Updated CN-spec Corolla gets torsion beam suspension on 1.5-litre petrol variants Multi-link suspension maintained on hybrid and turbo variants Hybrid gets latest 5th-gen THS II The current 12th-gen Toyota Corolla Altis has been around since 2019 and thus, it has been given an update in China. Minor facelift aside, the world’s best-selling sedan has also undergone some changes underneath. In China, the Toyota Corolla is sold by FAW Toyota, one of two joint ventures in the world’s biggest car mar

This is the new Geely Binrui Cool. With a name like that, you'll expect additional flair and more power, and joy of joys, they're all present. And it also wants to chomp at the Honda Civic. Spun from the carmaker's B-Segment Modular Architecture (BMA) platform – like the one our Proton X50 sits on – the Binrui Cool sports aggressive styling (termed 'Racing Storm') that's aimed at luring those who grew up on Need For Speed to sign the dotted lines. In some angles it looks a bit like its cousin, t

The Toyota Corolla has been in production for more than 50 years with 12 generations in tow. A few months ago, it even achieved a new, possibly unbeaten milestone by producing the 50 millionth unit which supplanted the Corolla as the world’s most popular car.

With a budget of just over RM 100k, you can drive home a brand new, range-topping Honda City RS (RM 105,950).

For this comparison, we will look at the major aspects that you - the shopper - will consider. Be it practicality, driving experience, maintenance costs and the likes, we attempt to break down how each car fares. Let's

Hyundai-Sime Darby Motor has just previewed the all-new, seventh-generation 2021 Hyundai Elantra in Malaysia. HSDM has yet to announce prices of the new model, only mentioning that it will be priced from RM 1xx,888. Bookings are opened, and those interested can place a booking fee of RM 777 for one. What do I need to know? The Hyundai Elantra is a C-segment sedan that competes against the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla Altis, but being imported from Korea (Ulsan plant), it will inevitably be pri

Let’s face it, the Mazda 3 is not for everybody. If you are going to compare it against its segment rivals like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla Altis, then it means that you can’t afford it, because the Mazda 3 will never make sense if one is to compare it that way. The Mazda 3 is at least RM 20,000 more expensive than an equivalent Honda Civic or a Toyota Corolla Altis. In what universe will this constitute as a recommended buy? There’s no logic to purchasing a Mazda 3. Actually, apart from
