Malaysia’s first carmaker was only a decade old when Proton unveiled the Proton Satria in 1994. It was the company’s first 3-door hatchback and was marketed to younger buyers who wanted the next best thing to a Civic EG hatchback but on a budget. The Satria amassed a huge cult following that is still felt today. Naysayers might simply call it the 3-door Wira hatchback because of its similar looks to the heroic 4-door sedan and 5-door hatchback/Aeroback. But when Proton launched the Satria GTi fo

With prices of new cars increasing and demand also on the rise, plenty of hustlers are trying to make some profit by pricing their nearly-new purchases above the market price to get some willing buyers who will pay for anything just to get off a waiting list. Toyota Australia realises the existence of these price-gouging profiteers and is putting a stop to it for its most desirable model, the Toyota GR Corolla. The GR Corolla was just launched in Australia fairly recently and it is limited to ju

A few years back the Honda Jazz plied its trade alongside the City, catering to Malaysians who didn't quite fancy the analogous Toyota Yaris or Vios duo.

PT Honda Prospect Motor's (HPM) world premiere yesterday unveiled the Honda N7X Concept. But in a rather surprise twist, what's touted as the Honda BR-V's next-gen replacement may not be one at all! If not BR-V, then a 7-seater Honda HR-V? Although it looks like a direct successor to the BR-V, Honda maintains that the N7X previews a totally new model line, one that is positioned higher than the BR-V. Speaking to Autofun Indonesia, HPM's sales and marketing director, Yusak Billy says that it's "l

The Perodua Aruz has just been launched in Singapore, the first overseas market to receive the 7-seater SUV. The sole variant offered there is the entry-level 1.5 X; the 1.5 AV is not sold in Singapore. The Perodua Aruz is priced at SGD 92,999. Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer Dato’ Zainal Abidin Ahmad said, “The Aruz’s arrival in Singapore marks the first seven-seater offered by Perodua in the island nation.” “With nearly 58,000 units sold in Malaysia since its debut in 2019, the P
