However, if you’re interested to get one brand-new, tough luck as it appears the model has been dropped from the Malaysian market. A quick check on the Hyundai website confirms this notion. An unnamed source further confirmed our suspicion. Could this mean that the all-new seventh-generation Elantra is coming into Malaysia very soon? The outgoing sixth-generation Elantra was launched in Korea in 2015 befor

Early this month, Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) teased the 2020 Mitsubishi Xpander at Mid Valley Megamall to garner interests and bookings. While the model is set to make its Malaysian debut sometime soon, the Xpander had been launched in other markets around South East Asia since 2017. Indonesia is one of those markets and received a facelift in February 2020.

Bermaz Auto has confirmed that the highly anticipated 2020 Mazda CX-30 will be launching in Malaysia soon. Bookings are now open, with prices starting from RM 143,119. Like the Mazda 3, the 2020 Mazda CX-30 will be imported from Japan.
