Normally when it comes to launches, Perodua would take a back seat compared to its Indo or Japanese twins from Toyota and Daihatsu. However, in the case of the next-generation 2023 D74A Perodua Axia, it could be launched ahead of its Indonesian twins, the Toyota Agya and Daihatsu Ayla. Bookings and estimated prices of the all-new Axia have been announced but over in the archipelago, our Indo colleagues from AutoFun ID have received an invitation from Toyota for the launch of a new model on 13-Fe

However, things are turning on the up for the Sirion recently. According to data gathered by Autonetmagz, Daihatsu sold mor

It looks like the Isuzu D-Max is not at risk of being upstaged by its sister-car the Mazda BT-50, as the D-Max will be launched in Malaysia ahead of the BT-50.

In Australia, the first export market for the all-new D-Max, Mazda Australia had intentionally delayed the launch of the BT-50 there by one month, a

It has been 35 years since the debut of the Proton Saga to the world. It was Proton’s first car and the name still stands today. Back in November 2020, an image of a stitched “R3 limited edition” logo was leaked hinting it a possible R3 car – either the Proton Iriz R3 or the Proton Saga R3. In celebration of 35 years of the Proton Saga, there was a limited run of the Proton Saga Anniversary Edition. The response was overwhelming as all 1,100 units of the car were sold out in 5 days.
