Touch ‘n Go has introduced the PayDirect feature for car parks at various locations across the country. The PayDirect Parking feature will work similarly to the PayDirect for toll payments by deducting money straight from your TNG eWallet instead of your card. Users who have enabled PayDirect in their TNG eWallet app will be able to pay their parking fees with the credit in their eWallet. This will save them from needing to reload their TNG cards as the existing card balance will not be affected
A couple of weeks back, we saw leaked photos of the next-generation, all-new 2022 Lexus NX. Now, it seems that its launch date has also been leaked. The leaked card is rather cryptic - it doesn't share much beyond the dates 26- and 27-March 2021, 8 pm. So far, no other models from Lexus have been leaked, further lending credence that it may very well be the NX300's unveiling. And for you curious cats out there, yes, the link in the picture works. It brings you to their YouTube page called 'Onlin
We heard through the grapevine that Lexus has registered the name RZ450e in the USA, Europe, and Australia. This suggested that Lexus has both a new model coming soon and a possible new powertrain. Now that we have a name, we can start speculating on what it can tell us. The Z is a hint that this will be a whole new model of its own. We glanced through Lexus’ history book and noted that the brand has never used the letter Z on any models that have come before. We can’t help but wonder if this co
As more Malaysians turn to the e-hailing industry as a source of supplementary income, the need for efficient, comfortable and reliable cars to perform such duties has increased. In a move to promote the use of their vehicles within the industry, Proton has unveiled an offer to incentivise car buyers. Buyers who purchase a new Proton Persona, Iriz, Exora, Saga or Proton X70 from authorized Proton sales outlets, will now be rewarded with a Petronas fuel gift card worth RM500 or, if they prefer, a
It has been 15 years since Toyota stopped production of the last-gen Toyota Celica. Since then, Toyota has been launching some sports cars in their line-up including the 86, GR Supra, and GR Yaris. So, with Toyota re-filing the trademark for the Celica name, are we seeing a potential fourth sports car in the line-up? According to some info gathered by various media, Toyota filed an application to patent the Celica name in the US. The application was filed on 15-January 2021 but what could this r
Both the Proton X70 and Proton X50 have steered the domestic car maker to a fresh and new direction. Proton has actually registered a few interesting model names back in 2018, and one of them is the Proton V70 name. If the “X” letter has been used to name crossover models, the “V” letter might just be used to name MPV or van-like models. Proton has told its investment partners that a new Geely-based model is due for 2021. The model of the car is yet to be confirmed. However, if we look at Geely’
This tiny Perodua Axia size/ Proton Iriz lookalike car is an electric vehicle (EV) made by a company from China named Bodo. It has a top speed of 69 km/h and it is trying to establish itself in Europe. Jokes aside, Bodo is read in Chinese as “bao dao” that directly translates into “precious island”. The full name of the company is Wuxi Bodo Electric Vehicle Inc. So, no, the company is not trying to name themselves “bodoh” in an effort to humour us. Like the previously viral Mini lookalike, Mine
Toyota has been quite busy these few months coming off the launch of the Corolla Cross, the refreshed Hilux, and the Yaris Cross. There seems to be nothing stopping the Japanese giant and the world’s largest automotive company. According to Indonesia’s Autonetmagz, Toyota has filed a trademark for a brand-new model name called the BZ. The trademark has been filed through the US Patent Office on 22 May 2020. What does this mean? The BZ name isn’t new to Toyota though. It was used in a few variant
You’re probably familiar with the name John Cooper thanks to the aggressive MINIs that has rolled off the line and onto our roads. But do you know who John Cooper really is and why his name is synonymous with MINI’s fastest and most aggressive cars? John Newton Cooper was born in 1923 in Kingston, Surrey. He and his father Charles Cooper founded the Cooper Car Company to fuel John Cooper’s and his childhood friend, Eric Brandon’s racing dream. He is well known for being the founder (Audi would b
Last month, Geely revealed official photos of the upcoming Geely KX11 SUV. Now more photos, including the interior, have been released and the car finally has a name! The Geely KX11 will go on sale in China in a few months time as the Geely Xingyue L. The Geely Xingyue L will be the third CMA platform-based Geely model to use the "Xing" name prefix. If you look at Geely’s “Xing” family (directly translates as Star), it is currently made up of the Geely Xingyue (known as the Tugella international
The Toyota GR Supra is now here, priced from RM 568,000. Any discussion about the Toyota GR Supra will inevitably be overshadowed by debates about whether this BMW-Toyota jointly developed model can be a true successor to carry the legendary Supra nameplate, which is a shame because it takes the attention away from something that’s very important to anyone who cares about the brand that makes the Toyota GR Supra. The latest A90 generation Supra isn’t called the Toyota Supra but Toyota GR Supra.
You’ve heard it time and again at every “balik kampung” festive season. Remember to check your car engine components’ condition, change your engine oil, make sure your tyres are in tip top condition before you start your journey… No doubt, these steps are important to follow, not only are you travelling further than your daily route causing more stress to the engine, there is also a possibility that you will get trapped in a 9-hour long traffic jam on the North-South Highway (true story this).

Shortly after bookings were opened for the 2021 Perodua D55L, we now have confirmation that the model’s official name is Perodua Ativa. The name was confirmed via a copy of the leaflet. In addition to confirming the name, the leaflet also reveals some juicier info. Let’s dive in. Also Read: 2021 Perodua D55L: Bookings opened, from RM 63k to 73k, ACC, 1.0L Turbo + CVT Starting with the exterior bits, it appears that the Perodua Ativa will feature the same headlights that are found on the Japanese
Great Wall’s electric vehicle (EV) brand, Ora, stirred the crowd up with a teaser of a new EV that largely resembles the classic Volkswagen Beetle. Along with the teaser they also invited the public to join a voting campaign to decide the name of the car. Now the name has been unveiled to be the Ora Punk Cat. Also read: This is Ora’s latest EV. No, it's not a VW Beetle In case you missed it, the Punk Cat is targeted at women and Ora is marketing it as a ‘time machine’ back to the retro era. Now
Toyota’s pickup truck, Hilux, is well known for its famed reliability, ease of ownership amongst other not so positive reviews of the pickup. But the truck’s name itself is also well-known as it has inspired many funny memes on the internet. Most of the time the name has been translated into double meanings as well. Before you go and search up more funny memes of the Hilux, here’s a short story of how Toyota came up with the Hilux’s name and the reason might shock you. In the height of the pick-
As you know, PSA and Fiat Chrysler have entered a 50:50 merger deal to form the world’s fourth-largest automaker back in December 2019. The merged unit has finally announced a name for their new company called Stellantis. The companies said that the name will be exclusively used at the group level as a corporate brand. The names and logos of the group’s constituent brands (Peugeot, Citroen, Fiat, Opel, etc) will remain unchanged. “Stellantis” came from the Latin verb “Stello” which translates “t
The Toyota Avanza is a very well-known nameplate having been Indonesia’s best-selling vehicle for quite some time. However, with the next-generation due to be launched in 2022, not only will the next-gen Avanza be getting a front-wheel drive layout and possibly hybrid tech, but it might not even be called an Avanza either. In a shocking scoop covered by Otodriver, the Avanza name might not be carried over into the next generation along with the rear-wheel drive layout. At least for Toyota. The u

Touch ‘n Go has reiterated yet again that it will soon remove all parking surcharges. This time, the company says the removal will be completed within this quarter, reports The Star. Commitments to remove parking surcharges, which has been common complain among users, is not new, as Touch ‘n Go have been talking about it since 2019. Speaking to the English daily, group CEO Effendy Shahul Hamid said: “I’m very happy to say that by the end of the first quarter, we’ll take away all parking surcharg
First introduced in 1989 with the first generation Lexus LS 400, this year marks the 30th anniversary of the luxury car brand that set new standards for quality and customer service. Lexus’ story began in August 1983 at Toyota’s headquarters in Aichi, when the then Chairman of Toyota Motor Eiji Toyoda convened for top-secret meeting and posted the question, “Can we create a luxury car to challenge the very best?” The abbreviated version of Lexus’ history often credits Eiji, who is the granduncle
Tonight at 8.30 pm, UMW Toyota Motor will be live streaming (in 8D audio, a first for a local car launch) the launch of its Toyota Corolla Cross, the company’s most important new model for 2021. To be priced not too far away from a Corolla Altis, the Corolla Cross will fill the void left behind by the now-discontinued (in Malaysia) Toyota C-HR. UPDATE: Toyota Corolla Cross has been launched, priced from RM 124k, details here. Curiously, the Corolla Cross’s mechanicals are almost identical to the
Hyundai has quite an ambitious plan to recapture the ASEAN market. It is currently in the midst of building its Indonesian plant which will be the ASEAN hub and has a few models lined up, including some that will arrive in Malaysia. One of those models is an MPV that will be facing off against the next-gen (front-wheel drive) Toyota Avanza/Perodua Alza. However, while Hyundai hasn’t announced its name officially, we found a few clues at the Malaysian trademark office (MyIPO). The Staria trademar
It’s time to sell your car. You’ve already figured out how to get the highest price and how to clean the interior, but how do you sell your car without going through a used car dealer? Assuming that you’ve somehow managed to find for a buyer that’s willing to buy your old car, there are some steps to follow before you can sell off your old car. Also Read: Selling your car soon? Here's how to ensure you get the highest price If it’s a cash sale and there’s no outstanding loan, it’s pretty straigh
Bank Negara Malaysia have announced a 6-month moratorium for all bank loans except credit card balances, starting 1 April 2020. The moratorium is basically a temporary freeze on loan repayments. However, do remember that the moratorium applies only to loan repayments. Interests will continue to accrue every month as usual. Also, the moratorium applies only to loans that have not been in arrears (all previous payments owed paid in full) for more than 90 days as of 1 April 2020. How does the 6-mon
With news that JPJ has decided to close all offices due to the gathering of large crowds, the government is now encouraging the use of MyEG to renew their respective insurance and road taxes. If you're uncertain how the online portal works, here are a few step by step pointers. The documents that you need are: JPJ vehicle registration card Previous insurance cover note When renewing your car insurance, you will have to refer to your registration card when filling out the details. For example, wh
As cars get more and more feature packed, another equipment that has found into several new models is a digital video recorder (DVR), also known as a dashcam. Having video evidence from a dashcam will save from unnecessary “he said, she said” disputes arising from an accident. Many cars these days offer a built-in front-facing dashcam while some manufacturers like Toyota will even offer a rear-facing camera for an additional RM 350, which is a small price to pay for better peace-of-mind.

For a select few who dare to be different, the Honda Odyssey is what pops in their mind if someone says '7-seater Japanese MPV'. As we start the new year and look towards welcoming the Odyssey here in Malaysia sometime in 2021, let's take a look at the differences between the Japan- and American-spec Odyssey. Same name, different cars Yes they share the same name, but both cars are actually rather different. You have customer choices to thank for that. The first-generation Odyssey was launched i
Production of the Perodua D55L – Perodua’s yet to be named compact SUV – will begin at Perodua’s plant in Rawang on February 2021, according to information gathered by our friends at Funtasticko.net. They also added that there will be variants on offer – entry G, mid-range X, and the range topping AV variant. The usual range of Gear Up accessories package will also be available. Funtasticko’s information corroborates with our earlier post stating that the Perodua D55L’s launch has been postponed
The following is still a developing news, we will update it when clearer official announcements are made. We were tipped off by our friends at Careta.my that banks might begin imposing interest charges on delayed/outstanding car loan repayments of borrowers who took up the 6-month moratorium. A statement released by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) earlier today said “…banking institutions are in the process of formalising agreements which reflect the revised payment terms with borrowers/customers wit
