Contrary to earlier speculations, Perodua is skipping the development of hybrids to go fully electric, and this Perodua Myvi-based emo-1 concept is a preview of what’s to come in the sub-RM 100k battery electric vehicles (BEVs) segment. Like the current generation Myvi (and Bezza), the emo-1 concept is an effort by Perodua, not its technical partner Daihatsu. It is not based on any existing project by Daihatsu, which doesn’t have any BEV model that’s not a kei minivehicle. Instead, the Perodua e

These models are still highly regarded and missed by Malaysians. From the popular Nissan Sunny to the infamous Proton Satria. How many of them do you recognise? The Honda City Hatchback’s recent launching marked the end of the Jazz in Malaysia. Malaysia's favourite tall hatchback follows the line of countless other models that were once regaled among Malaysians. There are numerous factors for these models’ eventual exit or demise even though they were very popular. We’ll take a look at a few of

Like what you see? This is the fire-breathing, carbon-fibre-clad 2021 McLaren 765LT, unveiled today at McLaren Kuala Lumpur. Let's get right down to it because this is as no-nonsense as it gets.

Separating the regular Mazda 3 from the edition100 is the addition of the Mazdaspeed bodykit, which is finished in Soul Red for the Snowflake White Pearl and Jet Black Mazda 3 models, while Soul Red Crystal Mazda 3 units receive Gloss Black

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has skipped the “regular” Mercedes-AMG A45 and gave us the range-topping A45 S version in Edition 1 outfit. It’s yours for RM 459,888. The A45 S also comes with the Night Package which means most of the trim pieces are blacked out, such as the side mirrors, exhaust tips, bumper surrounds, etc. There’s also the aggressive Panamericana front grille with vertical slats and quad exhaust tips. And the Edition 1 package adds a larger front splitter, larger spoiler and a more pro

At the rate that things are progressing in many parts of the world, where governments are waging wars against high CO2 emissions cars and speeding, it’s inevitable that car buyers will soon trend towards lifestyle cars that are packed with the latest infotainment, powered by the smallest available engine. We have already seen this in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan, where 180 series engines are the norm for Mercedes-Benz A-Class and C-Class models. Here in Malaysia, the lowest available engine t
