The first-ever all-electric (EV) version of the BMW 5 Series, the 2024 BMW i5, made its ASEAN debut in Thailand five months after its official global unveiling. Two variants of the BMW i5 are offered in the Kingdom: BMW i5 eDrive40 M Sport – THB 4,999,000 (~RM 653k) BMW i5 M60 xDrive – THB 5,599,000 (~RM 732k) The i5 brings the 5 Series into the all-electric era though it has a very divisive look commonly tagged onto most modern BMWs.

Honda Cars Philippines has announced prices of the second generation 2022 Honda BR-V, which is due to be launched there on 21-November. As expected, prices have moved up in similar double-digit percentages.

The upcoming Perodua D55L is a curious one. For starters, we know that it will be based on Japan market Toyota Raize/Daihatsu Rocky. However, spyshots aren’t generally associated with a company as strict as Perodua. As such, when it comes to upcoming Perodua models, instead of relying on spyshots, this is where render guru Theophilus Chin steps in. In his latest iteration of the Perodua D55L, he gave the upcoming B-segment SUV the Kembara nameplate – one of the few names we speculated that could

Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) have taken the covers off the 7-seater 2020 Mitsubishi Xpander.

Since Naza Kia Malaysia updated the 2020 Kia Grand Carnival to an 11-seater MPV, the car’s interior experienced a massive downgrade. Gone were the comfortable leather seats and in its place were beige fabric ones. But it seems there is now an option to upgrade them to black leather.
