As Malaysia’s No.1 selling car brand, it is easy to assume that Perodua is all about numbers, Ringgits and sense. While that is still true to a certain extent - because Perodua certainly didn’t become No.1 by pandering to frivolous demands - this one-dimensional view of Perodua as a giant monolith of an organization that only cares about achieving the highest sales numbers is wrong. For outsiders, it is easier to understand Perodua as a rationale, logic-driven organization that marches its staff

The first-generation Proton Saga is a car that paved the way for Malaysia’s automotive industry but its arrival came at the expense of Mitsubishi Motors leaving the market in the 1980s as part of a deal. The Saga shared the same mechanicals and an almost similar design as the Lancer Fiore which was briefly sold here as the Lancer F. As cool as the conversions are, nothing can beat the real deal and this particular example of the Mitsubishi Lancer Champ that is found for sale in Thailand is one o

Mercedes-Benz Group (formerly known as Daimer) has confirmed that the next generation 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC (X254) will make its world debut in June. The company also said that the outgoing X253 generation Mercedes-Benz GLC is still selling well and is now the company’s most important volume seller, contributing 20 percent of Mercedes-Benz’s global sales (as of Q1 2022).

This is hot – Malaysia’s best-selling B-segment hatchback, the Perodua Myvi, is slated to undergo a facelift later this year. According to our friends over at Funtasticko, the new Perodua Myvi facelift is codenamed D51A and it will be a rather massive facelift for the darling hatchback of Malaysia. First up is the new transmission – the facelifted D51A Myvi is touted to drop its tried-and-tested four-speed automatic transmission in favour of the Dual-mode CVT (D-CVT) from the Perodua Ativa. But

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has launched the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 4Matic Coupe, priced at RM 661,009 (OTR without insurance, with SST incentive). Let’s start with performance; the GLE 450 is powered by a 3.0-litre in-line 6 turbo that makes 367 PS/500 Nm, paired to a 9-speed automatic transmission (9G-Tronic) that spins all four wheels through the 4Matic system. 0-100 km/h is dealt with in 5.7 seconds, top speed is capped at 250 km/h. From the front, there’s the diamond radiator grille with the sing

Recently, our colleague Zamil had the opportunity to spend some time in the new Toyota RAV4. Toyota’s new kid on the block is here to challenge the Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5’s status quo. Powered by Toyota’s new 2.0 and 2.5-litre Dynamic Force engines, and utilising the new TNGA-K platform that also underpins the Corolla Altis and Camry, the RAV4’s recipe is a compelling one. All that being said, it really is a big ask for Toyota to demand RM 215,700 (after SST reductions) for the 2.5 variant. T
