Perodua is gearing up to showcase its first electrified (xEV) powertrain technology at the upcoming Malaysia Autoshow 2024, as teased by a promotional image. This aligns with the report by RHB Investment Bank back in late 2022, which anticipated Perodua's debut of its first hybrid (HEV) in 2024. While Perodua previously introduced the Ativa Hybrid, available on a trial basis, this upcoming display promises something more substantial. Perodua mentioned that its first-ever hybrid offering will coi

Let’s get one thing clear about vehicle ownership. Buying a car and maintaining a car are two very different aspects of the proprietorship experience… and the latter is something plenty of us are guilty of not factoring into the equation which can then become an expensive sum. Firstly, just because you can afford to, doesn’t mean you have to buy the most expensive car you can afford on your salary or budget… lambang ‘H’ be damned. Secondly, pricier cars usually mean pricier maintenance as well.

It might seem like an avalanche of news and information about the all-new 2023 Perodua Axia D74A today and unfortunately that’s not slowing down any time soon.

Previewed today to selected members of the media with a short drive thrown in; which you can read about here, the carmaker reported that the majority of the bookings were f

The chances for Proton to return to the United Kingdom are quite slim but the Malaysian tiger does have its fair share of fans that are determined to keep these “bangers” on the road. Still, there is one Proton that was widely praised by the country’s fine automotive journalists – the Proton Satria GTi. Malaysia’s first hot warm hatch burst into the scene in 1998 and it was launched in the UK in November 1999 with a price tag of GBP 14,500 (~RM 77.8k). Within its first 6 months in Great Britain,

In terms of meeting all the general prerequisites expected of an entry-level vehicle, no other car in the country can hold a candle to the Perodua Myvi. It didn’t earn its “king of the road” moniker purely from the questionable behaviour of some of its owners. It used to do everything expected of a simple car without fuss. Now, it’s gone a little beyond that with active safety tech, taking things to the next level. A recent facelift has only just made the best-selling car in Malaysia even better

Toyota South Africa has launched its newest and cheapest model there and it looks awfully familiar. That’s because the Toyota Agya is the Perodua Axia’s twin (triplet if you include the Daihatsu Ayla). Starting at ZAR 178,600 for the base 5-speed manual transmission, the Indonesian-built Agya is the cheapest Toyota model in the nation famous for the sweet sounds of the vuvuzela. It comes standard with 14-inch alloy wheels, manual air-conditioning, electric windows, a start button, ABS, and dual
