Malaysia’s most affordable EV, the Neta V has just received an update in China as well as a completely new name. No longer will it be called the Neta V, say hello to the Neta AYA which stands for “Amazing, Young, and Active”. While the exterior sees a few pronounced changes like a trapezoidal cutout on the lower section of the front bumper with dot-matrix patterns, the interior looks almost indistinguishable between the facelift and pre-facelift. Perhaps the biggest update on the Neta AYA’s inte

The upcoming US-spec HR-V will feature a sportier and more Ford-like design based on the sketches that were revealed earlier this year. Now, American Honda Motor Co has released a single teaser image of its rear taillight in anticipation of its 4-April reveal. It’s already pretty telling that the American

As such with our new Perodua Ativa, the first thing in order is to run it in. How to run in the car? Drive the car carefully without exceeding a certain rpm and speed limit. In every car’s owner manual, the instructions for the run-in period are explicitly stated. And for the case of our Perodua Ativa, the r
