Following its debut in 2018, sales of the current (G20) BMW 3 Series started in early-2019 followed by the facelift (LCI) which went on sale in 2023. The next generation 3 Series is expected in 2026 and will likely consist of full-electric (BEV) variants, alongside conventional powered ICE variants.

It's an appealing driver's car Significantly improved compared to the previous version But how does it compare to the Myvi?

Since its introduction in 2005, more than 1 million units of the Perodua Myvi rolled off the production floors. Proton is extremely late to the five-door hatchback game – I highlight five-door specifically because the national carmaker had a three-do
