Right after the 2023 Honda City sedan underwent its facelift (launched last week), photos of the 2023 Honda City Hatchback facelift undergoing tests in Thailand have since circulated, courtesy of auto sites Ridebuster and Car2day. The breadth of updates should follow very closely as its sedan sibling; that's to say redesigned front- and rear bumpers, and new wheels as well. In case you've missed that – have a look at the sedan pics below, the look now is a touch more elegant compared to the spor

This is not the result of some independent garage’s modification, but a genuine new car that is sold in Japan. Yes, it’s a Daihatsu Rocky (Perodua Ativa to us) with a Subaru badge. Subaru as you may have already know, is an independent manufacturer (formerly known as Fuji Heavy Industries, now Subaru Corporation) but has friendly ties with Toyota, who also owns Daihatsu. With the discontinuation of the cheaper 1.6-litre Subaru XV (now known as the Crosstrek, only available in Japan with a 2.0-li

Malaysia to debut all-new 2022 Honda HR-V soon HR-V e:HEV will square off against the Corolla Cross Hybrid How much will the HR-V e:HEV cost in Malaysia? When the all-new 2022 Honda HR-V arrives in Malaysia later this year, it will likely bring with it not one, not two, but three powertrains – all brand-new powertrains on the HR-V.

2022 Toyota Veloz to replace Avanza in Malaysia To be locally-assembled (CKD) alongside 2022 Perodua Alza Unlike Rush-Aruz, the Avanza’s successor (Veloz) will be quite different from the D27A 2022 Perodua Alza The Toyota Avanza is not going away at all, despite the impression given by UMW Toyota Motor’s (UMWT) contract manufacturer Perodua at a recent press conference, which we have to emphasize, was done with good reasons to protect UMWT’s confidentiality, more on that later. During last week’

The Toyota Raize (and its twin, the Daihatsu Rocky) has been making waves in Indonesia. Certainly, the Perodua Ativa’s Indonesian cousins have more variants too including a 1.2-litre variant with a 6-speed manual transmission as well as a dressed-up GR Sport (GR-S) variant. PT Toyota Astra Motor (TAM) has received over 1,269 bookings during the first week of its launch in the country. The most popular variant is the GR-S variant but there is a snag for those wanting the kitted-out Raize. Also re

The VW Polo is no more in Malaysia. The Polo was the oldest model in Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia’s (VPCM) line-up and while many markets have already moved on to the MQB platform Mk6 generation Polo, Volkswagen’s Pekan plant in Pahang was still assembling the Mk5 Polo until this year. Checks with Volkswagen’s website in Malaysia showed that the model has since been removed. The Polo’s sister car, the Vento sedan however, is still on sale. VPCM have yet to confirm if the new Polo Mk6 will
