The FJ Cruiser has been around for a decade now. The quirky body and the out-of-the-box retro styling has given it a special place in the market (and our garage). After two false alarms when the FJ exited the US and Australian markets in 2014 and 2016 respectively, it is really time to say goodbye as Toyota has prepared a fitting farewell called the FJ Cruiser Final Edition for the Japanese market only.
After only two generations in 11 years, the Toyota Aurion has ended production in Australia, which likely means the death of the nameplate in the UAE and GCC too.
The number of cars recalled in the month of June is higher than that in May this year. Here is the list.
Our Toyota FJ Cruiser is running trouble-free, as we expected it to do. We even took it off-road, where it did phenomenally well (despite the confused thumb gestures by our offroad monkey Vivek “Payero” Menon in the photo above). But it’s currently facing a minor (or major, depending on how you look at it) concerning the exterior trim.
These images of 2018 Toyota Prado facelift look like the real deal, after renderings were leaked earlier.
Hello, Toyota 86 fans. Yes, it has been almost a year since I’ve wrote an update on my 86, mainly due to being busy with the work-life routine. It has also been a year since I’ve had the 86. I’m glad to report that it has been a smooth experience when it comes to fun little sports cars that’s also economically lean on the pocket.
These images are supposedly renderings of the upcoming 2018 Toyota Prado that is expected to debut at the end of this summer.
In the month of April, several manufacturers have announced recalls that include passenger cars, electric cars, trucks and even a full-size V12 sedan.
As the fate of the much-loved FJ Cruiser is sealed, Toyota’s lineup required a funky SUV to fill its shoes in when it’s gone (possibly in 2018). A very likely candidate for that job is being displayed in concept guise at the 2017 New York Auto Show. The Toyota FT-4X takes its design inspiration from the FJ Cruiser as well as the original Land Cruiser and then blends it with contemporary elements. However, it is a much smaller crossover!
At the 2017 Chicago Motor Show, Toyota’s stand showcased two toughened up TRD models. The toughness is not just skin-deep, though. The Sequoia and Tundra TRD Sport models look more intimidating than their standard versions and both harbour some off-road kit to add more go to the show.
