Today, Toyota announces the refreshed 2017 Highlander Hybrid and a new Prius hybrid variant for the 2016 New York Auto Show, and we look at when electric-car tax credits expire. All this and more on Green Car Reports.

The Nissan Leaf is withdrawn from New Zealand, and electric-car sales there plummet as a result.

The refreshed 2017 Toyota Highlander Hybrid will debut next week at the 2016 New York Auto Show. Updates include a new V-6 engine and two added trim levels.

Toyota also says it will unveil the "next mechanical marvel in the Prius lineup" in New York. Could it be a new plug-in hybrid model?

Tax credits for electric cars have set expiration points, but consumers should still be able to take advantage of them if they buy within the next year or two.

Media preview days for the 2016 New York Auto Show begin one week from tomorrow. Here are some of the notable green cars we expect to see in the Big Apple.

Shopping for a compact car? We compare the Hyundai Elantra and Honda Civic.

Finally, the Mazda CX-4 crossover is teased ahead of its debut at the 2016 Beijing Auto Show.
