2022 Toyota Supra Gets A $300 Bump In Price And A New $63k Carbon Fiber Edition

Written by admin

Toyota has announced pricing for the 2022 Supra range and the cost of buying the car has risen, as has the cost of shipping the car to you.

For 2022, the entry-level 2.0-liter Supra rings in at $43,290, $300 more from its base price in 2021, which was $42,990. That’s not the extent of it, though. For 2022, Toyota has also upped its “Delivery Processing & Handling fee” from $995 to $1,025. So customers who waited until this year to buy a cheap Supra will actually be paying $330 more than they would have last year.

Prices for the 3.0-liter Supra have risen even more. Starting at $51,640 ($52,665 w/ destination) in 2022, that’s $650 more than customers were paying in 2021, which was already $1,000 more than they were paying in 2020.

The GR Supra 3.0 Premium also gets a bit of a price bump for 2022, with an MSRP of $54,790 ($55,815 w/ destination), or $300 more than it cost last year. It gets a red leather-trimmed interior option and models equipped with the Premium Audio package get full-screen Apple Car Play.

Finally, the A91-Carbon Fiber Edition is new to the lineup and prices start at a whopping $63,280 ($64,305 w/ destination). The model is limited to just 600 examples, though, and is the most exclusive Mark V Supra to date. It features handmade carbon fiber accents, including a duckbill spoiler, a front splitter, and rockers. It also gets unique 19-inch wheels and can be finished in matte-gray Phantom, Absolute Zero White, or Nitro Yellow.

Like the other 3.0-liter Supras, it makes 382 hp (387 PS/285 kW) and can get to 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 3.9 seconds. The 2.0-liter model, meanwhile, develops 255 hp (259 PS/190 kW) and can reach highway speeds in just five seconds. Both make more power than they did in 2020 thanks to upgrades introduced last year.

As a nice added touch, every 2022 GR Supra comes with a complimentary one-year membership to the National Auto Sport Association (NASA), which gives them access to perks like discounted admission to NASA events and a free high-performance driving event.

2022 Toyota Avalon Drops AWD And TRD, Starts From $36,375 For Its Final Year

Written by admin

The fifth-generation Avalon might have been introduced in 2018, but Toyota has confirmed that 2022 will mark the end of its production. Today, the automaker announced pricing for the 2022 MY alongside a few changes in the lineup.

The 2022 Toyota Avalon starts from $36,375 (excluding the $1,025 fee), making it $250 more expensive than last year’s model.

The full-size sedan is not available in AWD variants anymore, while the sporty TRD trim was also dropped from the range. The good news for prospective buyers is the addition of new safety features as standard, including the upgraded Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+ package (dynamic radar cruise control, lane tracing assist, blind-spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, etc), and the addition of a rear-seat reminder system.

Just like last year, the Avalon is available with gas and hybrid powertrains. The 3.5-liter V6 produces 301 hp (224 kW / 305 PS) and 267 lb-ft (362 Nm) of torque, mated to an eight-speed Direct Shift automatic gearbox that sends power to the front axle. The hybrid combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with two electric motors producing a combined 215 hp (160 kW / 218 PS) and comes with a fuel economy rating of 44 mpg combined.

The 2022 lineup includes six trim levels, including the XSE Nightshade Edition that is visually differentiated from the glossy black accents, the 19-inch wheels, and the rear diffuser. Inside, variants are differentiated with the base XLE featuring SofTex upholstery and “engineered wood” trim, the Limited coming with perforated leather and genuine wood sourced from Yamaha, and the Touring with perforated SofTex / Ultrasuede and aluminum trim.

New Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 Priced From £155k In The UK, Nearly £16k More Than 751HP Taycan Turbo S

Written by admin

Two months ago, Mercedes unveiled the AMG EQS 53 at the Munich Motor Show as the first electric vehicle to wear the AMG badge. Now, the German automaker has released pricing for it, and it’s about what you’d expect for a range-topping high-performance EV sedan.

The EQS 53 will start at £154,995 (equal to around $208,000 at current exchange rates) in the UK, or 55% more than the base EQS 450’s starting price of £99,995. It’s also more expensive than the current flagship Porsche Taycan Turbo S that’s rated for 761PS / 751HP and kicks off from £139,280 (about $186,900).

For that money, you get a dual-motor AWD drivetrain producing 649 hp (658 PS / 484 kW) and 701 lb-ft (950 Nm) of instant electric torque. Upgrade to the AMG Performance Package with the Night Edition that pushes the starting price to £163,900 (around $220,000) though, and that same drivetrain produces 751 hp (761 PS / 560 kW) and 752 lb-ft (1020 Nm) of torque.

The former enables a 3.8-second sprint to 62 mph (100 km/h) with a top speed of 137 mph (220 km/h), while the latter allows for 3.4 seconds to 62 mph with a top speed of 155 mph (249 km/h). The range is the same for both, with a WLTP-estimated 358 miles (576 km) on tap from the car’s 107.8 kWh battery.

Standard features on all variants include the 56-inch Hyperscreen, an AR heads-up display, Nappa leather upholstery, a Burmester® surround sound system, a Parking package with Active Parking Assist, and 360° camera, Driving Assistance Package Plus, AMG sound programs, AMG-specific bodywork, and an AMG steering wheel.

Included with the Night Edition are 21-inch AMG alloy wheels, a flat-bottomed sport steering wheel, and sport pedals. Upgrading to the £8,995 AMG Performance Package (which is only available with the Night Edition) gets you carbon-ceramic brakes, AMG Dynamic Plus boost for Race Start, the AMG Sound Experience, the AMG Driver’s Package with increased top speed, AMG TRACK PACE, and AMG carbon-fiber interior trim.

Finally, serving as a counterpart to the bold Night Edition is the more subtle Touring specification, which comes with 22-inch AMG multi-spoke alloy wheels and elegant ambient lighting in the cabin. On top of that, you can opt for the £2,995 Rear Luxury Lounge package (only available with the Touring), which outfits the multi-contour rear seats with black Exclusive Nappa leather upholstery, power reclining, luxury headrests, neck and shoulder heating, comfort armrests, separate climate controls, an MBUX tablet, wireless charging, and additional USB ports.

The 2022 Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+ is currently on sale now, with the first UK deliveries expected to arrive in April 2022.

In The Market For A Slightly Used Vehicle? Check Out These Models With The Biggest Savings

Written by admin

It’s no secret that buying used can save you money, but is that still true now that used car prices are up?

iSeeCars’ latest study aimed to find out and the answer is unsurprising yes. However, your saving will vary greatly depending on what model you’re in the market for.

According to the study, the average one-year old vehicle costs 17% less than a new one. However, the price difference varies from as little as a 2.1% difference to as much as a 36.4% difference.

The Tesla Model 3 had the smallest price difference as buying a one-year old model will only save customers $923, which is a difference of 2.1%. Following closely behind was the Toyota Tacoma, which is 4.2% cheaper used for a savings of $1,557. Rounding out the top five are the Kia Telluride ($2,456), Ford Ranger ($2,416) and Jeep Gladiator ($3,373). These relatively modest savings mean customers are likely better off buying new.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, some vehicles depreciate like a rock and that means buying used can save you over $20,000. That’s the case with the BMW 5-Series which is 36.4% cheaper used for a saving of $24,207. The Hyundai Sonata is also a one-year old bargain as prices drop 36.1% for a savings of $9,898.

Other models with big savings after a year are the Infiniti Q50 ($16,322), Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross ($8,041) and Ford Mustang Convertible ($13,422). Unsurprisingly, a number of vehicles on the ‘best to buy used list’ are sedans and luxury cars. Sedans have fallen out of favor with crossover obsessed consumers, while luxury vehicles are ripe for depreciation.

In the end, it really comes down to what you want and how flexible you can be. iSeeCars Executive Analyst Karl Brauer also noted, “While buying used typically provides upfront cost savings compared to buying new, sometimes used vehicles only offer minimal savings, especially when finance rates and rebates on new models are taken into account.”

VW California 6.1 Range Welcomes Back ‘Beach’ Model

Written by admin

VW’s California 6.1 van range is set to welcome back the ‘Beach’ variant in the UK from £52,062, on sale towards the end of this month.

The new California 6.1 Beach will be available with two specifications (Camper and Tour) and its main goal is to make the California range more accessible for larger families, as well as those who need a more flexible MPV to take genuine trips in.

The VW California is already the camper van of choice for so many UK motorists, and adding a new version will only serve to make the range more comprehensive.

First deliveries are expected by March 2021, with both Camper and Tour specs featuring a manual pop-up hydraulic roof, 17-inch alloy wheels, DAB radio with App Connect and a camping table with two folding chairs. Power will come via a 2.0-liter TDI diesel unit with 150 PS, mated to a seven-speed direct-shift gearbox (DSG).

The California Beach 6.1 Tour model comes with five seats as standard, although you can increase the configuration to six or seven – in turn this would make this van the only factory-produced camper on the market capable to seat these many people. It also has sliding doors on both sides, and the asking price is as previously stated, £52,062 ($67,357).

As for the Camper spec, it has just four seats as standard (with an option to increase to five), as well as a pull-out mini kitchen with a single gas hob and pull-out awning. The Beach 6.1 Camper is priced from £52.302 ($67,667).
