Not a Cybertruck, but also waiting a few years. The queue for the budget crossover Toyota Hyryder stretched for three years
Introduced in July last year, the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder crossover proved to be very popular in India – so much so that it will take up to three years to wait for it in some versions! True, the point here is not only in high demand, but also in the policy of the company.
The thing is that Toyota prefers to assemble top-end versions (this is included in the production plan), so their waiting period is less – about 4 months. Customers will have to wait up to three years for the basic version with “mechanics”, with “automatic” – a little more than two years. It is not surprising that dealers persuade buyers to purchase cars in more expensive versions – they can be obtained much earlier.
Why is the production plan drawn up with a clear bias in favor of expensive versions? There is speculation that Toyota is primarily interested in promoting and selling versions of the Hyryder with its hybrid system, and it is just included in the most expensive trim levels.
Recall, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder is the fruit of close cooperation between Toyota and Suzuki. In the Indian market, the Hyryder has a sibling in the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara.
Hyryder is built on the Suzuki Global C platform. The dimensions of the crossover are 4365 x 1795 x 1635 mm, the wheelbase is 2600 mm. The car is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine with a capacity of 102 hp. (this is just a Suzuki engine, and it is included in the equipment of the basic version), and a hybrid power plant from the Yaris Cross with a capacity of 115 hp.
Recall that earlier Elon Musk announced that the mass production of the Cybertruck pickup truck will start in the United States in 2024. Here the delay is still the same three years.
BYD introduced the new Denza N8 crossover, which is an upgraded version of the BYD Tang model.
The announcement turned out to be formal: the manufacturer published the first images, but did not disclose details about the technical component of Denza N8.
According to Chinese Automobiles, Denza N8 will be available with hybrid and pure electric powertrains. In addition, it is known that buyers will be able to choose between the number of seats in the cabin (5, 6 or 7).
The original BYD Tang was released in 2015, a second generation followed in 2018 and is still in production today. In 2019, Denza X was released based on this model, which was created in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz. Denza N8 replaces Denza X.
Prices and other details about the Denza N8 will be made public later.
Tesla has released a limited edition Cybertruck-themed GigaBier beer. Beer is offered for $30.
It is worth recognizing that this is not the first original idea from Elon Musk’s companies. Previously, The Boring Company offered flamethrowers and Burnt Hair cologne with the smell of burnt hair, and Tesla released a Cyberwhistle in the spirit of Cybertruck. Of course, there was Tesla branded tequila. By the way, at the time of its announcement, they also thought that this was an April Fool’s joke.
The Tesla GigaBier bottle is designed to mimic the shape of the Cybertruck, paying homage to the 500-year-old Reinheitsgebot tradition of German brewing. Enjoy this beer brewed in Berlin with our exclusive Cyberhops and notes of citrus, bergamot and sweet fruit. Each bottle has a glow-in-the-dark Giga logo.

The Chinese sat down Qualcomm and Nvidia? China launches its own 7nm SoC for cars with 8-core CPU, 14-core GPU and LPDDR5 memory support
Many cars are now equipped with Qualcomm SoCs (which are responsible for both multimedia capabilities and driver assistance systems) and Nvidia Drive systems-on-a-chip (for advanced autonomous driving functions). But China managed to release a competitor, if not to Nvidia platforms, then to Qualcomm for sure: mass production of the 7-nanometer SoC Dragon Eagle No. 1 for use in cars (so-called “digital cockpit systems”).
Wang Kai, CEO of SiEngine Technology, said work on Dragon Eagle No. 1 was carried out for three years. During this time, the system was developed, verified, tested and launched into mass production.
SoC includes all standard components including 8-core CPU, 14-core GPU, LPDDR5-6400 memory controller, 8 TOPS Neural Processor (AI Task Accelerator), ISP, DSP clusters and other typical Components.
It is reported that as early as the middle of the year, many new car models will be released in China that will use the Dragon Eagle No. 1. Among these automakers are Geely and FAW.
