The price revision for the Civic will lead to price increases ranging from 40,700 yen to 50,600 yen, changing the prices from 3,240,600 yen to 3,980,900 yen. (Note: There was an error in the original price information for the Civic, and a correction was partially released on June 27th.)
Honda has attributed this price revision to the global surge in raw material prices and logistics costs, which have significantly impacted the automotive industry. As a result, Honda aims to sustain its commitment to delivering high-quality vehicles while navigating the current economic challenges.Customers planning to purchase Honda models affected by the price adjustments are advised to consider making their purchases before the late July implementation date to take advantage of the existing pricing structure. Stay tuned for further updates from Honda regarding the specific models and detailed pricing adjustments.

Nissan’s new EXTRAIL EXTREME X with wild black face
The EXTRAIL EXTREME X, which expresses tough style, is a custom car series that has continued from the second-generation EXTRAIL. The new model was developed for users who want to express more active individuality.
Based on the new EXTRAIL’s intermediate grade “”X e-4ORCE,”” the design is based on the theme of “”Tough & Rugged”” to further enhance the SUV’s presence and sense of massiveness.
The exterior is customized with a number of exclusive parts, including a front grille (dark finisher), rear under protector, front protector, and 18-inch aluminum wheels.
Other features include LED fog lamps, rear LED fog lamps, power-folding remote control door mirrors with side turn lamps (gloss black), exclusive gloss black outside door handles, and exclusively designed black roof rails.

First scoop on the next-generation Suzuki “Swift”! Adoption of new rear door and clam-style hood?
“First Scoop of the Next Suzuki Swift! New Rear Door & Hamaguri Style Hood?
Prototype of the next generation Suzuki Swift (Scoop photo)The full model change of Suzuki’s popular compact hatchback, the Swift, appears to be approaching. The scoop site Spyder7 has obtained an exclusive scoop of a prototype vehicle of the next model.
The first generation Swift was introduced in 2000 as a crossover-style compact car, using body panels from the “”kei”” minicar. Since then, it has been upgraded as a global model, and the sporty “”Swift Sports”” has also gained popularity in Japan and overseas. The current 4th generation model was launched in 2017. The next model is expected to be introduced in 2023, marking the first full model change in six years.
The prototype vehicle, code-named “”YED,”” has a fully camouflaged body with unknown details. The front end reveals a “”clam-shell”” hood and some of the slim headlights. The bumper also reveals wide oval air intakes on the lower part of the bumper.
From the side of the body, the roofline is slightly more sloped than before. Even so, the Swift-like silhouette seems to have been maintained. The biggest change is the position of the rear seat door handle, which was embedded in the C-pillar but is now located on the side of the door. The rear window is more trapezoidal in shape. Also visible are some of the newly designed LED taillights and reflectors mounted on the lower rear bumper.
The next model will also adopt Suzuki’s lightweight and highly rigid “”Heartect”” platform, and will be equipped with a 1.2-liter inline four-cylinder plus mild hybrid powertrain. The Swift Sport is expected to combine a 1.4-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine with an ISG 48V mild hybrid system.
The world premiere of the next Swift is expected in 2023. The Swift Sport is expected to appear around six months to a year after that. As cost performance is one of the selling points of the Swift/Swift Sport, the price of the next model is also a matter of concern. We will keep you posted as soon as we get further information.”
The new black-colored Prius is too cool
Delivery of the car! What do you think of the “wide and low” interior space of the new Toyota Prius? What are your real impressions after taking delivery?
New “Prius” interior space, what do you really think?
The new Toyota Prius (hybrid vehicle) went on sale on January 10, 2023.
We have been hearing from users on social networking sites who have already taken delivery of their vehicles, and we asked SRBI/TW (@110RX1) (hereafter SRBI) about his impressions after taking delivery of his new vehicle.What do you think of the interior space of the new Toyota Prius, with its “wide and low form”? See in pictures!
The new black-colored “Prius” is too cool! Image: SRBI/TW (@110RX1)
The first-generation Prius was introduced in 1997, and this is the fifth generation of the Prius. Under the concept of “Hybrid Reborn,” the Prius has undergone a major facelift from the previous model, from the exterior to the functional aspects.
One of the most distinctive features of the new Prius is its more stylish proportions.
The body size of the new Prius is 4600 mm (length) x 1780 mm (width) x 1420-1430 mm (height), with a lower center of gravity than the previous model and a design that emphasizes sportiness.
Compared to the previous-generation Prius, the overall height has been reduced by 40 mm, while the overall length and width have been increased by 25 mm and 20 mm, respectively, and the seating positions (hip points) of front and rear occupants have been lowered to achieve an interior space that can accommodate a maximum of five passengers.
SRBI describes the interior space of the new Prius as follows.
Both the driver and front passenger seats are spacious, and the console box can hold small items, so I am satisfied with the interior space.
The rear seats are a little narrow for three adults.
However, I have no complaints about the spaciousness for a parent and four children, and there is plenty of leg room, so I am satisfied with the car.
Immediately after the world premiere in November 2022, some people were concerned that the interior space might be too small. However, users who have actually owned one have no major complaints about the interior space, and it can be said that this model is capable of everyday use while emphasizing sportiness.
The new Prius purchased by SRBI is a 2WD Z grade with black interior.
He applied for the car on December 22, 2022, signed the contract on January 13, 2023, and took delivery of the car on February 12, 2023.
In addition to this, SRBI also shared his impressions after the delivery of the car as follows.
I fell in love with the design of the new Prius, and after consulting with my wife and getting her approval, I decided to purchase the car.
Of course it looks cool, but I especially like the black exterior color.
As for the interior, I am satisfied with the high quality of the seats and the high seat sides, which give me the feeling of being wrapped up in a sports car, which is well worth the price.
As a point of concern, I feel that the 7-inch meter is a little difficult to see, and I would like to see it displayed a little larger.
I would like to see a larger display.
SRBI has been posting various information about the new Prius on his social networking service, and he shares his thoughts as follows: “I think the new Prius has a lot of potential.
The new Prius is equipped with a variety of safety features, such as a signal switching notification function and a vehicle departure notification system.
I have just taken delivery of the car and have not yet mastered its use, but I like the fact that I can change the safe driving support settings to my liking.
In the future, I would like to try out the safe driving support for long-distance travel, and I will continue to provide information about it on social networking sites.
SNS is gradually starting to see deliveries of the new Prius, and we can say that we will be seeing more and more of them around town.
