The 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross has finally undergone a facelift in Japan, and while the visuals haven't changed all that much, it's the insides that's received a bunch of fixes...and more power. New and improved powertrains Headlining all changes is the new engine sitting in the bay: normal, pure-petrol variants gain a new 2.0-litre Dynamic Force engine (M20A-FKS), while the hybrid variants continue with the 1.8-litre 2ZR-FXE mill, albeit with some improvements. The new engine – in Malaysia, it p

On first impression, the all-new RV generation 2022 Honda HR-V grabs your attention with its snazzy looks and youthful appeal. The e:HEV RS hybrid variant also boasts of higher performance than archrival Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid. The Toyota, being a Toyota, is the anti-thesis of the Honda. Where the Honda appeals to your heart, the Toyota is designed to appeal to the sensible accountant in you.

The 9th-gen Honda Civic FB is somewhat the less loved middle-child between the vastly more popular Civic FD and Civic FC generations. The FD and FC of course, have a much larger following given the two introduced more substantial improvements in terms of design, equipment and powertrain technology. Honda CIVIC However, whilst improvements were not headline-grabbing – and its design made more elegant instead of sporty – it is often overlooked that the Civic FB is one of the most well-designed, re

A mysterious Honda sedan has recently been spotted, though we’re not too certain what we’re looking at here. Depending on who you ask, the new model seen here could be an all-new Honda Civic or an updated Honda Accord. The biggest clue that this could be the next-generation Honda Civic is the headlights – they look similar to the ones found on the 2022 Civic Type R (look it up). Even the side profile looks similar to the camouflaged Type R, lending credence that it could be Honda’s next-generati

Sad news for potentials sedan buyers in Japan, as Honda will be discontinuing the Civic Sedan and City (sold in Japan as the Grace) in Japan by August. In fact, Honda will also trim its Japanese line-up by axing the Jade – a station wagon based on the ninth-generation Honda Civic. The report from Creative Trend mentioned that sales and production of all three models will cease in August.
