The RAV4-sized EV premieres April 19. For only a concept, Toyota sure has been teasing the new battery-powered SUV extensively in the last months. That said, the vehicle debuting on Monday at the Shanghai show isn't one of those concepts that we'll see once and then forget all about it. Expected to inaugurate the company's "Beyond Zero" lineup of all things zero emissions, the RAV4-sized EV is back in a new teaser to denote it's not a production vehicle. The futuristic steering wheel takes a similar yoke-like approach as the Lexus LF-Z Electrified concept we'll be seeing in China next week as well. Tesla certainly didn't invent this design with the latest Model S Refresh, but the Palo Alto-based company is bold enough to install it on a production vehicle (where the legislation allows it).

Design & Exterior We received the BMW X1 in a shade of Sunset Orange. At first glance, the car looked fantastic. Up front, it features BMW's signature LED headlights that look very nice thanks to the LED DRLs. The visibility is brilliant and the LEDs light up the roads very well.

However, unlike other BMW models on sale today, the X1 20d does not … [Read more...] about BMW X1 S-Drive 20d Review (Road Test): Bigger & Better Than Its Predecessor!
Chevrolet: IndyCar fans will approve of hybrid power jump
By the time the current 2.2-liter V6 twin-turbo regs expire at the end of the 2022 season, they will have served the NTT IndyCar Series for 11 seasons, with Chevrolet and Honda finding ever-smaller areas in which to improve and gain an edge. With displacement increasing to 2.4-liters, an increase in boost from the twinned BorgWarner turbos and the addition of a KERS hybrid unit, IndyCar is aiming to hit 900hp, and IndyCar president Jay Frye said recently that he expects the series to be “pushing” that figure – on road and street courses – soon into 2023. Buckner commented today: “Somewhat lost in the 2.4-liter transition is the fact that we’re going up in base boost as well. “It’s easy to think that we’re going up roughly 10 percent in displacement and so we’re going to go up 10 percent in power, but we’re also going to start operating at 1.6-bar as the standard for road and street courses from 1.5-bar. “And put all that together with the hybrid unit and I think fans … [Read more...] about Chevrolet: IndyCar fans will approve of hybrid power jump
