One of the most highly demanded models in Japan is the all-new 2023 Toyota Alphard and Toyota Vellfire (AH40). Since its launch in June, its waiting period in the land of the rising sun is at least a year but according to Japanese media, some dealerships have suspended orders due to overwhelming demand. As per Web CarTop, some Toyota dealers have stopped taking orders for the AH40 Alphard and Vellfire due to the long waiting periods. One dealership explained to the automotive publication that if

Premiering simultaneously, the all-new 2023 Toyota Alphard and Vellfire now raise the bar for luxury MPVs even higher, delivering greater standards of luxury refinement and improved powertrains. Although these two large MPVs are today's definition of chauffeur-driven luxury, they came from more humble beginnings. Such that one Akio Toyoda, then a Director at Toyota was told to "get out of the way" once; after he arrived for an important meeting in an Alphard, instead of a Toyota Century, the pre

No, you’re not reading the clickbait-worthy title wrong because the all-new 2022 Perodua Alza isn’t just the best model to bear a Perodua badge to date. It surpasses almost everything that buyers want in a daily driver. As popular as the first generation Alza was with nearly 400,000 units sold in the past 13 years, its time is long overdue. So, it really comes as no surprise as to how much more improved the all-new Alza was when it was unveiled in July. It also instantly captured the hearts of M

The 7-seater, B-segment marketplace has evolved greatly. From serving up just utilitarian, functional vehicles, now there's style, features, and technology. I'd go as far to say that most won't mind being seen in one. If you're looking for a family friendly 7-seater car in 2021 that's below RM 100,000, you're practically spoilt for choice in this segment. However, some models like the Toyota Avanza, Honda BR-V and Perodua Alza are getting a bit long in the tooth. The good news is, there will be

Perodua’s technical partner Daihatsu is expected to launch its first hybrid 7-seater multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) in Japan in October 2021. Details are still lacking but the model will certainly ride on Daihatsu’s latest DNGA platform, which is developed to accommodate hybrid drivertrains. The recently launched Perodua Ativa is the first DNGA-based model for our region. Two powertrain options are mentioned as possible candidates – a Toyota-sourced 1.5-litre hybrid (shared with Yaris Cross), or a
