we’re trying to take a break from testing cars at the moment. Ah, but this is the RX 450h, the hybrid version of the luxury mommy-mobile. For some reason, we had visions of the slowpoke CT 200h in our minds when this RX was home-delivered to us, but we assumed wrong.
As one of the most successful cars of all time, Honda’s designers surely have gone through a dangerous phase designing the new Accord, not only because there is pressure from past and current owners who expect to be impressed, but because there are a whole slew of new buyers the automaker is looking to impress. But, with that in mind, the newly-designed Honda Accord is no disappointment.
The 2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 3 has been unveiled, becoming the first 3-Series to be offered as a hybrid. It also happens to be quicker than the BMW 335i.
