The 2024 Toyota Corolla is a well-known and dependable little automobile. It comes in three trim levels (LE, SE, and XSE) and two body styles (hatchback and sedan). The four-cylinder, 169-horsepower engine, front-wheel drive, and continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) are features shared by all versions.

The 2024 Corolla’s 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine produces 169 horsepower, and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) transfers that power to the front wheels. Although the sedan has a hybrid powertrain as well, all hatchbacks use the same drivetrain. The 2024 Corolla features smooth touch materials, alloy wheels with an 18-inch bronze finish, and a straightforward dashboard.

What’s New for 2024?
Although there are no major modifications for the Civic going into 2024, our initial predictions included the addition of a hybrid powertrain to the lineup. According to Honda, the Civic hybrid will now make its debut as a 2025 model. It will be available as a hatchback and sedan, and it will be powered by an Accord hybrid’s hybrid drivetrain. That translates to 180–200 horsepower from a four-cylinder engine combined with two electric motors.

There are two body styles for the 2024 Honda Civic: sedan and hatchback. The 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine of the 2024 Civic is available in versions with a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that produces 180 horsepower. With 315 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, the Civic Type R variant can accelerate to up to 170 miles per hour.

This year, Army Green, a paint shade that is already available on several of Toyota’s larger trucks and SUVs, will be available for the RAV4. The colour will be available with the tough-appearing TRD Off-Road, Adventure, and Woodland Edition hybrid trim levels. On the Adventure and TRD Off-Road variants, the colour is free to choose; however, Army Green on the Woodland Edition will cost an extra $500 when paired with a Midnight Metallic Black roof. Now, you can match that black roof with the Ice Cap exterior colour of the Woodland. Along with a standard 1.25-inch activity mount that can hold a baggage carrier or bike rack, the Woodland Edition also comes with a new optional Weather package that includes heated front seats, a steering wheel covered in leather, and rain-sensing wipers with a de-icer feature. You may select between a black or white roof on the Adventure and TRD Off-Road versions, which both have the two-tone option available.

2024 Rav4 has a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine coupled to a continuously variable gearbox to power the RAV4 Hybrid. With a combined output of 219 horsepower, all-wheel drive is standard on all RAV4 Hybrid levels since one of the electric motors drives the rear axle. The 2024 RAV4 Hybrid is faster and more efficient than the conventional, non-electrified model thanks to its extra output and e-motors. In the Woodland Edition trim we tested, we recorded a 60 mph time of 7.3 seconds; the gas-only vehicle required 8.0 seconds to complete the same feat.

There are a few minor, yet significant, upgrades for the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 in 2024. Lakeshore Blue and Slate Gray are the two new metallic colour options that Chevy has added. When in performance mode, Silverados with the 420 horsepower 6.2-liter V-8 engine now has an active exhaust system, which makes the truck sound meaner. The High Country trim level of the Midnight Edition is now accessible. Now available on Custom, Custom Trail Boss, RST, and LT Trail Boss models is the Blackout look option. Standard features on all Silverados, including the base Work Truck, include OnStar, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Chevy finally renames its 2.7-litre, four-cylinder, 310-hp engine as “TurboMax.”

The 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 pickup’s work ethic is ingrained in its family’s DNA and is inherited. Chevy’s full-size pickup truck has been lugging boats to lake cottages, working on farms, and getting dirty at construction sites for centuries, and that tradition hasn’t altered. The current generation Silverado 1500 has a broad selection of powertrain options to handle both work and play, including a Duramax diesel, two V-8s, and a turbo four-cylinder.

The 2024 Toyota Tacoma is competitive enough to take on updated mid-size rivals like the Ford Ranger and Chevy Colorado.

Every Tacoma is powered by a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine.

What’s New for 2024?
Ram doesn’t significantly alter the Ram for 2024, but that’s probably because the 2025 model gets a lot of upgrades. In case you missed it, Ram discontinued the 1500’s diesel powerplant option last year. It had been available on early 2023 vehicles.

The 2024 Ram 1500 is a precursor for the La-Z-Boy at home because of how luxuriously comfortable it is. No other full-size truck can match its superb ride and handling, and the Ram 1500 TRX, with its 702 horsepower, is a unique vehicle that is examined individually.  Yet in terms of performance, the more refined Ram 1500 is no weekend warrior. A smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission is mated to gasoline powerplants that provide 305 horsepower from a 3.6-liter V-6 and 395 horsepower from a 5.7-liter V-8 in the 2024 Ram 1500. A 48-volt hybrid system supports both engines, while the 5.7-litre Hemi V-8 is also offered without electric assistance. The tough Rebel variant offers genuine off-road performance and a beefier appearance for those with an adventurous spirit.
