You would think that newer is better, and conventional wisdom suggests that consumers will avoid an ageing model to buy the latest model on the market. That’s usually true but there are some models that buck the trend, mostly because these cars appeal to a very pragmatic group users and for them, new equals unproven. The above describes buyers of the Honda BR-V, which has been on the market since 2017 and little has changed throughout its model life. Even though an all-new model has already been

Thailand to launch Avanza successor this month Malaysia to follow later More upmarket 7-seater MPV than Avanza Toyota Motor Thailand has opened bookings for the 2022 Toyota Veloz ahead of its official launch there on 24-February 2022, succeeding the long-standing Toyota Avanza. Specifications for the Thai-spec Veloz are still unclear, but think of it as a slightly more upmarket take on the Avanza's recipe. Indonesia already has the Veloz, and their range-topping Toyota Veloz Q CVT TSS is very we

The 7-seater / MPV segment in Malaysia hasn’t seen much action over the past couple of years. The Proton Exora and Perodua Alza are the longest-serving models here (and still are), while models like Nissan Grand Livina and Proton Ertiga have came and gone without a respective replacement model.

But that was it – for the past three years since the Aruz made its Malaysian debut,

Let’s face it, when it comes to MPV selection in Malaysia, the Toyota Sienta isn’t likely to be the default choice for many. Malaysians would rather stick to more popular models such as the Toyota Wish or Honda Stream. And that is also the reason why the Toyota Sienta was relatively short-lived in Malaysia, having lasted on sale from 2016 to 2019, which was also the year Toyota launched the facelifted Sienta – a model that Malaysians did not get.

The Honda BR-V is already quite far along into its model life. It was launched in January 2017 and a mid-life facelift has already been introduced in Thailand and Indonesia earlier this year, but not Malaysia. With the current delay in price approvals by the government for many locally-assembled models, we don’t expect the new Honda BR-V to be introduced anytime soon. At least not until the delays for the new Honda Civic is resolved. So should you still consider the aging Honda BR-V then? At the
