The Chery Omoda 5 GT has set into the ASEAN region after its Indonesian launch. It's claim to fame is that it's the most powerful of the (petrol) model range, and also available in all-wheel drive (AWD) configuration. Its 'GT' suffix brings with it a 1.6-litre turbocharged inline-four engine, making 200 PS and 290 Nm; paired to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). Two drivetrain configurations are available: front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-whel drive. This combo is a 43 PS and 50 Nm bump fro

Better late than never it would appear in the case of the 2023 Peugeot e-2008. Having been scheduled for arrival in Q4 of 2022, the fully electric version of the Peugeot 2008 has finally made its way here at the Malaysia Autoshow 2023 but will supposedly only launch in Q4 of 2023. You can blame pricing uncertainties and the usual supply chain issues for the delayed arrival here.

Malaysians' hype for the Proton X50 started even way before its launch, and even with upstarts like the Perodua Ativa coming into the fold, interest in the model still holds strong. Which probably explains why it was a cinch to collect nearly 30 cars for a gathering, organised by the Proton X50 Senior Kakis group. It was a good, laid-back afternoon at MyTown Cheras with the owners as they shared their ownership experience with us, and we enjoyed seeing how no two X50s were the same. But...what d

Last week, we stumbled upon a Facebook post where owners were expressing their disappointment as they are not entitled to the 6-month moratorium by BMW Credit Malaysia. BMW Credit Malaysia did clarify matters after by announcing customized solutions for customers affected by the Movement Control Order (MCO). But in these tough times with uncertainties that lies ahead, if your BMW loan tenure is completing soon and you don't intend to keep it long-term, perhaps consider something more affordable

The 2020 Proton X70 CKD is here, slightly less than two years after the China-made imported (CBU) model was introduced in Malaysia. Sorry to burst the bubble for those hoping to get the Chinese market top specs Geely Boyue Pro as the basis of the X70 CKD, as changes done to the exterior is minimal – the Proton emblems are new, and the X70 CKD gains a new shade of grey called Space Grey, and that's about it.
