Toyota celebrated a winning 2022 in Indonesia, as the carmaker sold 331,410 units of their vehicles in the archipelago last year. That translates to a scintillating 31.6% market share of the total industry volume (TIV) of 1,048,000 units. In other words, 1 in every 3 cars sold there last year is a Toyota. MPVs were, unsurprisingly, their sales champions. The Toyota Avanza accounted for 60,619 units, while 32,022 units of the Toyota Veloz (treated as a seperate model) found new homes. In total, t

Perodua collected some 24,265 orders in the month of July, which is a healthy sign that demand for its vehicles remain strong notwithstanding the sales tax reinstatement on 1 July 2022.

Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) has opened bookings for the highly anticipated 2020 Mitsubishi Xpander. The 7-seater B-segment SUV will come to town to face stiff competition like the Honda BR-V and the Perodua Aruz. But we think that these 5 features make it a winner above all its 7-seater rivals. All Round Monitor (ARM) – bird’s eye view around you Other than the Toyota Rush, the Xpander is the only other 7-seater B-segment car that comes with a 360-degree parking camera.

The oddly named Mazda CX-30 slots between the B-segment CX-3 and the C-segment CX-5. Why is called the CX-30 instead of a more logical CX-4 then? That's because the CX-4 already exists as a totally unrelated China-only model (based on the previous generation CX-5). This 2020 Mazda CX-30 that you see here is Mazda's latest global product.
