Mercedes-Benz Thailand has launched the 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e plug-in hybrid (PHEV). It is locally assembled in the Kingdom and comes in the AMG Dynamic trim, priced at 4,180,000 Baht (around RM 546k). Like the W206 C350e, the GLC 350e has a 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that makes 204 PS/320 Nm on its own. An electric motor boosts total output to 313 PS/550 Nm, which is sent to the rear wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission. 0-100 km/h is claimed at 6.7 seconds and tops o

Being a premium offering always means having to delicately balance the lifestyle aspect that’s to be expected with the product. The gist of it is that people who drop big money on your premium products do so not just for the product itself, but the image it portrays. It’s no different with cars.

It’s race weekend again and the Idemitsu 25 Hours Super Endurance race is happening at the Chang International Circuit in Buriram, Thailand. Today is the qualifying round, with actual race days set to happen over this weekend (17- to 18-December).

One of the drivers for #232 is Akio Toyoda (Morizo), whi

The all-new Nissan Almera is an underrated gem for sure but in terms of sales, it is unmatched compared to the Honda City and the Toyota Vios even in Malaysia. In February however, Miss Mera did the unthinkable in Thailand when it overtook the Vios as the second best-selling B-segment sedan. According to the latest sales data, the Toyota Vios (which is sold as the Yaris Ativ in Thailand) was the second best-selling B-segment sedan in the Kingdom in January, behind the Honda City. The Nissan Alme

Before we start the story, allow us to clarify: No, the Proton Exora and Perodua Aruz are not in the same segment. The Exora is an MPV while the Aruz is an SUV.

If you’re wondering that the Perodua Alza would be a better comparison to the Exora, allow us to explain that though the Alza sits 7, it is more of a 5+2 setup rather

Prepare to get excited Toyobaru fans! That’s because Subaru has announced that the long-awaited successor to one of the WapCar office’s favourite sports car, the all-new Subaru BRZ will have its world debut in fall 2020. Well, technically it’s already fall if you’re reading this in the Northern Hemisphere but for the lucky few who attended the 2020 Subiefest World Record Attempt and Charity Drive at Costa Mesa, California, they get a sneak peek of the sports car.
