BMW Thailand announced yesterday a locally-assembled (CKD) version of the BMW X6. The model will supersede the previous Spartanburg, USA-built X6 model. Available in only one xDrive40i M Sport variant, the coupe-SUV is powered by a 3.0-litre turbocharged 6-cylinder engine that makes 340 PS and 450 Nm. Ride is improved by BMW’s Adaptive 2-axle air suspension. The CKD 2022 BMW X6 is priced in Thailand at THB 5,499,000 (about RM 703,000, sounds like a lot but it mostly due to the depreciation of th

This was based on a January 2021 report that was released by the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc. (CAMPI). CAMPI is the Filipino equivalent of the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) in which both compile month

The Mitsubishi Outlander has been on sale in Malaysia since 2017 and calling it a little long in the tooth is an understatement. The model itself has been in its third generation since 2013 and looking at the spec sheet, we have to say that the 7-seater C-segment SUV is in serious need of an overhaul. But spec sheet aside, is the Outlander still worthy of your consideration? When you say 7-seater C-segment SUV, the Outlander rarely comes to mind over competitors like the Nissan X-Trail and the K

Volkswagen has just unveiled the 2021 Arteon facelift. It has undergone an extensive product line update to the brand halo, including sharpened design elements, interior refinements, and intelligent comfort systems. In Europe, Volkswagen is enhancing the product line with a second version - the new Arteon Shooting Brake (start lobbying guys!). There is also a proper, cooking Arteon R this time round. The refreshed Arteon features a refined front end with sharpened design elements. The long, wide
