Indonesia’s Thrilling Revelation Unveils Larger Toyota Yaris Cross
ByPawaniThe Toyota Yaris Cross GR that was unveiled in Indonesia in August 2023 is indeed different from the Yaris Cross model available in Japan and some other markets. Here are some key differences and specifications for the Indonesian version:
Design and Body: The Yaris Cross GR in Indonesia features a design that is larger and distinct from the Japanese version. It has a more robust and imposing appearance, characterized by bold body lines and a sloping roof design. The dimensions of the Indonesian model are as follows: 4310mm in length, 1770mm in width, 1615mm in height, 2620mm in wheelbase, and 260mm in ground clearance. This makes it slightly larger than the Yaris Cross sold in Japan.
Interior: The interior of the Indonesian Yaris Cross GR Sports model is unique and designed to create a sporty and luxurious atmosphere. It includes a wide, soft dashboard panel and blue stitching on seats and other parts to enhance the sense of quality.
Model Variant: The model showcased in Indonesia is the Yaris Cross GR Sports, which suggests a sportier and more performance-oriented variant. It is powered by a hybrid powertrain, but specific technical details about the hybrid system are not provided in the information you provided.
Ground Clearance: The Indonesian Yaris Cross has a ground clearance of 260mm, which is notably higher than the Japanese version’s ground clearance of 160mm-170mm. This increased ground clearance could be designed to cater to the local market’s driving conditions and preferences.
It’s not uncommon for car manufacturers to offer different variations of the same model in different regions to meet local preferences and market demands. In this case, Toyota has adapted the Yaris Cross for the Indonesian market by making design and size adjustments to better suit the tastes and requirements of Indonesian consumers.
Toyota “”Hiace”” with Lambo face .
ByPawaniWhy Toyota “”Hiace”” with Lambo face? Up to 300 km/h with Century engine! The most powerful and astonishing specification is now available in South Africa! Why was it made?
Maximum speed of 300km/h! This is how the “”magic modification”” Hiace was made!
A man living in South Africa has created a “”magical modification”” of the Toyota Hiace, which has become the talk of the town.
In addition to its extreme exterior, its performance, including a mid-ship V12 engine, is also attracting attention. How did it come to be produced?Is this a Lamborghini? Is this a Lamborghini or a Hiace? Look at the flamboyant design of the most powerful van!
Toyota’s “”Hiace,”” which looks like a Lamborghini “”Aventador,”” has been born! With a Century engine, a top speed of 300 km/h is a dream? (Image courtesy of James Lederinghuis)
The Toyota Hiace, which continues to support the Japanese business scene, is also popular overseas for its high durability and functionality.
However, there are not many people in the world who customize the exterior of the Hiace to look like a Lamborghini Aventador and install a twin-turbocharged V12 engine from a Century.
The creator of such a “”magic modification”” Hiace is Mr. James Redelinghuys, who lives in South Africa.
The Hiace, sold locally under the name “”Quantum,”” is the standard cab vehicle in South Africa. Why did James decide to “”magic-modify”” the Hiace?
James, who used to operate a cab rental business in South Africa, says that he originally set out to create a custom Hiace for his own marketing purposes.
I got this Hiace in March 2017.
The main purpose of the customization was to market the company, but I also wanted to create something creative.
We started by turbocharging the stock 2.7-liter engine.
That in itself was done quickly, but then I saw an Aventador-style body kit that SAD of Japan was selling and decided to get it.
Then I felt like I had to install a crazier engine as well.
After considering different engines, we decided to install a Century V12 engine midship.
The Century V12 engine has real torque from low rpm.
I have installed two twin-scroll turbochargers in it, bringing the maximum output to 600 hp and the maximum torque to 700 Nm.
These turbos start to show power around 3500 rpm. Incidentally, since the stock injectors could not supply enough fuel to the engine, I installed Bosch injectors, which are used in the Porsche 911 (997 model).
The transmission is a three-speed one made by TCI, which is very unique because it is used in street racing in the United States.
As for the suspension, we tried different patterns and settled on plate springs with dampers.””
Although James has done “”magical modifications”” to the Italjet Dragster and Smart Roadster in the past, he had a very difficult time customizing the Hiace.
He says that the custom Hiace was a very difficult project for him, but he was able to complete it in time.
I hardly feel the impact of the road and the noise. But the beat produced by the muffler is very pleasant.
When the cab work is over, I can enjoy this Hiace as much as I want.
It is really a fun time. I believe that this car is unique not only in South Africa but also in the world.
Incidentally, this Hiace can reach 200 km/h in second gear. In theory, I think 300 km/h is possible, but it would take a lot of guts to do it.
* * *
In Japan, there are radical custom cars based on the Hiace called “”banning cars,”” but a case in which a V12 engine is mounted mid-ship is unheard of.
This “”magic modification”” Hiace is truly one that was completed through James’ persistence.

Seconds to go before the new Jimny 5-door arrives
Seconds to go before the new “Jimny 5-door” arrives! How do Jimny fans react to the new “Jimny 5-door”?
The “5-door Jimny” is coming soon! Various opinions on social networking sites
The Suzuki Jimny series is renowned as a compact, full-fledged four-wheel drive vehicle. However, the series has been offered only as a 3-door model, and there have been many requests for a 5-door body model for some time.
Recently, however, there have been reports of sightings of a prototype “5-door Jimny” overseas, and some users on social networking sites have been talking about its imminent arrival.When will it appear? Expectations are high for the long-awaited “Jimny 5-door”! See the “ruggedness” of the successive Jimny models that has continued from the first model
How users’ expectations for the long-awaited “Jimny 5-door” are growing!
Since the first generation Suzuki Jimny was introduced in 1970, it has been a renowned vehicle with the compact body of a mini-car, a ladder frame, and part-time 4WD with an auxiliary transmission that is as good as the Toyota “Land Cruiser” and Mitsubishi “Pajero” series, which represent domestic four-wheel drive vehicles.
Since the end of the second generation model, which was sold from 1981 to 1998, the company has been offering a regular car model, the “”Jimny Sierra,”” with an enlarged body size and engine, in addition to the light car model, the Jimny.
The current model was introduced in 2018. While maintaining the same driving performance, the new model features a square design with rounded headlights and a classical atmosphere, as if returning to its origins, as well as safety features suitable for the modern age, such as Suzuki Safety Support, an advanced driving support system that includes collision damage reduction brakes and a false start suppression function. The new model has been a hit since its launch.
The car was so popular from the time of its launch that there was initially a two-year waiting list for delivery. The Jimny series became so popular that orders exceeded 15,000 units per month, compared to the monthly sales target of 3,000 units.
The Jimny series has been long awaited by many for a “”5-door body”” model with improved comfort, load capacity, and convenience.
Recently, however, a prototype Jimny with a 5-door body was spotted driving overseas, and it is predicted that its arrival is imminent.
Many Jimny fans have posted their opinions about this on social networking sites.
I’ll definitely buy it! I wonder if it will be sold in Japan! I can’t wait for the Jimny 5-door to come out””, “”If it does, I’ll buy it! Many users who have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the 5-door model have voiced their approval, which can truly be described as joy.
On the other hand, since rumors and predictions about the appearance of the 5-door have been constantly circulating since the current model was introduced in 2018, there are some who are skeptical about this overseas sighting, and some users who do not believe in these information are also asking, “”Will it really appear? and some users do not believe these information very much.
Furthermore, some users who are satisfied with the current 3-door model are skeptical about the need for 5-doors, saying, “”I don’t see the appeal of 5-doors,”” and “”Isn’t the comfort level of the car just a fraction of what it used to be? and “”Why release a 5-door Jimny when even the regular Jimny won’t be delivered? Some were concerned that it is still taking a long time to deliver cars even after five years since its launch.
The “”5-door”” is a new car that is not yet on sale.
Despite these various speculations about the Jimny, Suzuki’s Indian subsidiary announced in December 2022 that it will unveil “”two new SUVs”” at Auto Expo 2023, which is scheduled to be held in early 2023.
It has not yet been stated whether these two new SUVs are Jimny 5-door models, but based on prototype sightings overseas, they may finally be on their way.
