Shenzhen – September 15, 2026 -- AKEEYO Global has launched the XPRO, a 4K dash cam built exclusively for the Toyota RAV4 that replaces the plastic housing behind the rearview mirror instead of sticking to the windshield. The camera is now available in North America at akeeyo.com for $289.

The camera draws power from a connector already near the mirror

There is no suction mount, no cable taped down the glass, and no visible hardware on the dashboard. AKEEYO says installation takes about four minutes: owners remove the factory mirror cover with an included trim tool, plug in a supplied adapter, tuck the cable into the XPRO housing, and press the unit into place. The process requires no drilling, cutting, or wire splicing, and the original mirror housing can be reinstalled at any time, a detail relevant for leased vehicles and resale.

Plano, Texas – September 07, 2026 -- Lexus has unveiled the redesigned 2027 NX compact crossover, confirming the lineup will be 100% electrified with buyers choosing between a hybrid-electric (HEV) or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain. The model is expected to reach global markets by late 2026.

Four trims arrive in each powertrain option

The NX range will offer four versions across both HEV and PHEV setups: Premium, Premium+, F SPORT and Luxury.

The PHEV battery delivers more range and faster charging

The NX 450h+ uses a newly developed lithium-ion battery with an 8% power increase and 30% more capacity than its predecessor. Lexus estimates certain PHEV versions will achieve more than 40 miles of electric-only range, though official EPA ratings will be released closer to launch. DC fast-charging and a fast-charge port cover now come standard on PHEV models.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- June 6, 2026 -- Toyota has taken another significant step in its hydrogen motorsport programme, entering the #32 TGRR GR Corolla H2 concept in the NAPAC Fuji 24 Hours Race on June 5 and 6 at Fuji Speedway — and doing so with a genuine world first under the bonnet. The liquid hydrogen-powered GR Corolla is the first race car ever to compete equipped with a superconducting liquid hydrogen pump, a technology unveiled only at the final round of the 2025 Super Taikyu Series. For anyone who cares about where motorsport and clean energy are heading, this is one of the most technically significant races happening anywhere in the world right now.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- June 2, 2026 -- Toyota's GAZOO Racing division has just pulled the wraps off the GRMN Corolla, the most extreme and track-focused version of the GR Corolla ever created, making its world premiere today after being forged through real motorsport competition and relentless testing at Germany's legendary Nürburgring circuit. This is not a cosmetic upgrade or a badge-engineering exercise — every element of the GRMN Corolla, from its aerodynamics and suspension to its cockpit and engine, has been pushed to its limits by engineers and professional drivers in pursuit of one goal: building a Corolla that can be driven flat-out on one of the world's most punishing roads. Available in limited numbers primarily in Japan, North America, and Australia, this is a car aimed squarely at enthusiasts who want a genuine motorsport experience in a road car.
