On Sunday (1 October 2023), Tesla launched an updated version of the Tesla Model Y in China with minor changes to the exterior and interior. It’s not as extensive as the Model 3 Highland which was announced for Malaysia last month. Indeed, the only changes seen on the updated Chinese-spec Model Y are redesigned black-painted 19-inch Gemini wheels for the base rear-wheel drive (RWD) and Long Range all-wheel drive (AWD) variants. Minor improvements added to the updated Model Y in China include a m

We talked about Kia’s SUV line-up last week, so let’s take a look at the SUVs from their parent company, Hyundai this week.

This week saw the media preview of the Proton X50. Some might be tired of all the hype and some might even be tired of waiting for the official price list. Having said that, we predicted that the price of the X50 could range between RM 80,000 to a little over RM 100,000. With that price, it is priced closely to Perodua’s SUV. No, not the D55L, that might be out in 2021. I’m talking about the Perodua Aruz. At RM 77,900 (inclusive of SST) for the top-of-the-range 1.5 AV, should you go for the rear
