Yesterday, UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) introduced the 2024 Toyota Yaris G Limited in Malaysia, a (600 unit) limited-run variant of its popular B-Segment hatchback, priced at RM 99,600. For the price premium, the 2024 Yaris G Limited adds an aero kit and aesthetic updates, handling upgrades (body braces and stiffer shocks), and notably a cold air intake system that boosts power. The latter of which, is quite uncommon. What does a cold air intake do? Well to understand, let’s get back to basics. Any p

Once again, the battle between Honda and Toyota in Thailand intensifies as both Japanese giants duke it out to see who takes the top spot in the monthly sales. For the B-segment hatchback market, it’s the Toyota Yaris that is triumphant over the Honda City Hatchback in May 2022. As a matter of fact, the Yaris is dominating the B-segment hatchback market in 2022 so far, taking the title in the first 5 months of the year.

The Proton Iriz might be an aging model, having been launched 7 years ago with a refresh in 2019. Before the launch of a mid-lifecycle update which includes a jacked-up Iriz Active variant, Proton could be launching a special edition of the Iriz which we call the 2021 Proton Iriz R3 Edition. Based on these spyshots shared by our friends at Careta on their Facebook page, we see a car transporter loaded up with a few units of the Iriz R3 Edition. Could this mean that this special edition Iriz be a

We might not be seeing the good old Honda Jazz in Malaysia anymore come next year. In 2019, the name “City Hatchback” popped up, indicating a new Honda to arrive in Malaysia soon. With such an obvious name as the Honda City Hatchback, the car is derived from one of the most popular B-segment saloons in Malaysia. Q: So, what about the Honda Jazz then? A: The Honda Jazz will likely be replaced by the City Hatchback in Malaysia. It will still be available for the European and Japanese markets. The

If the Perodua Myvi GT that was showcased at the 2018 Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show isn’t sporty enough for you, perhaps this GR Myvi would suffice? This particular GR Myvi is the creation of The Ajerul, who has rendered a fair number of aggressive-looking Protons and Peroduas in the past. To be clear, this is just an artist's imagination.
