Since the third-generation Isuzu D-Max made its world debut in Thailand back in 2019, the pick-up truck has been topping the Kingdom’s best-selling chart which it took over from the Toyota Hilux. 4 years later, the D-Max has been given a more aggressive facelift with some improvements on the safety front. In Thailand, the updated D-Max is available with around 30 variants across 5 distinct body styles which are priced between THB 540,000 to THB 1,264,000 (~RM 69k-161k). This is clearly the most

Dealers have announced that bookings for the locally-assembled (CKD Kulim) 2023 Kia Carnival 11-seater are now open, signalling that the model's official launch should be happening sometime soon. Some of them have even given it a preliminary estimated pricetag of RM 218,000; and while that is slightly higher than the RM 200k the fully-imported variants of the 11-seater Carnival currently commands, this could spell a specs update too to bring it better in-line with the CKD 7- and 8-seater variant

After teasing the imminent arrival of the next-generation 2022 Ford Ranger, Ford Thailand have now confirmed that plans are in motion to launch the new pickup within the first quarter of next year. Wichit Wongwattanakarn, Managing Director of Ford Thailand has revealed that the company is gearing up to replace the existing model next year, and expects the next-generation Ford Ranger to cash in on the exponential growth of the Thai pickup truck market. The current T6 Ford Ranger was first introdu

Malaysians' hype for the Proton X50 started even way before its launch, and even with upstarts like the Perodua Ativa coming into the fold, interest in the model still holds strong. Which probably explains why it was a cinch to collect nearly 30 cars for a gathering, organised by the Proton X50 Senior Kakis group. It was a good, laid-back afternoon at MyTown Cheras with the owners as they shared their ownership experience with us, and we enjoyed seeing how no two X50s were the same. But...what d

The Proton X50 and Perodua D55L are probably 2020’s most talked-about cars in Malaysia. Though both SUVs have yet made their debut, the comparisons between the 2 cars have started since sightings of the Daihatsu Rocky/ Toyota Raize (Perodua D55L in Japan) started surfacing during the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show. But how do the 2 SUVs compare in size? Here’s a quick size comparison. While there is much talk about the two being the strongest “competitors” in the B-segment SUV market, the 2 cars’ sizes v

When the 2020 Mercedes-AMG A35 4Matic (RM 366,785 OTR 0% SST) was launched it only had one competitor and it is the out-going and no-less fun Volkswagen Golf R. We all know that with the dated features the Golf had to offer, it doesn’t come close to the A35. But come July, with the arrival of F40 2020 BMW M135i (RM 355,646 OTR 0% SST) to our shores, the A35 now has a worthy competitor. So, how do these hot hatches compare in terms of specs? Exterior There is no denying that the BMW M135i cuts th
