Honda EX5 memang model yang tidak asing bagi pengguna motosikal tempatan. Malah tidak keterlaluan untuk menyatakan model legenda ini sebagai 'Raja kapcai' di negara ini. Berdasarkan statistik, sudah lebih daripada 2 juta Honda EX5 berjaya dijual sejak pengenalannya lebih 30 tahun yang lalu dan varian terbarunya masih berada di pasaran. Jadi, mudah untuk menyatakan ia masih dapat menambat hati pengguna sekali pun usianya sudah 'tua'. Bagi Boon Siew Honda (BSH), resipi mereka untuk jentera ini mud

Tanpa mempedulikan pesaingnya yang lebih 'mengancam', model legenda Honda EX5 terus diberikan 'nafas baharu' oleh Boon Siew Honda (BSH) dan bagi 2021, varian baharu diperkenalkan iaitu Honda EX5 Edisi Ulangtahun ke-35. Perkembangan itu dikongsikan BSH dalam laman Facebook rasmi syarikat berkenaan, semalam menerusi dua varian yang hadir dengan dua warna dan reka grafik yang baharu. Sejak pengenalannya lebih 35 tahun yang lalu, sudah lebih daripada 2 juta Honda EX5 (pelbagai versi dan varian) berj

Sudah lebih lima bulan berlalu sejak Suzuki Malaysia memaparkan imej 'teaser' lampu hadapan sebuah model mirip motosikal moped Raider 150 Fi di laman Facebook rasmi syarikat berkenaan. Tetapi malangnya, tiada perkembangan baharu atau susulan mengenai imej berkenaan yang disertakan dengan keterangan gambar "The King is Back" (Raja Sudah Kembali) itu.

Previously, we’ve explained why manufacturers continue the use of 3-cylinder engines. Fuel-efficiency and emission are among the top reasons, but what if they decide to extract every bit of performance from a 3-cylinder engine? So without further ado, here are the current top-3 most powerful cars, which are either on sale or will be on the market, with a 3-cylinder engine.

The inevitable has happened, all Volvo cars produced from 2020 onwards are now limited to a top speed of 180 km/h. The decision to cap the top speed was announced in 2019, drawing much criticism from the public. But Volvo Cars persisted on their top speed cap and has installed limiters on all new Volvo cars, except for those under the Polestar brand. Volvo’s decision to cap all cars with the 180 km/h limit is in line with their goal to close the remaining gap to zero serious injuries and fatalit

Tidak salah jika menyatakan antara tujuan utama motosikal jenis kapcai atau ‘moped’ dibeli pengguna adalah bagi memudahkan urusan seharian terutama untuk mencari rezeki. Rata-rata pembeli motosikal jenis ini menjadikannya sebagai kenderaan ke tempat kerja kerana ia efisen, mampu mengelak kesesakan lalu lintas, menjimatkan duit dari sudut minyak, tol dan parkir. Di sini, kami tidak mahu bercerita mengenai model super moped yang 'hangat' di pasaran seperti Yamaha Y15, Honda RS150 atau sebangsa den

Sejak kebelakangan ini, pengeluar kereta daripada Korea banyak menghasilkan kereta yang nampak futuristik macam filem sci-fi (dah tengok Hyundai Staria?), dan trend ini bersambung dengan Kia Sportage 2022 generasi seterusnya (kod nama NQ5). Walaupun Sportage baru ini penuh dengan penyamaran, model yang akan datang ini tidak lagi nampak begitu bulat, sebaliknya tampil dengan garisan yang lebih moden dan tajam. Di bahagian depan, terdapat lampu depan runcing yang bersambung di gril depan (seperti

Motosikal 'mini' mungkin tidak begitu mendapat sambutan di Malaysia namun peminatnya tetap ada dan antara yang paling menyerlah dan unik pastinya Honda Monkey. Jika berpandukan kepada laman web jual beli di negara ini, tiada model baharu Honda Monkey berada dipasaran namun untuk kondisi terpakai, ia ada dijual dan harganya juga boleh tahan keras. Situasi itu berbeza dengan negara jiran di mana Honda Thailand baru-baru ini melancarkan edisi istimewa Edisi Bobby Banana dan Edisi Terhad Gundam. Bag

Korean carmakers are penning cars that wouldn't look too out of place in any sci-fi movies (have you seen the Hyundai Staria?) and it's a trend that this next-gen 2022 Kia Sportage (codenamed NQ5) aims to follow. The camouflage obfuscates the details, but at least we can see the bigger picture - the upcoming Sportage trades off the current-gen's bulbous looks for a silhoutte complemented by sharper features. It looks like there's pointy headlights that sharply converge at the front grille (a bit

Hot on the heels of the introduction of the 2021 Volvo XC40 T5 Recharge PHEV on our shores, one can't help but notice that the top speed is now capped at 180 km/h. We did a little more digging and found that this also applied to the regular XC40 T5 R-Design, all variants of the XC60 and S60 sedan. Curiously, the S90 variants still have top speeds exceeding 180 km/h, for now. Also read: Volvo’s 180 km/h limit is so stupid, it’s actually brilliant, but remember Turbo Rolf? This, of course, has bee

Ketika Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA dilancarkan di Vietnam dengan pelbagai pembaharuan dan naik taraf, antara persoalan bermain di fikiran pastinya mengenai kelajuan jentera popular berkenaan.

In 2017, Bugatti set the land speed record for production cars with the Bugatti Chiron, achieving 0-400-0 km/h in a mind-boggling 42 seconds. Seemingly not satisfied with the achievement, the French coachbuilder decided to attempt the (previously) unimaginable – breaking the 300 mph (482.80 km/h) barrier. The record-breaking run was done in a pre-production version of a Chiron derivative – Chiron SuperSport perhaps? It was on Ehra-Lessien high-speed track where Le Mans winner and Bugatti test dr

Engine specific output is typically measured by power-per-litre. It shows how efficient an engine is at producing power relative to its size. In the past, 100 PS-per-litre was considered the holy grail, only found in supercars or high-performance sports cars. Now, especially with turbocharging, it has become a lot more common and some even go far beyond it. So, here are 5 cars that pretty much says, “size doesn’t matter.” Ford GT – 191 PS-per-litre Recently updated with slightly more power at 66

How does one differentiate between a spoiler and a wing? Well, sage spaniel-haired motoring host James “Captain Slow” May has a novel way to differentiate between a wing and a spoiler. He said in a review for the Honda Civic Type R FK8 that if his head can go through the space, then it’s a wing. Well, that's a definition we can live by and the wing is one of those tools that many car fanboys love to show off thinking it makes their car faster. But those who have a much more mature taste in cars

Hyundai’s first-ever proper hot hatch has been given a facelift since it was introduced in 2017.

The Honda City is often remembered as either the tall-boy Bulldog from the 1980s or the ones many Malaysians fondly remembered that grew from a humble car to a torque-kicking revolution. But following the infamous first-gen turbocharged City that also produced this ear-catching jingle, its follow-up was seen as a step back from the first-gen. The first-gen City (known as the AA by fans) was a funky little car. It had a unique tallboy design that eventually caught on with other manufacturers and

One of the warning lights in your car is the ABS warning light. ABS stands for anti-lock braking system, and it ensures you have complete control of your car in emergency braking situations. What does a glowing ABS warning light mean? Unless you see leaking brake fluid, the most common reason for the ABS warning light is a faulty wheel speed sensor. In fact, some car brands have this as a recurring problem. There are other reasons for failed ABS systems too, albeit less prevalent. Some refer to
