Let’s get one thing clear about vehicle ownership. Buying a car and maintaining a car are two very different aspects of the proprietorship experience… and the latter is something plenty of us are guilty of not factoring into the equation which can then become an expensive sum. Firstly, just because you can afford to, doesn’t mean you have to buy the most expensive car you can afford on your salary or budget… lambang ‘H’ be damned. Secondly, pricier cars usually mean pricier maintenance as well.

Hybrid cars are not new to Malaysians, seeing that they have been available in Malaysia for roughly 15 years with the introduction of the FD-generation Honda Civic Hybrid. And today, hybrids are even more popular, as manufacturers like Honda, Toyota, and Nissan all offer at least one hybrid model in their line-up here in Malaysia. More recently, Perodua has thrown their hat in the ring with the 2022 Perodua Ativa Hybrid. On one of the presentation slides that Perodua showed, the second national

As us Malaysians ride the Proton X50 wave, our friends in the Philippines are gearing up to welcome the Geely Okavango, based on the massive Geely Haoyue. Sojitz G Auto Philippines - official distributors of Geely cars there - confirmed the funkily-named SUV's 2021 introduction to media sources. Bookings for the seven-seater SUV will open on 17-October in the Philippines.

The D-segment sedan class of vehicles is undergoing a transformation of sorts. The people that used to buy such cars, the colloquially termed ‘uncles,’ have since migrated to SUVs. The ‘uncles’ who would have otherwise have bought a Honda Accord or a Toyota Camry, are now buying a Honda CR-V or Mazda CX-5 because today's SUVs offer comparable comfort, space, and fuel economy to a sedan, while an SUV's taller seating position is a lot easier for older drivers to get in and out of.
