     On November 24, 2022, Subaru announced the partially improved models of the station wagon “”Levorg”” and the sedan “”WRX S4″”.

    Subaru “”Levorg”” with Enhanced Anti-theft Measures

     Fully remodeled in 2020, the Levogue is a performance wagon that inherits Subaru’s Grand Touring DNA of “”farther, faster, more comfortable, and safer”” and further evolves the three values of “”advanced safety,”” “”sportiness,”” and “”wagon value”” in an innovative way.

     The WRX S4, on the other hand, will be completely renewed in 2021. The WRX S4 is a model that symbolizes Subaru’s AWD performance, combining outstanding driving performance with the practicality of a 4-door sedan, with refined dynamic performance, handling stability, quietness, and ride comfort.

     The latest improvements to the Levorg and WRX S4 include the addition of a function that automatically turns off the headlamps/interior lights when the driver forgets to turn off the headlamps/interior lights.

     In addition, a smart key sleep function and motion sensors have been installed as countermeasures against “”relay attacks,”” which have become a problem in recent years as a method of vehicle theft by abusing the smart key function.

     In addition, the operability of the lighting switch has been reviewed and changed from one position for “”Vehicle Width Lights/Tail Lights & OFF”” to two positions for “”Vehicle Width Lights/Tail Lights”” and “”OFF””.

     Prices (including consumption tax) range from 3,102,000 yen to 4,829,000 yen for the Levorg and from 4,044,000 yen to 4,829,000 yen for the WRX S4.”

    Groundbreaking Toyota Hilux Champ Defies Norms with 20% Price Drop Breaking Barriers

    Furthermore, it was inducted into the Hall of Fame on the British public broadcaster BBC’s car show Top Gear, where it was praised for its sturdiness that withstood extreme challenges such as being dropped from the roof of a building. , and in the same program, another Hilux reached the North Pole, Toyota Motor Corporation’s venerable pickup truck that has been active all over the world. The first model debuted in 1968, and has a history of more than 50 years.

    Under 2 million yen! New model “Hilux Champ” with a good sense of discretion

    Toyota, a global automotive giant, has officially introduced its latest model, the “Hilux Champ,” signaling a return to the roots of its renowned pickup truck line. The Hilux, a fixture in the automotive world for over 50 years, has made its mark in pop culture, from its appearance in the 1985 movie “Back to the Future” to enduring extreme challenges on BBC’s Top Gear.

    In recent years, the Hilux has seen a transformation, incorporating more comfort features and higher-quality interiors, leading to a significant increase in price. Toyota’s response to this trend is the Hilux Champ, designed to cater to customers looking for a more basic and affordable option. This new model, unveiled at the “Thailand Motor Expo” in Bangkok, is not a successor to the existing Hilux Revo but will be sold alongside it as a distinct offering.

    One of the key highlights of the Hilux Champ is its pricing strategy. In Thailand, where it is manufactured, the Hilux Revo standard model starts at 564,000 baht (approximately 2.3 million yen), while the Hilux Champ comes in at a more budget-friendly 459,000 baht (approximately 1.88 million yen), a nearly 20% reduction in price. The move aims to make the Hilux accessible to a broader range of consumers.

    During an on-site inspection by automotive journalist Takahiro Kudo, the Hilux Champ’s classic design immediately caught attention. Departing from the modern aesthetics of the Hilux Revo, the Champ exudes a timeless charm with its almost flat windshield and straightforward exterior panels. The grille design, resembling Lego blocks, adds a touch of casual familiarity.

    Inside the Hilux Champ, cost-cutting measures are evident. The door trim, largely crafted from a single piece of resin, and the fixed passenger seat without adjustments reflect the vehicle’s commitment to simplicity. Notably, the air conditioning system, designed for practicality, lacks the option to switch the cold air outlet—a decision made to further streamline costs.

    The Hilux Champ caters to a specific market, acknowledging that some customers prioritize affordability over luxury. The model’s unveiling also showcased a racing version with a full bucket seat, appealing to the popular pickup truck racing scene in Thailand.

    Toyota’s Hilux Champ is not just a new addition to its lineup; it represents a strategic move to address diverse consumer needs by offering a budget-friendly, back-to-basics commercial vehicle option with a touch of classic appeal.
