  • Honda Civic Vs Toyota Corolla
    Family Hatchback Comparison: Honda Civic Vs Toyota Corolla If we list out some of the best selling cars around the world, both the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla usually top it, selling millions of examples annually. Around 300,000 Civics were sold last year in the U.S alone, followed by the Corolla at 250,000. While both of them promise simple motoring for an affordable price, there are some considerable differences between the two. So which is the better choice? Here, let’s take a look at the differences between the two and help you choose your next family hatchback. If you are looking for top hatchbacks for sale, these two can be relied upon with closed eyes. today just like their sedan counterparts. Unlike the Toyota Corolla which received a redesign back in 2018, the Honda Civic is all-new for 2022 with a redesigned body, updated interiors, and a longer feature list. Fortunately, it still balances ride and handling exceptionally well. The new Civic is only available in both sedan and hatchback body styles, as the coupe is discontinued due to low sales. We can expect the new Civic Hatchback to reach showrooms later in 2021, and it will be built in the U.S, unlike the previous generation. This time around, Honda has given the Hatchback a much sportier design to attract younger buyers. On the flip side, the Toyota Corolla remains mostly unchanged since the latest generation was launched in 2018. Unlike the Civic, the Corolla is the more affordable option here with many more features, and also has Toyota’s legendary reliability on its side.

  • Toyota, Nissan, Honda and Mitsubishi Agree to Joint Development of Charging Infrastructure for Phvs, Phevs and Evs in Japan
    Toyota Motor Corporation Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. Honda Motor Co., Ltd. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation Toyota, Nissan, Honda and Mitsubishi Agree to Joint Development of Charging Infrastructure for PHVs, PHEVs and EVs in Japan TOKYO, Japan (July 29, 2013) – Toyota Motor Corporation, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., Honda Motor Co., Ltd., and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation jointly announced their agreement to work together to promote the installation of chargers for electric-powered vehicles (PHVs, PHEVs, EVs*) and build a charging network service that offers more convenience to drivers in Japan. The move is in recognition of the critical need to swiftly develop charging infrastructure facilities to promote the use of electric-powered vehicles. Assisted by subsidies provided by the Japanese government, the four automakers will bear part of the cost to install the charging facilities. They will also work together to build a convenient and accessible charging network in collaboration with companies that are already providing charging services in which each of the four automakers already have a financial stake. At present, there are about 1,700 quick chargers and just over 3,000* normal chargers in Japan, which is generally recognized to be insufficient. In addition, the lack of sufficient coordination among existing charging providers can be improved to offer better charging service to customers. The government announced subsidies for installation of charging facilities totaling 100.5 billion yen as part of its economic policy for fiscal year 2013 to quickly develop the charging infrastructure and expand the use of electric-powered vehicles using alternative energy sources. Currently, each prefecture in Japan is drawing up a vision for the use of the subsidies.
