Toyota has gone for a black and brown theme for the interior, which not only looks refreshing but is a more practical alternative to the usual beige.

Dubbed as ‘Neo Drive’, the motor makes 103hp and 137Nm of torque, and is paired either to a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox.

This car cannot be charged via an electric socket. What a letdown. If the batteries can be charged, then the engine will get used only when the charge is low. This is not the case in this vehicle. It is only making the powertrain more complex. This means an ICE, a battery, and a motor which will result in more maintenance. What is the advantage of it for the buyer? A cleaner engine should also mean at least something for the person paying for it!
