Honda’s second and latest fully-electric (EV) offering for Europe looks familiar. Compared to the Honda e, the 2023 Honda e:Ny1 (Anyone) is a conventional crossover SUV that resembles the Honda HR-V. Perhaps the H brand is playing safe in attracting buyers? Still, it might be a bit of a disservice to call the e:Ny1 as just an electric HR-V because it’s built on a completely brand-new platform. The e:N Architecture F high-performance front-motor driven platform underpins this HR-V-looking electri

"An all new version of a best-seller, and other new models coming soon", said by UMWT President Ravindran K., are proof enough that the all-new 2023 Toyota Vios (D92A)'s launch in Malaysia is very soon upon us.

The Proton X50 - as we have now firmly established - has been quite the hit with Malaysian buyers. And why not? For the asking price, it's got a pretty comprehensive list of goodies inside and out. There are many things to love about the Proton X50, (you can learn more about the X50's Pros and Cons right here) but if there's one glaring flaw to highlight, it would be the lack of Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration in the infotainment system.

Proton ended 2019 on a strong note, firmly putting the Proton X70 as the undisputed leader in the C-SUV segment, with over 13,300 units, eclipsing the Honda CR-V’s 12,000 plus units. But does it come as a surprise at all? Thanks to generous tax incentives that nobody else apart from Proton and Perodua enjoys, the rebadged Geely Boyue is nearly RM 50,000 cheaper than a similarly equipped Honda CR-V 1.5 TC-P.

Given the strong demand for the Iriz, the refreshed hatchback has very quickly found its way to
