The Toyota Hilux Rangga is making waves with its transformation from a rugged pickup to a family-friendly SUV. Set to launch in early 2025, this three-row, seven-seater SUV is designed with budget-conscious buyers in mind. Retaining the trusted front design of the Hilux pickup, the Rangga SUV gets a complete overhaul from the B-pillar back, featuring a taller roof, roof rails, a large tailgate with "Rangga" lettering, and a rugged design enhanced by unpainted cladding and black alloy wheels. Powered by either a 2.0L gasoline engine (137 hp) or a 2.4L turbodiesel (148 hp), and paired with a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission, the Rangga offers both power and practicality. Built on the proven IMV ladder-frame chassis, it combines durability with affordability. Starting at just under $25,000, the Rangga SUV is a game-changer in its segment, significantly cheaper than the Fortuner but offering similar utility. Will it expand beyond Indonesia? Only time will tell! ...

Machinery manufacturer New Holland dedicated a decade to the development of its groundbreaking CR11 combine harvester, officially unveiled to the public on November 12 at the Agritechnica 2023 trade fair in Hanover, Germany. Distinguished by its striking golden color, a tribute to the prestigious golden Agritechnica medal (innovation prize) received by New Holland, the CR11 will be marketed in the brand's signature yellow. The combine harvester boasts an impressive increase in threshing capacity, with a range of 20% (grain) to 40% (corn) higher than the existing flagship model, the CR10.90.
