If you're shopping for a Proton X70, you may want to fast track your purchase, as a recent report from Chinese portal Automachi claimed that Proton will be unveiling a minor change (MC) Proton X70 Facelift in August.

It's welcome news for Malaysians who have been eagerly waiting for this Korean B-segment SUV, since the last time any of us got a glimpse of it was at the 2018 Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show (KLIMS). What is the Hyundai Kona? Long story short, the Kona is Hyundai's answer to the Honda HR-V and the Proton X50. Hyundai quotes pric

Bookings of the 2020 Toyota GR Yaris were opened earlier this year, whereby potential buyers had the opportunity to get their hands on the 1st Edition version of the high-performance hatchback. What sets the 1st Edition models apart from the rest? First up is the inclusion of Morizo’s signature on the lower left side of the windshield – Morizo is the racing alter-ego of Akio Toyoda, the president of Toyota Motor Corporation.
