Hybrid cars are not new to Malaysians, seeing that they have been available in Malaysia for roughly 15 years with the introduction of the FD-generation Honda Civic Hybrid. And today, hybrids are even more popular, as manufacturers like Honda, Toyota, and Nissan all offer at least one hybrid model in their line-up here in Malaysia. More recently, Perodua has thrown their hat in the ring with the 2022 Perodua Ativa Hybrid. On one of the presentation slides that Perodua showed, the second national

Vying for the top of Thailand’s compact SUV sales in 2022 are the Honda HR-V and the Toyota Corolla Cross. It has been a hotly contested fight between the two SUVs but every month, only one of them will take the crown and in July, it is the HR-V’s turn to take the title. According to Thailand sales data, 2,410 units of the HR-V were sold in the Kingdom in the seventh month of the year. That’s the HR-V’s highest monthly sales figure in the year so far which translates to nearly 40% market share.

Chery is coming to Malaysia and making quite a mark online with its Facebook page constantly being updated and a group that’s dedicated to the Omoda 5. However, it remains to be seen when exactly they will make a return here but there are two models which are pretty much locked down – the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro and Tiggo 8 Pro. The Tiggo 7 Pro is a C-segment SUV that will be a close rival to the Proton X70 and Honda CR-V, two of the most popular models in the segment. Meanwhile, the Tiggo 8 Pro acts

From being a dependable support car for our video shoots to helping deliver aid to flood victims, our very own Perodua Ativa has been steadily racking up the miles. Approaching the 1-year mark, we have recorded a total mileage in excess of 18k km, and it’s now time to give our "Cik Tiva" some TLC. We scheduled our service appointment with the efficient people at Perodua Service Sungai Penchala. As always, everything went according to plan and Cik Tiva was hoisted shortly after handing over the k

There are only two 1.0-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged cars to choose from in Malaysia right now – The Perodua Ativa and the Nissan Almera. Unfortunately, the 1.0-litre turbo engine for the Honda City never made it here. Sharing an almost similar engine and both utilising CVT, the Ativa and Almera have pretty much the same powertrain. However, they aren’t exactly equal – one rides better than the other, uses less fuel, and doesn’t vibrate as much. But which one is the better of the two? Well, to f

It was one of the worst-selling Perodua models ever, but the Perodua Nautica wasn’t a problematic car. It was the successor to the popular Kembara and Perodua was riding on a wave of successful models then as the second “national” carmaker began to overtake Proton as the best-selling make in Malaysia. To call the Nautica the worst Perodua model because of its lacklustre sales is pretty unfair considering what actually went wrong. But before we dive right into what went wrong with the D55L’s pred
