Malaysia will enforce minimum fuel economy for each manufacturer, calculated based on their weight of their models, by year 2030. Details are still under deliberation, but we understand that the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) and automotive policy think tank MARii will share some preliminary information later this month. Corporate Average Fuel Economy, better known as CAFE, is used to set maximum allowable fuel consumption (or minimum fuel economy targets) for a vehicle manu

Headlining the launch of the new 2022 Perodua Myvi is the brand-new Dual-mode CVT (D-CVT), replacing the tried-and-tested four-speed automatic unit. Apart from the new CVT, Perodua has also dropped the 5-speed manual option – an option that was offered since the third-generation model made its debut back in 2017. Why did Perodua drop the five-speed manual you ask? WapCar.my asked this question to Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer Dato’ Zainal Abidin Ahmad, and the respond we received

Enthusiast cars are getting rarer by the day, especially in Malaysia. We used to see a variety of brand-new hot/warm hatches being offered such as the Ford Fiesta ST or even the Suzuki Swift Sport.

The Toyota GR Yaris has been launched in Malaysia, starting from a staggering price of RM299k. The tiny Toyota GR Yaris is the car we never asked for, but we all love. For those of us dreaming of the GR Yaris (but couldn't afford one), photo manipulator, Theophilus Chin has blessed us with renderings of a Perodua GR Axia instead. Apart from the number of cylinders and the number of wheels, both the Toyota GR Yaris and Perodua Axia share very little in common. The Toyota GR Yaris produces 261 PS

Mazda recently introduced the all-new 2020 Mazda BT-50 to the world. As you know, the new BT-50 is now based on the reputable 2020 Isuzu D-Max, just like how the out-going truck was based on the Ford Ranger. Off the bat, it isn’t easy to spot the difference in terms of design between the two trucks. Only when one looked closer do you see the differences. The largest difference is, of course, the front-end of the truck. Instead of the Isuzu D-Max’s rugged new grille and DRLs that gives the car a

First launched in 2011, the current generation Isuzu D-Max is the oldest pick-up truck in the segment. To keep it current, Isuzu Malaysia has given the D-Max yet another mid-life update. For 2019, the new Isuzu D-Max now comes with a smaller capacity (but more powerful) 1.9L BluePower Ddi 150 PS engine. From the outside, the car looks exactly the same as before apart from BluePower Ddi decals but the interior gets a new dashboard, which now comes with soft touch padding. More importantly, the ne
