The 5th-generation Toyota Prius debuted in late 2022 featuring superb looks, new powertrains, and an updated TNGA platform that vastly improved handling - creating the most driver-focussed Prius ever, in contrast to the efficient runabouts all its predecessors were. That said, you wouldn't peg it to do a fast lap around a racing circuit, would you? That didn’t stop Top Gear UK from trying though, and by golly-gosh, did it look spectacular. In a recent review, they set out on the longest Uber rid

If market research data is the all-knowing sage predicting what consumers will buy next, then the FE-generation 2022 Honda Civic should have been a flop.

Malaysians said goodbye to these 12 models in 2021 Some were discontinued due to poor sales, others due to age Which will you miss fondly?

While some might remain optimistic that 2022 might be better with a huge array of upcoming models, we’d like to dedicate this article to the cars that won’t make it into the new year. Some of these models were revered by their o

The Honda Civic has been a mainstay of the Malaysian motoring scene since 1977. Over 10-generations the Civic continues to impress buyers with its balance of style, practicality, reliability and driving performance. First introduced to the Malaysian market in 2006, the highlight of the eighth-generation Civic, codenamed FD, was its sporty and aerodynamic design, a greater emphasis on equipment and powertrain options as well as an increase in cabin space and refinement. The Civic FD was a surefir

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

BMW Malaysia has just launched the all-new 2020 BMW X5 xDrive45e plug-in hybrid (PHEV) in Malaysia, priced from RM 440,745 (without SST, valid until 31st December 2020).
