As reported a few times, the upcoming Indonesia-bound 2023 Toyota Yaris Cross will be different to the existing model sold in developed markets like Europe, Japan, Australia, and Singapore. It also seems that the Indo-spec Yaris Cross is getting ready to start production by the first half of the year. Based on a scoop obtained by OtoDriver, the DNGA-based Yaris Cross is said to start production in June 2023. Furthermore, the source also informed the Indonesian automotive publication that the upc

Proton has broken through the 100,000 sales barrier for a third year in succession.

According to the latest info from the Japan Automobile Dealers Association (JADA), Toyota is dominating November sales with the Toyota Raize (the basis for the Perodua D55L) and Toyota Harrier both topping the SUV best-sellers chart.

During our first look at the 2020 Proton X50, Adrian noted that the manual tailgate is a little heavy to use, just like on the Geely Binyue donor car.

The Urban package bundles the powered tailgate, built-in toll reader, coil mats, and magnetic sunshades. All these for RM 3,500. The Utility package on the other hand, includes

Like the photo we debunked last week, there’s a good chance this photo is a fake. The biggest giveaway is the left stalk behind the steering wheel, as the wiper stalk is mirrored wrongly. Check out the Proton X70’s wiper stalk for comparison. Note that the Proton X70's wiper stalk is on the right side of the steering, not the left. Then there’s the somewhat
