The Mitsubishi Xforce is quite possibly one of the most exciting (Xciting?) SUVs to be launched in recent years. Competing directly against the likes of the Honda HR-V and the Proton X50, the Xforce looks like a winner with a proper SUV design and a host of drive modes similar to a modern off-roader. Despite having a ground clearance similar to the all-new 2024 Mitsubishi Triton at 222 mm, the Xforce is still a two-wheel drive soft-roader. Sitting on a shortened platform of the front-wheel drive

Following our review of the range-topping 2023 Kia Sorento recently, we were left wanting, perhaps of a bit more panache should we say, possibly because it offers the same powertrain found in the oh-so-good Kia Grand Carnival, thus expectations were justifiably high. For the most part, the Sorento 2.2D offers a nicely designed and well-balanced overall package, and comes packed with goodies and features (though at a cost), but lacked the driving composure that the Carnival so beautifully deliver

The locally assembled (CKD) QM4 generation 2023 Kia Sorento has been launched in Malaysia with a starting price of RM 211k.

Globally, there are two more electrified powertrains, both 1.6-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol – a regular full-hybrid and a plug-in hybrid, both paired to a 6-speed automatic tr

So, another year older, another year marked with interesting (or forgettable) cars, and we'll be doing it all over again next year. SUVs will undoubtedly continue to play a greater focus here, so in this article – part one of three – we'll look at the possible non-luxury, non-EV SUVs that are very likely to launch in Malaysia in 2023. Hang on to your downpayments, we're going straight in... 2023 Chery Omoda 5 We'll start off with a bang, perhaps the most awaited-for model in this list. It's alre

Kia Corporation has been having a very active year so far. Not only have they been busy pushing the introduction and new concept across the world but they have also been giving their entire SUV line-up a major shake-up. While the brand is hugely popular in the overseas market, sales in Malaysia can only be described as lacklustre despite its following of loyal fans. But now that Kia has a new distributor, things might be looking up. As Dinamikjaya, a new subsidiary under Bermaz, sorts out the af

Following our earlier report that there are no more 2020 manufacturing year Kia Sorento and Kia Sportage models, Naza Kia Malaysia have reached out to us with a clarification on the matter. The company says the halt in sales is only temporary. The current situation - no 2020 models of Kia Sorento and Sportage - is due to a supply disruption affecting these two models but the company is unable to divulge further regarding the specifics behind the supply disruption. A company spokesperson says Naz
