Following our earlier report that prices of new cars in Malaysia, especially locally assembled ones, will go up in prices after Chinese New Year, we now have additional information confirming that prices of imported cars will also increase, also due to changes in taxation. Come June 2020, prices of imported (CBU) vehicles will also see an increase, although the quantum of increase will be a lot lesser than those of locally-assembled models, which are projected to go up by around 15 to 25 percent
Several units of the upcoming 2021 Toyota Corolla Cross sans camouflage have been spotted at Westport, Klang. It looks like the new B-segment SUV will start as a fully imported model (CBU) from Thailand, before operations to locally assemble (CKD) the car starts at Toyota’s Bukit Raja plant. From what we can see from the photos, the Corolla Cross in the pictures is the lower spec G variant. The interior of the Cross bears close resemblance to the Toyota Corolla Altis, featuring a similar 9-inch
Results are in for the annual Japan Car of the Year awards and the winner is the Toyota RAV4 with 436 votes, beating out the Mazda 3 (328 votes) and BMW 3 Series (290 votes). The new Toyota RAV4 is still not made available in Malaysia, although we are expecting the SUV to finally make its return into the C-segment SUV market in 2020. According to sources familiar with the matter, the Toyota RAV4 will be introduced in this region next year, with Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia on the list. Sourc
An economist has called for the government to consider ending Malaysia's protectionist measures for the automotive industry by lifting import and excise duties on imported completely built up (CBU) cars. Barjoyai Bardai, a lecturer from the Universiti Al-Madinah, told Free Malaysia Today that the protectionist measures will ultimately have to come to an end one day. The government should take this opportunity during the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) to make a trial run. Under the presen
Naza Euro Motors has quietly launched its 2020 DS7 SUV which is now fully imported (CBU) from France. The CBU unit replaces the previously locally-assembled (CKD) units that were introduced to the local market in June 2019. The DS7 SUV CKD was priced at RM 199,888 however, now that it is CBU, it gets slapped on with hefty duties which skyrocketed the selling price to RM 259,888 (OTR without insurance). That is a RM 60,000 increase. Specification on the CBU remains identical to the CKD you get th
At Volvo Car Malaysia (VCM) annual business review, the company has confirmed that the locally-assembled (CKD) 2020 Volvo S60 will be launched in Malaysia in 2020, replacing the fully imported (CBU) units that were launched in 2019. VCM did not disclose the timeline of the launch but assured that the pricing and specification of the S60 CKD model will be identical to the CBU units that were offered in a sole S60 T8 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid R-design priced at RM 295,888 (OTR without insurance).
In case you missed it, the whole of Malaysia except Sarawak will be observing the Movement Control Order (MCO) until 4 February 2021. While we can’t show our love for our cars by driving them, we can always sooth our souls with some car related action movies. Here’s a list of car movies that you can binge on during the lockdown! The rather mainstream films (No Fast and Furious movies included) Need for Speed If you’re looking for something to kick start your weekend, then Need for Speed is the s
Naza Kia Malaysia has officially launched the 2021 Kia Seltos in Malaysia, nearly a year since the model was first previewed to dealers in February 2020. The model is imported (CBU) from India. Below are the prices of the Kia Seltos in Malaysia: 2021 Kia Seltos Price in Malaysia Variant Private Registration Company Registration 1.6 EX RM 115,888 RM 116,088 1.6 GT Line RM 133,888 RM 134,088 All prices are on-the-road without insurance and with 50% SST reduction for CBU cars, valid until 30-June 2

Deliveries of the 1.8G variant is immediate, while those who booked the 1.8V variant can only start receiving their cars from July onwards.

With talks of the Suzuki Jimny being locally assembled in Indonesia, Autonetmagz mentioned that the waiting list for the Jimny has reached 60 months or 5 years. It is estimated that orders for the Suzuki Jimny have exceeded 3000 units, and Suzuki Indonesia is only able to fulfill 50 of them per month due to import restrictions (the Suzuki Jimny is currently imported from Japan). This gives a rough calculation for the waiting list of around 60 months or so. To refresh, the Suzuki Jimny is powered
Looks like car manufacturers are not the only ones that are currently enjoying a surge in sales. Used-car dealers are also reporting record-high sales in the few months since the Recovery Movement Control Order was put into effect. According to the Federation of Motor and Credit Companies Association of Malaysia (FMCCAM) president Datuk Tony Khor, the surge in demand for used cars is so good that the scenario is “simply too good to believe”. The surge in vehicle sales is believed to be spurred b

The fourth-generation all-new 2020 Toyota Harrier is a surprisingly popular car in Japan. Since its official launch in June 2020, the premium SUV has racked up a backorder of close to 100,000 units! Unfortunately, Toyota’s factory is unable to keep up with the overwhelming demand causing a 9-month delay. According to BestCarWeb, sales of the Toyota Harrier has increased a total of 461.7 percent in November compared to the same month of the previous year. That is almost 5 times more than previous
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
A week after previewing the all-new 2021 Hyundai Elantra in Malaysia, Hyundai-Sime Darby Motor (HSDM) has launched the new C-segment here. Introductory prices start from RM 158,888 for the sole 1.6 variant. Now in its seventh-generation, the all-new Hyundai Elantra competes against rival C-segment sedans such as the Honda Civic, Mazda 3 Sedan, and Toyota Corolla Altis. The all-new Hyundai Elantra is now imported (CBU) from Korea. Compared to its rivals, the Hyundai Elantra is priced closer to th
Volvo S60 gallery Earlier today, Volvo Car Malaysia introduced the locally-assembled (CKD) Volvo S60, roughly seven months after the imported (CBU) model was introduced here. If you were expecting the locally-assembled S60 to be priced lower than the USA-made model, sorry to burst your bubble as that is not the case. The Volvo S60 CKD is priced from RM 295,888 (on-the-road, without insurance), identical to the USA-made model. The reason is less about the CKD version being cheaper and more about
Looks like the Kingdom of Brunei will be the first country to fully import (CBU) a right-hand drive Geely Binyue/ 2020 Proton X50 as Pad Motors Proton Brunei has opened bookings for the B-segment SUV. Yet again Brunei is the first country to import a Proton SUV as the country is the first to CBU the updated Proton X70 in September 2020. The Proton X70 is one of Brunei’s best-selling SUVs, so it would be interesting to see how the Proton X50 will do in the Kingdom. To recap, the Proton X50 was la
Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (VAMA) has just released sales data for the B-segment SUV market for the month of January 2021 and taking pole position for the month is the Kia Seltos with 1,226 units sold. What’s amazing is how much market share the Kia SUV captured in the Vietnamese market. According to VAMA’s sales data, the Seltos captured a 43% market share, easily dominating over its rivals. In second place is the Toyota Corolla Cross with 853 units sold that same month. This
The upward trend for vehicle sales in Malaysia has continued into its second month, as data from the the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) has indicated that vehicles sales in Malaysia has increased by 94.7% in June 2020. Back in June, sales amounted to 44,965 units, which is an increase of 21,735 units or 94.7 percent compared to May. Although sales figures over the past two months were encouraging, year-to-date figures paint a different figure. With 174,675 units shifted from January to J
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
As recent as 2017, Malaysia was the leading country in the ASEAN region for electrified vehicles. We were the first in the region to assemble plug-in hybrid vehicles and for several years, Malaysia was among BMW’s top-five largest markets in the world for plug-in hybrid models, behind USA, UK, Japan, and China. Thanks to generous tax rebates for locally-assembled energy efficient vehicles (EEVs), Malaysia was, at one time adopting plug-in hybrid vehicles faster than Germany, despite Germany’s ne
Alongside the BMW price revision announcement, MINI Malaysia has also updated the price list for 2021. Like new BMW models, standard is a 2-year warranty without free service package. But customers can opt for the 4 Years Unlimited Mileage Warranty with Free Scheduled Service (“Extended Warranty & Service Package”) at the same cost as before. For example, the MINI JCW Hatch can be purchased at a recommended retail price of RM 294,861 (OTR without insurance, with SST exemption) with the standard
The Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) has announced its tally for total new car sales, better known within the industry as Total Industry Volume (TIV), for year 2020. A total of 529,514 new motor vehicles were sold in 2020, down 12.4 percent from 2019. The cause of the downturn is of course due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the associated MCO restricting normal economic activities. For two and a half months between March and May 2020, no cars were sold as showrooms were not allowed to operat
It’s a frantic start of the week for many staff at car companies. Following Friday’s announcement by the Prime Minister that locally-assembled cars will be exempted from paying 10 percent sales tax while imported vehicles will see the rate reduced by half, many car companies are swamped by calls from their dealers and stakeholders asking for details on what’s the next step. Without the necessary paperwork, the Accounts/Finance division at car companies are unable to proceed or give any answers.
The locally-assembled Proton X70 is heading overseas, as Al Haj Proton, the official distributor of Proton vehicles in Pakistan, has just teased the new model. As seen on their social media account, the CBU Malaysia Proton X70 was driven 2,286 meters above sea level to Gabral, a village and hill station in the Swat District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistan. This is not the first time the Proton X70 was spotted in Pakistan, as the X70 was caught a couple of months back covered in copious
In light of the current Covid-19 pandemic, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has announced a number of measures to help boost Malaysia’s economy, including the automotive sector. In an effort to boost new car sales, the Prime Minister has announced that there will be a 100 percent sales tax exemption when purchasing a new locally-assembled (CKD) car and 50 percent sales tax exemption with an imported car (CBU), beginning from 15th June to 31st December 2020. At the moment, sales tax is set
Malaysian consumers have a long-standing (and weird) obsession with the “made in” stickers on their vehicles. Seemingly thinking that fully imported (CBU) models are of higher quality than locally assembled (CKD) products. This is an unjust misconception and undermines the expertise of our local talents who are equally qualified to assemble cars that meet the manufacturers stringent global manufacturing standards. What Are CBU and CKD? CBU (Completely Built-Up) refers to cars that are assembled
Volvo Car Malaysia today launched its newest 3S centre in Mutiara Damansara with its dealer-partner Ingress Swede Automobile Sdn Bhd (Ingress Swede). Mr Nalin Jain, Managing Director of Volvo Car Malaysia said, “In the premium segment, the product is not the sole factor in the consumer’s purchase decision. What’s equally important is the value, quality, and accessibility of services that they can enjoy throughout their journey with the brand. We are looking at incorporating technologies and proc
We get it, the most popular car in Malaysia this year is probably the 2020 Proton X50. It had a headline-grabbing six-month waiting list (that Proton is working on rectifying), but it seems the 2020 Mitsubishi Xpander one ups that with an eight-month waiting period. Yes. Quartz White Pearl - best Xpander colour? With over 3,700 bookings collected in its first month of sales, there's no denying Malaysians love the Xpander. However, it seems there's a bit more love for the white one as the waiting
BMW Malaysia has released the updated price list for 2021 with a few notable changes. Prices have fluctuated for some models while some remained the same, like the BMW 218i Gran Coupe and BMW X1 sDrive 18i. Here’s the interesting part – the prior 5-year warranty and service package is now optional; standard is a 2-year warranty without free service. This means prices have dropped across the board with the standard 2-year warranty, but goes back to the same price as before should customers opt fo
