While the Toyota Vios has undergone an all-new generation in the form of the DNGA-based AC100 Vios, its hatchback twin, the Toyota Yaris seems to be soldiering on in its current generation with a fourth facelift. Making its world debut in Thailand, the updated Toyota Yaris has a look that resembles that of the second-gen Toyota Prius C/Aqua. Even with the new look, the XP150 Yaris has been around for ten years with the model launched way back in 2013. Like many updates, the new Yaris’ changes ar

Just last week, we reported that Honda Philippines has discontinued sales of the Honda Jazz in anticipation of the 2021 Honda City Hatchback’s launch. Sure enough, the hatch is now on sale and the Philippines is the first market to get the City Hatchback in its left-hand-drive guise. Like in Indonesia, Honda Philippines is offering the City Hatchback in only the RS variant. Hence the sportier body kit, gloss black highlights, and 2-tone wheels.

Bound to debut this year, the 2021 Proton Persona and Proton Iriz have been awarded with 5-star ASEAN NCAP ratings based on the 2017-2020 protocol.

Calling something pretty or beautiful is purely subjective. For some of us, we enjoy the beauty in what some might consider the mundane.

“Myvi” is the derivation of “My Vehicle," "My Vision" and "Malaysian Vision”. That’s what it says on the official Daihatsu website. The Perodua Myvi was the first Perodua to not receive a name obtained from the Malay language. Launched in 2005, the B-segment hatchback has become a household name, superseding older Malaysian-produced cars like the Proton Wira. Sharing parts with the Daihatsu Boon, Subaru Justy, and Toyota Passo, it is common to see badge conversions of this beloved hatchback. The

Forget your Bugatti Chiron or 740 PS Volkswagen Golf, the Ford Focus is in fact the fastest car in the world. That’s exactly what an Italian woman woke up to when she was sent a speeding fine claiming she zipped past a speed trap at 703 km/h in a 70 km/h zone.
