Battery electric vehicles (EVs) are rather simple machines. With 100 times less components inside, it is a lot easier to build an EV than a regular internal combustion engine vehicle. Anyone with enough money can buy off-the-shelf batteries, infotainment, all the associated software, and contract a factory to build an EV. But craftsmen and artists will tell you that the easier a task, the easier it is to separate those who really know what they are doing from those who don’t. Confused? Step away

People say the darndest things, and right up there with whatever Malaysian politicians are spewing in the moment are comments about how the all-new 2022 Honda Civic (FE) looks 'uncle', 'tame' and 'soft'. Like meeting your Tinder date for the first time, the difference between one's on-screen look and in-person can be...jarring to say the least. That applies to cars as well, and in the case of the Civic FE we're happy to report – hand on heart – that all the knots in the stomach were unwarranted,

Late last month, Geely launched the all-new 2021 Geely Emgrand. The new Emgrand is positioned slightly above the entry-level Geely Yuanjing (Vision) sedan in Geely’s extensive line-up. In China, the 2021 Geely Emgrand is priced from CNY 69,900 (~RM 45k) for the base five-speed manual variant, topping out at CNY 88,900 (~RM 58k) for the top-spec variant. While these prices put the 2021 Geely Emgrand in the same bracket as the B-segment Toyota Vios, the former’s dimensions are actually closer to C

It is no secret that in the past half a decade, demand for C-segment sedans have dwindled significantly. Where the Toyota Corolla Altis and Honda Civic used to rule the roost, now they battle for scraps left by SUV contenders. Today, we compare the range-toppers of each model, the Toyota Corolla Altis 1.8G (RM 134,505) and the Honda Civic 1.5 TC-P (RM 134,661) to see, which one is better suited to carrying out daily duties and ferrying your family.

Among the trio launched by Volkswagen Malaysia a couple of months ago was the 2020 Volkswagen Arteon R-Line. There is only one trim available – the R-Line, priced at RM 221,065 (OTR without insurance and SST). To recap, VW Arteon's power comes from a 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that makes 190 PS and 320 Nm of torque. All that twisting force goes to the front wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (wet type). Exterior - Sleekest VW yet Volkswagen Arteon The VW Arteon is the sp

The hottest car segment is undeniably the B-segment sedans. You can’t talk about the Honda City without mentioning the Toyota Vios and likewise. But have you ever compared the two cars’ equipment list side by side? For this comparison, we compare the range topping Toyota Vios G variant against the Honda City V variant and City Hybrid as well. Toyota made a huge mark when they debuted the Vios in 2003, but the third generation, unfortunately, let the model down allowing the City to take home the
