There's no denying it – the V8 era is fading in Affalterbach. Recent speculation about the return of the V8 for the C63 and E63 has been definitively quashed by Mercedes-AMG's CEO. This leaves only the top-tier models like the Mercedes-AMG SL, the massive S63, or the crowd-favourite G-Wagen with V8 options, and even these incorporate some form of electrification, be it mild hybrid or plug-in hybrid. The latter is a recipe for excess weight, as seen in the S63 E Performance’s 2.5 tonne kerb weigh

Association plays a powerful role in our purchase decisions. We admire the watches and clothes worn by celebrities and personalities, desire to visit the places they travel, and even crave the food they eat. This drive for association is at the core of human aspiration. The same principle applies to the cars we drive. Whether it's the iconic Aston Martin DB5 from James Bond or the legendary Toyota Corolla (AE86) known for its "drifty" tofu deliveries, we are drawn to the cars that cool people/ch

By the time you finish reading this sentence, around 4 seconds have passed. Don’t believe me? Take out your stopwatch and time yourself reading just the first sentence. I’ll wait. See how quickly 4 seconds pass by? That is roughly the same time the MG 4 XPower accelerates to 100 km/h from a standstill. Remember how the sub-4-second century sprint was once reserved for wallpaper-worthy supercars/hypercars/vapourware that cost millions of ringgits? Yet, here we are in 2024 and you can achieve that

Small size, but this is a huge seller for House Stuttgart – so this mid-life update introduced earlier this year couldn't be more timely in the face of new rivals coming in hot.

Thought exercise: perhaps there are subtler ways to talk about the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450, but they all feel rather unapt; dishonest even, now that we've had a good turn of the wheel behind the newly-facelifted member. So we'll just be as brusque – it's the textbook definition of elegant badassery. 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 4Matic AMG Line Price RM 528,888 Segment Mid-size Luxury SUV Engine 3.0L turbo 6-cylinder Transmission 9-DCT Power 381 PS Torque 500 Nm 0-100 km/h 6.4 seconds Origin CKD

Looking at the Smart #3 in person, you might be forgiven for thinking that it is essentially a Smart #1 with a lower roofline. After all, both the #1 and #3 are built on the same platform and share the same power outputs. Smart Malaysia recently invited the Malaysian media to the Proton test track in Shah Alam for an exclusive first look and driving impression of the Smart #3. Two variants of the upcoming battery electric vehicle (BEV) were tested around the track – the Premium and Brabus varian

At Thursday's media conference on Proton’s quality assurance journey, P1 confirmed some details of the Proton X70 facelift which is due to be unveiled this year including the addition of ACC with Stop & Go. However, another tidbit of information officially revealed by P1 is the expected launch of the company’s first plug-in hybrid (PHEV) or battery electric vehicle (BEV). In a slide explaining the company’s future mobility plans beyond 2030 called CASE (Connected, Autonomous, Shared, and Electri

This is the Chery Omoda E5 battery electric vehicle (BEV), and beyond sharing a chassis and overall design with the regular Omoda 5, it remains a fundamentally different car than its internal combustion engine (ICE) counterpart.

More often than not, there is a fine line that separates good cars from truly superb cars that lead segments. Certain cars may individually offer great looks, substantive features, superb pricing, or excellent driving experiences. Truth be told, that may be enough to sway quite a few buyers. However, to lead—a model must deliver the best of all worlds and combine every attribute equally. That’s what the Honda CR-V has accomplished for generations. Now in its sixth generation, it continues to lea

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where the car you're fond of is owned by someone you don't particularly like? It's an odd scenario, somehow making you reluctant to desire the car because of the association. It's a bit like my feelings towards Tesla – not that I'm particularly fond of it, but the fanatics can be off-putting.
