The Bangkok International Motor Show is Thailand’s biggest and most important car sales event. Held between 29-March to 11-April, sales figures at the motor show are often used as an indicator of the pulse of Thai car buyers, thus setting expectations for the rest of the year. A total of 53,438 vehicles were sold (booked) during the two-week long event, according to figures released by the motor show organizer Grand Prix International. As expected, Toyota leads the sales chart, with 8,540 bookin

Kia Motors Corporation has revealed first images of the new Kia Carnival, the fourth generation of the brand’s flagship minivan. Back in April, we were teased with renderings of the rear-end of the new Carnival. The new Carnival features a shorter front overhang, with the base of the A-pillar moved backwards to create a longer hood. Its increased wheelbase also contributes to greater space throughout the cabin. No details have been mentioned on the powertrain, but reports in recent months have p

Back in 2016, the Toyota Hilux made headlines when it tipped on two wheels while undergoing a so-called ‘moose test’ conducted by Swedish automotive media Teknikens Varld. This is the second time the Toyota Hilux has failed the test, as the previous generation Toyota Hilux also had the same problem. In September 2019, Teknikens Varld repeated the same test with the latest Toyota RAV4, and the results weren’t very good either. So what’s wrong with Toyota cars? But first, what is a moose test?
