While the whole nation is abuzz with the Proton X50, there are some who would probably be more interested in the upcoming Perodua D55L. The still-unnamed SUV based on the Toyota Raize/Daihatsu Rocky will be Perodua’s successor to their previous SUVs, the Kembara and the Nautica. For now, we’ll take an off-road trip in the Kembara.

Back in 2016, the Toyota Hilux made headlines when it tipped on two wheels while undergoing a so-called ‘moose test’ conducted by Swedish automotive media Teknikens Varld. This is the second time the Toyota Hilux has failed the test, as the previous generation Toyota Hilux also had the same problem. In September 2019, Teknikens Varld repeated the same test with the latest Toyota RAV4, and the results weren’t very good either. So what’s wrong with Toyota cars? But first, what is a moose test? Swe
