As before, the C-segment sedan and hatchback are imported (CBU) from Japan. As speculated back in February, prices of the updated 2022 Mazda 3 have crept up a bit, due to our weakening Ringgit. Compared to before, prices have gone up by 0.

At this year’s gruelling and somewhat chaotic Nürburgring 24 Hours, Hyundai Motorsport fielded three cars in the race, a Hyundai Elantra N TCR, a Hyundai i30 N TCR, and a near-production Hyundai i20. The pair of TCR cars dominated the TCR class and finished in the top two. The Elantra N TCR shared by Marc Basseng, Manuel Lauck, and Moritz Oestreich took pole position ahead of the i30 N TCR which consisted of Luca Engstler, Hendrick Still, and Jean-Karl Vernay. Throughout the race, the weather ke

Since its introduction in April 2020, Hyundai has sold more than 100,000 units of the all-new Hyundai Elantra. It is sold as the Hyundai Avante in South Korea.

The front end tweaks - bookended by a redesigned, sharper lower half - makes the car reminiscent of its bigger Kia K5 (Optima) sibling. It also gets a re

The new Hyundai Elantra offers an alternative option if you’re shopping for a C-segment saloon. Being a CBU import from Korea, it is a bit tougher for the Elantra to compete with the CKD Honda Civic. A CBU rival of the Hyundai Elantra would be the Japan-made Mazda 3 Sedan 1.5. The Hyundai Elantra is now open for booking, but prices are yet to be announced. We expect the price to be around the price of the Mazda 3 sedan 1.5, which is around RM 137,660. One Korean and the other Japanese, we figure

Soon, Mazda will be launching a new rear-wheel drive sedan with a 6-cylinder engine. It might be for the all-new Mazda 6, but it could also be a new model positioned above the 6. Mazda 60 maybe? Its goal is to take on BMW. A Mazda competing with BMW? What blasphemy is this? To be clear, Mazda is still a long way off from being seen as an equal to Mercedes-Benz, BMW, or Audi. Just look at how Lexus is doing. Instead, what's going to happen is for Mazda to slowly take over the space for premium, d
