Toyota launched the all-new Tacoma back in May, giving the truck a number of much-needed updates to its styling, know-how, and powertrains. The automaker jettisoned the V6 for four-cylinder energy, and a brand new video pits the pickup in opposition to the not too long ago refreshed Chevrolet Colorado in a drag race to see which is quickest.
The Tacoma options the truck’s new turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. It’s down on energy in comparison with the Colorado Trail Boss, making 278 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque in comparison with the Chevy’s 310 hp and 430 lb-ft with the high-output tune.
Mazda has finally decided to update the infotainment systems in its 2 and CX-3 models. Both the supermini and subcompact crossover will now come with a new 8.8-inch system that offers connected services. However, rather than being seamlessly integrated into the dashboard, the system is still presented as a tablet on top. This change applies to the 2024 models available in Japan, but there is hope that the update will be rolled out globally.
Compared to other Mazda models, the 2 and CX-3 were among the last to transition from the previous-generation infotainment setup. The old system can still be found in the 6 midsize sedan/wagon and the MX-5. There are rumors suggesting that the upcoming facelift (ND3) of the MX-5 sports car, which is rear-wheel-drive, will also feature an updated multimedia system, possibly the 8.8-inch display. However, these claims have not been confirmed yet.
