Moments ago, UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) launched the 2023 Toyota Innova Zenix in Malaysia. Two variants are up for grabs, and with prices ranging from RM 165k to RM 202k, it's quite a leap from the 'older', IMV ladder frame-based CG-generation Innova. An Innova in name only Despite the Innova nameplate, the Innova Zenix is seen as a totally seperate model from the older CG generation Innova - which will still remain on sale for customers who are looking for something simpler, cheaper, with 'more lo

Six months after it's made its world debut in Indonesia, the all-new 2023 Toyota Innova has finally arrived in Malaysia. These photos were shared by Facebook page RiderAth, who spotted a carrier with six units of the lightly-masked SUV-esque MPV. The blocky stature, wheels, and silhoutte clearly mark it out as the TNGA-C platform Innova which in itself is shared with the Toyota Corolla Cross and is a departure of the outgoing model's IMV ladder-frame chassis. This next-gen Innova will also switc

Seeing that the second Movement Control Order (MCO 2.0) was enforced on 13-January 2021, sales of motor vehicles also took a heavy beating. Proton sold 5,964 cars in January, down 29.9% compared to January 2020, capturing an estimated market share of 18.5%. This marks a 1.0% drop in market share compared to the same period last year. The best-selling Proton model was the Proton Saga, with 2,583 units delivered in January. The Proton X70 continues to lead the C-segment SUV category with 1,082 uni

What are the alternatives? Seven-seater SUVs? Have you tried climbing into the third row of one of those? Now imagine doing it every day/week.
