As this blue and green third rock from the sun completes its orbit around the pulsating red giant heat sphere, another year passes. 2023 could also see another record-breaking year of automotive sales in Malaysia. Still, as we get accustomed to writing 2024 (or 2023A for the superstitious) on our calendar dates, we also would like to remember the key models that did not make it. Bar certain variants that have been discontinued like the Mazda 3 1.5-litre variants and the Volkswagen Golf R-Line, w

Better late than never, our northern neighbours Thailand has finally seen the all-new 2023 Toyota Innova Zenix Hybrid launched there in 2 variants and with prices starting from 1,379,000 baht (~RM 185,100).

Over the past couple of days, Perodua has been dropping a number of teasers surrounding the D27A all-new 2022 Perodua Alza.

When we previously reported the launch of the new 2021 Honda Odyssey second facelift, we said that Honda Malaysia hasn’t announced anything in regards to bringing the updated car to our shores. But now, we expect that the second facelift will come to Malaysia by 2021. The second facelift for the fifth-generation Honda Odyssey made its debut in Japan.

(Model | Gallery) The Perodua Alza is Malaysia’s most affordable seven-seater, with a starting price of just slightly over RM 54,000 for the cheapest automatic transmission variant.
