Toyota repeated the legendary Top Gear test β the new electric Hilux was dropped from a height along with a caravan.
The 760-kilogram caravan was raised to 9 meters and sent straight onto the roof of the pickup. After the impact, the Hilux sustained only minor damage, started right up, and drove away on its own.
The electric pickup was prepped in advance for such tests: the battery was hidden inside the frame, and additional protection was installed underneath.

The Chinese giant BYD has fully launched its new factory in Xi'an at full capacity.
This is the world's first facility that has begun mass production of the second-generation Blade batteries. The main advantage of the new batteries is their support for ultra-fast charging.
The enterprise operates on a complete cycle: from the creation of electrodes to the assembly of finished blocks, and is already supplying batteries for local electric vehicle production, including the new model Seal 08. The company plans to continue increasing production volumes in the second half of 2026.

A prototype of the new rally Toyota was spotted during tests in Spain.
The roar of the 1.6-liter turbo engine, the rumbly chassis, the wide wheel arches, and the impressive
The βroadβ Celica is likely to be a distant relative of the race car: it shares family features, but the technology is different. The βcivilianβ coupe is said to feature the TNGA platform and a 2.0-liter engine.
In other words, the similarities between them may be about as much as between a rally team and a person who bought a Toyota Gazoo Racing overall.
However, Toyota has not yet confirmed the name of the rally prototype or that of the production Celica. Therefore, we currently have only a very loud β in the truest sense of the word β hint.
