Cambodia is one of the most underdeveloped countries in Southeast Asia but it is the first left-hand drive (LHD) market and possibly the first market outside of Indonesia to launch the DNGA-based Toyota Yaris Cross ahead of even Thailand. Launched alongside the Perodua Axia’s twin, the Toyota Wigo, the Cambodian-spec Yaris Cross is only offered with one variant, the petrol-powered 1.5-litre D-CVT which is priced from USD 37,500 (~RM 175k).

Numerous B-segment SUVs were introduced prior to the Honda HR-V (Ford EcoSport, Suzuki SX4, Suzuki S-Cross, Peugeot 2008), but none would come close to the success of the HR-V.

These first owners of what is technically Malaysia's first-ever hybrid car will be participating in a two-pronged feasibility study, in which the first is to understand group driving behaviour of a hybrid vehicle in populated locations in the country, namely in the Klang Valley, Penang, and Johor Bahru.

Honda Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. has released a new accessory for the Honda HR-V and Honda BR-V, which is a 360-degree camera. However, note that while the optional accessory is available on every HR-V variant (model years 2019, 2020, 2021), but it's limited only to the range-topping V variant for the BR-V. The reason is simple - the BR-V 1.5 E doesn't come with a infotainment display. The 360-degree camera retails for RM 3,300 for both models. Second update for Honda HR-V in 2021 Notably, this is the s

Last week, Peugeot unveiled its latest logo and brand identity. The new logo is Peugeot’s 11th logo since the company’s inception in 1850.
