Just 3 months after its global debut in Thailand on 9-August 2022, Toyota Motor Thailand has collected 45,802 bookings (as of 28-November) for the D92A generation all-new 2023 Toyota Vios. Of these, 12,972 units have already been delivered to customers, said Surasak Suthongwan, Executive Vice President of Toyota Motor Thailand at yesterday’s opening of the 2022 Thailand International Motor Expo in Bangkok. The Vios is sold in Thailand under the Yaris Ativ name, with a smaller 1.2-litre naturally

Okay, settle down, fans of the Proton Iriz (Irizians?). We’re not putting down the facelifted Iriz before we even have a chance to get behind the wheel of one and frankly, we could be seeing Proton's sole hatchback for a little bit longer. That said, the Iriz is in bad company. It was supposed to be a contender against the Perodua Myvi and though it received praises when it was launched in 2014, that whole excitement quickly died down. Things only became worse when the second “national” carmaker

The Proton Iriz and Proton Persona have both been seen in camouflage a few times recently. Both cars are bound for a facelift, and if we look closely at the camouflaged Proton Iriz, it has some hints of SUV styling. Besides the SUV-like Proton Iriz, a Proton Iriz R3 or “R3 Sport” might just be around the corner too. Proton chief designer, Azlan Othman, has mentioned last year that Proton will introduce package options to its cars, namely the “Lifestyle”, “Design”, and “R3 Sports” package. It has

The third-generation Perodua Myvi was introduced back in 2017. The model competes against the Proton Iriz in the B-segment hatchback market. Let’s take a closer look and see how much owners of the Perodua Myvi are expected to pay in terms of maintenance and insurance cost over a 5-year/100,000 km period. Owners of the Perodua Myvi (both the 1.3 and 1.5 variants) need to fork out RM 177,70 for the first service, performed at the 10,000 km mark. Similar to other Perodua models, the automatic varia

A couple of days ago, Toyota released a new TV commercial which features their latest SUV – the Raize. We’ve covered the Raize (and its Daihatsu Rocky sibling) extensively, but how do you pronounce Raize? In case you’re wondering, the correct pronunciation for Raize is “ri-ze”, similar to “rise”, instead of “rai-zee” or “raise”. To recap, both the Toyota Raize and Daihatsu Rocky are identical twins – both cars are built by Daihatsu at its Ryuo plant. Power is derived from a 1.0-litre 1KR-VET tur

Nissan owners in Malaysia, you are now able to give your Nissan its much-needed service, as Tan Chong Ekspres Auto Servis (TCEAS) has received approval from the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) to partially resume their operations. Do note that services are limited by MITI's approval to just: service maintenance, minor repairs, and vehicle breakdown services.
