If you have RM 250k or thereabouts for a premium SUV, frankly you'd be spoiled for choice, Mercedes-Benz GLA and BMW X1 being the most obvious candidates. But how about a Japanese face-off for today? We're talking about the Toyota Harrier and Lexus UX. Yes they are cars from different segments but in terms of price, they are perilously close to each other. For this comparison, we pit the Toyota Harrier 2.0 Luxury (one variant only, RM 249,706) against the Lexus UX Urban (RM 243,888) as they are

The popularity of the Perodua Ativa’s donor car in Indonesia has been quite overwhelming, to say the least. Waiting periods for the Daihatsu Rocky and the Toyota Raize are said to go on for months, even as long as 9 months.

With at least five models confirmed to be launched in October, and another five more that are also very likely to join the growing list, October is definitely the busiest month of this year. That’s a nice problem to have considering the slump that the industry is in. Cumulative new vehicle sales in Malaysia for the first half of 2020 was down by over 40 percent compared to the same six-month period last year. The all-new 2020 Honda City, Nissan Almera, Proton X50, Hyundai Kona and Mitsubishi Xpa

The Malaysian crossover segment is looking very exciting with the national carmakers pitting out against one another. In the blue corner, we have the Proton X50 and in the red corner, lies the Perodua D55L. Which will come up on top in features and equipment? Both crossovers are not really the same in size or category for that matter, but the one common denominator between the two is that they are definitely the most-anticipated cars to be launched in 2020 (or could it be 2021?) We know so far t
