Autoesque

Earlier this year, Toyota Gazoo Racing revealed the Supra GT4 Concept at the Geneva International Motor Show. Now the race car – which has been developed by Toyota Motorsport GmbH in Germany – is ready to enter production.

Seat dealers are now accepting Mii Electric orders.

With its oversized headlights and slim grille, the all-new Honda Jazz looks slightly awkward from some angles. Nevertheless, the otherwise inoffensive styling and familiar proportions are unlikely to scare off the traditional customer base for this B-segment supermini.

Nissan has unveiled its Ariya Concept at the Tokyo Motor Show. Measuring 4,600 mm (181.1”) long and 1,920 mm (75.6”) wide, this pure-electric crossover is slightly larger than the current Qashqai.

Redesigned front bumpers, grilles, wheels and LED rear light clusters identify the updated Titan XD full-size pick-up. Changes aren’t just restricted to the mild facelift, though.

Nobody could accuse the fourth-generation Yaris of looking nondescript. Its large grille, rising waistline, bulging wheel arches and prominent rear light clusters are among the key elements of a distinctive and instantly-recognisable design.

Interbrand has just published its twentieth annual 100 Best Global Brands report. Apple, Google and Amazon continue to occupy the first three slots, but the automotive sector remains well represented.

Uniti, the Swedish start-up that was established in 2015, has confirmed prices for its pure-electric city car ahead of deliveries beginning next year.

Toyota continues to believe that fuel cell electric vehicles can play an important role in the move away from combustion engines. Having launched the original Mirai five years ago, it has now developed a replacement which will appear in concept form at the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show.

Isuzu has introduced a completely revised D-Max pick-up. Like its predecessor, the 2020 model will be built in Thailand and customers can choose standard, space or crew cabs.

A few more Amarok pick-ups need to find buyers, so Volkswagen has resorted to introducing a couple of Black Edition models.

Chevrolet has announced a mild facelift for its mid-size Colorado pick-up. The changes are most obvious on the ZR2 variant, which is due to appear in public for the first time at next month’s SEMA show in Las Vegas.

Back in March, Abarth unveiled the 595 esseesse and 124 Rally Tribute to help commemorate the brand’s seventieth birthday. Clearly such a momentous occasion deserves another limited edition, because the 695 70th Anniversario has just been announced.

Organisers of the 2019/2020 FIA Formula E Championship have announced a finalised schedule.

Figures published by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders show that 343,255 new cars were registered during the important ‘plate-change’ month of September. In other words, there was a modest increase of 4,421 units (or 1.3%) versus last year, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the year-to-date volume deficit.

Chevrolet has unveiled its all-new Corvette C8.R racer, which will be eligible to participate in the GTLM class of the IMSA SportsCar Championship and the GTE class of the FIA World Endurance Championship.

There have always been convertible versions of the Chevrolet Corvette, but the new C8 generation is the first to feature a solid top and a mid-engine layout.

At 2019’s leisure vehicle trade fair at Le Bourget, Citroën is displaying its SpaceTourer ‘The Citroënist’ Concept.

Most large camper vans are usually white or silver, so the Boxer 4x4 Concept immediately stands out thanks to Wanderlust Green satin paintwork which is combined with some striking mint, grey and matt black highlights.
