If you've sat inside the Perodua Ativa, one thing must've stuck out to you - the placement of the central locking buttons. Unlike most cars that you might be familiar with, the Ativa's central locking buttons are situated on the centre tunnel, right next to the handbrake lever. This is vastly different from the arrangement in its donor car, the JDM Daihatsu Rocky which has no buttons - not even on the driver's door. Actually, that's one of Daihatsu's steps to further 'Malaysianise' the Ativa fro

Think of a 7-seater and chances are you’re thinking of a family-friendly MPV or a crossover SUV. They might be boring to some but trust us, there are a few gems in this category that were launched in 2020. These 7-seater cars can be very practical and comfortable for the family but at the same time, some definitely surprise us the moment we get behind the wheel.

Currently, only the Proton X70 is a new product. All other Proton models have yet to be replaced by a new generation model. In an interview with The Edge, Dr. Li said that ever since Geely became Proton’s partner in 2017, the company has been focusing on executing a 10-year product development plan, which

A photo recently surfaced on social media, purporting that the 2020 Proton X50 will be priced from RM 75,800 to RM 103,800. But that is not true. The alleged photo is a screengrab from a video (which we won’t link here, for obvious reasons) that is speculating how the Proton X50 stacks up against the Perodua D55L.
