Geely has unveiled the Geely Milky Way L7 (银河L7) in China and it is on display at the ongoing 2023 Shanghai Auto Show. Milky Way is a new subsidiary under the larger Geely Group that focuses on NEVs (New Energy Vehicles, Chinese term for electrified vehicles) in China. Right off the bat, the Milky Way L7 does share some similarities with the recently-launched Geely Boyue L. That’s because the new Milky Way L7 sits on the e-CMA platform, similar to the CMA platform that underpins the Boyue L – a

The European Union (EU), especially in the more developed Western and Northern Europe regions are hot spots for battery EV sales. The European trade bloc is committed to phasing out sales of new internal combustion engine (ICE) cars and vans by 2035, with a fine print that allows for a review by 2026. Boosted by generous incentives, high fuel prices denting the appeal of ICE cars, and a political climate that lends a very positive image to battery EVs, sales of ICE cars have been dropping fast,

If the Perodua Myvi is dubbed the King of Malaysian roads, the title of Queen might belong to the second-generation Honda HR-V. The compact B-SUV is regarded as the pioneer of the growing and ever so popular segment when it was introduced in Malaysia in 2015. After six years on sale and becoming a trendsetter, Honda Malaysia is about to bring in the all-new third-gen HR-V (on sale in Japan as the Vezel).

The 3-cylinder engine is set to remain as the mainstay for Proton and Geely cars. In a recent video released by Geely Group, CEVT’s Director of Powertrain Strategy at CEVT Dr. Hakan Sandquist shared that the Geely Group will continue to improve the 1.5TD engine – the base engine used by the Proton X50 MPI and TGDI – to meet future exhaust emissions regulations. “We are working on the next generation 3-cylinder engines, so we will stick to this kind of concept,” said Sandquist.

Hot on the heels of the introduction of the 2021 Volvo XC40 T5 Recharge PHEV on our shores, one can't help but notice that the top speed is now capped at 180 km/h. We did a little more digging and found that this also applied to the regular XC40 T5 R-Design, all variants of the XC60 and S60 sedan. Curiously, the S90 variants still have top speeds exceeding 180 km/h, for now. Also read: Volvo’s 180 km/h limit is so stupid, it’s actually brilliant, but remember Turbo Rolf? This, of course, has bee
