It's a thinly-veiled disguise, but a disguise nonetheless: signs point towards the Perodua E-MO concept to be a future take on the Myvi. The dimensions are there, the modern reworking of a classic hatchback look is also present, but naturally this concept is thought with a carbon-neutral society in mind – hence its reveal as an electric vehicle (EV). But, is the revealing of this concept showing that Perodua is going all-in on just EVs? What's the company's stance on carbon-neutral mobility as a

Peugeot’s Malaysian distributor, Bermaz Auto Alliance Sdn Bhd (BAASB), has just introduced an all-new stylish design for the Peugeot 2008. Called the Peugeot 2008 Special Edition (SE), it is designed to inspire and reignite the excitement of fans of the French Lion who want something that personifies their individualistic and passionate tastes. On the exterior, the 2008 SE is fitted with unique graphic decals on the front bonnet and both sides of the car. Further accentuating the French SUV’s sl

The automotive industry is now buckling under the pressure of rising cost of raw materials and logistics, as well as shortage of semiconductor parts and labour. Since June, several manufacturers have already announced price hikes unrelated to the resumption of SST (though for ease of transition, the two factors are grouped into one price adjustment). Toyota for example, has already announced a circa RM 3,000 increase in prices of the Toyota Hilux, which as a commercial vehicle, never qualified f

The Perodua Ativa has been a hit in Malaysia, much like its donor twins, the Daihatsu Rocky and Toyota Raize in Japan and Indonesia. However, the models have been introduced in Japan back in 2019 and thus, it gets a slight update along with the addition of a hybrid variant. Back in June, we reported that Daihatsu was planning to expand its hybrid model range and this included the popular Rocky/Raize twins. Instead of sharing a similar hybrid system on existing models, the compact SUV utilises a

Unveiled back in Thailand in November, the 2021 Honda City Hatchback is Honda’s answer to the popular Toyota Yaris. Based on the GN-series City, the City Hatchback will supersede the ageing, but uber practical Jazz in this region. Set to be introduced in Malaysia later this year, let’s take a closer look at the 2021 Honda City Hatchback. 1. Why is the Jazz gone? The main reason why the all-new, fourth-generation Honda Jazz isn’t offered here is because it is seen as too radical for consumers in

Daihatsu has put an unnamed SUV on display at the ongoing 2019 Tokyo Motor Show and we believe this could very well be Perodua’s next SUV after the Aruz. Despite being an unnamed model, Daihatsu was gracious enough to provide the vital stats, including power output and dimensions. Power comes from a 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine that outputs 98 PS and 140 Nm, mated to a CVT-type automatic. Power is sent to the front wheels. The table below should give you a good idea of the
