If anyone were to ask yours truly on the favourite car of 2022, it would be the Kia Carnival. Expectations had to do with a part of it, but mostly it was because the Carnival is such a compelling product. Naturally, when the 2023 Kia Sorento was launched, I had expected great things from it based on prior experience with the Carnival.

Since the Proton-Geely partnership in 2017, we have witnessed two popular SUVs bearing the Proton badge - the Proton X70 and Proton X50. A third Geely-based model is due for 2021, and it is most likely the Proton X90, based on the Geely Haoyue, a 7-seater SUV.
