Mercedes-Benz Malaysia reckons that although Thailand appears to be ahead of the region in terms of policies to boost EV adoption and localization, Malaysia is still more or less on par. “If you are talking about localizing efforts or sales, I think both countries have an equal opportunity at the end of the day to showcase electric vehicles. I would say right now they are more or less on par, in terms of bringing more electric vehicle models, in terms of sales adoption, so let’s wait and see how

Forget Ora or even Tesla, perhaps the EV maker that Malaysians are really looking forward to is BYD. China’s best-selling carmaker (in Nov 2022) just launched the BYD Atto 3 electric SUV in Malaysia and during its launch, public interest seems to be very high.

It needs a better powertrain First and foremost, the Toyota Avanza definitely needs a refresh in the powertrain dep

While the Proton X50 is coming soon (by October), let's take a look at its recently-launched, quirky cousin - the Lynk & Co. 06. What has the Proton X50 got to do with anything? We hear you ask. Well, Lynk & Co. is part of Geely Auto and as such, the 06 shares the BMA (B-segment Modular Architecture) with the Geely Binyue, which in turn underpins our upcoming X50. It doesn't stop there. The 06 gets a 1.5-litre, turbocharged three-cylinder mill pushing out 177 PS and 255 Nm mated to a 7-speed dua

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.
