At the recently concluded Sepang 1000 KM Endurance Race (S1K), three Toyotas finished in the top 5 overall positions after an extraordinarily challenging and nerve-racking 9 hours at the Petronas Sepang International Circuit. Victory for the Toyota brand this time was handed by former Gazoo Racing rookies Amer Harris and Nabil Azlan who drove for UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) dealer Wing Hin Motorsports. The team brought their Yaris across the finish line with a total of 169 laps completed – 5 laps cl

At the recent Perodua media conference, the second Malaysian carmaker revealed that it has 220,000 backlog orders remaining. Around 15,000 of those orders were made during the sales tax (SST) exemption which ended on 30-June 2022. Perodua CEO Dato' Sri Zainal Abidin Ahmad told the media that some of the cars might not be able to meet the registration cutoff time which ends on 31-March 2023. However, the carmaker said it will absorb the SST for those cars that would not be delivered in time for t

B-segment sedans are still the choice of many when it comes to family cars. And in Malaysia, the choices for B-segment sedans are Honda City, Proton Persona, Toyota Vios, or Nissan Almera.

If there's any word that can cause car buyers to think triple before signing the dotted line, it's depreciation. Sorry to say but this is just as certain as the sky is blue - the value of the car you drive drops over time. Stalwarts of the B-segment sedan scene - the Toyota Vios, Honda City, and Nissan Almera - are often said to be 'safe' choices when it comes to resale value. But how far is that true? Let's compare them, and we'll throw in the Volkswagen Vento into the mix as well. Data Collect

Proton recently announced its sales performance for Q1 2020 and despite Malaysia going into a nationwide Movement Control Order (MCO) in March, the national carmaker still managed to shift 21,757 units. An improvement of 20.4% compared to the same period in 2019. All Proton’s core models saw an increase in sales between 17 to 602% - the latter for the Proton Iriz. While the Proton X70 saw a decline of 48% in sales (attributed to the transition to the locally-assembled (CKD) model and MCO), it st

Toyota’s small cars family will be next in line to benefit from Toyota’s much vaunted TNGA platform. Short for Toyota New Global Architecture, the all-new TNGA platform has been the key reason why recent Toyota models like C-HR, Camry, and Corolla have been grabbing the title of best-in-class handling away from Mazda. Currently, there are three variations of Toyota’s TNGA platform (actually there are four if you include the Lexus LS’ GA-L). GA-C was the first of the TNGA platform series introduc
