Chery is making its Malaysian comeback very soon and it aims to launch its first two models, the Chery Omoda 5 and Chery Tiggo 8 Pro by the middle of 2023. These models will also be locally-assembled (CKD) in Malaysia right from the get-go. At a dinner event with the media, Vice President of Chery International and President for the ASEAN market, Shawn Xu, did not reveal any further information on where the plant is located nor who the local partners are. He has stated that CKD production is onl

From the doldrums of dull and the shores of soullessness, Toyota has somehow managed to make a deal with the devil and reclaim its soul from the depths of monotony with not one, but three performance models across a wide spectrum that appeals to each and every blood cell that would give us a boner. The new Toyota GR86 is probably the most accessible and they’ve spared no expense in giving it the advertising campaign it deserves… even if we don’t know what exactly it means.

We're right at the tail end of 2021, but the list of cars Malaysians have to look forward to isn't stopping short anytime soon: here's the preview of the locally-assembled (CKD Pekan, Pahang) 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI and Golf TSI R-Line. As tantalisingly close we were to the pair, let it be clear that they're yet to be launched, so prices are still yet to be announced.

A couple of years ago, remember when Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors (HSDM) sold the AD-generation Hyundai Elantra? They even offered a performance-biased model called the Elantra Sport, fitted with a 204 PS turbo engine. This red car is the newest generation Hyundai Elantra. Hyundai dropped the Sport name in favour of the newer N-Line name, creating the Elantra N-Line in the process. The Elantra is sold as the Hyundai Avante in selected markets, such as South Korea and Singapore. Also Read: All-new H

The Proton X50 and Perodua D55L are probably 2020’s most talked-about cars in Malaysia. Though both SUVs have yet made their debut, the comparisons between the 2 cars have started since sightings of the Daihatsu Rocky/ Toyota Raize (Perodua D55L in Japan) started surfacing during the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show. But how do the 2 SUVs compare in size? Here’s a quick size comparison. While there is much talk about the two being the strongest “competitors” in the B-segment SUV market, the 2 cars’ sizes v

If you thought that Mitsubishi has lost its charm by rolling out boring bread-and-butter models, think again. This is the Mitsubishi Xpander AP4, claimed to be the first-ever MPV to enter a rally stage. Built to conform to FIA AP4 rally regulations, the Xpander AP4 features a 1.6-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that outputs an eye-watering 344 PS and 556 Nm (the regular Xpander does 105 PS and 141 Nm). A 6-speed sequential transmission replaces the regular Xpander’s 4-speed automatic, natur
