First launched in 2007, the first-generation Proton Persona (CM) marked a return to form for Proton in delivering a value-for-money family sedan for the masses that was robust, comfortable and practical too. Billed as the car Proton built for customers after listening to what they wanted, and not what 'management' thought was right – a case in point was the lacklustre Gen 2 – the CM Persona was the direct replacement to the popular Proton Wira but made better in every way. However, despite its p

Earlier today, the all-new 2021 Suzuki Jimny was launched in Malaysia. Naturally, some eyebrows were raised regarding the dainty SUV's price tag: RM 168,900 - and that's without insurance but with 50% SST discount applied.

We’ve pitted the Perodua Aruz and Honda BR-V against each other many times. But we didn’t think it was entirely fair that we were comparing the BR-V that was launched in 2016 against the 2019 Perodua Aruz and its modern amenities. Now that Honda Malaysia has launched the facelifted 2020 Honda BR-V, we can’t help but put the two cars side by side once again. The Price Unfortunately, the Honda BR-V was not immune to Honda’s recent price hike as well. The new BR-V is now at least RM 9,000 more expe

There’s more to look forward to from Kia this year, not only is Naza Kia getting ready to launch the Kia Seltos, they are also set to introduce an 11-seater Kia Grand Carnival LX Flexi. Basically, it’s a Grand Carnival with an extra row of seats and by the looks of it, the MPV will be launching in Malaysia very soon! A video of the 11-seater MPV was uploaded by Kia showroom in Sri Kembangan. The Grand Carnival LX Flexi fits 11 with a 2+3+3+3 seating arrangement. The video clearly shows how the f

Perodua sold 17,989 units of the Aruz between January and July this year, a figure which Perodua claims, makes it Malaysia's most popular SUV. With the high demand, a long waiting period is inevitable and previously the Aruz had a waiting period of up to 3 months, which Perodua says has now been reduced to between 1 to 1.5 months, depending on variants. Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer, Dato’ Zainal Abidin Ahmad said "We continue to focus on quality and delivery as our customers com
