On Tuesday, Honda Malaysia launched the 2022 Honda Civic e:HEV RS. The locally-assembled, top of the Civic range e:HEV RS hybrid variant is priced at RM 166,500. Compared to the ‘regular’ 1.5-litre turbocharged 182 PS / 240 Nm Civic RS, the 2.0-litre 184 PS / 315 Nm Civic e:HEV RS hybrid is RM 15,800 more expensive. A big chunk of the money goes to the LFC-H4 Atkinson cycle engine, which is an all-new unit, now incorporating direct injection, a feature that was previously unavailable in older 2.

Okay, so it’s technically the Corolla’s more sports-oriented twin but unlike the action-packed Japanese comic series, Toyota’s own commemoration to its long-lasting and mos

The Toyota Corolla has just recently celebrated a new milestone as the world’s most popular car reached its 50 millionth unit sold. Part of the reason for the Corolla achieving this quite possibly unbeatable feat is through local assembly almost around the world, including Malaysia. To date, there are some 300,000 units of the Corolla sold in Malaysia ever since it was introduced in 1968. UMW Toyota even has a restored KE10 Corolla which was shown to the media in 2018 in conjunction with the 50t

Toyota will be entering a Corolla Sport (Corolla hatchback) race car powered by a hydrogen-burning combustion engine in a 24-hour endurance race competition in Japan. This is to prove to the world that traditional internal combustion engines (ICE) can still exist in an age of electrified tech.

The Toyota GR Yaris has been hogging the limelight recently and it's only fair - it reminds us of the classic Japanese sports car recipe of common cars made to go like a bat out of hell. Which is precisely what this as-yet-unnamed Subaru is. Japanese sources have reported that Subaru is planning a return to the World Rally Championship (WRC), and an all-new, rally-bred model is part of that plan. Due to regulations, it has to be smaller than the current Impreza, which makes it roughly the size o
