The China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) reported that the Chinese market sold 9.533 million new cars between January and June 2023. Out of these sales, a total of 2,093,000 cars were battery electric vehicles (BEVs), making China the world's largest EV market. While BYD retained its dominant position in the market with 524,184 BEVs sold, which accounted for 25.04% of the market share, Tesla’s Model Y was the best-selling model (not just BEV) in China for the first half of 2023 (H1 2023) with

To the average Malaysian, picking an MPV for their family needs mostly boils down to brand and model, with little emphasis paid to whether said MPV has sliding doors or hinged doors. The same cannot be said for the Japanese market. A hallmark for Japanese market MPVs is the availability of sliding doors. It doesn’t matter if the doors are power-operated or manual, having sliding doors over regular hinged doors is a must for the model to succeed in Japan. But why sliding doors over hinged doors?

Japanese police cars aren’t just limited to the run-of-the-mill Toyota Crown or Toyota Prius, as certain prefectural police forces have far more potent cars in their fleet.

Time and again, I have recommended this car to anyone shopping in this segment, and am overjoyed every time someone ends up taking my advice. Problem is, whenever I recommend the Almera, the first reaction I get is, "A Nissan Almera, are you sure? Is it THAT GOOD?" To really convince them, I'd have to stop

To be clear, the Mazda CX-30 is not a rival to the BMW X1. As you know, the imported-from-Japan CX-30 is not cheap, no thanks to additional import/excise taxes. For about the same RM 176,059 (with SST) asking price of this top specs all-wheel-drive (AWD) Mazda CX-30 variant, you can buy a lightly used, barely a year old certified pre-owned (CPO) but lower specs front-wheel drive BMW X1 sDrive20i from BMW Premium Selection. So you still want the Mazda? Brand snobs need not think further, but if y
