UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has confirmed that it has two more models to launch this year. In a press statement released by its parent company UMW Group regarding its automotive division’s April 2023 sales performance, it was also said that “UMWT expects demand and sales to be sustained throughout the year, supported by the introduction of new and facelift models.” The new model is clearly referring to the 2023 Toyota Innova, which in some markets like Indonesia, is marketed as the Innova Zenix.

The 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid is many things, but an enthusiast’s choice is certainly not one of those. It’s the antithesis of excitement from the looks to the performance but then again, do you expect the Corolla name to be associated with fun around the corners?

The all-new 2022 Lexus NX is now in Malaysia, but you can't drive it Some parts are missing What happened to this Lexus NX? Surprise, surprise.

The fourth-gen Mazda 3 is a favourite here in WapCar and apparently, Malaysians love it too. With 2021 units reportedly sold out, those wanting a brand-new Mazda 3 would have to wait until the 2022 update comes in. 3 years after i

The BMW 1 Series is somewhat of an anomaly to the BMW range in Malaysia. The 1 Series is envisioned as an entry model to the rest of the BMW range, but with prices almost nudging those of the seminal 3 Series, the 1 Series found lesser popularity amongst Malaysian buyers. Moreover, as opposed to BMW’s sedan and SUV models, the 1 Series doesn’t quite conjure the same X-factor rating as buying a 3 Series (or an X1 for that matter) as your first BMW. It doesn’t help too that, it goes up against est

As you know, the new 2021 Hyundai Kona facelift has made its debut in town – just 6 months after the launch of the pre-facelift.
