The 2023 D74A Perodua Axia is characterised by a spec-sheet that's never-before-seen in its category in Malaysia. Never mind its powertrain, the real headliner is the rich safety features that's crammed into its tiny body. 6 airbags, and Perodua Smart Drive Assist (PSDA) ADAS are what's fitted to the range-topping 1.0 AV model, in addition to the standard VSC (vehicle stability control) that's on every variant. Impressive as it is that these are now available on an Axia, it also spells a future

The humble Perodua Myvi does appear to be shot with an insane amount of flak from all corners though on the flip side, many would agree it’s completely deserving of the hate.

Our personal favourite is “Myvi Buat Hal Apa Hari ini, Esok & Hingga Kiamat.” (What problem did the Myvi do today, tomorrow and until the end of the world).

The King, which is badged as the Daihatsu Sirion in the archipelago, was awarded the best city car award in the Marketeers Youth Choice Brands of the Year 2020. This was a result of a survey conducted by Marketeers with 1,300 Generation Z respondents all over Indonesia within the age of 18 to 25 years old. The majority of the

Blink and you'll miss it - well, not news about the Proton X50 because that's plastered everywhere since the last couple of weeks. Today also marks its official launch (prices start at RM 79,400) but a few tiny details in Proton's livestream earlier today caught our eye. A glimpse of the facelifted Persona? Take a look at these frames. Now, we know that the Persona is undergoing a facelift of which we think the jerky Punch CVT could give way to a four-speed automatic transmission. Proton has bee

When Proton launched the Iriz back in 2014, it received much fanfare as Proton developed and envisioned the Iriz to be a global model – it’s Global Small Car (GSC) codename was proof of that. But the Iriz fell short of its global aspirations – the car was only exported to Indonesia (how many units were sold?) and left-hand drive versions never materialized. Putting aside its global aspirations, the Iriz proved to be a decent alternative to the second-generation Perodua Myvi, as all variants of t
