At the recent Perodua media conference, the second Malaysian carmaker revealed that it has 220,000 backlog orders remaining. Around 15,000 of those orders were made during the sales tax (SST) exemption which ended on 30-June 2022.

As a petrolhead, we all aspire to own multiple types of cars, be it a executive sedan with a silky-smooth engine, or a pocket rocket for hooning around town. Realistically speaking, sensible car buyers won’t be purchasing multiple cars; instead, they will be buying one car that can do it all – transporting their family in comfort and yet practical enough for a weekend shopping spree.

If you thought that Mitsubishi has lost its charm by rolling out boring bread-and-butter models, think again. This is the Mitsubishi Xpander AP4, claimed to be the first-ever MPV to enter a rally stage. Built to conform to FIA AP4 rally regulations, the Xpander AP4 features a 1.6-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that outputs an eye-watering 344 PS and 556 Nm (the regular Xpander does 105 PS and 141 Nm). A 6-speed sequential transmission replaces the regular Xpander’s 4-speed automatic, natur

Geely is looking to re-enter the Philippines market with the introduction of the popular Binyue SUV, which is now sold there as the Coolray. The Binyue has been immensely popular in the Chinese domestic market. Geely has already sold a record 100,000 units in just 8 months since its introduction. Now Geely is hoping to see a repeat of the Binyue’s popularity to revive the brand in the Philippines market. Known as the Geely Coolray in the Philippines, the car will bring over all the technology th
