In addition to better fuel economy, and improved drivability – the D-CVT transmission is also claimed to improve acceleration.

Admit it, most of us often forget that SUVs were built to have certain levels of off-road capabilities.

Wait, wasn’t the Yaris Cross announced last year? The difference between the upcoming Yaris-based SUV and the e

Now that the locally assembled (CKD) Proton X70 is finally here, you must be thinking: RM 122k for a C-segment SUV complete with panoramic sunroof? Now that’s affordable! But wait, is the affordably priced X70 the most practical option? The similarly priced Honda HR-V begs to differ.

So it is inevitable to compare th
