The sun begins to set on the 2023 Mazda CX-8, as Creative 311 reports the model will be discontinued "around August", citing dealer-shared information. Hence, the 7-seater blank space will be filled by the 2023 Mazda CX-80; a similar three-row SUV that's positioned higher up as the brand's flagship model. This model is earmarked to make its global debut later this year, possibly at the Japan Mobility Show 2023 that runs from 26-October to 5-November 2023. How would this affect Malaysia? It's lik

The Proton X90 appears to be inching closer to the production version as this recent spyshot by Nextrift shows off its ‘Infinite Weave’ grille and judging by the wiper marks on the front windshield, its orientation points to a right-hand drive (RHD) configuration. Previous sightings were not seen with the ‘Infinite Weave’ grille and from what we’re able to discern, were predominantly in left-hand drive (LHD).

UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has announced on Facebook that the 2021 Toyota Fortuner facelift and 2021 Toyota Innova facelift will be launched online on 2-February 2021 at 8.30 pm. The virtual launch will be held via Toyota Malaysia’s Facebook page and YouTube channel. Both models had their bookings opened earlier this month and the siblings to the Hilux are set to be Toyota’s first model launches of 2021. Both facelifts of the Fortuner and Innova debuted in 2020 in Thailand and Indonesia respectivel

By and large, the Honda BR-V is a car that we’d happily recommend to families. It’s pretty well-built, seats 7, and features Honda’s famed interior packaging. Combine that with a solid powertrain package, and you can see why the BR-V is such a hit with its audience. 3 years on from its launch (the facelift model remains just as popular), the Honda BR-V remains a very compelling choice for buyers looking who want a no-frills, reliable and value-for-money motoring experience.
