Just before the launch of the all-new 2023 Toyota Vios, UMW Toyota Motor had arranged a media test drive in Langkawi and joining the event was the development team behind the 2023 Toyota Vios, including Executive Chief Engineer, Hideyuki Kamino. Like most of our readers, we were equally curious as to why some items are omitted, like the folding rear seats and spare tyre. Talking to the team as well as the chief engineer, we learnt the reasoning behind these decisions. Also read: Priced from RM 8

Data from a number of leading surveys have continuously made clear that the fairer sex forms the majority of car buyers, both internationally and locally, with that percentage climbing higher in regard to the overall decision-making in the purchase of a car. Seeing that women quite literally hold the… key fob firmly in their grasp, it begs the question of why the car purchasing process is still fundamentally not female-friendly. By delving deeper and understanding the obstacles in the current pu

The latest FE generation Honda Civic is an easy car to love. It looks good, drives well, spacious, supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, is packed with all the safety features you want, and more importantly – wears the Honda badge with pride. Previously only available with a 1.5-litre VTEC Turbo 4-cylinder engine (182 PS / 240 Nm), the Civic has since added a second powertrain. After skipping one generation, petrol-electric hybrid power makes a return to the FE generation Honda Civic, and it’

As we take the time to commemorate and honour women’s accomplishments, raise awareness about gender disparities and discrimination, as well as promote global support for women in conjunction with International Women’s Day, it’s equally paramount that the annual theme is expounded upon and acknowledged. For 2023, it takes a step into the digital age under the theme, “DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality.” The aim is to highlight the role of innovative technology in promoting ge

Perodua launched the D74A 2023 Perodua Axia last month, with prices ranging between RM 38,600 to RM 49,500. Not only has prices gone up, but its dimensions have also increased by a fair bit. With its increase in size that now inches closer to the Perodua Myvi, can the D74A Perodua Axia be considered an A-segment model? Let’s take a closer look. When the first-generation Perodua Axia was launched back in 2014, it was clear that the Axia was positioned as Perodua’s entry-level model, down to its d

The all-new 2023 Perodua Axia might be the most important new car to be launched in Malaysia. It is the spiritual successor to the original Malaysian people’s car, the Perodua Kancil so without further ado, we’re here to answer some questions on the all-new Axia. What are the variants offered for the all-new Perodua Axia? There are 4 variants for the all-new Perodua Axia with prices that range from RM 38,600 for the entry-level 1.0 G all the way to RM 49,500 for the top-of-the-range 1.0 AV. Pric

Mazda’s SUV range has gotten slightly more crowded since the introduction of the Mazda CX-30 with the numbers accompanying the letters now in multiples of ten, while the single-digit models are sold side-by-side. Now, there’s also the Mazda CX-60 and though Bermaz has yet to confirm its arrival in Malaysia, it’s more likely than not we’ll see its introduction here. So, what’s the Mazda CX-60 all about and where does it sit in Mazda’s CX range? Well, here’s what we know about it so far. The Mazda

Though the compact SUV market in Indonesia is fairly new, it has been dominated mostly by the Toyota Raize and Daihatsu Rocky. The twins to the Perodua Ativa seemed unbeatable but that all changed once the Honda WR-V entered the fray. In its first month of sales, the WR-V has overtaken the Raize as Indonesia’s best-selling compact SUV and that momentum seems to continue according to the latest sales data. While both SUVs are priced close to one another in Indonesia, the WR-V won’t be looking at

It’s official. The all-new D74A 2023 Perodua Axia’s is finally launched and with the top-of-the-line AV variant starting from RM 49,500, some of you might be shocked at that price. After all, you can get a base Perodua Myvi for less but is it better? The base 1.3-litre Myvi is offered in two variants but for this comparison, we will look at the one that comes with PSDA, Perodua’s safety assist pack which starts from RM 48,500. If you’re considering between the two variants since they are so clos

In this upwardly mobile society, having a means of transportation is a necessity and in places where public transport is either absent or inefficient, having your own car is a must. While some might see them as a luxury, there are those who needed them to supplement their income or to commute. That said, for many who are budget-conscious, the threshold of owning a brand-new car shouldn’t breach the six-figure mark. While there are plenty of cars likely to be launched here in Malaysia in 2023, we
