Toyota announced a mysterious electric pickup

At a recent event in Belgium, Toyota released a teaser announcing the arrival of a mysterious electric pickup truck. It is one of several upcoming Toyota models, among which will be an electric SUV that will arrive in 2026.

Some information suggests that the new electric pickup will not be related to the Hilux model that Toyota is developing for the Australian and Thai markets. It will have a double cabin like the Hilux prototype that the Japanese manufacturer is testing in Australia.

There are many rumors about the car. Some believe that Toyota will use one of its existing platforms in this case, and that it will share the improved electric motors that power the improved bZ4X and the new C-HR+. One option is that Toyota will develop an electric Tacoma model, inspired by the concept announced in 2021. However, given the fact that this name is not used in Europe, many believe that it could be a production version of the EPU concept that was revealed two years ago, and whose arrival on the market is expected in 2027.

2026 Toyota Urban Cruiser premiere

By the end of 2025, Toyota will launch six new electric models in the European market, one of which is the Urban Cruiser. This electric crossover was revealed on March 11 in Brussels.

The Urban Cruiser is larger than the Yaris Cross Hybrid and offers a more spacious interior thanks to its 2,700 mm wheelbase. Based on a new electric platform, Toyota has opted for LFP batteries for this model, which are longer-lasting and cheaper to produce than lithium-ion batteries. It comes with a Battery Care program, which includes a warranty of up to 10 years / 1 million kilometers.

The interior of the car is equipped with sliding rear seats that allow more space for passengers or luggage, a 10.25-inch digital instrument panel, a 10.1-inch multimedia screen, 12-color interior lighting, adaptive cruise control, a collision avoidance system and a lane-keeping system, and buyers can optionally get a 360-degree camera, JBL sound system and a panoramic roof.

When it comes to the powertrain, buyers can choose between three versions. The first version is equipped with a single electric motor with 144 hp, a 49 kWh battery that allows a range of 300 kilometers, and has front-wheel drive. The second version offers front-wheel drive, 174 hp, front-wheel drive, and a 61 kWh battery that allows 400 kilometers on a single charge. The third version comes with all-wheel drive, 184 hp, and a 61 kWh battery and a range of 350 kilometers. This version has an additional 48 kW electric motor mounted on the rear axle, and is equipped with Downhill Assist Control and Trail Mode systems to help the driver on difficult terrain.

2000 Honda S2000 sold at auction for $95,000

Between 1999 and 2009, Honda produced over 110,000 units of the open top sports car, the Honda S2000. It is a modern classic that still sells for a lot of money, and one example, a 2000 Honda S2000, recently sold for $95,000.

This Honda S2000 is in excellent condition and has only 42 miles (67 kilometers). Considering that the car has been driven very little in the past 25 years, it is no surprise that it has been perfectly preserved. It is finished in Silverstone metallic over a black interior. What makes this model special is that unlike most Honda cars, it has rear-wheel drive.

The previous owner was a buyer from New York, and it is not known who the new owner of this car is. The car was estimated at $60,000 – $80,000, but the new owner paid much more.

The Honda S2000 is powered by a 2.0-L DOHC inline-4 engine with 240 hp @ 8300 rpm and 153 lb-ft @ 7500 rpm, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission.
