The 2025 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid costs $26,250—$1,150 less than the 2024 model—and adds a new mid-range SEL Sport trim level to the lineup.

Rumor has it that Toyota is apparently researching and developing a new turbocharged four-cylinder that has the potential to become the world's most powerful four-banger. News comes from AutoEvolution in Romania, who got the scoop and heard about Toyota's new internal-combustion engine, which could see duty in the supposed new MR2 and Celica GRMN sports cars in the works for Japan's Domestic Market.

A global stop-sale affecting a significant portion of BMW’s model lineup has caused disruptions for many dealerships, potentially impacting hundreds of thousands of vehicles worldwide. The news first broke in Australia, reported by CarExpert. The delivery halt, which affects both new and used vehicles, has left approximately 30,000 cars undelivered in Australia, with the global impact remaining unclear until BMW identifies which models require rectification. BMW Germany also confirmed for BimmerToday that the recall is currently being extended in the form of a delivery stop, with around 175,000 vehicles affected in Germany alone.

8 Best Toyota Hybrids Based On Reliability

While the world moves more and more towards an eco-friendly future, certain aspects of the automotive industry suffer. As emission restrictions tighten and Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) metrics become harder and harder for manufacturers to meet, engine sizes are becoming smaller in order to meet those goals. That's why we've seen so many six-cylinder engines drop to four-pots, while V8s have been downgraded (or upgraded depending on where you stand) to twin-turbocharged sixes.

Toyota's Most Powerful 4-Cylinder Engine

SEOUL (Reuters) -Hyundai Motor said on Wednesday it was targeting annual global sales of 5.55 million vehicles by 2030, up 30% from 2023, as it plans to double its hybrid lineup to counter a slowdown in global electric vehicle (EV) demand. The South Korean firm also said it would buy...

Hyundai Targets 30% Rise in Sales by 2030, as It Doubles Hybrid Lineups

If you have a basic understanding of how a turbocharged engine like the 2023 Toyota GR Corolla's souped-up three-cylinder works, it's not hard to figure out that they pose reliability issues you won't get with a naturally aspirated engine. Before we get into the higher heat and pressure that comes with turbocharging, the bottom line is there are more moving parts, meaning there's more stuff that can break.

Reliability Showdown: Turbocharged Vs. Naturally Aspirated Engines

Ever since the Toyota GR Supra first appeared five years ago, there’s been one fact that’s been used to consistently criticise it: “Oh, it’s just a BMW.” That’s despite the facts that a) it was never going to get a 2JZ because that engine’s been out of production for nearly 20 years, b) there would have been no economic case for the Z4 and Supra to exist at all without them being twins, and c) since when has a rear-wheel drive sports car with a BMW straight-six been a bad thing?

While electric vehicles (EVs) have improved in terms of efficiency and thus driving range, they're still often inferior compared to their gasoline-powered counterparts. While we get easily impressed when an EV hits the 300-mile mark, that's something that you can easily get with a gas-powered vehicle. Not to mention that it's easier to gas up a vehicle due to the sheer commonality of fuel stations versus charging stations, as well as how quick it is to fill up versus to charge.
