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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
