Yesterday, a BYD Atto 3 caught fire while plugged in to a DC fast charger outside a supermarket in Thailand. The car is still using its temporary red registration plate, which in Thailand, means that the car is less than 6 months old (owners of new cars have a 6-month grace period to register their car). The fire and rescue department came and put out the fire, which originated from the frontal part of the vehicle – where the inverter, coolant piping, 12V auxiliary batttery, and high voltage cab

Knowing what works and what doesn't – and addressing the latter – is an all-important skill; we'd argue it's even more so in our cutthroat world of cars. Changing the recipe of a product to better face buyers' needs is commendable, and that's testament in the brilliance of the 2022 Peugeot 3008. Exterior – Rage against conventional If you do remember the first-gen 3008, they're probably not all nice reasons: it looked pudgy, and fit neither into any SUV or MPV moulds. Though there was a small fo

When the new 2022 Proton X70 was launched earlier today, the headlining changes were the 1.5-litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine. What not many people notice is the price hike from the pre-facelift model of a little over 4 percent. Back when the locally assembled (CKD) X70 was launched in early 2020, Proton not only added more variants and features to the car but also dropped its price to make the C-segment SUV even more affordable. As the X70 is locally assembled (CKD), the SUV was eligibl

Perhaps one of the more curious models we’ve came across is the GAC Trumpchi GS3 Power. It took the team several hours trying to decipher the model when the spyshot came in. Now, we received a video of the said GS3 Power, this time giving us a glance at the SUV’s interior. While the 7-second-long video isn’t long by any means, it does reveal that at least one variant will receive an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, as shown above. Keep in mind that the vehicle in question is the lower spe

With the imminent arrival of the next-generation Honda HR-V, it appears that the new model won't be offered in the US. Instead, the US will be getting its own model, as confirmed by Motor1 in a statement issued by American Honda Motor Co. Inc. In a statement sent to the publication, American Honda said, “The development of a successor to the Honda HR-V for the U.S. market is underway. This new HR-V will be designed to meet the distinct needs of U.S. customers, and will differ from the Honda Veze

In one way or the other, Mazda has established themselves as quite the premium Japanese automaker that’s suited for people making heart-led decisions - case in point being the striking Mazda 3. That said, its crossover stablemate - the Mazda CX-3 - is getting a little long in the tooth now since its introduction in 2015. With Mazda typically refreshing their models every 5-6 years, Japanese media have begun speculating on the next-gen CX-3. The current CX-3 is based on the Mazda 2, and the updat
