2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid: All You Need To Know

The Toyota Camry is the first launch for the Japanese carmaker in 2019 and it's an important one at that because the company has received a good response for the previous generation models of the car. In fact, the Camry with the hybrid powertrain has been the top seller for the company compared to its petrol sibling. Almost 70 per cent of sales of the Camry were of the hybrid car and so, the company did not think twice when it decided to bring in the new generation model to the country. The car is all set to launch in India on January 18, 2019 and there are quite a few details out already.

  2020 BMW 7 Series Facelift Unveiled

  BMW has taken the wraps off the new 7 Series facelift which has received some major design tweaks. Well! They say the bigger, the better but BMW has taken it too seriously this time. The most apparent of all the design changes is the massive kidney grille which is 40 per cent larger than the one on the outgoing model. It looks too imposing and straight out of the X7 without a bit of shredding and appears to be obnoxious as imposing is not what you want on a sedan. The new bumper now gets a narrow 'V' above the air dam to incorporate the grille making just about the area to fit in the number plate. Though the sides of the bumper look more beautiful in the way they have been moulded deeper into the overhangs.

  2022 Ford Ecosport Spotted For The First Time

  A new set of spy pictures surfaced online have revealed the 2020 Ford Ecosport which was being tested near Ford's European headquarters in Cologne. The all-new Ford Ecosport in silhouette looks nothing like the existing model which is on sale in our market as Ford has done away with the squared SUV looks and has given it more of a crossover appeal. If anything to mention, the next-generation Ford Ecosport looks like a baby Porsche Macan with a wider grille, swept back headlamps housing and tapering roofline. Though, people would also argue for the design to be inspired by the Ford Focus hatchback.

  Japan Court Denies Carlos Ghosn's Latest Bail Request

  Carlos Ghosn's latest bid to be released on bail was rejected by a Tokyo court, leaving the fallen car titan behind bars for at least another two months as prosecutors continue to build their case against him for financial crimes. Ghosn's lawyers had submitted the bail application last week after the former Nissan Motor Co. chairman was indicted for a second time, over allegations he transferred personal trading losses to the carmaker. Prosecutors have said his current period of detention lasts until March 10, but Ghosn's chief lawyer, Motonari Otsuru, flagged last week that the executive could remain behind bars until his trial, which could be six months away.
