Proton is an ambitious carmaker with a strong national sense but unlike most national car projects, P1 persevered. Though that “national” title is irrelevant today, its pride remains true to every single Malaysian 40 years after the project was first announced. Some might argue that Proton (and by some extension, Perodua) squandered any feasible chance of Malaysia being an attractive hub for foreign carmakers who chose Indonesia and Thailand as their destination for growth in the ASEAN region.

The Japan Automobile Dealers Association (JADA) and All Japan Light Motor Vehicle Associations have announced the sales figures of cars sold in the Land of the Rising Sun for the first half of 2022.

Unlike in Malaysia, the Nissan Almera is enjoying a pretty solid sales streak over in Thailand. Since its introduction back in November 2019, it's been consistently beating the Toyota Yaris Ativ (essentially our Vios with a smaller 1.2-litre engine), and nips ever closer at the Honda City's heels in Q1 2021. According to numbers compiled by Headlight Magazine, Nissan moved 4,756 units of the Almera within January to March; resulting in a 21.9% market share. Interestingly, this marks the first ti

Perodua aims to sell 240,000 vehicles in 2021 - a 9% increase from the impressive 220,163 units sold last year. The company cites sustained strong demand for existing models and the sales tax (SST) exemption as key factors in achieving this goal.

Late last year, Kia Malaysia dropped a teaser on their Facebook page, hinting the arrival of the Kia Seltos. Set to compete against the Honda HR-V, Mazda CX-3, Renault Captur, and Nissan Kicks upon its arrival, Kia Malaysia has previewed the Seltos for its dealers at a closed door event. It looks like Kia Malaysia could be introducing two variants of the Seltos – GT Line and standard.
