    Toyota’s new cars have changed their keyless sounds to a cuter more musical tone including the popular Prius model.

    Toyota’s new cars have changed their “keyless sounds” to a cuter, more musical tone, including the popular Prius model. Many cars have a feature that emits an alarm sound when unlocking or locking the doors through keyless entry, often accompanied by flashing lights. Toyota has changed the tone of this sound from a sharp “beep beep” to a softer, piano-like sound in newer models such as the Aqua and Prius. The reason for this change is not clear, but it may be to create a more pleasant user experience.

    Is the interior of Porsche “Macan EV” different from “Taikan”? A close-up of the prototype .

    “Is the interior of the Porsche Macan EV different from that of the Taikan? Prototype Shown in Intense Photos2022, Thursday, June 2, 2022, 8:00 p.m.

    Porsche Macan EV Prototype (Scoop photo)
    The Macan crossover SUV has long been Porsche’s flagship model. It has already been reported that an EV will appear in the next model year, and now the scoop site Spyder7 has succeeded in taking intense photos of the cockpit of the prototype vehicle. What is the interior of the new generation Porsche…

    The camouflage of the caught prototype is not much different from the previous ones, with a dummy grille, and while the outlines of the headlights are recognizable, the interior is fake. Also, the rough design of the bumper including the corner air intakes can be seen, but it is not the final design, which is expected to be modified in the future.

    Of note is a photo of the cockpit, which captures parts of the instrument panel and center console. The cluster has three circular gauges, with the speedometer in the center and the left display currently showing tire pressure. The right side shows some kind of error, which is common in development vehicles. The gear selector is not a small switch on the dashboard, as on the “”Taikan”” and the next-generation “”Panamera””. Until now, it was thought that the next-generation Macan would inherit the cockpit design of the Taican, but it appears that it will be differentiated.

    Other features include a multi-function console in the horizontal section of the three-spoke steering wheel. The circular drive mode is located in the lower right corner. Also notice the Porsche emblem “”H”” and “”E”” on the infotainment display.

    The top of the center console features a digital display for HVAC controls and heating/ventilation seat settings. Buttons for the defogger and air circulation in the cabin are located in the lower row.

    The next-generation Macan will use VW Group’s new premium platform, the PPE architecture, which will be shared with the Audi Q6 e-tron and A6 e-tron. Two battery sizes will be available, both equipped with 800V technology for fast charging. The higher-end model will have all-wheel drive.

    The Macan EV is expected to be available within 2022 and will be sold alongside the ICE Macan for several years, but the ICE model will be phased out starting in 2024.”

    “Discontinued” in 2022 The history of Nissan “March” and Honda “CR-V” will be over !What will disappear further? 3 cars to be discontinued .

    “Production to End in 2022″” The end of the history of Nissan’s March and Honda’s CR-V! Who will disappear further? 3 cars to be discontinued

    Some once famous cars…are going out of production
     While many new models have been introduced in 2022, there are also models that will be discontinued.
     
     Some of them did not sell well because they did not match the needs of the market, which changes with the times, while others are popular but will be discontinued for one reason or another.
     
     The following is a list of models known to be discontinued as of June 2022.

    This is the preliminary design of the next CR-V! Photos of the actual car, a stylish SUV that looks like the “”Vezel””!
    Nissan “”March”” to end its 40-year history.

     Honda’s mid-size SUV “”CR-V”” first appeared in 1995 and was a hit as a pioneer of the light XC genre at the time.

     After that, the current, fifth-generation model returned to the Japanese market in 2018, although sales were suspended for about two years in the middle of the fourth-generation model.

     However, the current model disappeared from the Japanese market due to the fact that it had been struggling in terms of sales in the Japanese market and the introduction of the next model was announced in North America.

     In addition, Honda’s application (Honda Total Care) reveals that the Insight and Shuttle will also be discontinued in the Japanese market at the same time as the CR-V.

     A Honda spokesperson explains that the discontinuation of the three models is due to a review of the Japanese market trends and demand, which led to the decision to review the product lineup.

    ●Nissan March

     The March has a 40-year history, from the first generation model introduced in 1982, through the second and third generation models, to the current fourth generation model introduced in 2010.

     The second-generation March always ranked high in terms of annual sales volume, and the third-generation model was ranked high from the time of its launch.

     However, sales of the 4th generation model were not as good as previous generations, falling behind the Toyota Vitz and Honda Fit, and in successive generations, it was not produced in Japan but at various plants in Thailand and other parts of the world.

     In March 2022, the official blog of Nissan Prince Ibaraki dealers made the following announcement.

    “”Production of Nissan’s compact car MARCH will end in August 2022.

     Since its launch, the March has been loved by everyone for many years as a “”compact car that anyone can drive”” and a “”cost-effective passenger car.

     The March, which represents Nissan’s compact car lineup, will be discontinued in August 2022.

     There have been rumors for some time that the Nissan Fuga will also be discontinued, but on May 16, 2022, Nissan Tokyo announced the Fuga Final Edition.

     This will be a special edition “”Premium Select Edition”” in collaboration with Nissan Motorsports & Customization (formerly Autech Japan), and will be limited to 100 units.

     In this way, it seems that these days Nissan often releases information from dealers before it is sent out by the manufacturer.

     It is said that the production of the “”Cima”” and “”Skyline (hybrid vehicle)”” will also be discontinued.

    Lexus CT200h
     
     On March 3, 2022, Lexus announced the “”Cherished Touring”” special edition, the final edition of the CT200h.

     The CT200h was introduced in 2011 as a hybrid-only hatchback that ushered in a new era for Lexus.

     It has sold a cumulative total of approximately 380,000 units in about 65 countries and regions and has been well received by users around the world, but an official announcement from the manufacturer has revealed that production will end in October 2022.

    The “”Cherished Touring”” based on the “”version C”” grade has been elegantly styled by applying exclusive silver paint to the front grille and front fog lamp bezels. The interior has been given an elegant styling.

     The interior is distinguished by crimson stitching on the black door trim and instrument panel, as well as crimson and black crimson stitching on the seats, which are exclusive to the special edition model.

     Other standard features include a heated steering wheel and heated seats for enhanced comfort.

     Lexus explains that the CT200h “”has been well received by customers for its class-leading fuel economy and environmental performance, agile driving performance, and dynamic, sporty styling.

    * * *

     Every year, various models are discontinued and new models are introduced, and overall, we are planning to reorganize and downsize our model lineup.

     Under such circumstances, it seems that some of the once great cars are forced to end production due to sales or production circumstances.”
