When Toyota unveiled the all-new 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado (250 Series) in August, it also revealed two silhouettes of what could be future extensions of the Land Cruiser line-up at the end of the livestream. Not long after, Japan’s biggest carmaker applied the Land Hopper name for trademark at the Japan Patent Office. While many in the automotive media speculated that this is the name given for either of the two Land Cruiser-looking derivatives or even for the production version of the 500

Was the last decade better for green motoring in Malaysia than today? You recall UMWT alone offering three models – the Prius, Prius C, and the locally-assembled Camry Hybrid – but that was that, and their successors never made it here. How did that happen? Policies shoulder the brunt of the blame; as tax breaks went away, prices for these cars became a little too uncompetitive for most Malaysians. Hybrids then fell to the wayside. But leave it to the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid to challenge thi

Electricity generation - more than 80 percent of it coming from fossil fuels – are the biggest source of carbon emissions in Malaysia, responsible for 39 percent of total carbon dioxide (CO2) emission. Cars and other land transport vehicles emit just slightly more than half as much CO2 as power plants. So the argument about phasing out internal combustion engines and skipping hybrids - which critics say still use combustion engines and therefore delay BEV migration – is the best way to reduce ca

You've been waiting for it, and now it's here. The compact SUV segment in Malaysia just got a whole lot more interesting with the arrival of the Toyota Corolla Cross. You've probably read and digested all the specifications and features, gone back and forth through the brochure. Established players such as the Honda HR-V, Subaru XV, Mazda CX-3 (and the Proton X70 to some extent) have had this segment of the market pretty much licked for years, especially after Toyota's own C-HR was pulled from t

A mysterious Honda sedan has recently been spotted, though we’re not too certain what we’re looking at here. Depending on who you ask, the new model seen here could be an all-new Honda Civic or an updated Honda Accord. The biggest clue that this could be the next-generation Honda Civic is the headlights – they look similar to the ones found on the 2022 Civic Type R (look it up). Even the side profile looks similar to the camouflaged Type R, lending credence that it could be Honda’s next-generati
