AutoExec Summary
Toyota is considering using downsized turbo-petrol four-cylinder engines with hybrid assistance in the next-generation Harrier and potentially the RAV4. The new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engines are expected to be more efficient and comply with Euro 7 emissions standards. Toyota is also developing plug-in hybrid technology in collaboration with BYD for models like the Corolla. The RAV4 is due for replacement by late 2025, with the Harrier and Corolla expected in 2026. The new engines are likely to be used in larger models like the Kluger and possibly in future sports cars like the MR2 and Celica.

Brands mentioned: Toyota, Volkswagen, Subaru, Mazda, BYD.
