A district judge in the US state of California has dismissed a lawsuit by disgruntled Tesla owners, alleging that Tesla’s monopoly on repairs is forcing customers to accept high prices and long waits. This follows after a pair of antitrust class actions suits filed in March alleging that Tesla’s vehicle design, warranty and repair policies are deliberately designed to force owners and lessees to be dependent on Tesla for all repairs, limiting competition from third parties. The complaints made c

"Leaving no car lovers behind" is Toyota's precept behind their exhibition at the ongoing 2023 Tokyo Auto Salon. Slightly sentimental, yes, but the proof of that is in seeing their cars of yesteryear make it to today's show – exemplifying that is this pair of concept AE86s; one fuelled by hydrogen (H2), and the other, pure electric (BEV).

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.

The 7-seater, B-segment marketplace has evolved greatly. From serving up just utilitarian, functional vehicles, now there's style, features, and technology. I'd go as far to say that most won't mind being seen in one. If you're looking for a family friendly 7-seater car in 2021 that's below RM 100,000, you're practically spoilt for choice in this segment. However, some models like the Toyota Avanza, Honda BR-V and Perodua Alza are getting a bit long in the tooth. The good news is, there will be

The glitzy 2021 Mazda MX-5 has received a minor update in Malaysia, now coming with Wireless Apple CarPlay. The MX-5 is available in sole folding hardtop (RF) guise here, and this update is extended to both the six-speed automatic and manual variants. Beyond that, everything else remains the same - the 2.0-litre, naturally-aspirated four-cylinder mill still makes 181 PS at 7,000 rpm and 205 Nm at 4,000 rpm. Other features such as Adaptive LED headlights (ALH), Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-
