Japanese automotive giants are set to channel a total of THB 150 billion baht (~RM 20 billion) into Thailand over the next five years, bolstering the nation's shift towards electric vehicle (EV) production, according to a government spokesperson on Monday, reports Reuters. In this substantial investment commitment, Toyota and Honda are poised to contribute approximately THB 50 billion each (~RM 6.7 billion), Isuzu will invest THB 30 billion (~RM 4 billion), and Mitsubishi Motors will allocate TH

The automotive industry is now buckling under the pressure of rising cost of raw materials and logistics, as well as shortage of semiconductor parts and labour. Since June, several manufacturers have already announced price hikes unrelated to the resumption of SST (though for ease of transition, the two factors are grouped into one price adjustment). Toyota for example, has already announced a circa RM 3,000 increase in prices of the Toyota Hilux, which as a commercial vehicle, never qualified f

To call the all-new 2022 Honda HR-V the most anticipated model in Malaysia might be a bit of an understatement as the upcoming B-segment crossover is expected to have a long waiting list. Though bookings have been opened and a few previews were made at selected dealers, Honda Malaysia has yet to announce a launch date for the third-gen HR-V but these photos might clue in to how near that would be. A few units have been spotted on car transporters nationwide that might be on the way to dealers. T

If there’s one word to describe the Proton X50, that word would be hype. So much so that even before the model was launched here in Malaysia, hype was already in full gear. By the time it was launched in Malaysia in late-2020, it rocketed up to Proton’s sales charts, overtaking the Proton X70 in the process. Fast forward to February 2021, Proton sold 3,345 units of the X50, achieving the title as the highest monthly sales for any SUV in Malaysian history in the process. Also Read: Proton X50 set

In Malaysia, I dare say that the second-generation Honda HR-V is as common a sight as a Perodua Myvi (any generation) on our roads. And I mean it in no bad way at all. As the time it was launched, the HR-V ticked almost every conceivable box from a buyer's perspective. Svelte looks, a well-packaged and cavernous interior, and plenty of features for the money. With the all-new third-generation set to make its way here, we ask ourselves this: Is the current Honda HR-V still good value for money in

While the world (well, at least in this part of the world) is reeling from the global launch of the all-new 2021 Honda HR-V, we must say that it looks very drastic and bigger than the outgoing model. Some might say it resembles a Mazda at the front, which must be a compliment. However, according to an interview with Japanese media, the all-new HR-V’s bigger size is merely an illusion. Wait, so it only looks big? Granted, we’re only looking at photos rather than up close, so what’s the deal with
