BMW Group Malaysia delivered 15,012 units of BMW and MINI vehicles, including BMW Motorrad motorcycles. The figure is 3.8 percent higher than 2022. The group also ended the year as Malaysia’s No.1 premium automaker, for the fourth consecutive year. One third of the sales are financed by BMW Financial Services. Of the 15,000 total units delivered, the group’s namesake BMW brand contributed 11,699 cars, which is slightly lower than last year’s 11,800 units. MINI showed an impressive 42 percent gro

Earlier this month, Proton gave its first-ever SUV, the 2022 Proton X70, its mid-life update. Yes, mid-life update, as the Proton X70 has been on sale in Malaysia for almost 4 years. Since its debut in Malaysia back in 2018, the Proton X70 has proven to be a very popular model for the Malaysian Tiger, with 8,500 units delivered within the first 100 days of its launch. To-date, there are more than 70,000 units of the Proton X70 roaming the streets, with some exported too. Now, with the new downsi

From the day it was launched, it's not exaggeration to say that the Proton X50 has been a runaway hit at the showrooms.

Merely weeks after its global debut in Japan, the all-new 2021 Honda HR-V has been spotted in Thailand. As seen on social media sites, this particular Honda HR-V was spotted somewhere in the vicinity of Ayutthaya, Thailand – the same area where Honda Thailand has a production facility. Despite its heavy camouflage, it is clearly the all-new Honda HR-V, as the design cues pretty much mirror that of the camouflaged units first seen in Japan.

The answer is sedan. Surprised? Well, let us explain by taking the Volkswagen Passat and Volkswagen Tiguan as examples. The Passat is chosen here because the Jetta is no longer on sale in Malaysia, and both the Passat and Tiguan are based on the MQB platform. Why aren't SUVs as comfortable? SUVs, like the Volkswagen Tiguan, have higher centre of gravity. Which means the driver as well as the passengers are seated further away from the pivot point of the car. The high seating position means that

With the launch of the locally-assembled (CKD) Proton X70 nearing, more information regarding the new model are surfacing. Thanks to the latest Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) production data, it appears that Proton will be introducing a new X70 Premium X 2WD variant as the range-topping variant. As it is, the current imported X70 Premium 2WD is loaded to the brim, so it will be interesting to see what Proton can cramp into the new X70 Premium X 2WD variant. For comparison, these are the
