The association between Proton and Mitsubishi has been fundamental throughout most of the first half of the Malaysian tiger’s existence. While the likes of the Mitsubishi Lancer, Colt, Mirage Asti, Galant Eterna, and Town Box were given the Proton rebadge treatment, there were a few Three Diamond models that only remained in boardroom discussions. One of those proposed rebadges involved a Mitsubishi that was developed solely for the Australian market. If you imagine Australian carmakers, chances

Back when cars were cars rather than smartphone on wheels, the world was quite simple. You either used Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer, liked either Honda or Toyota, before graduating to either the BMW or Mercedes-Benz camp. If driving performance is what you seek, a BMW is the one to buy. No one disputed its Ultimate Driving Machine tagline. The BMW 3 Series conquered touring car races across Europe, and was the default choice for young stock brokers in London’s financial centre in the

ACO Group, one of Malaysia’s largest distributors of electrical products, has tied up with EV Connections, the developer of the JomCharge app and operator of 5 solar-powered EV chargers at petrol stations, to install a 180 kW DC fast charger at ACO Group’s headquarters in Taman Johor Jaya in Johor Bahru. ACO Group says the DC fast charger will be one of the fastest in the country, and the fastest in Johor. To encourage EV adoption, the service will be available to the public free of charge for o

Earlier this week, BMW Malaysia launched the G20 generation 2020 BMW 330e, marking a return of the locally-assembled, plug-in hybrid BMW 3 Series. Kitted with M Sport package, the 330e is priced at RM 264,413 without SST, valid until 31-December 2020. With the resumption of SST, prices will increase to RM 268,800. Mercedes-Benz’s equivalent to the 330e is the C300e. On paper, the C300e packs more power than the 330e, with a combined system output of 320 PS (DIN hp) versus the BMW’s 292 PS. The C

** This article is the personal experience of a 2018 BMW 318i owner and does not necessarily reflect the views of WapCar. Fazrul Aziz I bought this BMW 318i LCI recently from my sister as she bought a new Toyota Alphard. The mileage clocks at 25k only! Even though she sold it to me at the market’s price, the conditions & maintenance is top-notch. Also, the car is still under BMW warranty programme and free scheduled service for the next 3 years. How everything started Back in my university days,

With the introduction of the new 2020 Mercedes-Benz C200 AMG Line in Malaysia, the biggest change revolves around the powertrain. The update to the 2020 C200 AMG Line sees the return of the M264 2.0-litre engine in place of the outgoing 1.5-litre EQ Boost unit with 48-volt mild hybrid. This does seem rather strange seeing that the EQ Boost powertrain was only introduced in late-2018. Having said that, there's no arguing with the output of the M264 engine. Power is up from 181 PS to 206 PS. Torqu
