UMW Toyota Motor has issued a statement concerning Daihatsu's recent announcement on the company's new additional procedural irregularities that has affected the Toyota Rush, Vios, and Yaris, produced at the Assembly Services Sdn. Bhd. plant in Shah Alam, and the Veloz that's made alongside the Alza at Perodua Manufacturing Sdn Bhd, Rawang. In summary, this new issue (seperate from what happened back in April and May) stems from a recent investigation by an independent third-party committee that

The Malaysian automotive landscape completely changed on 25 May 2005 with the launch of the first generation Perodua Myvi. P2 was the second choice among Malaysians and it was even stated explicitly in the name but the Myvi became a sensational smash that Perodua began overtaking Proton as Malaysia’s best-selling brand not long after. The Myvi has gone through 3 generations since its launch nearly 20 years ago and barely stepped off the top podium in the sales chart every year. It’s not the same

It’s hard – perhaps nigh impossible – to replace Freddie Mercury. Just ask Adam Lambert, who probably heard the sharpening of pitchforks when he was named Queen’s frontman. Parallels can be drawn with the Honda Jazz and Honda City Hatchback in Malaysia, with the latter having to deal with raving fans, monumental expectations, and sales figures to worry about on top of that.

We know the Perodua D55L SUV is coming, but it could be here sooner than expected. Submitted by one of our readers, this heavily-camouflaged car is almost certainly the Perodua D55L, touted to be the carmaker's next big hit. The photo was taken right outside the Road Transport Department's (JPJ) Putrajaya office - which points to the car possibly undergoing the Vehicle Type Approval (VTA) process. What is the Perodua D55L? The Perodua D55L is Perodua’s codename for its upcoming B-segment SUV. It

Back at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show, Daihatsu showcased the DN Trec concept, a concept SUV that embodied the “active, fun, tough” theme. Let’s take a closer look and see how much the DN Trec evolved from a concept car into the Toyota Raize/Daihatsu Rocky. From the exterior, Daihatsu refined much of the design elements on the DN Trec to give it a more angular and rugged design, as keywords they uncovered after conducting a survey on younger buyers included “active” and “power”.
