Toyota has announced prices of the Toyota GR Corolla at its home market in Japan. Two variants are available but only 1 is relevant to us. The RZ variant sells for JPY 5,250,000, which is 15 percent more expensive than the highest specs GR Yaris RZ High Performance. The other variant is the Morizo Edition, a stripped out, 2-seater track missile that’s definitely not coming here. That variant costs JPY 7,150,000. Both the GR Corolla and GR Yaris share more or less the same powertrain – a 1.6-litr

The all-new 2023 Toyota Vios (D92A) is bound to enter Malaysia sooner rather than later, in a bid to upstage the current GN-series Honda City. The question remains: how soon? We'll take a look of previous UMWT locally-assembled (CKD) launches here, notably the previous-gen Vios and the Toyota Corolla Cross to hypothesise. Previous-gen Vios and Corolla Cross The Vios as is currently sold in Malaysia – NSP 151 – dates back to 2017. Its pre-facelift model debuted in Thailand as the Yaris Ativ in Au

Kah Motor Company Sdn. Bhd. - Honda's authorised distributor in Singapore - has opened registration of interest for the all-new 2022 Honda Civic (FE-series) there. Beyond this single photo, further information about the Singapore-spec model has not yet been shared. We have reached out for comment and shall update this story once we hear from them. Note that Singapore imports the 10th-gen Civic (FC) from Thailand. With this arrangement unchanged, this teaser implies that production of the new Civ

Toyota unveiled the facelifted 2021 Toyota Vios a couple of months ago in the Philippines, followed by Thailand a month later. Set to be introduced in Malaysia by December, let's take a closer look at Toyota’s upcoming B-segment contender that will be going head-to-head against the all-new Honda City and Nissan Almera. 1. When will the 2021 Toyota Vios go on sale? Considering that the current, pre-facelifted Toyota Vios has completely sold out, it does mean that UMW Toyota Motor will introduce t

There’s plenty of advice out there that says “Hey, you’ve just started working, it’s best you get a brand new car because they're reliable and cheaper to maintain!" Don’t get us wrong, it's a very valid opinion. But what if you’re 'the 10th dentist'? Perhaps you want to eschew the monthly commitments and just plonk the cash for an older car that'll still take you around reliably. For that, the 2003-2007 Toyota Vios (NCP42) remains a very viable option. While I own one, here's an unbiased account

Previously, we've compared the BMW 330i and the Mercedes-Benz C300. Since then, BMW Malaysia has introduced a new variant to the G20 3 Series lineup - the 320i. Once more, we’re pitting these two against each other but at one rung below, the BMW 320i vs the Mercedes-Benz C200. What's better BMW 3 Series or Mercedes C-Class? One of the major differences between them is the powertrain; the BMW 320i is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder that makes 184 PS and 300 Nm, the Mercedes-Benz C2
