America’s automakers are out shouting about their latest sales figures this week after the second quarter of the year drew to a close last weekend. Sales of light vehicles across America dipped by a single percent during the three-month period as a computer outage hit America’s dealerships’ ability to sell cars.

While some automakers hype up EVs that won't come out for another several years, Toyota does the same with combustion engines. Well ahead of their introduction in production cars, the new four-cylinder ICEs were unveiled as work-in-progress developments at the end of May. Now, the Japanese automaker’s Chief Technology Officer is providing more details about what lies ahead.

These are the 5 best hybrids & electric vehicles of 2024, according to Edmunds

Ever since its debut three years ago, the GMC Hummer EV SUV has been a regular appearance in YouTube videos, thanks to its size, polarizing looks and impressive spec sheet. Now, famous car reviewer and InsideEVs friend Doug DeMuro got his hands on a 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV in 3X trim and made a video where he talked about all the quirks and features, as he does with all the cars he drives. Until we finish our own review of the battery-powered Hummer, let’s see what DeMuro has to say about the crab-walking electric SUV.

GMC Hummer EV SUV Is One Of The Best EVs. Too Bad It’s For Nobody: Doug DeMuro

If you have your eye on a new Lexus RX luxury SUV, but just don't feel like swinging the price tag or cosplaying a real estate agent, has Toyota got the alternative for you: The 2025 Crown Signia. This new crossover is related to the unusual Crown sedan, a premium, high-riding sedan that replaced the Avalon in Toyota's lineup and leverages the iconic, up-market, heretofore mostly Japanese-market-only Crown name. The Crown SUV also happens to be pretty much exactly the same size as Lexus's RX, which plays in the same compact luxury SUV sandbox as the Audi Q5, BMW X3, and Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class. This isn't the first time we've compared the Toyota and Lexus, which even share a platform and essentially use the same three-motor hybrid powertrain.

Hybrids and plug-in hybrids accounted for a record 11% of U.S. car sales in the first quarter, reports Automotive News, citing data from Cox Automotive. Sales of hybrids more than doubled in Q1 compared to a year earlier, the Cox data showed, while plug-in hybrid sales rose 59% in the quarter. Owner loyalty was also strong, with 42% of hybrid owners returning to the market in Q1 purchasing another hybrid or plug-in hybrid, according to S&P Global Mobility data also cited by Automotive News. That marks the seventh consecutive quarter that hybrid-owner loyalty has increased.

Hybrids, PHEVs make up record sales share

Electric cars are slowly but surely becoming more affordable and, in some cases, cheaper than gas-powered alternatives. This holds especially true when it comes to leasing, where we’ve seen several deals where an EV made its combustion counterparts irrelevant from a pricing standpoint, such as the Chevrolet Blazer EV, which is cheaper to lease than the mechanically unrelated Blazer. Now, it’s time for the popular Toyota Camry to be dethroned by the Tesla Model 3, at least price-wise.
