The 212 T01 60th Anniversary Edition interior features a two-tone design with exclusive embroidery. Exterior adds commemorative graphics and soft-top. Dimensions are 4705/1895/1936mm with a 2860mm wheelbase, 40° approach and 36° departure angles. The 185kW 2.0T engine pairs with an 8AT, part-time 4WD, optional diff locks and OFFROAD mode, blending rugged capability with modern tech.

Perodua is exploring a RM500 million acquisition of TCMA’s Serendah plant, sources tell The Edge. The 40k-unit-capacity site, only 3 km from Perodua’s headquarters, already leases 30k units annually for QV-E EV paint and assembly, generating RM80 million for cash-strapped Tan Chong whose overall utilization hovers at 13%. The deal would lift Perodua beyond its current 320k maximum output and secure dedicated EV capacity, while Tan Chong monetizes excess assets.

JLR’s 2026 roadmap confirms six debuts, headlined by the first-ever Range Rover EV. Built on MLA-Flex, the 117 kWh pack drives dual motors for 550 PS and 531 km WLTP range via 800 V architecture. Facelifted Range Rover and Sport gain a 12-inch standalone climate touchscreen, while an electric Velar joins the line-up, accelerating Land Rover’s full electrification push.

A newly published BYD patent describes a post-impact control strategy: once a crash is detected, drive and steering motors instantly counteract impact torque to keep the front wheels straight, preventing steering-wheel snatch and secondary accidents. By leveraging electrification for passive safety, the system complements airbags and high-strength steel, and could later integrate with ADAS to guide the damaged vehicle toward a slightly safer trajectory.

New spy shots reveal a heavily camouflaged BYD SUV bearing Yuan badges on wheels and steering wheel, hinting at a “Yuan MAX” slot. The model keeps Dragon Face cues, adopts semi-flush door handles and a stretched C-pillar, pushing length toward 4.7 m and wheelbase beyond 2 720 mm—positioning it between Yuan PLUS and Song Pro in BYD’s expanding SUV line-up.

Toyota has instructed key suppliers to prepare for a 2026 global output of 10 million vehicles—up roughly 6% from an expected 9.94 million in 2025—citing surging hybrid demand, especially in the U.S. The plan secures long-term parts capacity for hybrids’ core components like E-CVT and power electronics, reinforcing Toyota’s lead as EV growth slows and its THS system delivers both fuel economy and cost competitiveness.
