Surprising as it may sound, but UMW Toyota Motor, the official distributor of Toyota vehicles in Malaysia has quietly removed the Toyota Alphard from its website. The Alphard's sibling mode, the Vellfire has also been axed. UMWT began offering local specifications version of the Toyota Alphard since 2014 with the AH20-generation model. Subsequently in 2016, UMWT launched the then-new AH30-generation Alphard and Vellfire duo. Now, roughly 7 years later and both luxury MPVs have been removed from

On Tuesday, Honda Malaysia launched the 2022 Honda Civic e:HEV RS. The locally-assembled, top of the Civic range e:HEV RS hybrid variant is priced at RM 166,500.

To say the design was polarising was selling it short. Nonetheless, other carmakers caught on to this SUV-coupe template, and this segment has now become more commonplace. As for the

After driving for nearly 3,000 kilometres, I would like to share my feelings about Toyota Corolla Cross, top model, Hybrid Premium Safety, Sport, and compare it with the original car. Before Seeing the Real Car When I first saw the picture of it, I began to smile, and I thought that the front was boldly designed. It was a brave decision that the production of this car was approved. As for the rear of the car, it was beautiful, perfect. The old design team must have left, because the latest desig

Last week, my colleague Jason talked about rally nobility. This week, let me one-up him and show you a 1994 Toyota Corolla that’s rarer than most supercars, including the $38 million Ferrari 250 GTO. Yes, it's as pictured. No, I'm not making it up. Most of you know that the Corolla has been a household name for decades with a legacy that started way back in 1966. With the 2020 Toyota Corolla Cross, they’re trying new things but along its 54 year history, it's only right the Japanese engineers bl
