According to the latest wholesale data by Gaikindo, one of the D74A Perodua Axia’s Indonesian twins managed to achieve something its predecessor failed to do, reaching the top ten of Indonesia’s best-selling cars in March 2023. Then again, the all-new generation of the Toyota Agya/Daihatsu Ayla is an accomplished city car much like its Malaysian sibling. As such, 3,475 units of the Daihatsu Ayla and 2,349 units of the Toyota Agya were sold in the first month following its launch. That puts the A

Endurance racing is perhaps one of the toughest proving grounds for any car – ask Toyota, they'll know. But they prove instrumental in advancing technologies, more so when it comes to new forms of propulsion like hydrogen and synthetic, carbon neutral (CN) fuel. Toyota will be testing both out by participating in this weekend's (17- to 18-December 2022) 25-hour Idemitsu 1500 Super Endurance race at Chang International Circuit, Buriram, Thailand.

We can only say likely, as the trademark filing is not new. Proton filed the trademark for the logo back when the Iriz Active concept was introduced in 2014 to gauge how Malaysians would react

The Perodua Axia has the Axia Style, and it’s selling rather well. So it’s only natural to expect Proton to come up with a quasi-SUV, jacked up version of the Proton Iriz. Recall that back in 2014, Proton introduced the Proton Iriz Active Concept. Featuring SUV-style claddings and roof rails, plus a two-tone paint job, the jacked up Iriz rides 30 mm higher. There were reports that Proton will put the Iriz Active into production but things went quiet after that. For obvious reasons – Proton was a

Fitted with either Silverstone Kruizer NS800 or Goodyear Assurance Both tyres meet all of Proton’s performance requirements Kruizer NS800 has a longer lifespan, Assurance has a higher speed rating When the 2019 Proton Iriz facelift was launched in Malaysia, all variants except the entry-level 1.3 Executive (MT) (14-inch 175/65 R14) came equipped with 15-inch alloys shod in 185/55 R15 profile rubbers. Given the strong demand for the Iriz, the refreshed hatchback has very quickly found its way to
