For those keeping track would remember that Proton launched the updated Proton Persona in August 2021 and new Saga in May 2022. So, what’s cooking with these two Proton models seen here? According to sources close to the matter, the Persona and Saga seen here is likely testing new electronic stability control (ESC) hardware for the South African market, as Proton re

There are only two 1.0-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged cars to choose from in Malaysia right now – The Perodua Ativa and the Nissan Almera.

We say finally as the Almera is looking very long in the tooth considering how Honda and Toyota introduced 2 new generations of the Honda City and Toyota Vios and a few major updates in between during the years the Almera was

The B-segment sedan market will get interesting when the 2020 Honda City and 2020 Nissan Almera arrive here in Malaysia. Details on local specifications for both cars have yet to be divulged, so we’ll take the Thailand-spec range-toppers for both as reference in this Nissan Almera vs Honda City comparison. Nissan Almera vs Honda City Powertrain - No turbo for us, sadly It is unlikely for the Honda City's 1.0-litre turbo to make its way here due to cost and lack of incentives. Instead, the 1.5-li
