We’ve said it before, as technologically laden as they are, EVs rarely allow for the characteristic DNA of a manufacturer to be imprinted in its driving experience. All EVs are generally smooth, efficient, and quiet. So, once you get past the top-line figures, it’s a matter of splitting hairs over charging rates, drivetrain calibration and the artificial sci-fi sounds each one makes when you stomp on the go-pedal. There are a few exceptions, but let’s say, if we could hypothetically take the bod

Here's the Lexus RZ, the luxury marque's first bespoke all-electric model. Thailand is the second ASEAN country to launch it (after Singapore) at the 44th Bangkok International Motor Show (BIMS 2023). Yes, the UX 300e is electric as well, but the RZ is the brand's first dedicated EV, sitting on the same e-TNGA platform that underpins the Toyota bZ4X (Specs | News)/Subaru Solterra.

The outgoing Perodua Alza’s dated four-speed automatic transmission will soon make way for a more modern CVT transmission upon the introduction of the next-generation model. Judging from Perodua's record of filtering down new features from their technology showcase models, there's a good possibility that the next-gen Alza will get the CVT transmission from the Ativa. This will also applies to the next-generation Toyota Avanza which is rumoured to form the basis for the next-gen Perodua Alza. Thi

Having made its debut in 2009, the Perodua Alza is one of the oldest models on sale in Malaysia currently. But that may not be for too long more as its expected replacement - codenamed the D27A - could be launched as early as the end of this year. In their latest annual report, Sapura Industrial Berhad (SIB), a Perodua parts supplier, says that they are currently in the "development phase of parts awarded for the Alza replacement model (D27A) expected to be launched by end 2021".

The Perodua Alza is a 7-seater MPV that was introduced here back in 2009, which makes it one of the oldest new cars you can purchase today. Despite being 11 years old, Perodua won’t be pulling the plug on the Alza just yet, as the company recently reiterated that it won’t be discontinued any time soon.
