Fully digital instrument clusters in modern cars give you the choice between a few different display themes. Now, Toyota is jumping aboard that wagon together with its leasing arm, Kinto, in introducing new 2 new design themes for the new AH40 Toyota Alphard and Vellfire, allowing customers to add the 2 themes to the default 4 already available. The purpose of Kinto Factory is a service that offers Toyota owners the opportunity to retrofit their cars with Toyota features after leaving the factor

If you want a clear example of the strong support enjoyed by the Honda WR-V, just look at the sales numbers – 62 percent of all Honda WR-V sold since its launch in July 2023, came from the highest specifications RS variant, which is priced from RM 107,900. RM 107,900 is quite a lot of money to pay for a locally assembled (CKD) 1.5-litre naturally aspirated car. For reference, a non-hybrid variant Honda City powered by the same 1.5-litre i-VTEC engine as the WR-V tops out at RM 99,900, so there i

Akio Toyoda wants you to know just how different the 2023 Toyota Alphard and Vellfire AH40 are between each other, despite them being developed on the same platform. Nonetheless, the approach in design and engineering for the duo couldn’t be more different, and their chief engineer regards these latest models as the greatest ever. An easy way to sum up the approach is the brief given, “One a pleasure to ride, the other a joy to drive.” That led to the strikingly different character infused durin

The Proton CamPro engine, since its inception in 2004 in the Proton Gen.2, has the recognition of being the only Malaysian-developed engine to-date. That alone could have been a remarkable achievement for Proton, but there’s a catch – CamPro isn’t exactly known for its fuel consumption. Over the years, the CamPro engine received numerous updates and improvements, including the CamPro CPS in 2008, turbocharged CamPro CFE in 2011, and CamPro VVT in 2014 – all of which suffered from poor fuel consu

It looks like Honda is setting up quite a competitor for the Perodua D55L. There are plans for the 2022 Honda WR-V to be launched in Indonesia to spice up the B-segment SUV market. The current-gen WR-V is sold in a few developing markets including Brazil, South Africa, and India. As such, this 5-seater BR-V/jacked-up Jazz could work for the Indonesian market. We have reported previously on Daihatsu planning to launch the Rocky in Indonesia. The Rocky is, of course, the basis for the upcoming Per
