When Toyota dropped teasers of the D92A 2023 Toyota Vios a few weeks ago, eagle-eyed readers noticed that the new B-segment sedan shared a number of parts with the Perodua Ativa, hinting the Vios’ link to Daihatsu. While the D92A Vios is developed by Daihatsu, there won’t be a Perodua or Daihatsu version. However, according to OtoDriver, the Yaris, which is a hatchback version of the Vios, will have Perodua / Daihatsu version. Think of this arrangement like the D27A Perodua Alza and the Toyota V

Especially in the higher variants, Perodua's evergreen hatchback offers a lot of car for the money, including ADAS features and the Honda City Hatchback-rivalling mu

The Perodua Myvi is the reigning king of cars in Malaysia but as last month’s sales show, its time at the top isn’t exactly smooth sailing. Nor is the current chip shortage issue but there is another scoop that could see some variants of the Myvi on the chopping block. According to Automachi, Perodua is planning to reduce the number of variants offered for the Myvi to half – from six to three.

A little bit of background, prior to the 2017-2020 revision, the ratings mainly consisted of the adult occupant protection

The Proton Persona might be one of the most exciting-handling cars on a budget. No, I’m serious and this is coming from someone who has very mixed feelings on the Exora. The Persona might be one of those cars that would look great as a sleeper and it even comes with a manual, if you’re the sort who prefers a traditional, engaging drive at the expense of creature comforts.
