The Kia K4 has made its global debut at the 2024 New York International Auto Show. With the Civic-rivalling K4, the Cerato and Forte moniker will no longer be used. In line with Kia's "Opposites United" design principle, the K4 features a sleek profile with angular elements. Employing "Twist Logic," the design incorporates vertical D-pillars and prominent wheel haunches. L-shaped head- and taillights intersect with the front and rear bumpers, while LED daytime running lights form Kia's signature

The current generation Honda CR-V is already in its final legs. An all-new generation model has already been launched in Thailand, and Indonesia is expected to follow suit in the coming months. The model is currently in what the industry terms as a run-out mode – using sales promotions to phase out the current generation model to make way for an incoming new model. Bargain hunters who don’t mind not having the latest model, and don’t want to put up with long waiting periods for newer, more popul

The Proton X70 has been a runaway success for the Proton and now the 2022 update sees the best-selling SUV in the country getting a smaller 1.5-litre turbocharged 3-pot engine shared with the X50.

Proton’s Himalayan adventure in Nepal had only just begun with the Saga last year and this time, the Proton X70 will be following its entry-level sibling with a shockingly high price. Introduced virtually through Proton Nepal’s social media channels, the Nepal-spec X70 starts from 8.7 million Nepali rupees (~RM 300,000). Proton is distributed by Jagdamba Motors Pvt. Ltd. and there are four variants of the X70 for the Nepalese market which are available with either 2WD or AWD. The following are t

Proton ended 2019 on a strong note, firmly putting the Proton X70 as the undisputed leader in the C-SUV segment, with over 13,300 units, eclipsing the Honda CR-V’s 12,000 plus units. But does it come as a surprise at all? Thanks to generous tax incentives that nobody else apart from Proton and Perodua enjoys, the rebadged Geely Boyue is nearly RM 50,000 cheaper than a similarly equipped Honda CR-V 1.5 TC-P. On paper, Malaysia no longer have a national car policy, not for the last 20 years. The t

Proton Cars have just delivered 50 units of the Proton X70 CBU to the Ministry of Health (MOH) for the fight against Covid-19. The fleet of X70s will be used by MOH primarily to transport our medical heroes during this Covid-19 pandemic. These X70s are the older fully imported (CBU) units, not the newly launched locally-assembled (CKD) versions.
