The budget MPV market in Malaysia may be dominated by Perodua Alza but over in Vietnam, things are a little different. Like many parts of Southeast Asia, Vietnam is a country dominated by Toyota. The Toyota Vios is Vietnam’s No.1 selling car (23,529 units in 2022) but it’s a position that it barely held on to. Ever since its launch in mid-2020, the Mitsubishi Xpander has been frequently harassing the Vios for the No.1 spot. In one too many times last year, the Xpander had even overtook the Vios

At the launch of the all-new 2023 Toyota Vios, UMW Toyota President Datuk Ravindran K. revealed that over 5,000 bookings have been collected for the 2023 Toyota Vios since order books opened on 24-February 2023. “The response has been overwhelming with more than 5,000 bookings made since reservations opened on 24-February 2023,” said Datuk Ravindran. “I am glad to know that Malaysians continue to trust Toyota.

It's a monumental result considering the MPV's only been open for booking a little under three months ago (23-June), and even before it was launched on 20-July the order books were 30,000-unit strong. Deliveries for the Alza has been picking up pace too, with 7,682 units registered in July

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

Known more for its fuel efficiency, it is hard to imagine the Perodua Bezza as a performance car. However, photo chopper Theophilus Chin seems to think otherwise with his rendering of a Perodua Bezza fitted with kits from the Toyota GR Yaris. In continuation of renderings of the Perodua GR Axia and the Perodua GR D55L, here is the Perodua GR Bezza. The Perodua Bezza has been around since 2016 and received a very recent facelift in early 2020. Fresh from the factory, the Perodua Bezza produces a

Early this month, Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) teased the 2020 Mitsubishi Xpander at Mid Valley Megamall to garner interests and bookings. While the model is set to make its Malaysian debut sometime soon, the Xpander had been launched in other markets around South East Asia since 2017. Indonesia is one of those markets and received a facelift in February 2020. The MPV segment is king over there with the Xpander reportedly being the second best-selling car in Indonesia behind the Toyota Avanz
