The Mercedes-AMG range has always been iconic for its insanely powerful models that never make sense on paper but always caresses the heart. Today, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has updated that line-up with a refresh of the 2023 Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 S 4Matic+. While Mercedes-Benz is a serial killer for the term “coupe,” the 4-door CLA 45 S is a compelling argument for dismissal of the case. The 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder delivers 421 PS and 500 Nm, rocketing through the century sprint in just 4.

There's lots that go behind the making of a car, and it's no different for the CKD Chery Omoda 5 and Chery Tiggo 8 Pro in Malaysia, as specific attention was paid in the fine-tuning of their advanced driver aids (ADAS) and suspension for our market. "First is safety. Safety functions, ADAS system. We did a lot of test here. Also for the tyres, chassis, and suspension, all of these to make a comfortable driving experience here," said Leo Chen, Country Director of Chery Malaysia, in a BFM 89.9 rad

UMW Toyota has launched the Toyota GR86 in Malaysia, priced from RM 295,000 for the 6-speed manual to RM 305,000 for the 6-speed automatic variant. Like its predecessor, the Toyota GR86 is fully imported (CBU) from Japan. Let’s start with the powertrain, it gets a 2.4-litre boxer engine (FA24) that makes 237 PS/250 Nm (37 PS and 45 Nm more than the FA20 in the first generation 86), mated to a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. Both transmissions have been updated to accommodate th

The 7-seater / MPV segment in Malaysia hasn’t seen much action over the past couple of years. The Proton Exora and Perodua Alza are the longest-serving models here (and still are), while models like Nissan Grand Livina and Proton Ertiga have came and gone without a respective replacement model. Then in 2017, the Honda BR-V was launched, followed by the Perodua Aruz in 2018, which reignited the segment for a bit. But that was it – for the past three years since the Aruz made its Malaysian debut,

The locally-assembled Proton X70 is heading overseas, as Al Haj Proton, the official distributor of Proton vehicles in Pakistan, has just teased the new model. As seen on their social media account, the CBU Malaysia Proton X70 was driven 2,286 meters above sea level to Gabral, a village and hill station in the Swat District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistan. This is not the first time the Proton X70 was spotted in Pakistan, as the X70 was caught a couple of months back covered in copious

It wasn’t very long ago when 200 horsepower was exclusive only to high performance cars. The race homologated E30 BMW M3 for example, had just 200 PS from a 2.3-litre S14 four-cylinder engine. That was enough to make it one of the fastest sedans of the ‘80s and ex-F1 driver Jean Alesi said it was the best handling road car. Today, we have seven-seater MPVs and pick-up trucks that produce 200 horsepower, never mind sports cars. Of course, cars have also gotten a lot more complicated and a lot hea
