Honda Japan has just opened pre-orders for the 2024 Honda WR-V. Despite sharing the same "Winsome Runabout Vehicle" acronym as the one currently on sale in Malaysia, it is an entirely different model. Fully imported from India where the JDM WR-V is sold as the Honda Elevate, it is a blocky-looking SUV that makes our WR-V appear cute by comparison. However, Honda Access is offering accessories to spruce up the Japanese WR-V’s look. Called the “Tough Style” package, its centrepiece is the front gr

There's no need for pitchforks, we still opine that the Perodua Ativa (D55L) remains a fantastic value proposition in Malaysia's new car space. It's right-sized, fairly powerful (What's that? Tekan tekan preggy?), and practical – but these are also the merits of the 2015 - 2022 Honda HR-V (RU-series). You can snag one of these now for anywhere between RM 65,000 to RM 110,000, depending on year of manufacture, mileage, and variant. It's still competitive, smack in the middle of most new B-SUV's p

The Kia brand is well-received in the Vietnam market Kia Sportage crowned as best-selling SUV First month on sale With Kia's latest N3 platform, they are able to win the hearts of the Vietnamese consumers. It's unsuprising given that the Kia Sportage was the best-selling model in their lineup back in March 2022. The all-new 2022 Kia Sportage was merely launched less than a month in Vietnam before being their best-selling SUV for July 2022. Based on the Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers Associatio

At this year’s gruelling and somewhat chaotic Nürburgring 24 Hours, Hyundai Motorsport fielded three cars in the race, a Hyundai Elantra N TCR, a Hyundai i30 N TCR, and a near-production Hyundai i20. The pair of TCR cars dominated the TCR class and finished in the top two. The Elantra N TCR shared by Marc Basseng, Manuel Lauck, and Moritz Oestreich took pole position ahead of the i30 N TCR which consisted of Luca Engstler, Hendrick Still, and Jean-Karl Vernay. Throughout the race, the weather ke

The all-new Toyota Harrier made its global debut in Japan back in April, before going on sale two months later. Let's take a closer look at the all-new Toyota Harrier that's earmarked for Malaysia in 2021. 1. What’s new with the Toyota Harrier? Everything’s new. The fourth-generation Toyota Harrier is a completely new model. Like any other modern-day Toyota model, the Harrier is built upon Toyota’s venerable TNGA platform. In the case of the all-new Harrier, it is underpinned by the TNGA-K platf

Although the Mitsubishi Outlander is often overlooked in the C-segment SUV market, it remains as a very competent option for families seeking a 7-seater SUV. While some may scoff at the Outlander’s lack of ADAS features or uninspiring design, it remains as a very capable (and surprisingly comfortable) family mover. Small niggles aside, the biggest gripe we had with the Mitsubishi Outlander is its air-conditioning system. In an effort to appear driver-centric, the Outlander’s centre and driver’s
