2024 Toyota Tacoma, 2025 Defender Octa: Automotive News Headlines

The Toyota Tacoma is being redesigned for 2024, adding several variants, including a new Trailhunter model. It will also continue to offer a manual transmission, making it unique in a segment dominated by automatic-only trucks. To see how it runs, click on the following links.

The JLR is a familiar sight in SUVs with beefy engines, and next will be the hardcore Defender, which introduces the new Octa designation. Ahead of its debut later this year, we have fresh spy shots and video of the prototype testing at the Nürburgring.

JLR also plans to launch an electric version of its iconic Range Rover SUV later this year. Reservations are already open, and new teaser photos show a design unchanged from the gas-powered version.
