Tokyo Motor Show

Join Paul Maric, Mike Costello, and Josh Dowling as they are live from the 2019 Tokyo motor show. They discuss their thoughts on the Mazda MX-30, Mazda's first all-electric car that hasn't yet been confirmed for Australia. The guys also discuss why the 2020 Honda Jazz will be great for the Japanese brand. Honda has suggested the all-new Jazz could have a local launch date of 2020.

The Nissan Navara is as good as it’s going to get in terms of performance for the time being – having just received an update that includes tougher rear suspension, Apple CarPlay, and a digital speed display. The company is poised to change gear and focus on an “electrified” version of future Nissan Navara models – rather than finding more power from the current twin-turbo diesel 2.3-litre four-cylinder.

Another day, another electric vehicle. This time around it's from Mazda, and it blends all the hallmarks of a sporty city SUV with a fully-electric heart. The MX-30 debuts Mazda's pure-electric e-SkyActiv platform, along with a number of new interior technologies likely to filter through the rest of the Japanese brand's line-up in due course.

No, that's not the concept. Lexus has been snapped shooting a commercial for its upcoming 2020 LC Convertible, and looks just as show-stopping as we'd hoped. Set for reveal at the Tokyo motor show, the LC Convertible is exactly what you'd expect – a drop-top version of the LC500 coupe, with power (hopefully) from a free-revving Yamaha V8 and/or the LC500h's V6 hybrid system.

Lexus has teased an all-electric concept, set to make its debut at the Tokyo motor show later this month. The as-yet unnamed BEV concept will offer "a glimpse into Lexus' future vision, which caters to consumers who are equally passionate about driving and uniquely crafted luxury experiences". Previously, Lexus has confirmed its first pure-electric vehicle will be a boxy hatchback designed to thrive in crowded urban environments like Tokyo.
