If we talk about the gasoline version, then it is credited with a 160 hp turbo engine, and it will work with a robotic transmission. The Creta will get this powertrain from the new Verna (aka Accent/Solaris). The Hyundai Creta 2024 will premiere in India early next year.

The advertisement allegedly encourages off-road driving. The UK’s Advertising Standards Authority has said Toyota’s new advert breaches environmental social responsibility rules. The Toyota Hilux attracts fans with its practicality, ruggedness and ability to tackle almost any terrain. However, the vehicle’s off-road capabilities did not sit well with the UK’s advertising regulator, which ruled that the campaign, which showcased the truck’s off-road capabilities, encouraged drivers to go off-road at the expense of the environment. According to carscoops, this was the first time the Advertising Standards Authority has blocked an ad for such a reason. Two 2020 materials are mentioned. The first video was shown […]

The advertisement allegedly encourages off-road driving. The UK's Advertising Standards Authority has said Toyota's new advert breaches environmental social responsibility rules. The Toyota Hilux attracts fans with its practicality, ruggedness and ability to tackle almost any terrain. However, the vehicle's off-road capabilities did not sit well with the UK's advertising regulator, which ruled that the campaign, which showcased the truck's off-road capabilities, encouraged drivers to go off-road at the expense of the environment. According to carscoops, this was the first time the Advertising Standards Authority has blocked an ad for such a reason. https://youtu.be/o9UGhOWLimo Two 2020 materials are mentioned. The first video was shown on social networks. It contains several Hiluxes driving along the river bed. The video compared them to a herd of wild animals, and the voice-over said that we were watching “one of the true wonders of nature.” The second ad banned is a poster showing Toyota SUVs with the caption “Born to Roam.” Precedent: This Toyota SUV ad was banned for the first time due to potential environmental damage In its defence, Toyota said the Hilux was "designed for the toughest conditions" and that in some industries, such as agriculture and forestry, there was a real need for the off-road capability shown in the adverts. The statement also said that the footage was filmed in Slovenia on private land with the owner's permission and that the brand's efforts to go green since 1997 have proven how committed it is to caring for the planet.

These old cars are still running The magazine “Behind the Wheel” presented a list of SUVs costing up to half a million rubles, which will not cause significant financial damage during operation. The leader of this rating was Lada 4×4. For 500 thousand rubles you can buy a Niva from 2015–2016. Experts emphasize that the model’s engine is reliable, but requires maintenance. Especially off-road enthusiasts are advised to pay attention to improving the breathers of the front and rear gearboxes, since in the standard version they are ineffectively protected from moisture and dirt, which can accelerate wear of the components. In second place […]

In second place is the first generation Kia Sportage. For the specified amount you can find one of the last copies of the 2005-2006 release. Despite some weak points, such as the front wheel bearings and front axle couplings, overall the car proves to be durable and reliable. Jeep Cherokee and Kia Sportage included in the new “Behind the Wheel” rating [caption id="attachment_83811" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Jeep Cherokee and Kia Sportage[/caption] Third place went to the Suzuki Grand Vitara; the average age of first-generation cars offered for sale is 20 years. However, despite its age, this SUV not only retains its character, but also remains reliable. The magazine advises paying attention to cars with gasoline engines, especially the 128-horsepower two-liter unit, which is considered the most reliable. This list includes the first generation Jeep Cherokee XJ. Experts recommend choosing cars with 2-liter in-line gasoline engines, as they combine reliability and dynamism.
