Signs of the 2023 Proton X70 facelift launching in Malaysia are becoming more apparent, as latest manufacturing data by the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) shows the current, pre-facelift model's production slowly dwindling to a halt. Earlier this month we reported that the 1.8-litre variants have stopped production, and the 1.5-litre variants seem to be following suit – of which, each variant is only produced in two-digit figures for a cumulative 136 units made in November 2023. It's not

While speaking at the launch of the 2023 Mazda CX-30 CKD, Executive Chairman of Bermaz Auto Berhad, Dato Seri Ben Yeoh said that the backlog of orders for Mazda now numbers up to 7,000 units across all models.

Following the crossover in second place is the MG ZS with 6,378 units sold. The MG was the Kingdom’s best-selling sub-compact SUV in the same period last year

Once the forays of the wealthy, sports utility vehicles (SUVs) are now commonplace. It's hard not to take notice, and recently a reader got in touch with us through our WapCar Forum asking what's the best sub-RM 150k SUV they can buy in Malaysia. And since we're all about the details, the cars we list here take into account the extension of SST exemption until 30-June 2021. Oh and do take note that the government's plan to revise the existing Open Market Value (OMV) calculations has been shelved

Whether you like it or not, there's no denying that the de facto B-segment SUV in Malaysia is the Honda HRV. Until the first-ever Toyota Corolla Cross arrives next year, the Honda HR-V will likely be sitting rather comfortably on its throne. But will Hyundai fare better? We reckon that the upcoming Hyundai Kona has all the right ingredients to challenge the Honda HR-V at its own game. A quick disclaimer: for the purpose of this review, we were flown to New Zealand to sample the Hyundai Kona. As
