New addition to the “crowned” family: the Toyota Crown Signia 2025 crossover debuted.

The new model of the Japanese brand is intended for the North American market; this SUV will reach dealers in the summer of 2024.

Since the end of last month, Toyota has been teasing fans of the brand with teasers of the new product, and now the mid-size crossover of the “crowned” family has been officially presented.

In the North American market, the model was called Crown Signia, while in Japan this two-row SUV has a different name — Crown Estate.

Note that the SUV will join the Crown sedan, which debuted in mid-summer 2022 and reached dealers in the United States in the fall of the same year.

By the way, some local media believe that the new Toyota Crown Signia crossover will take the place of the Venza in the American market (it is assumed that the current model year will be its last).

The SUV of the Japanese brand received an appearance in the corporate style of the Crown family; in general, the version with the addition of Signia is in many ways similar to the Estate prototype shown last year.

German all-wheel drive hot hatch Vanwall Vandervell S: later and more powerful than expected.

Vanwall GmbH, headquartered in the Bavarian city of Gröding, was unable, as promised, to launch its first road model, the sports electric 5-door hatchback Vanwall Vandervell S, in the third quarter of this year.

Its market launch has been postponed to the first quarter of 2024, but there is good news: the hot hatch has become more powerful.

The Vanwall name is closely linked to the history of Formula One, having previously been borne by the racing team founded in 1951 by British industrialist and car enthusiast Guy Anthony Vandervell, better known as Tony Vandervell.

The peak of the team’s glory came in the 1958 season, when it won the constructors’ championship, but that was essentially the end of it, because one of the Vanwall drivers, Stuart Lewis-Evans, died during the last race of the season in Morocco.

This tragedy shocked Tony Vanderwell and he no longer wanted to deal with motorsports.

Chery Tiggo 8 Plus 2024.

The Chery Tiggo 8 Plus 2024 crossover has been updated in China using Russian patterns. In the domestic market, the G8 has undergone another upgrade.

Sales of the Champion Edition line have started in the Middle Kingdom, timed for the 2024 model year.

This Chery Tiggo 8 Plus has a unified interior with the Russian Tiggo 8 Pro Max, and in our country the modified crossovers have been on sale for two and a half months, but the model has only just reached the Chinese! The updated version comes with front-wheel drive, but this is temporary.

Chery’s strategy is explained simply: in the Middle Kingdom, the crossover with the letter Pro plays the role of the flagship of the Tiggo 8 family, and the update of the simpler and more affordable Plus version was postponed.

Now the Chinese Plus and Pro have a unified interior: an infotainment complex with trapezoidal screens, a new multifunction steering wheel, different door cards, a front panel and a central tunnel, as well as a passenger seat with an ottoman have appeared.

The updated Toyota GR86 coupe will receive the engine from the “charged” GR Yaris and the Lexus IS platform.

A number of media reports that the new generation of the Toyota GR86 sports coupe will soon be built on Toyota’s own platform.

It is also said that the model will be based on a shortened Lexus IS chassis, where the engine from the “charged” baby GR Yaris will be installed.

For its second generation, Toyota decided to differentiate the GR86 from the Subaru BRZ a little more.

This may just be the beginning, as rumors from Japan suggest that the third-generation sports car could get a Toyota engine and a Lexus platform.

Reports indicate that Toyota engineers are already hard at work on the next iteration and that they may ditch Subaru’s flat-four engine entirely.

Geely has revealed the design of the premium sedan Zeekr 007.
The four-door had an unusual appearance. The model will make its full premiere next week.

The Chinese company Geely continues to gradually declassify the new product of its premium electric sub-brand Zeekr: “clean” corporate photos have been published.

The model was called Zeekr 007, and this is the first sedan in the range of the young brand (created in 2021), the “seven” will join the large Zeekr 001 liftback, the Zeekr 009 minivan and the compact Zeekr X SUV.

Unlike other Zikrov, which in one way or another resemble in appearance the Lynk & Co cars (a joint project of Geely and Volvo), the electric four-door received a completely original look.
