The smallest member of the growing Toyota Land Cruiser family is coming soon if solid reports by Japanese auto source Best Car Web, as well as separate trademark filings, are anything to go by. Fleetingly teased during last year’s press launch of the Land Cruiser 250 (also known as Prado in selected markets), the new Land Cruiser FJ – as per the latest trademark filings in Australia separately reported by Carsguide will become the newest member of the Land Cruiser family, in line with Toyota’s a

The Toyota Land Cruiser made its name being a tough-as-nails, go-anywhere premium 4x4 with the looks to back it up. Hot on the heels of the new global Land Cruiser 300 and the North American Land Cruiser 250 (Prado) could be a new third, more compact variant that’s being adorably dubbed the Land Hopper. Japanese site Best Car Web has dropped its own rendering of what the Land Hopper could be styled like and unsurprisingly, it appears to be very much like a mini Land Cruiser 250. That’s not a bad

Chery is making its Malaysian comeback very soon and it aims to launch its first two models, the Chery Omoda 5 and Chery Tiggo 8 Pro by the middle of 2023. These models will also be locally-assembled (CKD) in Malaysia right from the get-go. At a dinner event with the media, Vice President of Chery International and President for the ASEAN market, Shawn Xu, did not reveal any further information on where the plant is located nor who the local partners are. He has stated that CKD production is onl

Fans of the Fast franchise (yes, they exist) were devastated when Han; played by Sung Kang, purportedly died in the fiery wreck of his Veilside-kitted Mazda RX-7 in Tokyo Drift. Those frowns turned upside down when he returned from the dead in Fast 9 but seeing that his favourite car is a Toyota Sienna, some might be wishing he stayed dead. Although his character made a return in Fast 9 behind the wheel of a Toyota Supra that paid homage to his RX-7, in real life the man behind Han proudly decla

While Malaysians have to sit out from the highest range Pro versions of Geely models (looking at you Boyue Pro and Binyue Pro), it's a very different story for Chery and their imminent debut in Malaysia in Q3 2022. Chery will be debuting not one, but three Pro-badged models upon their return to Malaysia later this year, including the Chery Tiggo 4 Pro, Chery Tiggo 7 Pro, and Chery Tiggo 8 Pro. This is marks a very different strategy compared to their fellow countrymen Geely and their local partn
