Looking at the Ora Good Cat for the first time, I wondered if this Chinese-built (CBU) electric car is a fashion statement hopping on the whole EV wave that’s spreading all over the world or is it one that you can live with even after all that hype? There’s no denying that EVs are becoming so important in the automotive industry that policymakers are siding with the assumingly “cleaner and greener” way of motoring. Many carmakers have pledged to shift their focus to EVs by the end of the decade

When it comes to Perodua’s entry-level cars, it’s a given that these little tikes offer great fuel economy and in the case of the all-new 2023 Perodua Axia, that remains pretty much true or is it? The all-new Axia is the most advanced it has ever been for Perodua’s long line of entry-level cars which goes back to the Perodua Kancil with a modern D-CVT automatic offered across the range and the top-of-the-line 1.0 AV available with the Perodua Smart Drive Assist (PSDA) ADAS suite. While the Axia

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

No such thing as a cheap EV? Well, Malaysian start-up EV Innovations might beg to differ with their Perodua Axia Electric concept, now on display at the ongoing EVM Asia 2022 expo. Though based on an Axia, the concept has no official relation to Perodua. The Axia Electric is the latest version (3.0) of the company’s retrofit packages which started with MyKar 1.0 back in 2020, which you might remember was a peculiar composite-bodied prototype with a janky interior, based on a second-generation (G

Thailand buyers seem to be very accepting of the 2022 Ora Good Cat with it netting over 10,000 bookings in just a week. The cool electric cat car is poised to snatch the best-selling EV title in the Kingdom in 2022 from the MG ZS EV but it seems to hit a snag thanks to a selfish war happening thousands of kilometres away. Ora’s parent company, Great Wall Motors (GWM) Thailand has announced on its website that it will be pausing further reservations for the Good Cat indefinitely starting today (2

It may slightly resemble one, but don’t mistake it for an Alphard - this is the 2021 Lexus LM 350 that’s just been launched in Malaysia. Coming in sole 4-seater guise and imported (CBU) from Japan, prices for this house-on-wheels starts from RM 1.11 million. At RM 1,106,513, it's circa RM 135k dearer than the Lexus LS 500 Luxury (RM 1.02 mil) and 2.5x more than the Alphard (official UMWT unit, with the 3.5-litre V6) it's based on, which starts from RM 446k. Exterior - More opulent than Alphard W
