Since 2009, all new Toyota hybrid models launched after the third generation Toyota Prius wear the blue tinted Toyota logo. The blue outlines on the Toyota emblem is the most obvious differentiator for hybrid variants of Toyota models. That and the trio of wave-pattern Hybrid logos on the boot lid and front fenders (fitted since second generation Prius, 2003) is visual identifiers of Toyota hybrid models. At yesterday’s launch of the 2023 Toyota Innova Zenix in Indonesia however, the show car wa

Revised front and rear bumpers Updated Nissan Serena range now gains ADAS features Larger 9-inch infotainment system Edaran Tan Chong Motors (ETCM), the official distributor of Nissan vehicles in Malaysia, has officially launched the new 2022 Nissan Serena S-Hybrid facelift here. As before, the MPV is locally-assembled (CKD) at ETCM’s facility in Serendah. Prices of the 2022 Nissan Serena facelift have crept up a bit, with the Highway Star starting from RM 149,888, while the Premium Highway Star

You can get these 7-seaters for less than RM100k For most of us, the ‘endgame’ 7-seater is the Toyota Alphard (or Toyota Vellfire), but at around RM450k, this big MPV is out of reach for most Malaysians. In fact, this is the price of mid-level property, and it makes much more sense to spend your hard earned cash in an asset instead. So can you get a 7-seater for less than RM100k? In short, yes, you can. Here are 5 examples of excellent 7-seaters for your family for under RM100k. Honda BR-V – an

The Nissan Serena has been a mainstay of the Malaysian motoring scene since the mid-90s. Big on value, even bigger on space – the Serena offered a value-for-money alternative to 7-seater SUVs, which are often harder to get in / out of. The Serena, like its rivals took advantage of a growing demand locally for more stylish and comfortable large family movers that were not utilitarian vans. It was well designed and very reliable, but for the most part, the first two generations of the Serena, the

Back in October, the updated Toyota Innova was given its world debut in Indonesia. Over in the archipelago, the Innova is given two names, the standard Kijang Innova and the sporty Venturer. Meanwhile, closer to home, the new Innova is expected to arrive in Malaysia in 2021. However, according to a trademark filed at the Malaysian Intellectual Property Office (MyIPO), it seems there could be a luxury variant of the Innova looming called the Innova Zenix. The name was trademarked on 4-December 20

If you are looking for a people mover, few other MPVs can do a better job than the Nissan Serena. Actually that’s incorrect. There’s no other MPV that can do what the Serena does. What are the alternatives? Seven-seater SUVs? Have you tried climbing into the third row of one of those? Now imagine doing it every day/week. The Toyota Innova (from RM 115,280) also suffers from the problem too. The Kia Carnival (RM 179,888) is very spacious but the 11-seater is a bit of an overkill. It’s also wider
