Let's face it. Unless your car is a rare piece of machinery, it will depreciate. This is why, for many people, resale value is as important for car buyers as the cost of maintenance.

Following last week's media preview, Hyundai-Sime Darby Motor (HSDM) has announced prices for the all-new 2021 Hyundai Elantra. Starting from RM 158,888 (on-the-road, without insurance), the all-new Elantra is set to add some spicy competition to the C-segment sedan market. In a market dominated by the Honda Civic, how will the Korean sedan heat up? Will it be as fiery as spicy ramen or will it be a watershed moment?

The Royal Malaysian Police’s (PDRM) aging fleet of Proton Wira and Proton Waja models will be replaced in stages by 425 units of Toyota Corolla Altis 1.8E. The newer Proton Preve and Proton Inspira police cars however, will continue to remain in service. Curiously, it is not UMW Toyota Motor, the authorised importer and distributor of Toyota vehicles in the country that will be supplying the vehicles. Instead, the fleet of Toyota Corolla Altis will be supplied by Go Auto Sales Sdn. Bhd., the imp

The all-new Toyota Corolla Altis 2019 won't be launched until October but that didn't stop UMW Toyota Motor's outlet in Petaling Jaya from putting the car on display. Shown in the range-topping 1.8 G form (Malaysia is not getting the hybrid variant), the all-new Corolla Altis 2019 is powered by a carried over 1.8-litre 2ZR-FE naturally-aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine with Dual VVT-i that outputs 139 PS at 6,400 rpm and 172 Nm at 4,000.
