To call the Geely Xingyue L a Chinese Volvo is not very farfetched considering that it is sitting on the Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) platform and is powered by a Volvo-derived engine. Launched in 2021 and sold overseas as the Geely Monjaro, the 5-seater SUV was recently given an update in China. The changes are very minor with a new Frosted Grey colour offered as well as new headlight and taillight designs. There are two variants for the 2023 model which are priced between RMB 157,700 and

When Geely took over 49.9 percent of Proton, it stated a bold promise of turning around the ailing Malaysian national car maker into the third biggest car brand in Southeast Asia’s ASEAN trade bloc – which comprises of 10 member countries. Five years into the 10-year plan, Proton finished 2022 with 141,432 cars sold, giving it a 19.6 percent market share in Malaysia. That’s still very far off from the 2027 goal, which calls for 400,000 units. In contrast, Perodua finished 2022 with 282,019 units

We previously reported that the upcoming 2021 Geely Boyue X will likely make its world debut at the 2021 Chengdu Auto Show, now we have confirmation.

Geely has done away with its signature ‘Expanding Cosmos’ front grille in favour of a massive X-themed all-black design. Spied images also revealed the Boyue X will feature

Last year in June, the government announced a decision to place sales tax (SST) exemption for cars – cut sales tax on CKD cars, while offering 50% sales tax discount for CBU models as part of the Penjana stimulus package. It was supposed to last until 31-December 2020 but in a twist that brought mixed reactions in the local automotive industry, the Ministry of Finance extended the exemption to 30-June 2021. So, if you’re interested to buy a new car, now might be the right time to take advantage

Proton had always been known for its saloon cars that were popular with Malaysian families. The Proton Saga, Wira, Waja, Perdana, and Preve are some to name. The most ambitious of them all would have been the Proton Preve, claimed as Proton’s first global car. Under the Proton-Geely partnership, several future model names have been registered. Including the X50 and X70, several other names have been registered too like the C50 and S50. The C50 is probably reserved for a hatchback model while the

The 2020 Mazda CX-30 will be coming to Malaysia soon as the official distributor, Bermaz Motor is now accepting bookings for their latest Mazda CX-30. Pricing was not in the CX-30’s favour it will be fully imported rather than assembled locally at Mazda Malaysia’s plant. This positioning places it in the league of the Toyota C-HR and not the Honda HR-V. Naturally so, as the 2020 Mazda CX-30 is a direct competitor to the C-HR and not the HR-V. Mazda has the CX-3 for that. The CX-30 and C-HR could
