With a wave of affordably priced Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) launching in Malaysia, all eyes are certainly on the dreamers and the big-eyed felines. However, there is one pioneer from an established marque that was given an update not so long ago that many people have somehow overlooked – the 2023 Renault Zoe. Indeed, the Renault Zoe along with the Nissan Leaf are among the first mass-produced EVs from a mainstream carmaker. While the Leaf received a second generation in 2017 and an update w

The Suzuki Jimny is apparently all the rage now. Despite the internet complaining about its price, the first two shipments have already been sold out. It’s clear that if you found the right niche, what the internet thinks doesn’t matter at all. Before the Jimny, it was the Swift Sport (ZC33S) that spearheaded Suzuki’s re-entry to Malaysia and it too had pricing complaints. But we’ve been told that there are far less units sold compared to the Jimny, even if the Swift Sport is cheaper and offers

The 2021 Suzuki Swift Sport has been introduced in Singapore, roughly two months after the hot hatch was launched in Malaysia.

It’s official, Suzuki has returned to Malaysia after a 5-year hiatus. One of its most iconic models, the Suzuki Swift Sport, is set to make a comeback. Full disclosure - yours truly has a third-generation Suzuki Swift Sport (ZC32S) with a stick shift, hence some bias is likely at play here. As the title would already have hinted, I am a die-hard fan of manual transmissions. So much so that when my colleague Jason was throwing furniture at another colleague, Arif, for his article on manual transm

At the ongoing 2021 Bangkok International Motor Show, Suzuki Motor Thailand is showcasing its entire line-up of vehicles, including the recently-updated 2021 Suzuki Swift facelift. Visually, you’ll be hard-pressed to tell the pre-facelift model from the facelift model apart – it’s that subtle. Changes include restyled 16-inch alloy wheels and a revised front grille. Blink and you’ll miss it. Also Read: New 2021 Suzuki Swift facelift launched in Thailand: 1.2L DualJet, CVT, 23 km/L Inside, upper

Enthusiast cars are getting rarer by the day, especially in Malaysia. We used to see a variety of brand-new hot/warm hatches being offered such as the Ford Fiesta ST or even the Suzuki Swift Sport. Now though, they are all but extinct. Thankfully, there’s still the used car channel and myself was lucky enough to get a hold of a stock 2015 Suzuki Swift Sport - codenamed ZC32S - in manual, no less. Out of the box, the Swift Sport is already known to punch above its weight. In the twisties, it keep
