Massive recall on popular cars
Toyota Australia on Tuesday announced it would initiate a recall of about 69,586 vehicles sold in Australia between July 2022 and April 2025.
Not all vehicles sold during the time range are impacted, but include Corolla and Camry hybrids, the Kluger Hybrid, and the RAV4 Hybrid.
The notice stated the vehicles may be impacted by a fault with a 12.3-inch display on the instrument panel, which showy as blank when the vehicle is started.
'Driving without speedometer and any warning may result in an increased risk of an accident in certain driving conditions,' the recall notice stated.
The display would usually show combination metre system information, including warning and indicator lights, vehicles gauges, and messages. The affected vehicles include the Toyota RAV4 (pictured). Supplied Credit: Supplied
Affected vehicles will require an update to the programming, which was improperly repeatedly writing unnecessary data to the memory of the metre.
As such, the metre would deteriorate earlier then expected, according to the recall notice, and would take between one to 2.5 hours to be fixed.
Owners of affected vehicles were told they could 'continue to drive your car' while awaiting the fix, and to contact a dealer or a recall hotline if the error occurred.
The full list of affected vehicles ins available on the Toyota website, including: C-HR Hybrid, Camry Hybrid, Corolla Hatch Hybrid, Corolla Sedan Hybrid, Corolla Hatch petrol, Corolla Sedan petrol, Corolla Cross Hybrid, Corolla Cross petrol, GR Yaris, GR Corolla, Kluger petrol, Kluger Hybrid, RAV4 petrol, and RAV4 Hybrid.

Gadget-filled cars are driving up distractions on the road
To submit a letter to The Age, email letters@ Please include your home address and telephone number below your letter. No attachments. See here for our rules and tips on getting your letter published. ROAD SAFETY On the debate about making driving safer, I wholeheartedly agree with your correspondent (' Take a leaf from my book ', Letters, 17/7) about the inattention of many drivers of 'smart modern cars'. I too have observed drivers of these new cars, which appear to be equipped with so many gadgets that one would need an IT licence also. I have also observed the continual fiddling on screen, which distracts from observing the traffic, while they try to 'optimise their driving experience'. I have an ageing, well-kept and serviced, 15-year-old (automatic) Corolla, which has none of the beeps, squarks and an inclination to decelerate for no reason as in many modern cars. The quality and safety of the journey lies more in the competence of the driver, and maintenance of the vehicle, irrespective of age. The new obsession with so many gadgets in cars, are a distraction in many instances. Petrushka Owen, Hawthorn One foot at a time Your correspondent (Letters, 18/7) suggests that in an automatic, the left foot should be used for brake and the right for accelerator. This ignores an important aspect of driving – driver stability. An advanced driving course I attended emphasised the need to use the left foot on the footrest to help stabilise the driver, particularly when braking. Without this, heavy braking can cause additional body weight to be inadvertently transferred to the brake. Another consequence is the driver's feet hovering over both pedals and playing them like an organ – very confusing for the following car. Bill Clifford, Caulfield North Slower but steady I'm perplexed by the argument calling for an increase in national maximum speed limits, particularly on freeways (' Will the maximum speed limit in Australia ever be raised? ', Drive, 19/7). The author claims that Sydney and Melbourne are 'going backwards' due to reducing speed limits to 40km/h across large parts of their central municipalities. However, lower speed limits are crucial to making walking and bicycling safe for people of different ages, abilities, and capacities. I hardly call this going backwards. There are very real safety implications – in Sweden and France, after speed limits on country roads were reduced by 10km/h, crash fatalities decreased by 8 to 14 per cent. Nathan Pittman, Flemington Dangerous riding The report by Cara Waters (' Injury fears as food delivery riders turn to e-bikes ', 21/7), relating to e-bike injuries is timely. I have watched in horror as these delivery riders weave in and out of traffic, run red lights, speed, and just do all manner of dangerous things. It is time these bikes be registered, and the riders licensed. Kevin Drinan, Bentleigh Overpowered e-bikes As a legal e-bike rider since 2017 with over 20,000 kilometres clocked up, it is obvious to me that there are an increasing number of e-bikes on our suburban streets, foot paths and shared use trails that are too fast to be legal. That is particularly obvious when they are going up steeper hills, or perhaps the riders assisting with peddling are Tour de France athletes! These bikes may have been ordered to comply with the rules, while the motor's label may well confirm that they do, but who knows if the motor is really only 250 watts? Graeme Daniels, Balwyn North Manage compliance The suggestion to classify e-bikes as motor bikes and require their registration is onerous and unworkable. To my knowledge no jurisdiction anywhere in the world has taken such a draconian step. Surely a simpler solution would be the fitting of small compliance plates or tags to e-bikes that state they comply with Australian design rules. This would allow law enforcement officers to quickly identify and deal with non-compliant bikes. Guy Ward, Nunawading

What is a Super Hybrid? New Chinese Car Brand Catchphrase Explained

Reported EV sales dropped 52% in Australia through June 2025 Chinese brands shift focus to 'Super Hybrid' plug-in hybrid technology 'Super Hybrid' simplifies confusing PHEV jargon Models like Geely, MG, Chery, and BYD lead the Super Hybrid push Toyota responds with upcoming RAV4 PHEV amid rising competition Electric vehicle sales have decreased by more than 52% through June 2025 in Australia, and that's bad news if you're a Chinese EV-only car brand that's trying to break into a new market. Brands like Zeekr, DEEPAL, Smart, Polestar, and Xpeng have their work cut out for them if they're going to stay as EV-only brands. However, the majority of Chinese car brands are now hedging their bets on hybrid technology, more specifically, 'Super Hybrid' technology. While their EVs are top-notch, their hybrids are even better, and that's a concern for market leaders like Toyota and its top-selling RAV4. It's also a worry for existing brands that have struggled to adapt to hybrids quickly, including Subaru, which only just launched the long-awaited Forester Hybrid. To dispel the complicated jargon associated with the different types of hybrid technology available, Chinese car brands have joined forces to create the term 'Super Hybrid,' which is another term for 'Plug-in Hybrid' or 'PHEV.' These vehicles have an engine, but can be driven for more than 100km with electric power only. It's genius, here's why. Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV | Image: Supplied / Mitsubishi I've had nothing but trouble trying to explain the differences between PHEV, BEV, MHEV, and all of the other complicated jargon associated with hybrid technology in recent years. I understand it as someone who's driven nearly everything, but I've had nothing but trouble trying to explain the differences to friends and family. I could only imagine what dealers and those on the showroom floor are going through, having to try to explain the differences between the technology to potential buyers. Consumer understanding hasn't been helped by brands like Mitsubishi that have stuck 'EV' badges on the side of their vehicles that require petrol, but they're not the only culprits. Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, and others have been quick to label cars 'Hybrid' that use a simple 48-volt system, which never provides drive to the wheels. The Chinese brands have realised the issues and jumped in with an all-encompassing term that makes your life as a new car buyer easier by explaining these complicated products under one term, 'Super Hybrid.' Geely Starray EM-i | Image: Supplied / Geely To get granular, the term 'Super Hybrid' describes a 'Plug-in Hybrid' or 'PHEV' vehicle, which has a conventional petrol engine and gearbox, but also a large battery (that can be charged like an EV) and an electric motor that powers the wheels. These vehicles can be driven on electric power only for more than 100km in most cases and charged with a cable or the vehicle's engine. Most importantly, they can also be driven without even being plugged in by using the petrol engine as a traditional hybrid would. Geely is the latest Chinese car brand to ditch the EV-only showroom by launching the oddly-named Starray EM-i, which the brand is calling a 'Super Hybrid.' It features a 1.5-litre engine that produces 73kW of power alongside a 160kW electric motor powered by an 18.4kWh battery that can send a combined 193kW of power to the front wheels and drive for up to 80km on EV-only power. It will soon be joined in the market by other 'Super Hybrid' vehicles, including the Omoda 9 SHS (from $61,990 plus on-roads) and existing models in the market like the MG HS Super Hybrid (from $50,990 drive-away), top-selling BYD Sealion 6 (from AUD$42,990 plus on-roads), and the large Chery Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid SUV (from $45,990 drive-away). Geely Starray EM-i | Image: Supplied / Geely If 'Super Hybrid' technology sounds like the best of EVs without the range anxiety, then you'd mostly be right. I've spent time behind the wheel of everything from the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV to a $250,000 Range Rover Sport PHEV and Defender that uses the same basic concept. During my test of these vehicles, I rarely used the petrol engine to drive the vehicle. I charged up the small battery overnight using a powerpoint and drove to work and back without ever using the petrol engine. However, there is one catch, as I experienced in the Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV. If you become too lazy to charge the battery during the ownership period, PHEV or 'Super Hybrid' vehicles are terrible to drive. The added weight (often hundreds of kilograms) and underpowered petrol engine mean they're severely down on power, and without the added oomph of an electric motor driving the wheels, you spend the whole time wishing that you were driving a conventional hybrid. 2026 Toyota RAV4 | Image: Supplied / Toyota Therein lies Toyota's argument. Car buyers are lazy; they won't charge their PHEVs, and the Super Hybrid technology is merely a stepping-stone to a battery EV or a step backwards on the super-efficient hybrid technology that Toyota already offers. At least, it was their argument until they launched their new RAV4 with a PHEV variant. Toyota has sold 24,034 Hybrid RAV4s through June 2025. That figure is down 5.4% on where the top-selling car was this time last year, but it's one to watch as more 'Super Hybrid' models from Chinese brands hit our market in the coming months and Toyota's own plug-in hybrid RAV4 hits the market sometime next year. PHEV sales in Australia are up 10.5% so far this year, but the small number of cars sold through June 2025 (472 sales) does make you wonder just how many people are asking for this technology.

Subaru Australia says customers will decide its powertrains, not government
As manufacturers in Australia prepare to meet the Australian Government's New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES), Subaru says it'll let its customers decide when and how its more efficient vehicles will be introduced. The NVES is designed to incentivise manufacturers to reduce CO2 emissions across their vehicle lineups, and officially commenced on January 1, 2025. Monetary penalties began on July 1, which now means manufacturers will be penalised $100 per g/km of CO2 for every vehicle that exceeds the average carbon emissions target set each year. Speaking at the Australasian launch of the sixth-generation Forester, Subaru Australia general manager Scott Lawrence said the brand had plans in the works. "First and foremost, we support initiatives to reduce CO2, and we support any actions in that space," he told CarExpert. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. ABOVE: Subaru Forester S:HEV "Our response to that is product. Making sure we've got the right product in the market. Forester Strong Hybrid is our first Strong Hybrid in the market, and that'll definitely help." Subaru's new Strong Hybrid (S:HEV) powertrain is a traditional hybrid developed with the support of technology from Toyota. It's intended to be a substantial upgrade over the hybrid available with the previous generation, bringing improved performance and fuel economy. The Japanese brand also has only one electric vehicle (EV) here, the slow-selling Solterra SUV, which was developed in partnership with Toyota and twinned with that brand's bZ4X. While the Forester is expected to sell well given the nameplate's figures in recent years, the Solterra is currently down 56.5 per cent year-to-date with only 121 deliveries in 2025. The remainder of Subaru's lineup is dominated by petrol-only vehicles, ranging from the small and economy-focused Impreza to the sporty turbocharged WRX. This is despite the availability of mild-hybrid e-Boxer versions of the Impreza overseas. ABOVE: Subaru Crosstrek S:HEV The Crosstrek e-Boxer hybrid has also been available in Australia since 2023, which like the outgoing Forester hybrid falls short of rivals from Toyota in terms of fuel economy. However, Subaru does offer a Crosstrek S:HEV in Japan, which features a similar powertrain to the new Forester and could potentially be brought here. Additionally, Subaru recently unveiled the Trailseeker EV in the United States, while the Uncharted EV made its debut last week. These models have not been confirmed for Australia, but like the Solterra, they are twinned with Toyota models – the bZ4X Touring and C-HR+, respectively. "We'll offer Strong Hybrid, and we'll offer EV too. We'll continue to expand that EV range in line with [Subaru Corporation's] ambition to grow them. So, multi-powertrain." ABOVE: Updated Subaru Solterra (left) and Subaru Trailseeker Under the NVES, manufacturers must meet a set average carbon emissions target across their lineup, which decreases annually. The current target is 141g/km for Type 1 vehicles, or passenger cars, which will decrease to 58g/km by 2029. For context on Subaru's situation, a petrol Forester produces 180g/km of CO2, while the Strong Hybrid produces 140g/km. Further, Subaru claims 170g/km for the 2.0-litre Impreza, 168g/km for a non-turbo Outback, and 225g/km for a manual WRX. The emissions for these comparatively popular vehicles will be challenging to offset for Subaru's EVs in Australia, especially given the current low demand for the Solterra and unclear local intentions for the Trailseeker and Uncharted. "I need to reiterate – we will also be reactive to what consumers want. They're the ultimate decider when it comes to powertrain choice and powertrain demand," Mr Lawrence added.
