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

Needless to say, one of the most highly-anticipated models to debut in Malaysia this year is the 2022 Perodua Alza, codenamed D27A. While details surrounding Perodua’s upcoming MPV are scarce, a Facebook group dedicated to the D27A Alza has popped up, with a post from a dealer claiming that prices of the all-new Alza will start from an estimated RM 69k. But is it true? Also Read: All-new 2022 Perodua Alza (D27A): What do we know about Malaysia's next big hit? What's the possible starting price o

GTI, the three most evocative letters in the hot hatch dictionary. And no other brand encapsulates GTI better than Volkswagen. Hot on the heels of the Mk8 Golf GTI, comes its mini-me, the facelifted Mk6 VW Polo GTI (or, the Mk6.5?). A first peek of things to come? You bet! VW says the uber-Polo will retain all the characteristics that made it so special in the first place: exceptional driving dynamics in combination with exceptional everyday usability. It is very likely to retain a turbocharged

So I'm in all the WapCar WhatsApp groups (you should join, they're the best if you want to meet other car people) and shortly after the handsome 2021 Toyota Yaris facelift broke cover, some members were abuzz with this question: "Why aren't we getting the JDM, TNGA-based 2020 Toyota Yaris here?" But this set of pictures tells a different story, or at least it seems on the surface. What is this Japan/European-spec Yaris doing in Thailand? Wearning no camo and with manufacturer trade plates has it

With all the attention focused on the upcoming Perodua D55L, one could easily forget that Perodua has another surprise up its sleeves. Case in point is the next-generation Perodua Alza, which could see the light of day sometime in late-2021 or early-2022. Recall that the Perodua Alza is one of the oldest new cars you can buy today, as the model was introduced in Malaysia way back in 2009. Over the course of 11 years, the Perodua Alza received numerous updates, though mechanically, it remained la

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. We know what you're thinking, the CKD Proton X70 is a C-segment SUV, while the Honda HR-V falls in B-segment category. But the biggest deciding factor here is the price of the cars. So it is inevitable to compare th
