This particular Hyundai i30N is a 2020 unit with 6,197 km on the clock and is described as “nearly new,” priced at RM 248,800. This could be an ex-demonstration unit, which we have listed the pros and cons of buying one here. Also read: Should you buy an ex-demo or ex-company car? To recap, the H

After units of it had been spied, Toyota has officially unveiled the all-new generation of the Toyota Prius C which is also called the Aqua in Japan. The second-generation 2021 Toyota Prius C follows up its popular predecessor which sold more than 1.87 million units with a practical hatchback design.
