In 1994, Toyota pioneered the small sports utility vehicle market with the RAV4, which nearly 30 years later with the now ‘grown-up’ version, is the best-selling SUV in the world. Now, with its new ‘baby’ Yaris Cross the Japanese automotive giant is aiming to continue its success in the compact More
Toyota Corolla is a very popular car worldwide and became the number one seller of all time in 1997. It was built in many countries, including Australia. However, all are now imported. It started as a small rear-wheel-drive, two-door sedan in 1966 and over the years has moved up to More
The Toyota HiLux pickup is one of Australia’s most popular choices, in fact the most popular for the last five years in a row. Of course, that figure is boosted by mining, farming and fleet purchases but more than ever, families too are taking the dual-cab route. It makes sense, More
The Toyota Crown always offered good value for money but never sold in large quantities, unlike smaller Toyota vehicles, compared with comparable Holdens and Fords of tits time. Perhaps its rather bland and conservative looks contributed to this situation for on driving aspects alone it was at least equal to More
Toyota Kluger isn’t a serious off-road vehicle designed to conquer the great Australian outback. Rather it’s aimed at those looking for a medium to large station wagon to carry the family.

Buyers of the new Toyota Corolla Sedan need not feel cheated by missing out on little extras often only available in a hatchback. What’s more, the booted variant shares the sharp good looks and pricing of its five-door sibling. Toyota Australia Vice-President Sales and Marketing, Sean Hanley, says Toyota had More
My first impression on viewing Queensland Rail’s wooden carriages in the 1970s was of rolling stock of some tribute to historic transport. The Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series recently had a similar first-up effect. ToyotaÆs latest version of the legendary large four-wheel-drive wagon looks as rugged as ever. None of More
Though it has ‘proper 4WD’ body-on-chassis construction the Toyota Prado is aimed at buyers who will do most of their driving on-road – but who do want to get serious at times in moderate to harsh off-road conditions. Prado has been sold in Australia since 1996, but in this feature More
