The 2024 Kia Carnival makes a very compelling MPV and there are 3 seating configurations to choose from across 4 variants. With the recent launch of the locally assembled (CKD) 11-seater last month, all variants of the Malaysian-spec Kia Carnival are now CKD in Kulim, Kedah. The Carnival looks as grand as the default luxury MPV duo of important folks, the Toyota Vellfire and Toyota Alphard. Yet, at around the same price as a recond unit of the two luxury breadboxes on wheels, the Korean MPV migh

Despite being 22 percent more expensive than the previous generation, it seems the all-new 2023 Geely Boyue L is still very popular amongst car buyers. Geely recently rolled out the 10,000th unit from the factory just 43 days after production started. Like its predecessor, the Boyue L is also assembled at Geely’s high-tech facility in Ningbo, Zhejiang. Production officially started on 20-September-2022 and the 10,000th unit was rolled out on 2-November-2022. Officially launched on 26-October, th

The much vaunted 2022 Perodua Myvi has hit the ground running with a host of new ADAS features, styling updates, and crucially, a more advanced D-CVT transmission that replaces the longstanding 4-speed automatic. In addition to better fuel economy, and improved drivability – the D-CVT transmission is also claimed to improve acceleration. The D-CVT (short for Dual-mode CVT) features a combination of steel chain and planetary gear set, the latter is used to complement the steel belt to reduce a ty

Even as they’ve ditched the catchy “Zoom Zoom” tagline, the ethos is still clearly beating strong in the cars they produce. In an effort to realise carbon neutrality, Mazda Motor Corporation aims to popularise the use of next-generation biodiesel fuels and has gone racing in the Super Taikyu Race at the Okayama International Circuit over the 13-14 November weekend fueled by biodiesel. The machine of choice isn’t one with some spinning triangles within but instead a more conventional Mazda Demio

With the recent announcement that Perodua will be rationing production of the Perodua Myvi due to the ongoing semiconductor shortage, it begs the question, how many features of the Myvi actually rely on these microchips? In short, a lot. A modern-day car like the Perodua Myvi, despite its humble position as an affordable B-segment hatchback, actually has a number of electronic circuitries going on inside.

To be clear, the Mazda CX-30 is not a rival to the BMW X1. As you know, the imported-from-Japan CX-30 is not cheap, no thanks to additional import/excise taxes. For about the same RM 176,059 (with SST) asking price of this top specs all-wheel-drive (AWD) Mazda CX-30 variant, you can buy a lightly used, barely a year old certified pre-owned (CPO) but lower specs front-wheel drive BMW X1 sDrive20i from BMW Premium Selection. So you still want the Mazda? Brand snobs need not think further, but if y
