For traditional fans of the Suzuki Jimny, the 5-door version which made its global debut in India seems to besmirch the hallowed legacy of this tiny yet capable off-roader. However, many buyers would appreciate the extra doors given to the plucky Suzy and it appears that it might be heading over to Indonesia. Our colleagues over at AutoFun ID reported that the Jimny 5-door is listed on its latest Motor Vehicle Sales Value (Nilai Jual Kenderaan Bermotor, NJKB) document. 4 variants of the Jimny 5-

If you want a clear example of the strong support enjoyed by the Honda WR-V, just look at the sales numbers – 62 percent of all Honda WR-V sold since its launch in July 2023, came from the highest specifications RS variant, which is priced from RM 107,900. RM 107,900 is quite a lot of money to pay for a locally assembled (CKD) 1.5-litre naturally aspirated car. For reference, a non-hybrid variant Honda City powered by the same 1.5-litre i-VTEC engine as the WR-V tops out at RM 99,900, so there i

If there’s a category for the quirkiest car on sale at any Car of the Year award ceremony, the Suzuki Jimny might sweep the category because no other car can match it. Of course, we’re excluding other kei-sized vans or cars on sale in recond dealers because those do not count in official award ceremonies. Despite looking small, the Malaysian-spec Jimny does not qualify as a kei vehicle. In fact, the model sold globally is called the Jimny Sierra in Japan with those wide wheelarches, bumpers, and

The chatter of a group of people is something Honda reveres. They call it waigaya, a neither Japanese nor English onomatopoeia coined by Soichiro Honda’s business partner, Takeo Fujisawa, that loosely translates to the hubbub of conversation. It’s very well documented too; executives will testify these flash meetings formed the backbone of their innovations and success. Certainly lots of that was happening among customers last week, as the 2023 Honda WR-V kicked off its pre-launch nationwide pre

The Malaysia-bound Honda WR-V has received the full 5-star crash test rating by ASEAN NCAP, putting it on par with rivals such as the Perodua Ativa and Toyota Raize. ASEAN NCAP crash tested the top-spec RS variant with Honda Sensing under the latest 2021-2025 protocol, whereby the little WR-V scored 77.07 points out of a maximum 100 points. In Adult Occupant Protection, the Honda WR-V scored 27.41 points out of a maximum 32 points, as the SUV only managed to provide adequate protection for the c

With its retro looks and diminutive stature, the Suzuki Jimny isn’t just some plucky lil’ off-roader, it’s a trendy fashion statement on 4 wheels with a long waiting list everywhere it is sold. If you’re looking for a used one, tough luck, as they can be costlier than a new unit. In Indonesia, the Jimny was launched in 2018 and it became a massive hit despite its high price ranging from IDR 409.5 million to IDR 425.1 million (~RM 123k-128k). Sales were so overwhelming that the waiting list for t
