The second-generation Volkswagen Tiguan has been on sale since 2016 and after 7 years, an all-new third generation of Volkswagen’s popular SUV model has just been officially previewed. Built on an enhanced MQB evo platform, the all-new Tiguan will be offered with 4 powerplants, namely turbodiesel (TDI), turbocharged petrol (TSI), mild-hybrid turbo petrol (eTSI), and for the first time ever, a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) system called eHybrid. No technical details on these powertrains have been announc

The all-new Geely Boyue L made its official debut last month, and now Geely has announced that production of the SUV has officially started. This would mean the SUV will go on sale in China very soon! Like its predecessor, the Boyue L is also assembled at Geely’s high-tech facility in Ningbo, Zhejiang.

Ever wondered what is the fuel consumption of the Proton X70 1.8T 2WD? We put Proton X70 through our WapCar fuel consumption test and here are our Proton X70 fuel consumption test results. The Proton X70 Premium 2WD sold in Malaysia is powered by a 1.8-litre turbocharged direct-injection 4-cylinder petrol engine linked to a 6-speed automatic transmission. A conventional 6-speed automatic and turbocharged engine is not the most ideal combination for fuel economy. The Proton X70's 1,695 kg kerb we

As part of the motoring media, we are required to jump into many cars and drive around to test out the real world practicality of cars available on the market. Sometimes we are given cars for more than the standard 3 days. Like the Volvo XC40 T5 that Volvo Malaysia has kindly loan me for video purposes for a total of 10 days.
