After the closure of Honda’s Sayama plant in Japan, several Honda models including the popular Honda Odyssey were discontinued. Now, in a surprising turn of events, Honda has opened the order books for an updated Honda Odyssey. It is set to go on sale in Japan within Q4 2023.

Just weeks after its global debut in Indonesia, India has launched the all-new 2023 Toyota Innova today. If you have watched enough Hindi movies or news clips from India, you would know that the Toyota Innova is viewed very differently over there. In India, the Innova is almost on par with a Toyota Alphard. It’s hard for us in Malaysia to understand but there’s a good reason for it. The Alphard’s lower ground clearance makes it a poor choice to deal with the frequent flash floods and poor road c

The next-gen 2023 Toyota Innova will be completely different from the outgoing Innova which has been around since 2015.

Fixing Kia’s broken after-sales support in Malaysia is the most important (and difficult) task for new Kia distributor Dinamikjaya, a subsidiary of Bermaz Auto, which has taken over the distributorship rights for Kia vehicles in Malaysia effective 1-April 2021. Although many Kia owners are looking forward to a better ownership experience, they have to keep in mind that it’s unrealistic to expect the new custodians of Kia to undo more than a decade of neglect and clean up the legacy issues left b

Alongside the launch of the Kia K5, the all new fourth-generation 2021 Kia Carnival also made its Chinese debut at the 2020 Beijing Auto Show. Like the K5, the Carnival will ride on Kia’s new iGMP platform and will continue Kia’s technology showcase in the country. The new generation Kia Carnival only just made its global debut last month. It came with SUV-inspired new look but with MPV proportion. It is now larger than ever as Kia engineers have extended the width by 10 mm from 1,985 mm to 1,99

Here in Malaysia, or even anywhere else in South East Asia, we don’t think very highly of the Toyota Innova. Malaysians in particular can’t get over the fact that it rides on the same underpinnings as a rudimentary Toyota Hilux pick-up truck. Tough and good for carrying loads yes, but not for refinement. Over in Indonesia, theToyota Innova is very popular. It’s seen as a step up from the Toyota Avanza, the default car for Indonesia, similar to our Perodua Myvi. Still, Indonesians don’t see it as
