Buoyed by strong and constant demand, Perodua customers must continue to be patient when buying a Perodua. Due to lingering issues related to semiconductor and supplier labour shortages, waiting periods still range between 2 months and up to 1 year depending on model and variant. Speaking at the Perodua Axia 1.0E MT market introduction yesterday; Perodua President and CEO said Dato' Sri Zainal Abidin Ahmad said waiting periods have shortened, but immediate delivery is still not possible.

UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has recently launched the new 2022 Toyota Veloz, and it's time to compare it with its donor car, the equally-new D27A Perodua Alza. If you are in the market for a B-segment MPV, you might be wondering which car to choose. While both cars share similarities, there are some key differences between them that might sway your decision. One of the most significant differences is the price. The D27A Perodua Alza has a price range that tops out at RM 75,500, while the Toyota Velo

Toyota celebrated a winning 2022 in Indonesia, as the carmaker sold 331,410 units of their vehicles in the archipelago last year. That translates to a scintillating 31.6% market share of the total industry volume (TIV) of 1,048,000 units. In other words, 1 in every 3 cars sold there last year is a Toyota.

The third-gen 2022 Toyota Avanza is due to make its international debut in the coming weeks. Though we have published photos of what the all-new Avanza will look like, here’s one coincidentally next to its predecessor courtesy of Indonesian automotive sleuth, Indra Fathan. Well, it’s an early pre-facelift model of the outgoing generation but you can see how much more grown-up and premium the all-new Avanza looks like. The Avanza on the trailer also appears to be the more upmarket Veloz variant.

A 7-seater makes sense for someone who wants a vehicle large enough to carry the whole family for a trip back to their hometown. Whether it's an MPV, an SUV, or a crossover, there's still a demand for them in Malaysia. But what if you’re considering a 7-seater that wouldn’t break your wallet? There are a few brand-new 7-seaters which cost under RM 100,000. The online classifieds offer even more options if you don’t mind going second-hand. So, for this Top Rank, we take a look at 7 of the most bu

The end could be near for the rear-wheel drive Toyota Avanza, as the model could be merged with the front-wheel drive Perodua Alza in the near future. Perodua Alvanza, anyone? Back in April, we reported that the Daihatsu DN Multisix concept shown at the 2017 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (2017 GIIAS) could preview the next-gen Toyota Avanza and Perodua Alza, seeing that both models are a tad bit long in the tooth. According to Creative Trend, Daihatsu is currently developing a new M
