NEW DETAILS: WHAT JAPAN IS SAYING ABOUT THE 2024 MAZDA 6 AND NEW TOYOTA COUPE

EV Channels Review

This video delves into exciting potential revivals and new models emerging from Japan, with a particular focus on the Mazda 6 sedan and a new Toyota Crown coupe/convertible. The reviewer expresses skepticism about the Mazda 6's reported Winter 2022 release, suggesting a 2023 or later debut is more realistic, especially given Mazda's current SUV focus. However, new renders and details about its potential rear-wheel-drive platform, inline-six engines, and mild-hybrid options are highlighted as promising. For Toyota, the prospect of a Crown coupe and convertible is met with enthusiasm, though the reviewer notes their niche appeal and potential for a hybrid powertrain similar to the Crown Sport. Updates on the Prius suggest a sportier, more coupe-like design and an improved hybrid system for better fuel efficiency. The Lexus IS is predicted to go fully electric by 2025, potentially as a sport wagon. Overall, the video offers a speculative but detailed look at future Japanese automotive offerings, emphasizing the potential return of enthusiast-focused models.
