Oxymoron, best described as a self-contradicting group of words like: a lot less, alone together, original copy, and some might say in this instance, fun SUV. “Enthusiasts” will tell you SUVs are not meant to be fun, at least not in the traditional sense of driving engagement. They provide increased ground clearance for greater off-roading capability but its higher centre of gravity gives them an inherent disadvantage through corners. While this writer agrees to a certain extent, the automotive

The Hyundai Kona is a decent piece of kit for the B-segment but it’s not quite friendly on the wallet here in Malaysia. This is where the Hyundai Creta slots in below it to potentially boost the South Korean carmaker’s sales on our shores. Hyundai calls it their Asian strategy model. A quick look in the dictionary of “marketing fluff” defines that as a model targeted at emerging markets; much like Southeast Asia. It shares its platform with its corporate cousin, the Kia Seltos. Being a 5-seater,

Just yesterday, we reported that the all-new 2022 Honda HR-V was spotted testing on Malaysian roads, now more photos have surfaced online and they come accompanied with videos as well. Posted on the Proton X50 Community Malaysia Facebook group, the camo-covered HR-V was seen prowling around the MRR2 and even going through a toll.

Mazda will be launching several new SUVs beginning 2022, and just last week the Mazda CX-50 started production in North America. Now, Japanese media have taken a shot and rendered the Mazda CX-80, an upcoming model that’s a little bit more relevant to us Malaysians. One of the five new SUVs announced – alongside the CX-50, CX-60, CX-70, and CX-90 – the CX-80 will be sold in Japan and Europe, which gives it a good chance of appearing here, considering some of our Mazda models are imported from Ja

Say you wanted to get the Toyota GR Yaris on a discount but alas, it's nearly out of stock. Fret not, at least JW Bodykits Accessories is here to pepper some GR-ness into Malaysia's everyday hero, the Perodua Myvi. Just one photo was enough to set our Facebook page's comments section ablaze, and now we've got photos of the front bumper on an actual Myvi. Honestly - it does look quite good! The aggressive grille (complete with 'Functional Matrix' design), slats, and moulded canards complement the

Is the upcoming Perodua D55L an A-segment or B-segment SUV. Is it even in the same segment as the Proton X50? The short answer is yes. Both the Proton X50 and the yet-to-be-named Perodua D55L are B-segment SUVs although many will insist that the latter sits in the A-segment, but they are not entirely wrong. Wait, what? We will explain more on that later. What is this ABC-format vehicle segment? Before we go further, we need to establish a few things. The Euro-style ABCD vehicle segmentation is c
