After nine generations sold at home, Toyota finally built a Camry that Japan itself can't buy — the XV80 is assembled there purely for export.
The 11th-generation Civic is the first since the late-1970s second generation not to offer any two-door body style.
In China, this RAV4 generation doesn't even wear the RAV4 name — GAC Toyota sells it as the Toyota Wildlander instead, with its own front-end styling.
This Prius broke a decades-long streak: after weak sales of the previous generation, Toyota didn’t bother bringing the fifth-gen Prius to Australia at all.
This CR-V generation did the unthinkable: in the first half of 2026 it outsold the Ford F-Series to become the best-selling vehicle in America.
Since 1997 the Corolla has been the best-selling car nameplate in history, overtaking the VW Beetle -- Toyota passed 54 million sold by early 2026.
One of the world's best-selling mid-size sedans skipped a market entirely for this generation: the 11th-gen Accord was never sold in Malaysia, after sales of the previous generation there kept declining.
Nearly 6 in 10 Maverick buyers had never owned a Ford before — the cheap little pickup pulled in a wave of entirely new customers to the brand.
Toyota killed the XtraCab's rear seats after finding half of third-gen Access Cab buyers had already deleted them — and of those who kept the seats, most barely ever used them.
In 2023 the Model Y became the best-selling car on Earth, full stop — the first EV ever to outsell every gas car, including the Toyota Corolla.
This Crosstrek broke a decades-long pattern: for the first time, Subaru builds the 2.5-liter Sport and Limited trims in the US, in Lafayette, Indiana, instead of shipping them all from Japan.
When this generation finally reached Japan in 2026, Toyota broke with decades of tradition and badged it 'Highlander' — not the 'Kluger' name Japan had used since 2000.
AITO engineered the M7's reclining rear seats down to the degree: the 'Zero Gravity Seats' hold a precise 113-degree angle between thighs and torso, said to improve blood circulation.
The AITO M9 didn't just pass crash testing — it posted the highest score C-NCAP had ever recorded for any car.
The launch Abarth 500e was capped at exactly 1,949 cars, the year Carlo Abarth founded his company.
Acura's first hybrid was a flop nobody noticed — the ILX Hybrid sold just 2,660 units in its first 17 months, and Acura quietly killed the hybrid trim after two model years.
To launch the third-gen MDX, Acura didn't just buy ads — it built 8 comedy shorts with Jerry Seinfeld and became exclusive sponsor of his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
The very first second-generation NSX built, VIN #001, was never sold in the usual sense — it was auctioned for $1.2 million, with every dollar going to charity, and NASCAR owner Rick Hendrick drove it off the line.
The 2018 facelift stretched the RLX past 5 metres — the longest sedan Honda or Acura had ever built.
Acura's EV runs on GM's software, not Honda's: the ZDX's Google Built-in system is the first Android Automotive in an Acura, but it's a reskinned GM implementation.
The Hyptec GT wasn't Aion's first swing at a halo car — that was the 1,224-horsepower Hyper SSR. The GT sedan came second, launching in July 2023 to broaden the premium lineup.
The Hyptec HT's rear doors hinge upward like gull wings — a trick normally reserved for exotics, fitted here to a mid-size electric SUV coupe.
The Aion LX's roof carries solar panels — not to charge the battery, but to passively heat or cool the cabin on their own.
The same Aion S was rebadged as both a Toyota (iA5) and a Honda (Everus EA6), two rival dealerships sharing one sedan.
The Aion V Plus's battery pack is rated non-flammable even when a nail is driven through it, and still holds 95% of its capacity after 1,600 charge cycles.
Aion turned the Y into a ride-hailing special, the Pio, with its own fenders and bumper for fleet duty.
Alfa cut up a Maserati MC20 to make this: its monocoque started life under MC20 bodywork before Touring reskinned it.
The Tonale's plug-in hybrid eAWD system marked a first for Alfa Romeo in its entire history — the brand's first-ever plug-in hybrid, good for about 30 miles on electricity alone.
Two photos of the A290_β concept leaked online before Alpine could unveil it in May 2023.
A red steering-wheel button grants ten seconds of extra boost, then locks out for thirty seconds before you can press it again.
The Valhalla began life engineered with Red Bull Racing's F1 team, under the prototype name AM-RB 003.
Valkyrie doors are basically roof hatches, so Aston Martin 3D-scans each owner's body to build them a bespoke seat that actually fits inside the cockpit.
Aston Martin swapped the Valkyrie's gullwing doors for front-hinged butterfly doors to fit the Spider's removable roof.
This A3 was the first production car to launch on Volkswagen Group’s MQB architecture — the modular platform that went on to underpin dozens of VW Group models worldwide.
Audi wouldn't call this A3's plug-in hybrid an "e-tron" -- that name was reserved for full electric Audis, so the PHEV Sportback was badged TFSIe instead.
The B9 is the last car to wear the A4 badge — Audi's new naming scheme folds the A4 and A5 into a single B10 A5 going forward.
The F5-generation RS5's twin-turbo V6 isn't an Audi exclusive — the same 450 PS engine also powers the Porsche Panamera 4S.
The C8 broke new ground for Audi's oldest nameplate: it's the first A6 generation ever assembled and sold in India, arriving there only in 2019.
Audi broke the A7's signature liftback shape for this generation: a three-box sedan version, the A7L, launched in April 2021.
Audi's flagship D5 A8 is already being wound down: Germany stopped taking new orders in February 2026, with no confirmed successor yet on sale.
Audi's first China-built EV didn't lean on Volkswagen Group battery tech at all — the Q2L e-tron's 38 kWh pack comes straight from Chinese battery giant CATL.
The Q4 e-tron brought Audi back to where it began: it’s the first Audi built in Zwickau since before WWII — the very town where Audi and Horch were founded before merging into Auto Union in 1932.
Audi actually planned a hybrid Q5 for launch — then scrapped it because the nickel metal hydride battery pack kept failing crash tests.
Buyers in North America stopped getting a German-built Q5 with this generation — Audi shifted production to a brand-new factory in Puebla, Mexico.
It is the first Audi to reverse the brand's own double-digit numbering system, dropping the number from its badge.
The BBC called this Q7 out by name in 2016 — one of several SUVs on sale that were literally too big for a standard parking space.
Park the Q8 and its OLED taillights are still on duty — they light up on their own if a car behind gets within about 6.6 feet.
This generation barely got started before it was over — Audi announced the Q8 e-tron's production end in October 2024, with the line closing just four months later.
