The facelifted 2024 Renault Captur has been unveiled for the European market, featuring a host of tech and powertrain updates, as well as a few nip and tucks to keep styling fresh. Now if it looks like a different Captur than what you’re used to seeing in Malaysia, that’s because it is. This new Captur you see here is the facelifted 2nd-generation model which was introduced in Europe in 2019. Malaysia – and a few other developing markets – still get the 1st-generation facelifted model that was f

The 1.5-litre Honda HR-V e:HEV RS is separated from its chief rival, the 1.8-litre Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid, by just slightly over RM 800. The Honda sells for RM 140,800 while the Toyota asks for RM 139,991. Ignore the difference in engine sizes because the 1.5-litre Honda hybrid is boosted by a much more powerful 96 PS / 253 Nm motor, versus the 1.8-litre Toyota’s 72 PS / 163 Nm motor. Toyota’s hybrid is based on the concept of an ‘engine first, motor second’, while Honda believes in the opp

As the name suggests, the free maintenance package provides all new Peugeots sold from here onwards with the scheduled maintenance from the manufactu

Called the Icon, the second B-Segment Modular Architecture-based (BMA) SUV from Geely has been unveiled. The BMA platform also underpins the Geely Binyue, which is likely to be the Proton X50. The Icon’s exterior design takes a different route from previous Geely SUV models towards a more squarish approach. Though some features like the clamshell bonnet and roofline bears a resemblance to the Range Rover Evoque. Geely’s styling identity, the expanding cosmos can be seen on the grille and from th

On display at the Mazda booth at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show (TMS) is the all-new 2020 Mazda CX-30, the brand’s new compact SUV that slots between the Mazda CX-3 and Mazda CX-5. The stylish CX-3, while marketed as a crossover/SUV, is actually not as practical as one would expect from cars of this segment. Essentially a jacked-up Mazda 2, the CX-3 has quite a tight cabin that doesn’t fare well in family duties. To fill in the gap for customers looking for a compact SUV that can accommodate the fami
