We’re all familiar with Geely SUVs. Other than the two models sold here as the Proton X50 and the Proton X70, Malaysians also have their eye on the Xingyue, Xingyue L, and the Haoyue because everybody hopes that these models would make it to our shores one day. But did you know that Geely has 5 other SUVs on sale as well? To make it clearer, Geely has separated their vehicle range to the Yue/Rui series (Yue for SUVs/ Rui for sedans), Emgrand series, and the Vision series. The Yue/Rui series is m

No more teasing this time. Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors (HSDM) has announced that bookings for the turbocharged variants of the Hyundai Kona are now opened and they will be arriving in Malaysia later this month. The two variants consist of the 1.6 Turbo and the N Line. The Kona N Line will be the first N Line model for sale in Malaysia.

Remember the mysterious SUV that made waves around the internet a few weeks ago? The office had a fun debate determining what it was and we concluded that it is likely to be the 2021 GAC Trumpchi GS3 Power. Now one of our readers who goes by Jeff spotted not one but a pair of GS3 Power making their testing rounds in Klang. While the rear might show some hints that the pair of SUVs is the GS3 Power, it is interesting to note that one of them is missing a pair of roof rails. That’s not all, the GS

As all Malaysians know, taxes weigh very heavily in pushing car prices up in our country. The government relies on the car industry to fill up over RM 10 billion worth of taxes annually. Free-trade agreements aside, the only way to go around this is to assemble the cars locally, but this only allows a manufacturer to skip the 30 percent import duty. The elephant in the room is excise duty, which ranges between 75 percent to 105 percent depending on engine capacity and body type. Excise duty appl
