Make no mistake, the affordable sports car of the future will either go the way of the dodo bird or burn a hole in your wallet. Mazda wants to fix that with one of the most controversial powertrain combinations that’s being previewed in its Mazda Iconic SP concept. What’s running it? A rotary electric hybrid. Yeah, kind of wild but we’re digging it. The concept was first unveiled virtually last year as the “Vision Study Model.” In the metal, it’s the Iconic SP. Once you delve under its streamlin

Think the Ford Ranger Raptor is too common with too many fakes on the road? By mid-2023, there will be an official, Ford-approved right-hand drive Ford F-150. Currently, the Ford F-150 is only available in left-hand drive format, sold predominantly in North American markets of USA and Canada, but it’s also available in China. There are right-hand drive F-150 models available, one of it is even sold in Malaysia by a grey importer but these are all converted units and the work is not recognized by

Perhaps inspired to take on the hydrogen initiative proposed by the Ministry of Environment and Water last week, someone in Malaysia placed an order or more on a hydrogen-powered Ford Ranger. Called the H2X Warrego, the Ranger FCEVs (fuel-cell electric vehicles) will be built by Australian hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle start-up, H2X Global. The pick-up truck is merely an FCEV conversion built by H2X Global, not Ford. The company was launched in 2020 as H2X Australia with a very ambitious plan inclu

For a very long time, the pick-up truck market has been dominated by the Toyota Hilux and it’s no wonder. As Top Gear once proved, the mighty Hilux is very much invincible. However, while the Hilux has been the default pick-up of choice (no doubt the same could be said about the updated facelift model), that doesn’t mean its competitors have backed down. Next year, there will be three new pick-up trucks to try and reduce the Hilux’s share in the market. Okay, it’s technically one brand-new truck

In line with Mazda’s centenary celebrations, Bermaz Motors has also opened the books for the new 2020 Mazda MX-5 RF facelift, alongside the Mazda CX-9 and Mazda2. CBU from Japan, the new MX-5 RF now comes with new gadgets and safety systems with an asking price of RM 266,154. On the outside, the MX-5 RF received minimal changes with only an updated Mazda badging and fonts design to show. Tech lovers would be happy to know that the MX-5 RF’s Mazda Connect Infotainment display has been updated wit
