Sime Darby Auto ConneXion (SDAC) launched a new Special Edition Ford Everest Wildtrak today. It’s fourth Everest variant to join the Malaysian line-up, after Sport, Trend, and Titanium. The imported-from-Thailand (CBU), Ranger-based 7-seater SUV is priced from RM338,888. Mechanically, the Everest Wildtrak remains unchanged from the regular Everest. It’s still powered by a 2.0-litre Bi-turbo diesel that makes 210 PS / 500 Nm, paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission with Part-time 4x4. What’s

To say the 2023 Honda WR-V is making waves in Malaysia is hardly inaccurate; over 2,200 of the dainty SUV has found new homes within the first month of sales.

Perhaps in a move to keep the Rocky and Raize at the top-20 position in the sales chart (remember that the models were launched in late-2019), Japanese publication Mag-X recently reported that Daihatsu is working on yet an

Perhaps the biggest news surrounding the launch of the 2021 Toyota Harrier is the demise of the 8AR-FTS turbocharged power unit. One way or another, some will moan about this, but there are solid reasons why Toyota did this. At RM 249k, the Toyota Harrier asks quite a sizeable chunk of your hard-earned money. Interestingly, the Lexus UX occupies a similar price range to the Harrier (RM 236k - 290k). Will this cause some sort of cannibalisation within the brands? Let's delve further and have a lo

So here it is - we've taken a gander at the Malaysian-spec Hyundai Kona, and Hyundai really, really wants you to think Kona = good times. Part of that effort is putting on a beach-themed plinth and plastering fun adjectives everywhere! Interesting... How much of that it successfully pulls off though, you tell us in the comments. On with it then... Exterior As you know, Hyundai Sime Darby Motors (HSDM) will be bringing in the pre-facelift version, so the styling is a little busier compared to the

Volvo Cars and Geely announced that they have plans to create a standalone business focused on developing the next generation combustion engines and hybrid powertrains. The new arrangement is to allow Volvo Cars to focus on developing electric drivetrains. Volvo has high hopes that by 2025, 50% of the brand’s sales volume will be fully electric. This latest development comes in line with Volvo Cars’ ambitions to include a hybrid and full-electric powertrain for all their models. For Geely, the p
