The 5th generation 2023 Toyota Prius has just made its global debut in Japan today. The highlight of this model is the addition of a new 2.0-litre variant, which is available either as a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) or a regular (full) hybrid. The PHEV variant makes 223 PS (combined system output) and is capable of sprinting from 0-100 km/h in a rather un-Prius-ly 6.7 seconds. Without plug-in charging capability, lesser variant 2.0-litre models produce a combined system output of 193 PS, which Toyota s

There’s a saying in the world of movies that goes something like, “Sequels aren’t as good as originals.” Some people call it the “Sequel Curse” and it’s a phrase I feel relevant to the 2022 Volkswagen Golf R Mk8.

We’re halfway through 2021 and though it felt like time has been moving quickly to some, others might think that the first half of the year felt like the entirety of 2020 (albeit worse, perhaps?). Despite the persistent lockdowns, the first half of 2021 did at least gave a us a few model launches, from the Toyota Corolla Cross to the all-new Isuzu D-Max. Still, we have 6 more months to go before 2020 2.0 2021 ends. Without further ado, here are some of the cars we think could be launched in the

It’s impressive how many modern cars today offer advanced safety features. It wasn’t that long ago that advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) suites were only offered on expensive, high-end cars. Now, even cars like the Perodua Axia offer ADAS and even some like the underrated Nissan Almera offer autonomous emergency brakes (AEB) as standard. These driving aids help enhance the vehicle’s safety, so much so that ASEAN NCAP has revised its methodology beginning from 2021. Also read: 2021 Perodu

We previously spotted them in a spyshot just a few days ago but now Mercedes-Benz Malaysia officially launched the 2019 Mercedes-Benz B-Class without much fan-fare.
