On the sidelines of the 2022 Perodua Ativa Hybrid handover to customers in Kuala Lumpur today, Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad said that over "600 units" were applied for. "For now, there's roughly 600 applicants [for this model]," he said to reporters at the event. This is double the total 300 units of Ativa Hybrid allocated for Malaysians, all of which have been spoken for anyway. That's certainly a good start to Perodua's electrification jour

When it hit Malaysia in April 2021, the fully-imported (CBU Japan) Toyota Harrier (XU80) was a model that hardly got time to warm any showroom floors: UMW Toyota Motor sold out their entire allocation for the year in just a week. It's hardly surprising news, once you've actually seen one up close or get behind the wheel of one. Priced from RM 249,706 (inclusive SST discount, valid until 30-June 2022), buyers get a well-specced car that is beautiful inside and out. But looks alone don't always se

All-new 2022 Honda HR-V spotted in Malaysia Turbochanged engine hinted i-MMD hybrid is also going to be offered The all-new 2022 Honda HR-V is perhaps one of the most highly-anticipated B-segment SUVs to launch in Malaysia, and the model has been spotted prowling our roads recently. Courtesy of a WhatsApp group, the all-new Honda HR-V was seen on a highway, conveniently with a Proton X50 in front. Thus far, Honda Malaysia has confirmed that two new models are slated to be launched within this ye

It’s not every day you see a dormant runway on Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), no thanks to a global pandemic. Our friends over at AutoBuzz.my, GC Mah (Adrian's ex-boss) managed to secure one of the runways for their ongoing Drag Series on YouTube. When they gave us a call to feature our Perodua Ativa in one of the races, I jumped onto the request. After all, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to hoon around on KLIA’s runway tarmac. In episode 4 of Drag Series, they pitched the

Nine months after going on sale in Japan, the all-new Toyota Harrier has finally arrived in Malaysia. This photo was shared by our reader VT, who spotted a trailer with 6 units of lightly masked SUVs. The C-pillar and silhouette clearly mark it out as the TNGA-K platform 2021 Toyota Harrier. The latest generation Harrier will ditch the previous model’s 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder 8AR-FTS VVT-iW for a 2.0-litre Dynamic Force M20A-FKS naturally aspirated 4-cylinder (172 PS / 203 Nm). There’s

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
