You may have seen photos of the Toyota GR86’s fuel door that says “Premium Unleaded 98RON Fuel Only” circling on social media, catching the attention of even owners of the first generation Toyobaru 86/BRZ (let’s call it first-gen from here onwards).

Hot off the launch floor is the new 2022 Honda Civic e:HEV RS, Honda Malaysia’s newest addition to their growing line-up of electrified models. Priced at RM 166,500 (on-the-road, without insurance), the electrified Civic e:HEV RS costs RM 15,700 more than the previous flag bearer, the turbocharged Civic RS (RM 150,700). So, what does the additional RM 15,800 net you? Powertrain – Hybrid that outperforms turbo Right off the bat, the biggest change is in the powertrain department. Instead of a tur

Mercedes-Benz has pulled the covers off the facelifted W177 hatchback and V177 sedan Mercedes-Benz A-Class. Roughly 4 years after its debut in 2018, the facelifted A-Class now ups the ante for both the sedan and hatchback versions with subtle styling tweaks, improved technology features and crucially, electrification across its entire petrol engine range.

The front bumper also appears to be taken from the M8 albeit with some touch-ups. And voila. A subjectively better looking 4 Series, but also gen

Proton recently announced its sales performance for Q1 2020 and despite Malaysia going into a nationwide Movement Control Order (MCO) in March, the national carmaker still managed to shift 21,757 units. An improvement of 20.4% compared to the same period in 2019. All Proton’s core models saw an increase in sales between 17 to 602% - the latter for the Proton Iriz. While the Proton X70 saw a decline of 48% in sales (attributed to the transition to the locally-assembled (CKD) model and MCO), it st
