The stream of bad news just keeps coming. After Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, and Kia, Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia has also announced price hikes for the most important model in its line-up, the 7-seater Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace. The locally assembled (CKD) Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace is now more expensive by between RM 14k to RM 31k, depending on variant.

Until the first-ever Toyota Corolla Cross arrives next year, the Honda HR-V will likely be sitting rather comfortably on its throne. But will Hyundai fare better? We reckon that the upcoming Hyundai Kona has all the right ingredients to challenge the Honda HR-V at its own game.

Following the debut of the Geely Coolray (Proton X50 to us) in the Philippines, the Hangzhou-based company has teased its next model, the Azkarra.
