    No way Toyota’s new SUV!What is a face kit tailored to “Corolla cross like RAV4” .

    “Toyota’s new SUV? What is the “”LOVECROSS”” with the powerful hexagonal grille and Obafen? What is the face kit that makes it “”Corolla Cross like RAV4″”?

    Is this the “”Corolla Cross,”” a cool face kit reminiscent of the RAV4!
     Toyota has a number of urban SUVs that are being marketed globally, including the Yaris Cross, C-HR, Corolla Cross, and Harrier.
     
     Among them, a face kit that looks like a fusion of “”Corolla Cross”” and “”RAV4″” has appeared.

    What’s this? Is this the new Toyota SUV?”” Images of the actual “”Lovecross”” with a nice, powerful grille!

    What the heck is this? Could this be “”Toyota’s new SUV?”” No, this is a kit of the “”Corolla Cross”” with a “”RAV4″” face!

     The Corolla Cross made its world premiere in Thailand on July 9, 2020.

     It is being rolled out globally in Asia, South America, and North America, and was launched in Japan on September 14, 2021.

     There are two major front faces of the Corolla Cross depending on the country or region, and the “”RAV CROSS Face Kit”” dares to make the design “”RAV4-like””.

     A representative of EXIZZLE-LINE, the distributor of the RAV CROSS Face Kit, said, “”The RAV CROSS Face Kit is the first face kit to be developed for the actual Corolla Cross car.

    When I first saw the actual Corolla Cross on the street, I had the impression that it was too mild, and I thought that it could be made even cooler, which was the initial impetus for its production.

     We also developed it because we thought we could make more use of the base grade’s cosmetic appeal and more user-friendly size than the Toyota RAV4.””

     The following is a brief description of the special features of the face kit.

    One of the points we focused on was reducing the number of bumps on the lower bumper skid plate to three to balance the narrower width of the Corolla Cross compared to the RAV4.

     Another is that the size of the grille was also adjusted for volume by making it a little taller compared to the RAV4.

     Another point of attention was to give the face a slightly edgier shape than the RAV4.

     We also focused on a design that does not compromise safety features such as Toyota Safety Sense (TSS), pre-crash sensors, and clearance sonar, as well as differentiation with the trendy “”TOYOTA”” logo emblem.

    We have received many inquiries since the announcement.

     Toyota dealers have also approached us and asked us to order them as demo cars for their stores, and we have even received requests to buy a car in the same color and install it.

     Incidentally, in addition to the RAV CROSS front face kit at a suggested retail price of 203,500 yen, the RAV CROSS over fender kit is available at a suggested retail price of 49,500 yen.
     
     The over fender does not require any modification to the vehicle and can be installed without changing the vehicle dimensions, and can be installed over the stock fenders.”

    Porsche’s EV “Tycan” extends cruising range … Europe announcement .

    “Porsche’s EV “”TaikanTycan”” with extended range…Announced in Europe on Wednesday, July 20, 2022 at 7:45 p.m.

    On July 20, Porsche unveiled the 2023 model of its EV sports car, the Porsche Taycan, in Europe. The software has been updated to boost performance.

    The AWD model’s EV powertrain deactivates the front electric motor when the driving mode is “”Normal”” and “”Range”” and the driving load is low. Furthermore, while coasting or stopping, the drive torque of the front and rear axles is set to zero. The electric freewheel is said to reduce frictional drag losses and extend the vehicle’s cruising range.

    As for the battery, the quick recharging performance at low temperatures has been improved. Porsche Communication Management (PCM) and Porsche Connect feature new functions and a new start screen for even greater ease of use.

    Wilder than the Outlander ! Mitsubishi “L200 / Triton” Look at the next-generation majestic appearance .

    “Wider than the Outlander! Behold the imposing appearance of the next-generation

    Mitsubishi Motors is currently developing the next-generation L200 pickup truck. The L200, formerly known as the Triton, is a 1-ton pickup truck that was officially sold in Japan from 2006 to 2011.

    The current model, the fifth generation of the L200, debuted in 2014 and is sold in Asian and Oceania markets as the Triton, just as it once was in Japan. 2018 will see a major upgrade (launched as a new model in the UK), and the baton will finally be passed on to the next-generation model.

    The L200 next-generation prototype was captured in a test mule in January, but this time it is in production form with the final design visible. The front end reveals a bold grille that incorporates the latest Mitsubishi “”Dynamic Shield”” design. Like the Outlander, the main headlights are positioned below slim LED daytime running lights.

    Perhaps the biggest change is a mesh-pattern grille similar to that of the Nissan Navara; the L200 was jointly developed by the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance and uses the same architecture as the Nissan Navara. Many other components are expected to share similarities as well.

    On the side, we can see streamlined styling and angled accents above the wheel arches, while the wheelbase appears to be stretched and will provide a fuller cabin.

    At the rear, no major changes can be seen at this stage, but the taillights and bumper are expected to be started in the future. In addition, the next-generation model will shift to electrification, and the adoption of PHEV will be the main feature. The prototype’s exhaust pipe is connected to an emission monitoring sensor, so we can expect gasoline and diesel engines to be offered as well, depending on the market.

    The world premiere of the L200/Triton is expected after 2023.”
