Joining the ranks of carbon-reducing pick-up trucks is this new 2024 Isuzu D-Max Hi-Lander Mild Hybrid (MHEV) concept, that's just been unveiled in Thailand ahead of next week's Bangkok International Motor Show (BIMS). It's not a reality just yet, but the idea is sound and to be honest, it doesn't look that far off from production. Under the hood is the 1.9-litre Ddi Blue Power turbodiesel, paired to a small electric motor on the front of the engine and a 48V battery. Powertrain figures nor spec

Man and power tools cannot be separated, in the same line as Taylor Swift and songs about ex-boyfriends or on a more relatable note, Alfa Romeos and unreliability. If you’re wondering why that is, there’s a simple reason behind it and what led to the Isuzu D-Max 1.9L 4x2. Let’s hark back to the times of Neanderthals and the first rudimentary tools created. It was an expression of a man’s potential. Generally, as the tools evolved into more complicated variants, the potential expounded as well. E

Following Honda Malaysia’s announcement as the No.1 non-national passenger car brand in 2022, UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has released sales figures for the year. A total of 100,042 Toyota vehicles were sold which puts it as the best-selling non-national brand in Malaysia. Meanwhile, Honda sold over 80,200 units in Malaysia in 2022 which should place it behind Toyota. However, if you exclude the Hilux (27,198 units) and the Hiace (390 units) from Toyota’s numbers, Honda by technicality retains its n

There's a new 2022 Toyota Hilux variant in Malaysia and it should please workmen looking for a new ride: it's the 2.4E MT, priced from RM 110,880. The full price list in East and West Malaysia are as below: 2.4E MT: PM - RM 110,880 Sabah: RM 112,910.40 Sarawak: RM 113,040.60 2.4E AT: PM - RM 111,880 Sabah: RM 113,910.40 Sarawak: RM 114,043.60 Replacing the 2.4G MT, specifications of the 2.4E MT are identical to the 2.4E AT.

It looks like the Isuzu D-Max is not at risk of being upstaged by its sister-car the Mazda BT-50, as the D-Max will be launched in Malaysia ahead of the BT-50. WapCar.my understands that there is a direction by Mazda Motor for its overseas distributors to show respect to its partner Isuzu by granting Isuzu the privilege of launching the D-Max first. In Australia, the first export market for the all-new D-Max, Mazda Australia had intentionally delayed the launch of the BT-50 there by one month, a

Since we're all so busy caught up in the headwind of new cars, here's another one to add to the rush - the 2021 Nissan Navara NP300 has been seen in Thailand without any camera-tricking camoflague wrap. Wearing Nissan's 'V-motion' family face, the new Navara (which has been updated after 6 years) will have redesigned LED daytime-running lights (DRLs) - things we found out in the preview video linked at the end of the article. Powertrain changes for the upcoming Navara shouldn't be too major, whi
