Honda Automobile (Thailand) Co., Ltd. has revealed that the all-new 2022 Honda HR-V has already received more than 6,500 bookings within just one month of its launch. Unlike the previous generation HR-V, this all-new 2022 Honda HR-V is only available as a hybrid, at least in Thailand. The previous model’s 1.8-litre naturally aspirated i-VTEC engine has since been dropped in favour of a 1.5-litre two-motor e:HEV full-hybrid, the same engine that powers e:HEV variants of the 2020 Honda City and 20

The ongoing sales and service tax (SST) exemption / discount for new vehicles in Malaysia ends on 31-December 2021, so if you're buying a brand-new one – or in this case, a Honda – you need to have it registered by then to qualify for the rebate.

Interestingly, the range-topping Play variant is not the most popular choice, instead, it’s the Z varia

Things like what sets the X50 apart from its Geely Binyue/Coolray twins and how the new Proton SUV isn't a shrunk Volvo XC40. Questions on pricing are yet to be answered. Proton has clarified that the price list for the Proton X50 "has not been released or disclosed at this point of time". Which means that 'of

Geely Haoyue is now officially launched in China. To our surprise, the retail price is lower than the indicated price announced earlier.

It is paired to a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission pushing out 184 PS and 300 Nm of to

The newly launched 2020 Proton X70 CKD garnered a lot of attention due to its enhanced features and most importantly lower price tag. However, some netizens were harping on the fact that the improved 2020 X70 CKD is not the Geely Boyue Pro.
