After being spotted on Thai roads numerous times, Honda Automobile (Thailand) Co. Ltd. announced that it has started its first production line for the Honda e:N1 electric SUV at the company’s Parchin Buri plant. The fully electric (EV) twin of the Honda HR-V is the first EV from a major Japanese manufacturer to be produced in the Kingdom. In Europe, the e:N1 is called the e:Ny1 which is pronounced ‘anyone’ while in China, it is called e:NS1 or e:NP1 depending on the joint venture partner. At fir

At this point, the Toyota Corolla Cross has etched its name as Malaysia's current de facto SUV. This was the Honda HR-V's perch once before too, but in the face of its own age and newer rivals, it finds itself in quite a tight squeeze. It's up to the all-new model to regain lost footing then, which is set to be introduced here within the second half of this year (H2 2022). We're still months away from launch, so details are obviously scarce, but trusted sources have shared with us that there cou

ACO Tech is a Malaysian-Chinese joint venture between Proton, Altel Communications, and ECarX (Hubei) Technology.

There's been much ado recently and it's not about nothing - the 2020 Proton X50 has very clearly won Malaysia's popularity contest since its October launch. But popularity isn't the only thing Proton's latest B-segment SUV's got in common with A-list celebrities. As waiting lists extend up to 6 months, the X50 was caught in controversy following allegations that dealers were forcing customers to buy optional accessories. A lot of the hubbub is due to pricing: at RM 3,300 for the Utility Package

By and large, the Honda BR-V is a car that we’d happily recommend to families. It’s pretty well-built, seats 7, and features Honda’s famed interior packaging. Combine that with a solid powertrain package, and you can see why the BR-V is such a hit with its audience. 3 years on from its launch (the facelift model remains just as popular), the Honda BR-V remains a very compelling choice for buyers looking who want a no-frills, reliable and value-for-money motoring experience.
