Malaysia is the second country in this region after Singapore to offer the BYD e6, a brand-new electric (EV) taxi. Like the MG 5 Wagon we posted a few weeks ago, this BYD e6 is also operated by MySuri Biz Tech, an online platform operator of the TeksiKu ride-hailing app. The BYD e6 seen here at the ongoing International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition & Conference Malaysia (IGEM) at KLCC is the second generation model that sits on the company’s e platform 3.0 and gets an electric motor that

Electric vehicles are not for everyone and it’s not just a question of income. Put aside the fact that 70 percent of new cars sold are below RM 100k, the bigger hurdle to overcome is the fact that electric vehicle ownership demands a lot of patience and dedication to the EV cause. EVs are not cars that you simply get in and drive, or decide to drive out of state on a whim, and you can’t make detours to your favourite eateries as you wish.

Volvo is intent on walking the talk when it comes to phasing out internal combustion engines (ICE). Following its plans to go fully electric by 2030, Volvo has unveiled another pure electric model, the Volvo C40 Recharge.

Volvo says this will be the first of an assault of pu

The perfect family car should be able to do the school run, the grocery run, endure the might of tiny eager hands, have tremendous amount of cubby space, provide safety for all occupants, and while doing all that, be a reliable car. A good family car, just like a good dog, becomes part of the family. Having tested the 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace Highline 1.4 TSI, I must say that it is a very attractive candidate for a family car. My only gripe with this car? There's no form of ADAS. The car

Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) just took the covers off the VW Tiguan Allspace – a 7-seater variant of the regular Tiguan. Like the regular 5-seater Tiguan, the larger 7-seater Tiguan Allspace is also locally-assembled (CKD) in Pekan, Pahang. Here’s five things we like about the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace, more specifically the top-of-the-line Tiguan Allspace R-Line. 1. Seven-seater but there's a catch Compared to the regular 5-seater Tiguan, the Tiguan Allspace has a wheelbase that i

A little more than a week ago, MINI organized a track event at Sepang Circuit. All John Cooper Works (JCW) models were lined up, from the 3-door Hatch to the Countryman, which I was in the pilot seat for the evening. It was actually the first time I’ve ever driven on the track. Having my track cherry popped in a MINI isn’t too shabby I suppose. Being a first timer, I went all the way to the back of the line and into the 306 PS MINI JCW Countryman. 2 reasons for this – so that I won’t hold up any
