Three 1.5-litre engines available – naturally aspirated i-VTEC, VTEC Turbo, e:HEV full hybrid Malaysia is only country in the world (so far) to offer HR-V with 3 engine options If production engineers at car plants have their way, only one model will be produced, with only one variant, all painted in the same colour. This is because variations in product lines slow down an assembly line’s speed, which in turn leads to increase in manufacturing cost. To engineers, variations add unnecessary compl

Feast your eyes on this! UMW Toyota has uploaded an interior photo of the all-new 2022 Toyota Veloz’s cabin, giving us a good look at the new premium cabin. From what we can see, the Perodua Alza’s sister model will feature mixed leather and fabric seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a 9-inch infotainment screen, and blue ambient lighting. Other than that, it looks like there will be carbon fibre prints scattered across the door handle for a sporty look. Alongside the photo of the Veloz’s c

With the 2022 Perodua Myvi facelift officially launched in Malaysia, the car maker has finally decided to do away with the archaic 4-speed automatic transmission (4AT). In its place is a newer, more advanced D-CVT unit. If our experience in the Perodua Ativa (which uses the same transmission) is anything to go by, the D-CVT will bring a peppier, more coherent and slicker driving experience to the facelifted Myvi. But, more than just mere subjective feelings, is the D-CVT better than its 4AT when

Having made its debut in 2009, the Perodua Alza is one of the oldest models on sale in Malaysia currently. But that may not be for too long more as its expected replacement - codenamed the D27A - could be launched as early as the end of this year. In their latest annual report, Sapura Industrial Berhad (SIB), a Perodua parts supplier, says that they are currently in the "development phase of parts awarded for the Alza replacement model (D27A) expected to be launched by end 2021".

The highly anticipated Proton X50 was finally publicly unveiled last week and although some mistakes were made on our part, we’re still very much excited to see how it drives. Besides having Proton’s trademark ride and handling on the hot crossover, another thing to look forward to would be the brand-new 1.5-litre 3-cylinder port injected engine. Proton labels this engine as a multi-point injected (MPI) engine – perhaps an homage to the Iswara which was badged as an MPI in the UK? The Proton X50

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
