Nissan COO Ashwani Gupta says it is better to limit orders to what can be delivered in a timely manner rather than to potentially aggravate Ariya customers by making them wait too long.

The Nissan Ariya electric crossover has been a long time coming to market. But Automotive News finally got a test drive in Japan.

While GM and Hyundai reel from EV recalls, the Japanese automaker is pitching the safety and reliability of its own batteries as it joins the global EV battle with the bZ4X crossover.

Nissan COO Ashwani Gupta says the carmaker is ready to turbocharge its turnaround, possibly build a new U.S. plant and adopt a build-to-order mindset for more efficient retail sales.

The brand is banking on its awd off-road cred to set its new Solterra EV apart from Tesla and other rivals as it tiptoes into electric vehicles.

The Prius put Toyota on the map as green car hero No. 1 when the hybrid arrived in 1997. But with the fifth-generation redesign just around the corner, the Prius' hybrid drivetrain faces a test for relevance.

The alliance says the partners will jointly launch 35 new EVs over the next five years. And they will pursue a common strategy to secure global battery production capacity of 220 gigawatt-hours by 2030.

Toyota Group megasupplier Aisin is grappling with how and when to shift to a new lineup of electrified products. Profits made from today's internal-combustion vehicles will lead to investment in EV products.

The 2023 Toyota bZ4X will have a lower sticker price than the 2023 Subaru Solterra, but Subaru still has almost all of its $7,500 federal tax credits for customers to use.

Lexus is sticking with a spindle motif. But going forward, it will be structurally incorporated into the solid body paneling. Say so long to the spindle grille; say hello to the "spindle body."

Both Hyundai and Toyota see hydrogen as a viable alternative to battery-electrics. Hyundai just made a bold move forward.
