For anything that is not a Toyota Hilux, making inroads in the pick-up truck segment is an uphill battle. Point at any random truck, and the responses will invariably be, "Oh, look at that Hailak." But, if any pick-up can change that this perception, it's the 2021 Isuzu D-Max 3.0 X-Terrain, the flagship of the range. So, is the all-new D-Max good enough to have people ditching the Hailak moniker and turn the segment on its head? Can it really out-truck the usual suspects like the Toyota Hilux Ro

The new 2022 Proton Persona and Proton Iriz has been many updates, including 200 new parts, 32 quality improvements, and 6 performance improvements, but ADAS (Advanced Driving Assistance System) is not one of them. Proton’s B-segment duo still don’t have an answer to the Perodua Myvi’s Advanced Safety Assist (ASA), something that’s unavoidable given that it’s still running on the same ageing platform that was never meant to support ADAS hardware. Modifying it to accept ADAS hardware is possible

The 2021 Suzuki Swift Sport has been introduced in Singapore, roughly two months after the hot hatch was launched in Malaysia. Singapore is the first country in the ASEAN region to receive the Swift Sport with a 48V mild-hybrid (MHEV) system.

As someone who enjoys the process of driving very much, one of the features that interact with the driver is the instrument cluster. Pointing out the obvious, instrument clusters have evolved so much that they are now more than just a collection of fonts and needles. So why did such a change happen? Was there something wrong with the existing layout and design, or is it just change for change’s sake? As the old adage goes, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", right? Analogue Dials in the instrumen

The third-generation Perodua Myvi was introduced back in 2017. The model competes against the Proton Iriz in the B-segment hatchback market. Let’s take a closer look and see how much owners of the Perodua Myvi are expected to pay in terms of maintenance and insurance cost over a 5-year/100,000 km period. Owners of the Perodua Myvi (both the 1.3 and 1.5 variants) need to fork out RM 177,70 for the first service, performed at the 10,000 km mark. Similar to other Perodua models, the automatic varia
