This year's edition of the 2024 Malaysia Autoshow welcomes another souped-up Proton, this time the 2024 Proton X50 R3 Limited Edition. Based on the X50 Flagship, the X50 R3 Limited Edition comes with a unique frosted white paint job, black/red stripes running along the top, and blacked-out wheels to go with its new bodykit., Inside, it's pretty much the same as any X50, save for the R3 badging and logo embossed on the seats. This, however, is a special accessories package offered to customers, i

When Captain James T. Kirk declared the Starship Enterprise will “boldly go where no man has gone before,” he probably inspired many to chase their dreams. One of them would appear to be Lexus, as the premium carmaker aims to “boldly go where no Lexus has gone before,” which is off-roading with the NX PHEV Offroad Concept. While some are fairly capable, most Lexus would probably never see an off-road path their entire privileged life. That’s something the carmaker wants to change with its pair o

Parallel importers in Singapore have been hard at work, as they recently brought in the all-new 2021 Honda HR-V. One such parallel importer is Leco Auto. They are selling two variants of the all-new Honda HR-V: the regular 1.5 G petrol and hybrid 1.5X e:HEV.

PT Honda Prospect Motor's (HPM) world premiere yesterday unveiled the Honda N7X Concept. But in a rather surprise twist, what's touted as the Honda BR-V's next-gen replacement may not be one at all! If not BR-V, then a 7-seater Honda HR-V? Although it looks like a direct successor to the BR-V, Honda maintains that the N7X previews a totally new model line, one that is positioned higher than the BR-V. Speaking to Autofun Indonesia, HPM's sales and marketing director, Yusak Billy says that it's "l

As they say, raking rooflines are like London buses - you wait ages for one then suddenly two show up. Following the VW Arteon’s unveiling yesterday, we also came across the rather quiet launch of the swoopy 2020 Audi Q3 Sportback on Audi Malaysia's website. Essentially, the Sportback is the stylish brother of the current Q3. It gets a snazzy new visual package all-around and of course, had its roof lopped off for that coupe look. That said, it still hasn't lost its practical edge. Dimensions Fo

We recently came across photos of what appears to be the Daihatsu Thor in Malaysia. The Daihatsu Thor is a Japan-only model, and its presence here in Malaysia has raised an eyebrow or two. Seeing that this particular Daihatsu Thor isn’t covered in any camouflage (the Daihatsu emblem is still exposed), it’s safe to say that it won’t be sold here. Instead it is more likely to be part of an evaluation for a specific part used in the Thor, a part or feature that would eventually come to Malaysia, ei
