That accolade belongs to the Toyota RAV4 and Wildlander (RAV4's Chinese twin), with 1.07 million units sold globally in 2020, while the Honda CR-V and Breeze (CR-V's Chinese equivalent) sits in second position. In fact, according to this ranking by carindustryanalysis, Japanese SUVs make up four of the top five global C-SUV sales positions, which consists of: 1st - T

The all-new second generation 2022 Lexus NX, now riding on the TNGA-K platform that also underpins the latest generation Toyota Harrier (plus Camry and RAV4 too), has just made its global debut over the weekend.

Shortly after introducing the X70, Proton announced their intentions to locally-assemble the X70 by the end of 2019, and they have succeeded in doing so. A couple of months after trials runs started in June 2019, the first few units of the Malaysian-made Proton X70s have started to roll of the new production line in Tanjung Malim. Will it be cheaper?
