It’s also in cars and the average vehicle has 30,000 parts. Out of those, one-third or 10,000 of those parts are made of plastic so even if the material is hazardous to the environment, we’re very much reliant on it.

So, another year older, another year marked with interesting (or forgettable) cars, and we'll be doing it all over again next year. SUVs will undoubtedly continue to play a greater focus here, so in this article – part one of three – we'll look at the possible non-luxury, non-EV SUVs that are very likely to launch in Malaysia in 2023.

Manufacturers seem to be filling in all the niches possible in their SUV lineup. Here we have the Mazda CX-5 and the Mazda CX-30, both are technically in the C-segment SUV market, and we've lined them up for a CX-5 vs CX-30 comparison. Well, some would consider the CX-30 to be a crossover but let’s not get into the whole SUV vs crossover thing just yet.
