If you want to see how polarized our world is, just mention these two words on the Internet – EVs and Toyota. Two opposing camps will march forward, ready to defend their faith. In one corner of the debate, you have the EV zealots. Theirs is a 'You are either with us or against us' message. They believe that hybrids are merely a tactic used by Toyota to delay a 100% transition to EVs. Make a down payment for an EV, plug it in to charge, and you are golden. At the other corner is the anti-EV resi

Toyota has announced that it will launch a new mild-hybrid version of its venerable Toyota Hilux in several markets starting mid-2024. Europe and Australia are confirmed. Unlike a two-motor full-hybrid (HEV) like a Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid, the mild-hybrid (MHEV) Toyota Hilux uses only a small belt-driven motor-generator to assist in acceleration and recover energy – which would otherwise be lost – when decelerating (coasting or braking). However, since this is not a full hybrid like the Toyo

In conjunction with the Sime Darby Auto ConneXion (SDAC) and upcoming Hari Raya celebrations, the company is offering an exclusive 2-year free service package to new customers of the Ford Ranger XL Double Cab and Ranger XLT for a limited time.

As far as appearances are concerned, few can make it more memorable than Akio Toyoda, who ventured onto the Queen Sirikit Convention Centre's expansive stage in a lowered, bespoilered, matte gray Toyota Hilux. On the surface it looks like an odd move. Photos from this event will be circulated a million times over, so why not show your latest and greatest? Car fans will know Mr. Toyoda and the company he helms don't quite follow conventions; these days this looks like not committing to a full-EV

For anything that is not a Toyota Hilux, making inroads in the pick-up truck segment is an uphill battle. Point at any random truck, and the responses will invariably be, "Oh, look at that Hailak." But, if any pick-up can change that this perception, it's the 2021 Isuzu D-Max 3.0 X-Terrain, the flagship of the range. So, is the all-new D-Max good enough to have people ditching the Hailak moniker and turn the segment on its head? Can it really out-truck the usual suspects like the Toyota Hilux Ro

The all-new 2021 Isuzu D-Max has been spotted again in Malaysia. This time, the upcoming pick-up truck was spotted at Westport, thus confirming that it is imported (CBU) from Thailand. If that is not enough, the Mitsubishi Triton parked beside it will further cement that notion, as the Triton is also imported from Thailand. The outgoing D-Max is locally-assembled (CKD) in Pekan, Pahang. Just like the earlier Suzuki Swift Sport spyshots, these photos were kindly provided by reader Emmanuel Shirle
