Maruti Suzuki is India’s number one carmaker and in some ways, it is similar to our very own Perodua. However, aside from producing Suzuki models, it has a partnership with Toyota in the subcontinent. This resulted in some Suzuki models sold in India (and South Africa) being offered with a Toyota badge but this Innova Zenix marks the first time a Toyota model is given the Suzuki rebadge in India. Toyota models have been rebadged as Suzuki before outside of India. Europe has the likes of the RAV4

Introduced in Malaysia in 2016, the Toyota Sienta didn’t exactly get off a great start. Despite being manufactured in Indonesia and imported (CBU) to Malaysia, the ASEAN-spec Sienta is actually derived from a Japanese domestic market model, which explains its quirky exterior and funky interior. And due to that, many Malaysians didn’t exactly welcome the Sienta with open arms. Yours truly knows this first-hand, as some family members wasn’t too receptive of the Sienta’s quirky exterior design. Bu

Out of the three main protagonists of the boxy C-segment MPVs, only the Nissan Serena is officially sold in Malaysia with the Toyota Voxy/Noah and Honda Stepwgn offered through recond dealers. The Serena is also quite long in the tooth with the C27 having been introduced in 2016. Meanwhile, the Stepwgn and Voxy/Noah were given all-new generations earlier this year but Nissan hasn’t forgotten the memo. In fact, an all-new C28 Serena is expected to be launched in Japan in November 2022. Camouflage

At the time of inception, many current examples of what we affectionately refer to as “modern classics” were likely considered “ahead of its time.” They broke the mould, didn’t fit in or weren’t like the others. Again, these terms are often reserved for sports cars or luxury offerings, such as the all-new Toyota Crown, and not your run-of-the-mill mini MPV like a Toyota Sienta which we're about to do so now. You see, back in August 2016 when the second-generation Sienta was launched here, many w

One day after Perodua opened bookings for the D27A all-new 2022 Perodua Alza, Toyota has followed suit with the equally-new 2022 Toyota Veloz, the Alza’s sister model. Estimated price for the 2022 Toyota Veloz is RM 95k, with SST. Bookings made this month for the 2022 Toyota Veloz are entitled to SST exemptions, as the model is now locally-assembled (CKD), but UMW Toyota Motor chose to include SST anyway, presumably to deter non-serious buyers from clogging up the order bank. SST exempted prices

When we previously reported the launch of the new 2021 Honda Odyssey second facelift, we said that Honda Malaysia hasn’t announced anything in regards to bringing the updated car to our shores. But now, we expect that the second facelift will come to Malaysia by 2021. The second facelift for the fifth-generation Honda Odyssey made its debut in Japan. The facelift now features a more drastic look as Honda has swapped out the old grille in favour of a more aggressive-looking one. Though it’s a cha
