For those who have a Proton X50, X70, Iriz, Persona, or Exora with Proton’s current-generation head unit, the company recommends users to update their software. Proton recently shared a post on their Facebook page, recommending owners of the aforementioned models to update the Atlas OS software on their Infotainment Head Unit (IHU), ensuring that users get a smoother experience. Proton also added that they are gradually migrating to a new cloud server to serve customers better. Said software upd

This is the all-new 2023 Toyota Vios (D92A). Yes, that's how it looks like, and it's just made its world debut in Thailand where it's sold as the Yaris Ativ. It's big news, and more importantly there's extra Malaysian flavouring in this as it's been co-developed by Daihatsu and Perodua. That means it's underpinned by the Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) – just like our Ativa and Alza and shares more than a couple parts with them too.

Good start for Toyota The company said its subsidiary, UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT), sold 3,845 units in January 2021, a 4.1 percent increase from the 3,692 units sold in January 2020. Of these figures, the facelifted 2021 Toyota Yaris and 2021 Toyota Vios, as well as

The previous-generation Nissan Almera definitely didn’t win in the looks or performance department but it was one of the cheapest non-national B-segment sedans in the market. With the all-new 2020 Nissan Almera, it appears that it traded its looks for a more premium price. In fact, it’s more expensive than the all-new Honda City aside from the City RS which has yet to announce its price. Does this mean that the City is a better buy than the Almera?
