Sold outside of Indonesia and Malaysia as the Toyota Wigo, the next destination for the twin to the second generation Perodua Axia/Toyota Agya/Daihatsu Ayla after Vietnam is not the Philippines but Cambodia. Launched alongside the Toyota Yaris Cross, the Cambodian-spec Toyota Wigo is only available with a single variant that is powered by the same naturally-aspirated 1.0-litre 3-cylinder engine from the Perodua Axia. The 68 PS/91 Nm engine is paired with a D-CVT automatic slushbox that drives th

As Malaysia’s No.1 selling car brand, it is easy to assume that Perodua is all about numbers, Ringgits and sense. While that is still true to a certain extent - because Perodua certainly didn’t become No.1 by pandering to frivolous demands - this one-dimensional view of Perodua as a giant monolith of an organization that only cares about achieving the highest sales numbers is wrong.

Following the debut of the Geely Binyue Cool and its new 1.5-litre 4-cylinder turbo petrol engine, Geely has fitted this new power unit into the Jiaji, creating the 2022 Geely Jiaji L in the process.

The upcoming D27A 2022 Perodua Alza and the Avanza-replacing Toyota Veloz will soon capture the sales crown away from the Mitsubishi Xpander, but that doesn’t mean that the Xpander will sit idle. At Mitsubishi Motors’ 53rd general meeting of shareholders last week, President and CEO Takao Kato shared that the company will introduce its first hybrid model for the ASEAN region next year, and that the model’s hybrid technology will be based on the company’s famed plug-in hybrid tech. The Mitsubishi

In a similar vein as the Suzuki Jimny, the Toyota Alphard can be considered the king of resale value, as prices of a used Alphard are higher than a brand-new one. You read that correctly – in China, prices of a three-year-old used Toyota Alphard are, on average, 17 percent higher than a brand-new unit.

If you have been looking at B-segment 7-seaters, previously your choice was either the Honda BR-V or a Toyota Rush/Perodua Aruz. However, in the past year, Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia has decided to spice things up in this market space with a truly unique offering, the Mitsubishi Xpander. A world away from the traditional SUV looks of its competitors, the Xpander is indeed a breath of fresh air in a segment that values function more than style. Having said that, does the Xpander have the substanc
