Toyota is seeking to replace the popular but ageing Toyota Rush with an extended version of the Toyota Yaris Cross but there is a huge probability that it would be different from the SUV that is currently available in Japan, Europe, Singapore, and Australia. Though the rendering in the cover photo envisions what a 7-seater Yaris Cross could look like, sources told Indonesian automotive publication, OtoDriver, that the elongated Yaris Cross is currently undergoing testing in the archipelago and i

The police force in Japan has a very extensive fleet of cars, ranging from a regular Toyota Prius all the way to a Lexus LC 500. Recently, the Yamanashi Prefecture police force added a Toyota Raize to their fleet, as seen in this Twitter post.

This week saw the media preview of the Proton X50. Some might be tired of all the hype and some might even be tired of waiting for the official price list. Having said that, we predicted that the price of the X50 could range between RM 80,000 to a little over RM 100,000. With that price, it is priced closely to Perodua’s SUV.

Okay, settle down everyone. The all-new 2020 Proton X50 is finally here and though there are still some naysayers who wished for Proton to stop rebadging existing products, we have to admit that the car looks set to be another runaway success for Proton. It is based on the Geely Binyue (or Coolray as it is known in the Philippines) and while some might think that, “Oh, it’s just a rebadged Chinese crossover with a few bits of Proton badging” or even more optimistically, “It’s a Volvo with a Prot

We’ve seen plenty of spy shots of the highly anticipated 2020 Proton X50 but most of the photos were taken of the car’s rear-end. We've even spied the car right next to the Proton X70 as well. Here’s another spotting of the X50 but with the clearest front-end photo ever. From the photo, we can see that the X50’s daytime running lights (DRL) will be different from the bigger Proton X70’s shape. Instead of a stop inverted L, the X50’s lights will surround the bottom part of the headlights instead.

(Honda HR-V price and specs | Gallery) The B-segment Honda HR-V was once the king of the mountain but these days, it has to contend with the new reality that the larger C-segment Proton X70 has muscled into its territory. For many consumers, it's an easy decision to make. Consumers shop by price and academic concerns like demarcation between vehicle segments and tax advantages enjoyed by the Proton, don't matter in their purchase decision. But don't brush off the Honda HR-V yet. We have sampled
