In response to the burgeoning demand in the used car market, Honda Malaysia is expanding their Honda Certified Used Car (HCUC) network, setting up an additional 32 sales hubs nationwide. This significant expansion aims to meet the increasing number of customers seeking pre-owned Honda vehicles or looking to trade in their current ones. HCUC services are available in the company's showrooms across the country since 2022. Vehicles under the HCUC banner have been given a comprehensive 288-point ins

This morning, our review of the Thailand-market 2022 Honda HR-V went live (it’s here, if you haven’t seen it). Shortly after that we nipped down to Maxcom Motor in Bangsar to check out what we’ll actually be getting – the Malaysian-spec Honda HR-V in 1.5 V form. Photos are still a no-no, so we'll use photos of the cars available in Thailand and Indonesia to illustrate.

The tax exemption applies only to battery electric vehicles (BEVs) like a Nissan Leaf, MINI Electric, BMW iX, or a Tesla. Regular hybrid electric (HEV) models like a Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid or plug-in electric models like a BMW 330e don’t qualify. As ex

Despite the ongoing pandemic, development work for the next-generation 2022 Toyota Avanza is well underway, ahead of its Indonesian debut in early November. Said model, according to Indra Fathan’s Instagram post, is currently in pre-production phase. Between three to five pre-production prototypes have been assembled in Indonesia and sent to Japan for evaluation purposes. This in turn has dropped more crumbs of information, as a shipping website revealed codes such as W100 and W101. The differen

With at least five models confirmed to be launched in October, and another five more that are also very likely to join the growing list, October is definitely the busiest month of this year. That’s a nice problem to have considering the slump that the industry is in. Cumulative new vehicle sales in Malaysia for the first half of 2020 was down by over 40 percent compared to the same six-month period last year.
