With an estimated starting price of under RM 130,000, this 5-seater C-segment Chery Tiggo 7 Pro represents the latest in Chery Malaysia’s relentless product offensive on Malaysia’s growing SUV segment. The final price will only be confirmed closer to its launch date, but Chery Malaysia says deliveries will begin by end-May 2024, suggesting that the model will be launched within the next month or so. Despite the 'Pro' name, this is actually a 'Pro Max' model. In some markets like South Africa and

As part of Chery Malaysia’s three-pronged product strategy, the Chery Tiggo 7 will enter the hotly-contested C-segment SUV market, currently led by none other than the Proton X70. The second generation Chery Tiggo 7 Pro seen here made its global debut in 2020 and has since found its way to multiple countries across the globe. Right-hand drive (RHD) versions of the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro made its debut in South Africa back in May. In South Africa, the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro is priced between ZAR 437,900 (~

Japan has one of the highest fuel prices in the world. Despite it being home to many of the world’s biggest automotive names, Japan actively discourages the use of personal cars, especially in the city. To promote public transport – as any sustainably developed country should – Japan imposes two types of taxes on petrol – consumption tax (similar to GST) and petrol tax. Fuel prices in Japan now average around RM 5.40 per litre for regular petrol (RON 89 to RON 95), and RM 5.75 per litre for high

A few weeks ago, a former colleague of mine asked me to suggest a replacement for her car. She wanted a C-segment SUV so I suggested the usual suspects – the Proton X70, Honda CR-V, and Mazda CX-5. Then she asked, "What about the Nissan X-Trail?". Indeed, I have completely overlooked Nissan's own challenger to the highly competitive segment but why and should it even be considered?

On paper, the Toyota C-HR is extremely underwhelming and frankly unappetizing. Halogen projectors, 17-inch wheels, 1.8-litre naturally aspirated DVVT-I with measly 140 PS & 171 Nm just doesn’t quite fit the bill of a RM 150,000 SUV.
