When Berjaya Auto Alliance Sdn Bhd (BAASB) took over the Peugeot distributorship for Malaysia from Naza back in 2020, it seemingly left Citroen out. For now, the double chevron brand still has no plans of making a return to Malaysia and yet we came across these photos of a barely disguised Citroen C3 from a reader. Taken near Bukit Bintang, the C3 in question has its badges removed or covered up. Citroen has recently announced that it has returned to the Indonesian market so perhaps Malaysian fa

Here’s the spot of the day – an Opel Mokka (the white SUV) and Citroen C4 doing the rounds of testing. Interestingly, neither of these brands have an appointed distributor in Malaysia (Berjaya Auto only provides after sales for Citroen). So what are they doing here? Recall that Opel and Citroen are part of the Stellantis corporation, who recently announced that they have obtained full ownership of the Naza Automotive Manufacturing (NAM) plant in Gurun, Kedah.

Citroen is a brand that Malaysians are unlikely to see a return in the future. The French carmaker’s recent offerings didn’t quite capture the appeal of most Malaysian buyers.

Best of all, both models w

Let me first put up a little disclaimer up front, I have a soft spot for Citroens and am disappointed to see its presence not being continued in Malaysia.

It’s easy to see why the brand couldn’t really make it in Malaysia with its quirky French design being a little too odd for most Malaysians’ tastes. The C3 Aircross for one, looked practical but it also has some

This photo of a mysterious compact SUV testing on our roads came to our attention yesterday, turns out, it’s a Citroen C3 (codenamed CC21). There’s no way to confirm that this is a C3, let alone from Citroen. But based on all the clues, here’s why we’re pretty sure it is the French compact SUV. First off, the trade plate is from Kedah. This eliminates manufacturers with plants in other states like Volkswagen (Pekan) and Honda (Melaka). Another major clue is the fact that the same exact camo and
