An SUV wearing Lotus badges might be a fever dream for most (if not all) enthusiasts, but it's happening, and it's coming in 2022.

With the Geely Holding Group owning a 51% controlling stake, and Syed Mokhtar’s Etika Automotive owning 49%, Lotus now has

When Lotus—who makes one of the most focused driver’s cars—says that they will be moving on from internal combustion engine, it’s clear where the automotive industry is headed.

The Kia Optima has been a long-standing alternative to established Japanese D-Segment sedans such as the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. The third-generation Kia Optima (TF) - the first to take on the K5 nameplate - marked a significant leap forward in design, build quality as well as premium features for its time. Today, with prices starting at just RM 30k as advertised on the WapCar’s Cars for Sale page – the Optima K5 remains a great value bargain that has aged gracefully and also has a good t

While other car makers are concerned about slowing sales amidst geopolitical tensions and rising inflation, Toyota is actively working towards selling fewer cars this year and next. The reason? Its record-breaking pace is taking a toll on Toyota employees and suppliers, and the company now wants to slow down, take a zen moment to observe its surroundings, before thinking about its next steps.

Imagine a convoy of media folks, a fleet of Proton X90s, and a road trip for a durian feast. That’s how Proton rolled out the red carpet. The day was kicked off early with a breakfast. After fuelling up, we gathered for a briefing on the Proton X90 and the day’s driving plan. Each car was loaded with four media reps, ensuring everyone had ample time behind the wheel.
