Honda Malaysia has delivered over 39,000 cars in the first half of 2022, up 60 percent when compared to the same six-month period in 2021. From the six months, March was an incredibly strong month for Honda, with more than 10,500 units sold. The results also gave Honda a 12 percent market share in Malaysia’s new car sales.

According to some sources close to Vietnamese media, Toyota will be launching the Toyota Raize SUV in the country by the end of the year. The Raize is, of course, the twin to the Perodua Ativa and Daihatsu Rocky. Currently, the small SUV is only available in right-hand drive markets, mainly Japan, Malaysia, and soon Indonesia. Vietnam could be the first left-hand drive market to receive the Raize. There are various signs pointing to this possibility. One is the trademark for Raize has been regis

To some, the Nissan Almera is an easy target to hate on – it’s far from being good-looking, and rivals such as the Honda City and Toyota Vios have practically made the Nissan irrelevant.

For starters, the Almera is a massive upgrade for people that are upgrading from much older cars; think Nissan Sunny, Perodua Kancil or Proton Iswara and you’ll get the picture. Despite having just 2 airbags and ABS, the Alme
