The 5th-generation Toyota Prius debuted in late 2022 featuring superb looks, new powertrains, and an updated TNGA platform that vastly improved handling - creating the most driver-focussed Prius ever, in contrast to the efficient runabouts all its predecessors were. That said, you wouldn't peg it to do a fast lap around a racing circuit, would you? That didn’t stop Top Gear UK from trying though, and by golly-gosh, did it look spectacular. In a recent review, they set out on the longest Uber rid

The Honda booth at the WapCar Auto Show in Pavilion Bukit Jalil is one of the most popular attractions at the event. Despite having to contend with a slew of newly launched / previewed models like the 2022 Mazda CX-8 (now with a 2.5-litre turbocharged engine), CKD 7-seater Kia Carnival, Kia EV6, CKD Mercedes-AMG A35 and GLA 35 – all making the first public debut at the event, Honda’s line-up remains the common man’s favourite. Families also love the children’s art activity area. Visitors who fil

If you have placed a booking for a new Honda vehicle recently, expect delays in deliveries, stemming from the global semiconductor shortage and ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Honda Malaysia has clarified the issue in a statement, and it can be read in full below: "Due to the global shortage of semiconductors and Covid-19 pandemic, there will be a delay in parts and distribution for new car production. This has resulted to disruption and inconsistent production output at our factory. "With this reduc

Whether it's in Malaysia or elsewhere, before the chin scratchers that are variants and colours come into play, there's a decision car buyers make - choosing a body style. Which brings me neatly to hatchbacks versus sedans. Not dissimilar to The Matrix's red and blue pills, both have their pros and cons which we'll weigh for you to help you find your next perfect car. Driving experience: Hatches aren't necessarily sportier With a raking roofline and stout proportions, hatchbacks generally look m

Singapore is set to be the first market in the ASEAN region to launch the all-new, fourth-generation Honda Jazz. When it is launched in Singapore later this month, three variants will be offered, namely the Jazz 1.5 Base, Jazz 1.5 Home, and Jazz 1.5 Luxe e:HEV. The 1.5 Base and 1.5 Home variants are powered by a naturally-aspirated 1.5-litre petrol engine that does 121 PS and 145 Nm, mated to a CVT-type automatic transmission – similar to the Malaysian-spec Honda City. As for the Jazz 1.5 Luxe e

Some are lamenting the fact that the 2021 Honda City Hatchback succeeds the Honda Jazz in our part of the world, while some have let the Mercedes-Benz A-Class-esque look grow on them. If you're part of the former - maybe the Modulo kit seen here will change your mind. Making its global debut in Thailand earlier this week, the City Hatchback revives a nameplate that was last seen in 1994. Modulo's treatment here isn't entirely dissimilar to the set on the four-door. Sure, the front lip and side s
