Today, the Perodua Ativa is no longer the only SUV of its class in Malaysia as Honda Malaysia has launched the 2023 Honda WR-V. Locally assembled (CKD) in Melaka, the HR-V is offered here in 4 variants. All 4 variants are powered by a naturally-aspirated 1.5-litre i-VTEC DOHC engine that makes 121 PS and 145 Nm. Power is sent to the front wheels (FWD) via a CVT-automatic transmission while stopping power is provided with front disc brakes and rear drums on all variants. Without further ado, here

There's no need for pitchforks, we still opine that the Perodua Ativa (D55L) remains a fantastic value proposition in Malaysia's new car space. It's right-sized, fairly powerful (What's that? Tekan tekan preggy?), and practical – but these are also the merits of the 2015 - 2022 Honda HR-V (RU-series).

The Proton X70 has been a runaway success for the Proton and now the 2022 update sees the best-selling SUV in the country getting a smaller 1.5-litre turbocharged 3-pot engine shared with the X50. Granted, for those who think small doesn’t mean better, there’s still the turbocharged 1.8-litre 4-cylinder for the highest variant. Even with one cylinder removed and being smaller in displacement, Proton claims that the X70’s new engine (177 PS/255 Nm) is superior to most of its rivals including the

Geely has launched the boldest looking version of the Geely Boyue, aka the Proton X70 at the 2021 Chengdu Auto Show. Known as the 2021 Geely Boyue X, here’s a closer look at the SUV’s exterior. We’ve seen a mixture of studio photos and spy shots, but now the live video Geely uploaded gives us a more detailed look of the car on display. The most obvious difference is the presence of the bold X-themed all-black grille rather than the company’s signature ‘Expanding Cosmos’ grille. The grille also g

As you know by now, the government’s Penjana economic stimulus package is currently offering full exemption for the 10 percent sales tax for locally-assembled passenger cars until 31-December 2020. Imported passenger cars will still have to pay sales tax, but only at half the normal rate. The keyword here is passenger cars. Pick-up trucks are classified as commercial vehicles, and as such, prices will remain unchanged. The good news is that Sime Darby Auto Connexion, the distributor of Ford vehi

Ford has just unveiled the new Ford Ranger Thunder – a kitted-up Ranger based on the popular Ranger Wildtrak, exclusive for the European market. Separating the Ranger Thunder from the regular Ranger Wildtrak is new Sea Grey colour, exclusive 18-inch alloy wheels and Ebony Black finishing on the front grille, rear bumper, skid plates, fog light surrounds, and door handles.
