A new and improved 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 has been announced today. Long range variants will now get bigger 84 kWh battery, up from the previous model’s 77.4 kWh (Malaysian market models get a different 72.6 kWh unit).

Width (1,890 mm) and height (1,605 mm) remain unchanged, as is its 3,000 mm wheelbase. The rear spoiler has been extended further back by 50 mm. This, along wi

Mercedes-Benz has become the first car manufacturer worldwide to secure permits for special exterior marker lights dedicated to automated driving in California and Nevada.

The humble Perodua Bezza is a successful little sedan that moved many Malaysians ever since it was first introduced in 2016 as P2’s first-ever three-box-shaped car.

With the launch of the 2023 Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 4Matic+ in Malaysia earlier today, that's one more competitor in the EV space. However at RM 649,888, it's significantly more expensive than a regular Mercedes-Benz EQE 350+ which starts from RM 419,888. What exactly then are you getting for so much extra dosh? We explore...

In what some people might think as a “pro-gamer move”, Honda has launched the all-new 2021 Honda Civic in a Twitch livestream. Based on what we’ve seen so far, it looks lit and Civic stans are definitely looking forward to the arrival of the hotter Civic Type R.

Exterior – Goodbye ‘ketam’ lights To put it in terms that the Gen-Z might understand, the controversial crab-claw (ketam) taillights have been

Last week, our driving instructor colleague Jason shared his thoughts on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), that driver assistance features are as its name implies, merely an assistive feature. It is not a be-all and end-all for car safety, because ultimately it is the behaviour of the idiot behind the wheel that matters the most.
