BMW Group Malaysia delivered 15,012 units of BMW and MINI vehicles, including BMW Motorrad motorcycles. The figure is 3.8 percent higher than 2022. The group also ended the year as Malaysia’s No.1 premium automaker, for the fourth consecutive year. One third of the sales are financed by BMW Financial Services. Of the 15,000 total units delivered, the group’s namesake BMW brand contributed 11,699 cars, which is slightly lower than last year’s 11,800 units. MINI showed an impressive 42 percent gro

Production of the 2023 Proton X70 1.8 Premium 2WD has stopped, per data sourced from the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA). MAA's data shows that Tanjung Malim has stopped assembling the sole X70 1.8 Premium variant since October. However, Proton's site still list the RM 123,800 model as available, though we imagine that's only to go on while stocks last, short of an official announcement. In any case, discontinuing the X70 1.8 is another way to look at Proton preparing the factory for the

Well, it would seem Brunei has scored the limited edition Proton X70 faster than us here in Malaysia. We spotted a Proton dealer in Brunei, Pad Motors Proton Brunei, opening order books for a certain Proton X70 Exclusive Edition (hence the EE), with only 37 units available. As with our Proton X70 SE coverage earlier, this Exclusive Edition seems to have the Ocean Blue paint finish, with black accents on the roof and side mirrors. 19-inch wheels come from the Geely Boyue Pro, which is obviously n

It’s one of the oldest new cars that you can still buy in Malaysia, but the Perodua Alza is still one of Malaysia’s favourite MPVs. It’s a market that is slowly diminishing as most Malaysian families prefer getting SUVs instead. But while the Alza had turned 11 just a few days ago – it was launched on 23-November 2009 – its Japanese twin cousins were more or less domestic flops. The Toyota Passo Sette and Daihatsu Boon Luminas were sold for only 4 years between 2008 and 2012. So, what's the secr

A couple of months ago, we reported that Perodua is working on a crossover version of the Myvi, possibly called the Myvi Style. More recently, our friends over at Funtasticko posted photos of what could be the Perodua Myvi Style, albeit with a twist.
