Back in 2021, we reported that supply of parallel imported Toyota Vellfire coming out of Japan is going to become increasingly tight in the coming years, as sales of the Vellfire have dropped tremendously, and as a result of the poor sales - there will be no successor to the AH30 generation Vellfire. Obviously, that didn’t come to pass as a new AH40 generation 2023 Toyota Vellfire was launched yesterday in Japan, alongside its twin the Toyota Alphard. Many were surprised that the Vellfire surviv

A favourite among Malaysians who deemed themselves with the title of very important, the Toyota Alphard has reportedly ended its sale over here and in Japan. With rumours that a new generation is approaching, leave it to the internet to produce valuable info on what is to come with the all-new Alphard. Leaked footage of the upcoming 4th-gen Alphard was apparently taken at what could be a staff training session in China and uploaded to Chinese social media site, Xiao Hong Shu. The video clearly s

The Toyota Alphard and Vellfire have been Malaysian’s go-to MPV for many years but you’d be a fool to not consider the fourth-generation 2022 Kia Carnival.

It may slightly resemble one, but don’t mistake it for an Alphard - this is the 2021 Lexus LM 350 that’s just been launched in Malaysia. Coming in sole 4-seater guise and imported (CBU) from Japan, prices for this house-on-wheels starts from RM 1.11 million. At RM 1,106,513, it's circa RM 135k dearer than the Lexus LS 500 Luxury (RM 1.02 mil) and 2.5x more than the Alphard (official UMWT unit, with the 3.5-litre V6) it's based on, which starts from RM 446k.

This is our first glimpse of the Hyundai Staria, the Korean carmaker's upcoming multi-purpose vehicle (MPV). Characterised by a smooth silhouette and clean lines, the Staria won't look out of place in your usual sci-fi movies.
