If you're in search of a large family MPV, look no further than the locally assembled (CKD) Kia Carnival, which will be available for test drives at this weekend's Carlist Drive Auto Fair at the Setia Alam Convention Centre. While its cost is comparable to that of a reconditioned Toyota Alphard / Vellfire, the Kia Carnival offers an added advantage – a 5-year / 100,000 km manufacturer warranty. This warranty is a typical inclusion for new cars, yet Kia goes the extra mile by including a 5-year /

Peugeot has announced that the next-generation Peugeot 3008 and Peugeot 5008 will be revealed in the second half of 2023. Electrification is emphasized as the upcoming models will be primarily introduced as battery-electric vehicles (BEV) – the E-3008 and E-5008.

Honda Indonesia has just dropped a teaser ahead of this Thursday’s Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (2021 GIIAS), hinting that a brand-new model will premiere.

A cumulative 50,983 units of the Toyota Alphard and Toyota Vellfire (model years 2017 - 2021) have been recalled in Japan for problems related to the car's auto stop-start feature. Depending on chassis number, reconditioned Japanese-import vehicles could be affected. We checked with UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT), who confirmed that officially-imported Malaysian-spec cars are not affected. This is because these officially-imported cars have been adapted for local driving conditions, and as such uses sl

The Mitsubishi Outlander might be an aging SUV but that doesn’t stop it from getting a 5-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating. The safety body has previously tested the Outlander, but that model was the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant. It is interesting to note that the Outlander PHEV scored higher than the non-hybrid variant (86.75 points versus 83.54 points). The Proton X70 still gets a higher score than both the hybrid and non-hybrid variants of the Outlander with 89.24 points. The petrol-powered Outl

Mitsubishi Outlander is equipped with a 2.4L engine codenamed 4J12 that matches the CVT gearbox. Maximum horsepower 165 hp at 6,000 rpm, maximum torque 220 Nm at 4,200 rpm. This data can only be considered as the middle level in the main competing products. 0-100km/h Accelerated test: 10.8s First of all, let's first look at the accelerated performance of Outlander. Because the Outlander uses a CVT transmission, the system protects it and the maximum speed at the start is controlled at around 240
