almera black series

With the unveiling of the 2020 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series, Mercedes-AMG finally gives its flagship supercar the Black Series treatment. It is also the most powerful V8-powered car ever from Mercedes-AMG. Like all Black Series cars AMG had released since 2006, this is no ordinary AMG GT. The masters at Affalterbach have managed to pull out an impressive 740 PS and 800 Nm from its newly-designed 4.0-litre flat V8 engine. Unlike previous Black Series models, the AMG GT Black Series is the first t

Yesterday, we were greeted with a scoop that the 2020 Nissan Almera in Malaysia will be getting the same 1.0-litre turbocharged 3-cylinder engine as Thailand. Now, before you get all excited with the prospects of cheap road tax and better looks, Edaran Tan Chong Motors (ETCM) still hasn’t announced a launch date for the popular but deeply-flawed sedan’s due replacement. Our Thai friends at Autofun however, has just published a review on the 2020 Almera. The Almera in Thailand is available in 5 t

A video of a black Nissan Almera blocking what is believed to be an ambulance has been going viral on social media. The incident is believed to have happened in Klang. Here’s a reminder of why you should allow an ambulance to pass. About 4 years ago, Malaysians were sent into an uproar when a video of an ambulance trying to get to accident victims on the North-South Highway went viral. The ambulance had an initial estimated time of arrival (ETA) of 20 minutes at first, but thanks to several cars

Things are about to get interesting in the B-segment sedan category. Honda has previewed the Honda City RS and made quite a fuss with its video commercial not so long ago. Now, we witness the debut of the all-new Nissan Almera in Malaysia. Both cars are now open for booking. On the outside, both cars look great. The Almera is much better looking than its predecessor and the City is an aggressive-looking B-segment sedan. Both cars utilise black trims in the front to give an appearance of a bigger

It is no surprise that I am a strong believer of Android Auto – it encompasses everything you could possibly ask for in an infotainment system, including voice command, navigation, and music streaming. There's no need to fawn over the Proton X70's voice command, which we have to add, doesn't come with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. With Android Auto, you use voice control to read/reply WhatsApp messages and enter a destination to Google Maps or Waze, as well as selecting your playlist on Spotify

Here at the WapCar office, some of us are pretty divided on whether the 2020 Nissan Almera Turbo looks better than the 2020 Honda City but one thing is for certain, one has more affordable road tax than the other. Besides, while Honda has released some Modulo accessories for the all-new City, Nissan has also a few accessories of their own. No, they aren’t by Impul or Nismo, for now. Let’s start with the first accessory package which is the Interior Styling Package which costs RM 400. This packag

Hailing from Munich is the famous German automaker, BMW. The brand has been around since 1916 and its badge proudly displays the colours of the Bavarian flag.

Gracing our roads today is the 7th generation of the 3 series, the G20. Like many other long-running car models, the 3-series has evolved over the years, grown larger, and has adapted much mor
