Camouflaged test vehicles of the Proton X50 and Proton Proton X70 have been spotted on the roads of Thailand. Though both the X50 and X70 have been spotted there before, this is the first time both models have been photographed alongside each other. The images that surfaced on the Civic FE Thailand 2021 Facebook page visibly show the Premium or Premium X variant of the X70 (judged by the 19-inch wheels) and Flagship X50 variant (by the dual-tone black roof and rear spoiler) are as per earlier si

Last week, Mazda USA announced that it will be dropping the Mazda CX-3 and Mazda 6 from its local line-up, and didn’t announce any replacement models to fill the void. Mazda didn’t do give any reasons for the discontinuation of these two models, merely saying “As consumer interests continue to evolve, Mazda will discontinue CX-3 and Mazda 6 for the 2022 model year for the US market.” Naturally, this raised questions pertaining the two models’ future in Malaysia. We have now received confirmation

Last year in June, the government announced a decision to place sales tax (SST) exemption for cars – cut sales tax on CKD cars, while offering 50% sales tax discount for CBU models as part of the Penjana stimulus package.

So, if you’re interested to buy a new car, now might be the right time to take advantage

Ahead of its imminent launch (you can register your interest as well), we managed to get our hands on a Malaysian-spec leaflet for the 2021 Toyota Harrier. As we previously feared, yes it will no longer be powered by the 8AR-FTS turbocharged 2.0-litre. Will we miss it? Time will tell. In its place is Toyota's Dynamic Force 2.0-litre naturally aspirated 4 pot (173 PS, 203 Nm) which is paired to a Direct Shift CVT transmission. Basically, this powertrain combo is identical to the one pulling duty

Continuing our coverage of the 2020 Guangzhou Autoshow, we're bringing you live photos of the 2021 Geely Xingyue! This is a car many Malaysians are excited about - it's unique, looks the part, and being manufactured by Geely, many are hypothesising that it could be the next Proton model. That's still rather far-fetched as Geely has licenced only three models to Proton so far - the Boyue (Proton X70), Binyue (Proton X50) and one more touted to be based on the Jiaji MPV. Geely says that the fastba
