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. N

Like many car manufacturers, Perodua too is facing severe disruption in its supply chain, leading to long waiting period for its customers. Being Malaysia’s No.1 car brand is a double-edged sword - because of the scale Perodua operates in, everything good and bad is amplified to a level few other manufacturers face. Perodua sells nearly a quarter million cars a year. For 2022, it targets to sell 247,800 units, despite the ongoing challenge in getting enough parts to build enough cars. The global

The wait is nearly over as Perodua has just officially announced the specs of the all-new D27A 2022 Perodua Alza along with bookings. With three variants offered, the Malaysian twin to the Toyota Veloz/Avanza and Daihatsu Xenia is more jammed-packed compared to its predecessor.

Clear as day images of the upcoming 2022 all-new Toyota Avanza 7-seater MPV have been leaked online. Indonesian social media channels have shared several images whilst detailing features such as a floating central infotainment screen, digital air-conditioning display, and an Electric Parking Brake (EPB). As previously reported, up to 17 variants of the third-generation Toyota Avanza and its twin, the Daihatsu Xenia will be offered. The next-gen Avanza, codenamed D26A, could be available with eit

For better or for worse, there’s a new entry level Toyota model in the GR-family – Indonesia’s Toyota Avanza Veloz GR Limited, priced from just IDR 221,400,000 (about RM 65,000). But hey, it’s rear-wheel drive, and in Indonesia, Avanza is the preferred car at gymkhana circuits. Toyota’s GR family of cars are split into two tiers – sitting right the top are pure GR cars – the Toyota GR Supra, Toyota GR Yaris, and Toyota GR86 – models that exist only as a GR model, as opposed to BMW’s M or Mercede

Back in July, Nissan launched its new redesigned logo which made its debut on its first fully-electric crossover, the Ariya. As such, the logo is seen on various mediums, both digitally and physically. Malaysia will follow suit alongside the soon-to-be-launched 2020 Nissan Almera Turbo. However, this doesn’t mean that the new logo will be on the Almera Turbo, but rather Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) will introduce the redesigned logo in stages across different mediums such as letterheads, social
