At long last, the highly anticipated Honda WR-V has officially been launched. The entry-level SUV will now take its place just under the Honda HR-V and is offered in Malaysia in four variants starting from RM 89,900. The locally-assembled (CKD Pegoh, Melaka) Honda WR-V competes against the Perodua Ativa (albeit with a higher price) and features the same L15 i-VTEC engine as the B-segment Honda City (and City Hatchback) and borrows bits of its platform from the current 7-seater BR-V (which is not

Small product update concerning the 2023 Proton Saga in Malaysia, and it's to do with it getting a new gearbox – gone is the old Hyundai-sourced 4-speed automatic (4AT), and in place is another 4AT from Toyota's affiliate Aisin.

In this upwardly mobile society, having a means of transportation is a necessity and in places where public transport is either absent or inefficient, having your own car is a must.

Proton has just posted its best sales performance since 2013 with 141,432 units sold in 2022. This makes it the fourth consecutive year that Malaysia’s first carmaker saw sales growth. However, despite the pair of Proton SUVs getting all the attention, the best-selling Proton car is a lot humbler and basic. 55,878 units of the Saga were sold in 2022 and the total figure includes both domestic and export numbers. This was an increase of 31.1% over the previous year and yet, it only achieved secon

Proton announced today that it has recorded its highest ever monthly sales in 7.5 years, with 14,989 units sold (including exports), beating the company’s last record in September 2013.

While the Proton X50 is coming soon (by October), let's take a look at its recently-launched, quirky cousin - the Lynk & Co. 06. What has the Proton X50 got to do with anything? We hear you ask. Well, Lynk & Co. is part of Geely Auto and as such, the 06 shares the BMA (B-segment Modular Architecture) with the Geely Binyue, which in turn underpins our upcoming X50. It doesn't stop there. The 06 gets a 1.5-litre, turbocharged three-cylinder mill pushing out 177 PS and 255 Nm mated to a 7-speed dua
