After what seemed like an eternity, UMW Toyota Motor has finally launched the new 2022 Toyota Veloz in Malaysia. The new 7-seater B-segment MPV will supersede the Toyota Avanza as a more feature-packed model. And feature-packed the Veloz certainly is. Priced at RM 95,000, the Veloz is the first Toyota model at its price point to offer tilt and telescopic steering adjustment – a surprisingly important feature that not many people talk about. Telescopic steering is a must-have in 2022 Telescopic s

While we anticipate for the launch of the 2022 Perodua Alza, its sister-model, the 2022 Toyota Veloz has been spotted once again. Wait, how do you know it’s the Veloz instead of Alza? Well, if you look closely at the sides of the rear bumper (apologies for the poor-quality images), the triangular trim pieces with reflectors sliced across point towards the 2022 Toyota Veloz. And historically, Perodua rarely puts its pre-launched models out on the road, driven with minimal camouflage. So it is unl

Feast your eyes on this! UMW Toyota has uploaded an interior photo of the all-new 2022 Toyota Veloz’s cabin, giving us a good look at the new premium cabin. From what we can see, the Perodua Alza’s sister model will feature mixed leather and fabric seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a 9-inch infotainment screen, and blue ambient lighting. Other than that, it looks like there will be carbon fibre prints scattered across the door handle for a sporty look. Alongside the photo of the Veloz’s c

The 7-seater / MPV segment in Malaysia hasn’t seen much action over the past couple of years. The Proton Exora and Perodua Alza are the longest-serving models here (and still are), while models like Nissan Grand Livina and Proton Ertiga have came and gone without a respective replacement model. Then in 2017, the Honda BR-V was launched, followed by the Perodua Aruz in 2018, which reignited the segment for a bit. But that was it – for the past three years since the Aruz made its Malaysian debut,

By now, you'd have read about what WapCar.my thinks of the 2022 Toyota Avanza's shift from a rear-wheel drive (RWD) layout to a front-wheel drive (FWD) one. From a load-carrying perspective, RWD was a no brainer. So why has Toyota decided that the FWD Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) platform and a new CVT-type transmission were a good base to build its third-generation Avanza on? Let's just put it this way: the 2022 Avanza needs the FWD layout and CVT to stay relevant, and to stay at the

When it comes to concept cars turning into production models, Daihatsu has a solid track record of putting out cars that closely mirror their concept counterpart. Earlier, we covered the evolution of the DN Trec Concept, as well as the Daihatsu A Concept, from concept to production versions.
