Toyota has launched its new hybrid compact Aqua with enhanced acceleration performance and about a 20 percent improved fuel efficiency in the first full-model change in 10 years.

The new Aqua sits on the TNGA's GA-B platform and is powered by an in-line 3-cylinder DOHC 1.5-litre M15A-FXE dynamic force engine. It is capable of generating a maximum output of 91PS and a peak torque of 120 Nm. This engine is combined with a THS II hybrid system with a reduction mechanism.

Aqua hybrid is equipped with a nickel-hydrogen battery system that has twice as much power output as the previous model, enabling longer travel on electricity without the use of conventional fuel.

Toyota has reduced the number of parts used for the nickel-hydrogen battery to increase its capacity. The latest model claims to return a mileage of nearly 35.8 kmpl when driven on petrol. 

The Aqua comes with a full range of carefully considered equipment, including as standard on all grades a 100-volt (alternating current)/1,500-watt accessory power outlet and an emergency power supply mode that allows electricity to be drawn from the vehicle for external use during blackouts.

The new Aqua stands at 4,050 mm in length, 1,695 mm in width, 1,485 mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 2,600 mm. Compared to the previous Aqua, the overall length and width remain the same, but the overall height has gone up by 30 mm while the wheelbase has also been extended by 50 mm.

The all-new Aqua also becomes the first Toyota compact car to feature a large, 10.5-inch audio display, delivering outstanding operability and visibility.

Its cabin features soft, synthetic leather-bound ornaments and armrests, and convenient and comfortable synthetic leather power seats.

The extension of this wheelbase means more space for luggage and passengers at the rear seats.

One of the major features of the new Aqua is the parking assist system that only requires the driver to press a button to park, the first time it has been installed in a non-luxury Toyota car. 

Toyota had launched the first Aqua hybrid in the aftermath of the major earthquake and tsunami that hit northeastern Japan in March 2011.

The Aqua, which was first introduced as an HEV-only model and became a best-selling car due to its fuel efficiency and usability, has sold more than 1.87 million units since its launch.

Toyota revealed the latest generation of its flagship luxury off-road SUV during a global online premier Wednesday. The 300 Series Land Cruiser aims to merge new technologies and construction methods with the legendary on- and off-road performance we've come to expect over the nameplate's 70-year history.

At first glance, the new Land Cruiser has a blocky, solid look. There are distinct differences to the previous model, notably around the light positions and bumper shape, but Toyota has kept the length, width and wheelbase the same as the previous model.

The SUV's frame was redesigned to reduce weight and increase rigidity. In fact, the car is 200kg lighter than its most recent predecessor.

It also has a lowered centre of gravity, which should improve handling and, in particular, cornering capabilities.

Improvements have been made to the suspension, with the adoption of something Toyota refers to as an E-KDSS.

The new model now has a multi-terrain monitor, which instantly displays obstacles as viewed from the driver's viewpoint.

Power comes from a twin-turbocharged V6, of course, with 3.5-litre petrol and 3.3-litre diesel versions available. These will produce 410 and 305 horsepower, respectively.

The J300 features Toyota's Safety Sense package, with some additional advanced functions.

No price has been announced yet, but the Land Cruiser will be available all over the world. 

In this 70th anniversary year of the Land Cruiser, Toyota has completely redesigned its character by merging technologies accumulated over many years with the latest technologies, and is planning to launch it all over the world starting in the summer of 2021.

A cumulative total of approximately 10.4 million units and more than 300,000 units a year have been sold in 170 countries and regions all over the world.
