Toyota has been spotted testing a larger variant of the Highlander, which is rumoured to be called the “Grand Highlander.” This larger crossover is likely being developed in response to customer complaints about the lack of space in the third row of seats in the normal Highlander. Based on spy shots of the Grand Highlander, it appears to be slightly larger than the Highlander and features different exhaust set-ups, which suggests that it may be offered with a more powerful engine option. The Grand Highlander also appears to have a longer wheelbase than the Highlander.
It is unclear when the Grand Highlander will be released or which markets will receive it. It is expected to arrive in the middle of 2023. The Grand Highlander may be considered large for markets such as Europe, but other car manufacturers, such as Land Rover, have already released similarly sized vehicles like the 5.4-meter-long Defender 130. It remains to be seen whether the Grand Highlander will be able to meet the needs of customers looking for more space in a crossover vehicle.

Maserati is set to release a brand-new electric two-door coupe in 2023. When the company’s workshop was visited, pictures were taken of the technology under the hood of the vehicle, which showed a significant amount of electronics in place of where the internal combustion engine would typically be located. This is a clear indication that the new Maserati coupe will be purely electric, marking a shift towards more sustainable and environmentally-friendly vehicles for the company.
Details about the new electric coupe are currently scarce, but it is expected to be a high-performance vehicle with a sleek and stylish design. Maserati is known for producing luxury sports cars with powerful engines, and it will be interesting to see how the brand approaches the development of an all-electric vehicle. The transition to electric vehicles is becoming more and more common among car manufacturers, and it will be exciting to see what Maserati has in store for the future of driving.
