It's an open secret that the team at WapCar.my is quite fond of the XU80 Toyota Harrier. It is a brilliant ambassador to how Toyota does luxury (yes, they CAN do luxury). The Harrier is refined, great to drive, and comfortable all at once. The perfect real-world luxury SUV, if you ask us. In fact, we were actually rather reluctant when time came to hand back the keys to UMW Toyota (UMWT). It's not all a bed of roses though. Much as we adore the XU80 Harrier, there are some design decisions about

The locally-assembled (CKD) Toyota Camry Hybrid was first launched in Malaysia in 2015, priced at RM 174,900. It was a bit of a one hit wonder as there was no follow-up to the model. The subsequent generation Camry was imported from Thailand and local taxes made it prohibitively expensive. Consequently, the hybrid variant was dropped. The good news is that unlike the Prius (which was also not followed up after just one generation), the Camry Hybrid is newer and thus is still covered by UMW Toyot

A couple of weeks back, we broke the news that the facelifted 2020 Toyota Vios is coming in December and with it, a go-faster Gazoo Racing (GR) variant. Now, Toyota has set off another ticking timebomb by teasing the facelifted 2021 Toyota Yaris. It's still a small teaser, with only an image of the upcoming Yaris' LED headlight plastered on Toyota Malaysia's website and social media. The design is very similar to the Thailand-spec Yaris, but expect some design tweaks around the car to suit our m

The production of Volkswagen Tiguan just broke six million mark globally, making it as the best-selling Volkswagen model in the world over the Golf. Over two generations have been produced, with the outgoing, second-generation model grabbing the most amount of sales since it was introduced in 2016. According to Volkswagen, a brand new Tiguan rolls of the production line every 35 seconds on average out of its four plants across four different time zones. A total of 910,926 units of current-genera

The Toyota Corolla nameplate is one of the most famous, longest-running, and best-selling nameplate in Toyota’s history, spanning a history of over 50 years. Currently on the 12th generation model, the Corolla name has its humble beginning in 1966 as a small, low-cost, and reliable family sedan, bearing the chassis code KE10. Two years later, the KE10 Toyota Corolla made its way to Malaysia, where it was assembled by Champion Motor Berhad located in Shah Alam, which subsequently renamed as Assem

If the C-segment class of compact cars is indeed shrinking, Honda doesn’t seem to be aware of it. Sales of the Civic in USA – still Honda Motor’s biggest car market – continue to grow strongly even as archrival Toyota has just released an all-new Toyota Corolla. Despite being an aging model, the Honda Civic appears to be unaffected by the new generation Corolla, with sales growing by 26 percent month-on-month in August, totaling 34,808 units. According to a report by USA’s Automotive News, the H
