The Subaru XV might be a surprisingly decent choice of crossover in Malaysia despite the brand being a bit left field but it is due for a replacement. Though the facelift was just introduced in late 2021, the second generation has been around globally since 2017. The XV or Crosstrek as it is called in the United States is based on the Subaru Impreza hatchback that is also in need of a replacement which according to Japanese media, could be launched as early as 2023. The XV has become among the c

We've seen the various spyshots and leaks, and now we have a reveal date - the next-generation, all-new 2022 Lexus NX will be making its global debut on 12-June 2021, 11 AM Malaysian time. In-keeping with that, the Japanese carmaker has recently released some teaser images. There's a few design cues we can pick up, namely the new font used for the 'Lexus' script beneath the Toyota Harrier-esque taillights. Meanwhile, there's images of the fresh wheel design, as well as a darkened silhouette. As

As revealed in more detail at the media drive today, we know that the 2020 Proton X50 will ride better than the Geely Binyue, have safer tech than the BMW X1, and could be the cheapest car that parks itself. Now Proton has unveiled some interesting performance figures coming from the X50 and they are definitely impressive coming from the B-segment.

In a recent announcement by the Nissan-Renault-Mitsubishi alliance, it has been decided that Mitsubishi Motors will take the lead in the Alliance’s business in South East Asia, while Nissan will take a step back to focus on USA, China, and Japan. What this means is that the Alliance will adopt a so-called ‘Leader-Follower’ system, whereby each Alliance member will focus on developing products in markets they are strongest in.

For (new) old cars that are currently still on sale in Malaysia like the Mitsubishi ASX, there are two ways to look at them. The first would be “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, a method utilized by some manufacturers to continue selling an old model with little or no updates over the course of its lifespan.
