The Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) has urged the government to ban the sale of car accessories that could pose a fatal risk, especially in the event of a crash. According to Berita Harian, one such item is the dummy buckle, which was originally meant for plus-sized individuals, but has since been misused by people who refuses to buckle up while driving. By inserting the dummy buckle into the seat belt buckle, these drives can avoid the annoying chimes a modern car emits when
The National Security Council (MKN) has announced that effective 10 February 2021, the rest of the Malaysian small businesses will be allowed to reopen. This will include car accessories shops across the country. Here is the complete list of businesses allowed to reopen during the Movement Control Order (MCO): Other than that, MKN has also announced that dine-in at restaurants will be allowed starting 10 February 2021. All diners will have to adhere to social distancing rules and one table is on
The Nissan X-Trail received a facelift earlier this year with four variants. Now you can have the X-Tremer or the Aero Edition accessories package for all variants. To recap the 4 variants: 2.0L 2WD 2.0L 2WD Mid 2.5L 4WD 2.0L Hybrid The X-Tremer package comprises a two-tone paint job with many items blacked out including the roof, roof rails, grille, spoiler, side mirrors, Tomei front and rear bumper, and 17-inch wheels. Aero Edition is basically the opposite without two-tone scheme and everythi
The new 2021 Perodua Ativa is set to blaze the Malaysian roads on fire with its appealing price and equally appealing features. But for those who think the SUV needs a gruffer and sportier look to match its active-inspired name, Perodua also offers Gear Up accessories for the Ativa. The Ativa starts from RM 61,500 and the Gear Up accessories are offered on all three variants. These accessories include a bodykit that gives the Ativa a sporty look to challenge other cars on the road, including the
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
There's been much ado recently and it's not about nothing - the 2020 Proton X50 has very clearly won Malaysia's popularity contest since its October launch. But popularity isn't the only thing Proton's latest B-segment SUV's got in common with A-list celebrities. As waiting lists extend up to 6 months, the X50 was caught in controversy following allegations that dealers were forcing customers to buy optional accessories. A lot of the hubbub is due to pricing: at RM 3,300 for the Utility Package
From aftermarket wheels, seats to steering wheels - chances are you can pick out a couple of modified cars just by looking around you. Check when you’re out and about, and you’ll see I’m right. Us Malaysians are a creative bunch, and it’s only natural that trickles down to our cars. As much as it’s cool to make the cars we drive truly our own, there are plenty of enthusiasts who go for low-quality, fake accessories. Sure, there are some people who ignorantly choose to get them, but a good majori
Volvo Car Malaysia today paved a new path for customers with the launch of its 360 total-care used car programme known as Volvo SELEKT. The programme is created for the discerning customers in mind, who want the same uncompromising excellence and quality of a new Volvo car but at a price point they desire. Each pre-owned Volvo car under the Volvo SELEKT programme is guaranteed to be under five years old and has less than 100,000 km in mileage. Once it qualifies under the programme, the car will
There’s a new Volvo 3S centre in Malaysia and this time it is located in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. The latest 3S centre will add to their list of 14 dealerships nationwide and will be run by their new dealer partner Sebangga Mitsinbo Sdn Bhd. The new 2-storey 3S centre spans 5,432 square-foot and is built to adhere to Volvo Car’s retail standard known as the Volvo Retail Experience (VRE). The facility is prepared to put the Volvo Car Lifestyle Collection and Accessories on show and ready to facilita
Car mats are one of the first few accessories Malaysians will buy upon collecting their brand-new car. The most common type of car mats that you find in accessory stores are rubber and coil. While they provide better protection compared to the standard carpet type, rubber and coil mats are not the best option for long term hygiene, safety, and protection. Trapo Classic Mark II Mats gives you the ultimate protection with none of the safety risk. Trapo mats are designed and tailored to each specif
Have you ever come across kids jumping at the backseat of a car, while you’re stopped at a red light? This is one of my biggest driving pet peeves, people not wearing seatbelts whilst travelling in their cars. We have seen countless times, crashes on the road that have resulted in people getting flung out of their cars. Why? Plain and simple, they weren’t wearing their seatbelts. How can something so intrinsically simple to do become such a widely-ignored habit? Sadly, it’s down to both ignoranc
As Malaysians, we like to squeeze as much money out of everything we own as possible. Cars generally depreciate 20 percent of its value in the first year of ownership. After that, the value of the car would drop 15 percent every subsequent year until the 10th year. By the 10th year, the car would be worth 10 percent of what it originally cost when you bought it. But depreciation value also varies according to car brands and models, as well as the geographical location, i.e, if you’re living in S
Last week, we shed light on what are the top 10 most stolen cars in Malaysia for Q1 2020. We know many of you own cars in that list, so this week we’ll share with you some quick tips on how to secure your car from thieves. Let's set the scene. Imagine you're driving down a mall parking and boom, you've found a parking spot. First things first... 1. Start with parking in a well-lit place Nice, there's no hidden Kancil - but wait! - is it bright? Parking in well-lit places help reduce the risk of
When you buy a brand-new car, you have to go through a run-in (or break-in) period for the first 1,000 km. Unfortunately, you can’t just gun it right after taking delivery from the showroom. As such with our new Perodua Ativa, the first thing in order is to run it in. How to run in the car? Drive the car carefully without exceeding a certain rpm and speed limit. In every car’s owner manual, the instructions for the run-in period are explicitly stated. And for the case of our Perodua Ativa, the r
Which type of car owner are you? Are you the type who makes sure your car air-conditioning is off before you even start the engine and start driving? The is a debate that has started since the concept of A/C in a car was invented, we bust the myth on whether this practice actually makes a difference. The myth of keeping all accessories off came from back in the day when cars still run on carburetors. This was when the advice to let your engine warm up came to be. But, we've since left carburetor

Potential owners of the 2020 Proton Saga Anniversary Edition can opt for an optional package when they purchase the car, which includes a number of upgrades. One of the upgrades is what Proton calls an “NVH Guard”, which is essentially insulation foam placed on the underside of bonnet and boot of the car. The jury is out on the effectiveness of the insulation foam, but for a low price of RM 70 (yes, you can purchase it separately), we reckon it’s worth a shot. Other accessories include front and
Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) today launched the limited edition UNITED range, consisting of the Passat and Tiguan models. The range celebrates the strength of unity, a trait deeply embedded in the Volkswagen brand. Two new unique Volkswagen Original Accessories are introduced in the UNITED models; dynamic wheel hub caps with a self-levelling logo that stays upright while the car is in motion for the Tiguan and Passat; and LED door lights that projects the Volkswagen logo when the fr
If you wanted something small and affordable, it is very hard to look away from the Perodua Axia. Launched in 2014, the Axia has received two facelifts in 2017 and 2019. The first facelift gave the Axia a new VVT-equipped engine, and the second facelift removed the manual transmission from all variants except the “E”. Virtually unrivalled in its segment (A-segment hatchback), those shopping for the Axia might even consider the Proton Saga or the Perodua Bezza as alternatives. Should you get the
A car catching on fire is an absolute nightmare because there is usually zero hope of saving the car. The car cremates itself to car Valhalla and no amount of money can bring it back to life. Cars catch on fire for several reasons and most of them are avoidable. To help you avoid this terrible situation, we’ve listed out six reasons that cause cars to catch fire in the first place, and how you could avoid them. 1. Fuel Leaks Gasoline is highly flammable. All it takes to start a fire is a little
Following tip-offs by our dear readers, checks with a couple of Proton dealers confirm that an optional wireless charging pad will be offered to Proton X50 customers in the near future. We understand that the wireless charging pad will retail at around RM 450 and offered at Proton 2S, 3S, and 4S centres. Pending official announcement by the carmaker, we also learn that the wireless charger must be pre-ordered first - so it's best to wait a while rather than sprinting down to your local Proton sa
With MCO 2.0 truly underway and upon us, most of us will be spending most of our time at home. That also means our cars won't be driven as often as usual.

WapCar has come together with Lazada to make your car care DIY a cinch this MCO period. Here are some recommended products from online retailers that you can find in Malaysia's leading e-com

While the world (well, at least in this part of the world) is reeling from the global launch of the all-new 2021 Honda HR-V, we must say that it looks very drastic and bigger than the outgoing model. Some might say it resembles a Mazda at the front, which must be a compliment. However, according to an interview with Japanese media, the all-new HR-V’s bigger size is merely an illusion. Wait, so it only looks big? Granted, we’re only looking at photos rather than up close, so what’s the deal with
The infamous Satin Hornet Yellow Proton X50 that lit the internet on fire last year was involved in an accident a couple of days ago. Images of the battered car was uploaded by the owner himself, Lee Jian Xian. The car seems to have absorbed the impact pretty well, and Lee looks relatively unscathed. It's understood that the car hit both left and right highway dividers before coming to a stop, but how the accident happened wasn't disclosed. Though he captioned the post with "Thanks for protectin
