The EV world is characterized by ‘software-defined cars’ – vehicles that rely on software (as opposed to differentiated mechanical hardware) to deliver unique user experience. Such cars are also capable of adding new functions over time, thanks to over-the-air (OTA) software updates. Tesla epitomizes software-defined vehicles. Unlike other EVs, Tesla’s software updates improve not just the infotainment, but also the car’s driving capabilities. The Full Self-Driving (FSD) upgrade is one such exam

The range topping Premium X model is priced at RM 122,800. Barely two years on the market, it’s still too early to gauge the resale value of a Proton X70. Yes there are quite a number of units listed on used car classifieds, but it’s still too smal

MG exited Malaysia a couple of years ago and talks of the iconic British marque returning to Malaysia isn’t new, as MG’s parent company, SAIC Motor Corp Ltd, has been in talks with various parties to re-introduce the brand here over the past couple of years.
