Spyshot: Daihatsu is evaluating a 1.0-litre turbo engine for Indonesia, Perodua next?

Indonesian automotive website AutonetMagz recently posted photos of what appears to be a Daihatsu Tanto on the streets of Indonesia. According to them, photos of the Daihatsu Tanto started to surface a couple of month ago, and some speculated that Daihatsu Indonesia could introduce the kei car there. In the past, Daihatsu Indonesia used to sell the Daihatsu Copen, but sales were short-lived as the Copen was priced too high for the average Indonesian buyer. However, Amelia Tjandra, the Marketing

Perodua D55L tiada transmisi manual, tak ikut Daihatsu Rocky spec Indonesia?

Umum mengetahui bahawa Perodua D55L adalah model SUV yang dibangunkan berasaskan Toyota Raize dan Daihatsu Rocky. Ura-ura turut mengatakan bahawa Daihatsu Rocky akan dilancarkan di Indonesia selain pelancaran Perodua D55L untuk Malaysia tahun 2021 ini. Toyota Raize dan Daihatsu Rocky menggunakan transmisi CVT secara keseluruhan. Hal ini juga bermakna, berkemungkinan besar Perodua D55L juga akan menggunakan transmisi CVT. Justeru, Perodua D55L mungkin akan menjadi satu-satunya model Perodua sekar

Rendered: 2021 Perodua D55L base spec, cheapest SUV in Malaysia?

Set to be introduced soon, the upcoming 2021 Perodua D55L has been rendered as a entry-level, or "kosong spec" model. With a little Photoshop, we've given the D55L steel wheels, unpainted bumpers, and a bee-sting antenna. If you haven't already known, the upcoming Perodua D55L is based on the Japan-market Toyota Raize/Daihatsu Rocky. "D55L" is merely a code name, and we still don't know what its final name will be upon launch. Over in Japan, the D55L's cousin, the Toyota Raize/Daihatsu Rocky, is

Why is ETCM so generous in giving the Malaysian-spec all-new 2020 Nissan Almera a turbo engine?

It is official – the upcoming all-new 2020 Nissan Almera for Malaysia will be getting a turbocharged engine, replacing the outgoing model’s naturally-aspirated unit. On the surface, it appears that Edaran Tan Chong Motor, the official distributor of Nissan vehicles, has wisen up and decided to give Malaysians a better powertrain than before. But is that really the case? Well, the actual reason is due to the fact that ETCM does not have any other engine option to offer in the all-new Almera. Let

The evolution of Perodua “kosong” spec cars

Cars are expensive. We usually take 5, 7, or even 9 years just to pay them off. Some of us may take the Dave Ramsey route of avoiding loans, but that’s not a popular thing to do. With the tight-budgeted consumer in mind, auto manufacturers have provided us with base spec or “kosong” spec cars. As basic as they are, they serve the purpose of taking you from one place to another. A “kosong” spec car may have been your first car, the company car, or the car you learned to drive in.

2020 Honda City - Why we'd rather have the 1.5L NA engine over the 1.0L Turbo

Honda engineers have actually published their research on the 1.0-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged engine that made its way into the 2020 Honda City in Thailand. With such insights, we thought we'd share our view on it. The 1.0-litre VTEC Turbo engine was first introduced in the European Honda Civic hatchback. Mechanically, the powertrain is identical to the one in the turbocharged Honda City. With that established, let’s crack on. There were 3 goals during the development of this engine: Superior

New 2021 Toyota Fortuner facelift coming to Malaysia - 2.8L turbo engine from Hilux?

A facelift for the Malaysian Toyota Fortuner is due soon. Judging by the Thai-spec Toyota Fortuner, the 2021 facelift is bound to bring some significant changes (if the Legender variants were to make it to our shores). Since the Toyota Hilux has received a facelift very recently, it is reasonable to expect the Toyota Fortuner to follow suit. The first-generation Toyota Fortuner (2004) was developed by Thai and Japanese engineers in Thailand. The first-gen received two facelifts (2008 & 2011), an

Surprising as it may sound, selected variants of the Daihatsu Rocky are actually more expensive than the Toyota Raize in Japan. Prices start from JPY 1.705 million for the entry-level Daihatsu Rocky 1.0 L variant, JPY 26,000 more than the equivalent (entry-level) Raize 1.0 X variant, which is priced from JPY 1.679 million. The key difference between the entry-level Rocky and Raize is the fitment of Daihatsu’s Smart Assist ADAS suite on the Rocky – something that the entry-level Raize lacks. The

We all know the Toyota Avanza. The strangely proportioned 7-seater MPV that has the ground clearance of an SUV. While opinions are split between the car’s look, there was no denying that it was a helpful workhorse whether you’re ferrying workers or family around. Those on the elderly side also love the height clearance as it means easier ingress and egress! If you’re a very observant person, you would notice that according to the Avanza’s VIN plate, the car is made in Indonesia by PT. Astra Daih
