Today is the 10th anniversary of one of Proton’s most unfulfilled models of its 40 years of existence, the Proton Suprima S. Alongside the Proton Preve, both were billed as P1’s “global” models with some design input from Italian design house Italdesign Giugiaro but underdelivered with the Suprima S only sold for 6 years. But there were plenty of high hopes when the Suprima S was unveiled on 17-August 2013 at the MATRADE Exhibition and Convention Centre (MECC). Spyshots of the hatchback which wa

The most expensive, range-topping variant Has less features than the cheaper Luxury variant Ride not as plush as expected from a Lexus People say “Just be yourself” which essentially means staying true to your own identity or character, to act naturally rather than pretending to be different in order to gain approval.

Alongside the facelifted Cooper S range, MINI Malaysia has launched the facelifted 2021 MINI Electric, also known as the MINI Cooper SE. It comes fully imported (CBU) from UK, priced at RM 217,470 (OTR without insurance, with SST discount and extended warranty/service package). The pre-facelift model was sold at RM 218,380, hence a price drop of just under RM 1k. Unlike the petrol-powered MINIs, the front grille does not extend to bottom edge of the new front bumper. But the fog lights are repla

Sporty-looking hatchbacks by Proton include the Proton Satria, Proton Satria Neo, and the Proton Suprima S. While there might be no plans for a successor to the Proton Suprima S soon, photo chopper Theophilus Chin has decided to use the Proton X50’s front end to imagine one. While Theophilus has called it the Proton H50, the result is very reminiscent of the Proton Suprima S. Instead of looking like a totally new car, the rendering looks like a well-done evolution of the turbocharged hatchback.

2021 Kia Stinger facelift officially makes its global debut after the unveiling earlier last month! The new Stinger will come with a new 2.5-litre turbocharged engine, new larger infotainment and plenty of new ADAS features. Other than its sleeker new looks, Kia has also further refined the engines that powered the Stinger. The performance sedan will still be powered by an updated Lambda 3.3-litre T-GDi (turbocharged gasoline direct injection) V6 engine and Theta 2.0-litre turbocharged engine. K

Launched in April this year with an estimated price of RM 279,900, BMW Group Malaysia have now confirmed that the all-electric i3S will be priced at RM 278,800 excluding insurance. The model will be sold by selected BMW dealerships, specifically the ones that carry the BMW i branding. To recap, the i3S is the highest specification variant of BMW’s i3 range. The four-seater hatchback is powered by a 184 hp/270 Nm electric motor - that’s 14 hp/20 Nm more than the standard i3 (not sold here). The s
