Mark Miller from Florida bought his Highlander crossover in 2006 – and actively used it as a workhorse. Since Mark’s work is related to road repair, the car drove almost 100 thousand km a year – for 17 years the mileage has exceeded 1 million miles (more than 1.6 million km).

Mark took good care of his Highlander: he never missed service intervals, and he did all the work at the same dealer. Given the reliability of Toyota, the crossover would have traveled more if not for Hurricane Ian, which swept through the United States in September last year. Alas, the elements won a reliable Japanese car.

Nothing to be done – Mark had to buy a new car. However, when this story was heard at Toyota headquarters, Mark decided to thank for his loyalty to the brand: he was presented with a brand new 2023 Highlander Hybrid in a special Bronze Edition.

BYD cuts prices on 100 models to beat Toyota and

BYD is going to beat Toyota and Volkswagen by offering modern cars at very low prices. According to Bloomberg, the Chinese automaker has reduced prices on more than 100 of its electric and hybrid models.

For example, BYD’s new generation-changing Seagull hatchback now costs less than $10,000, while the manufacturer’s best-selling electric sedan, the Qin Plus, costs less than $11,000.

BYD announced the beginning of an era called “electricity is cheaper than oil”, when hybrid and pure electric models become as affordable as traditional models with internal combustion engines, or even cheaper.

Previously, BYD Auto officially announced the production of its 7 millionth new energy vehicle, which turned out to be the Denza N7.
