Governments in the US and the Europe Union claim that China is subsidizing the production of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) to the point that there is no production excess capacity, leading to ‘dumping’ of Chinese BEVs in export markets. There is some truth in that claim, but like many complex subjects, a bit more nuances is required to give an honest answer. Despite accusations of dumping cheap BEVs overseas, world No.1 BEV and PHEV manufacturer BYD is selling its cars in export markets at fa

The best SUVs in Malaysia SUVs, or Sports Utility Vehicles, are a common sight (and getting even more common by the day!) on our roads these days. This class of vehicle is so in-demand, that even luxury automakers are making them, like the Bentley Bentayga, and the Lamborghini Urus. However, in this list, the sky is not the limit and we have decided to only look at SUVs under RM150k. Here’s what we think are the best SUVs in Malaysia going into 2022. Proton X70 The Proton X70 almost literally fl

It has been 5 weeks with our Perodua Ativa and it has clocked over 3,000 km on the odometer. Cik Tiva has proven to be a practical car for the WapCar team, and there is not much for us to complain about. Unfortunately, we have some unpleasant news. Remember that rattling sound that we had before? Well, it is back to haunt us, and we are not enjoying it. If you've been following our updates on Cik Tiva, you would know that we’ve had this problem fixed earlier this month (April). The Perodua servi

Now that the Proton X50 has officially gone on sale, the next highly-anticipated model from our quasi-national car maker is the 2021 Perodua Ativa. With estimated prices topping out at the RM 73,400 mark, the top-spec Perodua Ativa 1.0 AV comfortably undercuts other well-established rivals such as the Proton X50 1.5T Standard and Toyota Vios 1.5 J. Why compare the base spec Toyota Vios and Proton X50 against the top-spec Perodua Ativa you ask? Simple, seeing that all three cars cost below the RM

Just yesterday we saw the leaked patent images of the upcoming all-new 2021 Honda HR-V. In anticipation of its global debut next week (18 February), we spent some time colouring between the lines of the patent images. Compared to the current Honda HR-V, the patent image displays a more angular overall look. Changes include a more prominent grille, door-mounted side mirrors and a sleeker roof line. Details on the all-new 2021 Honda HR-V’s powertrain are still vague, but we are expecting a 1.5-lit

Ferrari F8 Spider At a private preview, Naza Italia unveiled the Ferrari F8 Spider in Malaysia, which is a South East Asia debut along with the introduction of the Ferrari 812 GTS. The open-top supercar from Maranello is the successor to the 488 Spider, with more power and less weight than before. Visually, it looks identical to the F8 Tributo apart from the obvious convertible roof. The retractable hard top (RHT) takes just 14 seconds to complete its task from either state, as long as the car i
