The Hiroshima-based automaker plans to introduce the CX-60 in Europe and Japan. It will be the lead-off model for a line of four crossovers built on a newly developed architecture for large vehicles that can accommodated inline 6-cylinder engines and rear-wheel drive setups.

The Nissan Z car, a 400-hp, twin-turbo symbol of the struggling Japanese automaker's revival, is the latest product launch to be derailed by global supply chain woes.

The SUV version of the Crown sedan, a staple in Japan for decades and the first Toyota exported to U.S., will be available as a hybrid, plug-in hybrid and EV, and sold in Japan, China and North America, sources tell Reuters.

Mazda launches several new crossovers this year, in an upmarket shift betting that going bigger is better.

The rollout makes good on a promise to resurrect the blade-twirling powerplant after retiring the technology with the discontinued RX-8 in 2012.

The product surge comes as Mazda repositions its lineup toward the hot-selling utility vehicle segment and tries to move upmarket with bigger, more powerful offerings.

Subaru, citing the advent of electrification and other environmental regulations, said it will not produce a WRX STI with an internal combustion engine based on the recently launched WRX platform.

Infiniti intends to renew nearly every vehicle in its lineup by around 2025.

When Honda rolled out the redesigned subcompact crossover for global markets last year, it left out the U.S. This year, a more rugged North American version will launch.

Toyota's redesign of the full-size Tundra pickup this year kicks off a move for the brand's "Four Brothers" onto a new global body-on-frame platform, while the brand also plans to jump back into the BEV fray next year with the bZ4X crossover.

The RZ will have an all-wheel-drive system that can switch between front, rear wheel drive or all-wheel-drive to improve cornering and road holding.

Subaru will jump into the electric vehicle fray next year with a crossover co-developed with Toyota alongside Toyota's new bZ4X.

While automaker is joining other automakers in embracing EVs, it is reluctant to abandon the sale of combustion-engine vehicles completely.

The new RZ crossover propels Lexus into the all-electric age as a driver's EV that focuses on responsive driving dynamics as well as everyday utility.

Toyota says it will only sell 7,000 of the Japan-built bZ4X crossover EVs in the U.S. by the end of the 2022 calendar year, with pricing starting at $43,215 and a range of up to 252 miles, depending on configuration.
