The Toyota Avanza is no longer in Malaysia and replacing it is the all-new 2022 Toyota Veloz. The twin to the newly-launched (and hotly sought-after) D27A Perodua Alza has yet to reveal its launch date but UMW Toyota (UMWT) recently uploaded another feature teaser on its social media channels. This time, the highlight is the 7-seater MPV/SUV/crossover’s ground clearance which is measured at 190 mm. That’s 30 mm higher than the Alza with variants bearing the 16-inch wheels (H and AV) having a mer

Exterior - cleaner design Most will agree that the new facelift is far easier on the eyes than the outgoing Yaris. Changes now include LED head lamps and daytime running lights (DRLs) across all three variants, and an aggressive front bumper that looks much simpler than before. It still w

Back in 2015, Proton showcased an all-electric car – the Proton Iriz EV. Today, we were lucky enough to get a glimpse of some rather bizarre Proton cars being auctioned away. There were more than 10 Proton electric vehicles at the lot, but the best condition electric car would be the Proton Iriz EV. Five years ago, the Proton Preve and Proton Suprima were still in production, the Proton Persona was still based on the Gen2, Proton was 30 years old, and the thought of Proton making an SUV was absu
