Speaker audio kereta perlu dipanas macam ‘panaskan enjin’?

Untuk kebanyakan orang, berada di dalam kereta dapat menenangkan jiwa. Ia diibarat seperti berada di dalam ruang peribadi. Perkara ini lebih melayan perasaan apabila dimainkan dengan musik kegemaran. Setiap daripada kita mempunyai senarai main (playlist) yang melayan dan menghiburkan jiwa kita. Tidak mengira ketika kesesakan lalu lintas atau mengembara secara bersahaja melalui jalan kegemaran, tiada apa yang dapat mengalahkan alunan musik yang mengasyikkan.

Deal Breakers: Nissan Serena, love its practicality, not its infotainment

If you are looking for a people mover, few other MPVs can do a better job than the Nissan Serena. Actually that’s incorrect. There’s no other MPV that can do what the Serena does. What are the alternatives? Seven-seater SUVs? Have you tried climbing into the third row of one of those? Now imagine doing it every day/week. The Toyota Innova (from RM 115,280) also suffers from the problem too. The Kia Carnival (RM 179,888) is very spacious but the 11-seater is a bit of an overkill. It’s also wider

Review: The Nissan Serena will not inspire you, but few other MPVs can do a better job

Unpopular opinion: Seven-seater SUVs are a really bad choice when it comes to moving seven adults. Have you tried climbing into an SUV's third row seats? In a Nissan Serena, you literally step in and out of the car like it's a room. The Nissan Serena you see here is fitted with the optional J Impul styling package, which bumps up the price to RM 149,888. Otherwise, prices are: Highway Star: RM 132,888 Premium Highway Star (Single tone black): RM 142,888 Premium Highway Star (Two-tone colour): RM

Why your next car should come with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay

I remember the first time I tried Android Auto – it was back in 2016 with the debut of the all-new tenth-generation Honda Civic. I plugged my phone via USB into the Civic, went through a few confirmation screens on my phone and started Android Auto itself. Android Auto, as how Google envisioned it, is their answer to bridging smartphones and in-car infotainment, allowing drivers to enjoy a tailored Google experience while driving. In case you’re wondering, Android Auto is strictly limited to And

New Proton Iriz - Is It Finally A Better Car Than The Perodua Myvi?

The Proton Iriz was conceived back in 2014 as Proton’s effort to counter the ever-popular Perodua Myvi. Back then, the Iriz offered considerably more safety equipment than the Perodua Myvi, but response from the market remained lukewarm at best. Proton updated the Iriz a couple of times, with the latest update being introduced earlier this year. Five variants are available in total, up from the four variants from the 2017 update.

Sony is not going to build cars which is why it built the Sony Vision S concept car

If you grew up in the 1990’s Sony wasn’t just “that company that makes PlayStations”. Sony was that rich kid who brought every imaginable gadget to school. They built radios, televisions, cameras, computers, phones, its own compact disc format, and even owned Michael Jackson. If that wasn’t enough, the Japanese giant revealed its first car earlier this year, the Sony Vision S. Billed as a concept, the Vision S looked like a Tesla, is said to be able to accelerate like one, and drive itself too.
