2022 Toyota Supra Gets A $300 Bump In Price And A New $63k Carbon Fiber Edition

Toyota has announced pricing for the 2022 Supra range and the cost of buying the car has risen, as has the cost of shipping the car to you.

For 2022, the entry-level 2.0-liter Supra rings in at $43,290, $300 more from its base price in 2021, which was $42,990. That’s not the extent of it, though. For 2022, Toyota has also upped its “Delivery Processing & Handling fee” from $995 to $1,025. So customers who waited until this year to buy a cheap Supra will actually be paying $330 more than they would have last year.

Prices for the 3.0-liter Supra have risen even more. Starting at $51,640 ($52,665 w/ destination) in 2022, that’s $650 more than customers were paying in 2021, which was already $1,000 more than they were paying in 2020.

The GR Supra 3.0 Premium also gets a bit of a price bump for 2022, with an MSRP of $54,790 ($55,815 w/ destination), or $300 more than it cost last year. It gets a red leather-trimmed interior option and models equipped with the Premium Audio package get full-screen Apple Car Play.

Finally, the A91-Carbon Fiber Edition is new to the lineup and prices start at a whopping $63,280 ($64,305 w/ destination). The model is limited to just 600 examples, though, and is the most exclusive Mark V Supra to date. It features handmade carbon fiber accents, including a duckbill spoiler, a front splitter, and rockers. It also gets unique 19-inch wheels and can be finished in matte-gray Phantom, Absolute Zero White, or Nitro Yellow.

Like the other 3.0-liter Supras, it makes 382 hp (387 PS/285 kW) and can get to 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 3.9 seconds. The 2.0-liter model, meanwhile, develops 255 hp (259 PS/190 kW) and can reach highway speeds in just five seconds. Both make more power than they did in 2020 thanks to upgrades introduced last year.

As a nice added touch, every 2022 GR Supra comes with a complimentary one-year membership to the National Auto Sport Association (NASA), which gives them access to perks like discounted admission to NASA events and a free high-performance driving event.

2022 Toyota Avalon Drops AWD And TRD, Starts From $36,375 For Its Final Year

The fifth-generation Avalon might have been introduced in 2018, but Toyota has confirmed that 2022 will mark the end of its production. Today, the automaker announced pricing for the 2022 MY alongside a few changes in the lineup.

The 2022 Toyota Avalon starts from $36,375 (excluding the $1,025 fee), making it $250 more expensive than last year’s model.

The full-size sedan is not available in AWD variants anymore, while the sporty TRD trim was also dropped from the range. The good news for prospective buyers is the addition of new safety features as standard, including the upgraded Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+ package (dynamic radar cruise control, lane tracing assist, blind-spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, etc), and the addition of a rear-seat reminder system.

Just like last year, the Avalon is available with gas and hybrid powertrains. The 3.5-liter V6 produces 301 hp (224 kW / 305 PS) and 267 lb-ft (362 Nm) of torque, mated to an eight-speed Direct Shift automatic gearbox that sends power to the front axle. The hybrid combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with two electric motors producing a combined 215 hp (160 kW / 218 PS) and comes with a fuel economy rating of 44 mpg combined.

The 2022 lineup includes six trim levels, including the XSE Nightshade Edition that is visually differentiated from the glossy black accents, the 19-inch wheels, and the rear diffuser. Inside, variants are differentiated with the base XLE featuring SofTex upholstery and “engineered wood” trim, the Limited coming with perforated leather and genuine wood sourced from Yamaha, and the Touring with perforated SofTex / Ultrasuede and aluminum trim.

In terms of equipment, the Limited and Touring come standard with a premium 14-speaker JBL Audio system, a 10-inch Head-up display, a 9-inch infotainment touchscreen (Apple CarPlay / Android Auto / Amazon Alexa), a wireless charging pad, and a moonroof (also standard on the Nightshade, optional in XLE, XLE hybrid). The Touring is the sportiest of the bunch equipped with the electronically controlled Adaptive Variable Suspension system, and an extra driving mode (eco, normal, sport, sport+, custom)

2022 Toyota Avalon Pricing

Avalon XLE 3.5-liter V6 8-speed Auto: $36,375
Avalon XLE Hybrid 2.5-liter ECVT: $37,350
Avalon Limited 3.5-liter V6 8-speed Auto: $42,675
Avalon Limited Hybrid 2.5-liter ECVT: $43,650
Avalon XSE Hybrid Nightshade 2.5-liter ECVT: $40,700

New Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 Priced From £155k In The UK, Nearly £16k More Than 751HP Taycan Turbo S

Two months ago, Mercedes unveiled the AMG EQS 53 at the Munich Motor Show as the first electric vehicle to wear the AMG badge. Now, the German automaker has released pricing for it, and it’s about what you’d expect for a range-topping high-performance EV sedan.

The EQS 53 will start at £154,995 (equal to around $208,000 at current exchange rates) in the UK, or 55% more than the base EQS 450’s starting price of £99,995. It’s also more expensive than the current flagship Porsche Taycan Turbo S that’s rated for 761PS / 751HP and kicks off from £139,280 (about $186,900).

For that money, you get a dual-motor AWD drivetrain producing 649 hp (658 PS / 484 kW) and 701 lb-ft (950 Nm) of instant electric torque. Upgrade to the AMG Performance Package with the Night Edition that pushes the starting price to £163,900 (around $220,000) though, and that same drivetrain produces 751 hp (761 PS / 560 kW) and 752 lb-ft (1020 Nm) of torque.

The former enables a 3.8-second sprint to 62 mph (100 km/h) with a top speed of 137 mph (220 km/h), while the latter allows for 3.4 seconds to 62 mph with a top speed of 155 mph (249 km/h). The range is the same for both, with a WLTP-estimated 358 miles (576 km) on tap from the car’s 107.8 kWh battery.

Standard features on all variants include the 56-inch Hyperscreen, an AR heads-up display, Nappa leather upholstery, a Burmester® surround sound system, a Parking package with Active Parking Assist, and 360° camera, Driving Assistance Package Plus, AMG sound programs, AMG-specific bodywork, and an AMG steering wheel.

Included with the Night Edition are 21-inch AMG alloy wheels, a flat-bottomed sport steering wheel, and sport pedals. Upgrading to the £8,995 AMG Performance Package (which is only available with the Night Edition) gets you carbon-ceramic brakes, AMG Dynamic Plus boost for Race Start, the AMG Sound Experience, the AMG Driver’s Package with increased top speed, AMG TRACK PACE, and AMG carbon-fiber interior trim.

Finally, serving as a counterpart to the bold Night Edition is the more subtle Touring specification, which comes with 22-inch AMG multi-spoke alloy wheels and elegant ambient lighting in the cabin. On top of that, you can opt for the £2,995 Rear Luxury Lounge package (only available with the Touring), which outfits the multi-contour rear seats with black Exclusive Nappa leather upholstery, power reclining, luxury headrests, neck and shoulder heating, comfort armrests, separate climate controls, an MBUX tablet, wireless charging, and additional USB ports.

The 2022 Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+ is currently on sale now, with the first UK deliveries expected to arrive in April 2022.

Nissan Navara PRO-4X Warrior To Start At AU$67,490, Will Hit Aussie Dealerships On September 1

Development and testing of the Australian-market Nissan Navara PRO-4X Warrior is now complete, and the rugged pickup will arrive in dealerships from September 1. Pricing starts at AU$67,490 (US$50,115) for a manual-equipped Warrior, and AU$69,990 (US$51,971) for an automatic one.

The pickup truck, which was co-developed with Premcar Engineering, features numerous upgrades over the regular PRO-4X that are specifically designed with the Australian landscape in mind, making it Nissan’s toughest Navara yet.

Some of the exterior changes include a 30 mm (1.18 in) wider track, a Warrior-specific towbar and fender flares, a red ‘Navara’ branded skid plate, and a 3 mm steel second-stage underbody protection plate. And thanks to 275/70/R17 Cooper all-terrain tires, a 40 mm (1.57 in) increase in ground clearance, and a new front bumper with a winch-compatible Safari-style bullbar, the Warrior is afforded with an increased approach angle of 35 degrees over the original’s 32.

The Warrior’s suspension has also been upgraded, with the changes including new spring rates for more front-end support and less body roll, revised damping for better composure over bumps, and taller jounce bumpers for better control at maximum suspension travel.

Powering the PRO-4X Warrior is a 2.3-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel engine. Producing 140 kW (188 hp / 190 PS) and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) of torque from as low as 1500 rpm, it allows the truck to tow a maximum of 3.5 metric tons (7,716 lb) braked, and carry up to 961 kg (2,119 lb) of payload with the manual transmission (952 kg / 2,099 lb with the automatic). The GVM has also been uprated, rising 100 kg (220 lb) from 3,150 kg (6,945 lb) to 3,250 kg (7,165 lb).

“The PRO-4X Warrior by Premcar is a true Warrior 2.0, delivering more technology, more capability and more go-anywhere toughness than any Navara before it,” said Premcar Engineering Director Bernie Quinn. “We set out to create the most capable Navara ever, and this new Warrior is exactly that. It’s been engineered from the ground up to tackle the toughest terrain Australia can deliver, all without sacrificing comfort. Any new model should be a true evolution, and that’s exactly what we’ve achieved with this Warrior. It benefits from all of our learnings, our customer feedback, and from the improvements made to the Navara PRO-4X, creating a new dual-cab ute that is tailor-made for Australian conditions. Now all that’s left is to get people behind the wheel, and that time is almost here.”

2022 Corvette C8 Starts From AU$144,990 In Australia, Sales Start In Q4

Australian enthusiasts have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the right-hand drive (RHD) C8 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray ever since it was unveiled in mid-2019 and finally, pricing and availability details for the car have been announced.

Set to be sold by the newly-established General Motors Speciality Vehicles (GMSV), the 2022 Chevrolet Corvette will be offered in five flavors, kicking off with the 2LT trim that’s priced from AU$144,990 (US$110,189) plus on-road costs.

Those who want something more will be able to buy the 3LT trim level from AU$160,500 (US$121,976) plus on-roads. The hardtop range will then be topped out by a special Carbon Edition, pricing details of which have not yet been announced. Importantly, all C8 Corvette models imported into Australia will come as standard with the must-have Z51 Performance pack that includes magnetically-controlled suspension, enlarged Brembo brakes, a new rear spoiler, electronically-controlled limited-slip differential, and a unique exhaust. Aussie cars also land standard with a front-axle lift system.

Details about the Corvette Carbon Edition are limited at this stage but it will reportedly receive hand-picked interior trims, distinctive wheels, a bespoke finish on the brake calipers, and an ‘owners pack’, details of which have yet to be confirmed.

The 2022 Corvette will also be offered in Convertible guise with the same 2LT and 3LT trim levels, each priced at an extra AU$15,000 (US$11,399) over comparable coupe models.

It is the epitome of a true icon as it has heritage, performance and unparalleled desirability – generation after generation,” GMSV head Jo Stogiannis said in a statement.

2021 Lexus RC Becomes More Appealing With Technical Improvements

Lexus has announced a series of updates for its RC sports coupe in Australia, which cover a whole bunch of stuff, from the upgraded powertrain to new features and two additional paint finishes.

One such novelty is the new adaptive control software for the eight-speed auto ‘box. The transmission, which is standard on both the RC 300 and the RC 350 models, offers improved gear changes, selecting a higher gear in normal driving modes to improve the fuel efficiency, and chooses and holds lower gears if sporty driving is detected.

The revised RC lineup also features a new stabilizer bar at the rear, with an increased diameter and reduced wall thickness. There is also a new high-strength aluminum upper arm, which reduces weight and improves rigidity. The final hardware improvement comes in the shape of an electric parking brake, which has replaced the old foot-operated pedal.

The engine options are unchanged, with the RC 300 packing a turbocharged 2.0-liter petrol pumping out 180 kW (245 PS / 241 HP) and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) of torque, and returning 7.3 l/100 km (32.2 mpg US) on average. The RC 350 uses a 3.5-liter V6 petrol, with 232 kW (315 PS / 311 HP) and 380 Nm (280 lb-ft), and has a combined fuel consumption of 9.1 l/100 km (25.9 mpg US).

The car’s safety has been improved with the addition of the new Radar Active Cruise Control, which is standard across the range. Other tech includes Pre-Collision Safety, Pre-Collision Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning with Steering Assist, Blind Spot Monitor with Lane Change Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, reversing camera and automatic high beams.

Features such as the heated and ventilated power-operated front seats, leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, 10.3-inch infotainment system with sat-nav, digital radio and smartphone integration, and Pioneer premium audio are still on deck.

Pricing for the 2021 RC starts at AU$67,990 (US$49,712) Down Under, while the cheapest V6-powered model is available from AU$70,736 (US$51,720), a AU$100 (US$73) premium over the outgoing iteration.

Full pricing details can be seen below and exclude on-road costs and dealer fees.

Updated 2021 Fiat Mobi For South America Gains $8,500 Trekking Variant With SUV-Like Ground Clearance

More than four years after its debut in South America in mid-2016, the Fiat Mobi city car has received a series of updates for the 2021MY.

The most important of them is the addition of a new Trekking variant which tops the range as a crossover-flavored alternative to the lesser Easy and Like trim levels. Features typical to the Mobi Trekking include longitudinal roof bars, black roof and partially black hood, dedicated 14-inch alloys (or steelies with darkened caps), black mirror caps, new ‘Trekking’ decals, and an exclusive fabric upholstery with orange stitching inside.

The styling upgrades come in addition to the changes made to the rest of the 2021 Mobi lineup. Those include a much higher ground clearance of 190 mm / 7.5 inches (up from 156 mm / 6.1 in) – an impressive figure considering the Duster 4×2 rides 205 mm (8.1 in) above the ground. The increased ride height also results in a higher approach angle of 24 degrees – the highest in the segment.

Other updates include a new grille with the new Fiat logo script and flag also found on the latest Strada, revised front bumper, new wheel arch trims, and new wheel covers for the Like grade.

Inside, the 2021 Mobi’s main update is the latest-generation UConnect infotainment system with a 7-inch touchscreen, available for the Like and Trekking models. It features Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, thus offering access to navigation via Waze and Google Maps, voice recognition (Siri and Google Voice), music streaming, and two simultaneous smartphone connections via Bluetooth.

Nothing changes under the hood, with the 2021 Fiat Mobi carrying on with the Fire Evo Flex 1.0-liter four-cylinder bi-fuel engine (petrol/ethanol). The power plant offers up to 75 PS (74 HP) at 6,250 rpm when running on ethanol. Prices in Brazil range from R$38,990 (approximately $7,000) for the base Mobi Easy and R$47,390 ($8,500) for the Mobi Trekking. The Mobi is one of the most popular Fiat models in Brazil, with more than 215,000 units sold since 2016.
