honda dash 125 review

‘Dash cam’ boleh bantu pemandu Malaysia jadi lebih berhemah?

Penggunaan ‘dash cam’ atau kamera papan pemuka kereta sememangnya banyak faedahnya. Pemandu Malaysia mana yang tak pernah tersekat dalam kesesakan lalulintas disebabkan kemalangan yang BUKANNYA dalam belah lorong jalan sendiri? Sebelah sana yang ‘accident’, sebelah sini pulak yang ‘stuck’. Tabiat gemar melihat dan berkongsi rakaman kemalangan sememangnya sebati dengan kebanyakan warga kita. Antara sebabnya ialah mungkin kita nak belajar dari kesilapan orang lain ataupun sebenarnya ‘teruja’ melih

KTM 125 Duke (2021) dilancar di India, pencabar utama Yamaha MT-15 di sana

KTM India melancarkan versi terbaru KTM 125 Duke (2021) dengan beberapa perubahan 'kosmetik', baru-baru di pasaran negara berkenaan bersama harga permulaan RS150,010 (RM8,258). Versi paling 'bongsu' dalam keluarga Duke ini dikatakan akan menjadi pencabar utama kepada Yamaha MT-15 berdasarkan harganya di India. Berdasarkan sudut reka bentuk, ia mendapat beberapa pembaharuan yang diambil daripada 'abangnya' KTM 200 Duke. Ia tampil dengan gaya lebih agresif dan tajam dengan tempat duduk dan ranggi.

Dash cams might do more than record accidents, it might fix our behaviour

Road conduct and rules may differ, but there is one trait Malaysian road users share with the rest of the world, and that is our morbid curiosity with road accidents. Just like the rest of the world, we rubberneck at accident scenes and upload dash cam footage to the internet. Though trying to score that lucky “nombor empat ekor” looks to be a uniquely Malaysian thing. Whether you think dash cams are an invasion of privacy or the best thing to happen to YouTube, the fact is it is here to stay. N

Honda Monkey edisi istimewa di Thailand. Menarik, unik!

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

Review: What does the Indonesian media think of the 2020 Mitsubishi Xpander?

Early this month, Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) teased the 2020 Mitsubishi Xpander at Mid Valley Megamall to garner interests and bookings. While the model is set to make its Malaysian debut sometime soon, the Xpander had been launched in other markets around South East Asia since 2017. Indonesia is one of those markets and received a facelift in February 2020. The MPV segment is king over there with the Xpander reportedly being the second best-selling car in Indonesia behind the Toyota Avanz

Quick Review: 2020 Honda City 1.5L V - good choice for a zippy family car

When we brought you the closer look of the 2020 Honda CR-V facelift last week, we also saw the all-new 2020 Honda City parking pretty outside. We know you're clamouring to know more - so we politely asked for the keys and took it for a spin. Please note that this is a brief review, and a detailed review will follow post-CMCO. We drove the V variant - which is the range-topping petrol variant before the upcoming hybrid RS - and here's what we think of it following a brief drive around Kuala Lumpu

Review: 2020 Non-turbo Honda City – What the Indian media says

The 2020 Honda City has yet to go on sale in India, but some Indian medias have started publishing their reviews. To recap, the India market Honda City is slightly different from the Thailand market model. The 1.0-litre turbocharged engine featured on the City RS isn’t offered in India; instead, buyers in India have the choice of two engines: a new 1.5-litre DOHC petrol engine and a carried-over 1.5-litre diesel engine. The petrol engine can be had with a CVT-type automatic or a 6-speed manual,

Before we go any further, we need to establish two things. First, the all-new fifth generation 2020 Honda City RS e:HEV hybrid (GN series) is yet to be launched in Malaysia. Second, prices have not been announced. However, we were given an early preview drive in the all-new 2020 City, in its range topping RS guise, on the condition that we don't mention anything about City's interior – that will have to wait until the car is launched.

Kita telah menyaksikan pelancaran Porsche Taycan dan MINI Cooper SE baru-baru ini. Tanpa disangka, kedua-dua model ini berharga lebih rendah daripada jangkaan. MINI Cooper SE berharga RM 218,380 manakala Taycan 4S bermula RM 725,000. Untuk maklumat anda, Porsche Taycan di Malaysia berharga lebih rendah berbanding di Thailand. Harga yang cukup “rendah” ini berkemungkinan oleh faktor cukai eksais yang hanya berkadar 10 % untuk kereta elektrik berbanding 60 % ke 105 % untuk kereta biasa. Bercakap t

Is the road tax actually cheaper for electric cars in Malaysia?

We’ve seen the launch of the Porsche Taycan and the MINI Cooper SE in Malaysia this year. They were surprisingly priced lower than our expectations. The MINI Cooper SE has a price tag of RM 218,380 and the Taycan 4S starts at RM 725,000. We did expect the MINI to be priced lower than the BMW i3s, but the Taycan is cheaper in Malaysia than it is in Thailand. The “low” price of these cars could be a result of the 10% excise tax on all electric cars as opposed to 60% to 105% for ICE cars. When we t

Honda City 1.0L Turbo, engine review: Should Malaysians demand for this new engine?

As you might have already know, the latest fifth generation Honda City has just gone on sale in Thailand earlier this year. Honda's B-segment sedan will now one-up its chief rival the Toyota Vios with an all-new 1.0-litre turbocharged engine. The latest Honda City is not expected to be launched in Malaysia until 2021. Thailand remains the only market in the world to sell it, to be followed by India in the second half of 2020, and the rest of world starting 2021. This means that we can't give you

The latest 8th-generation 2021 Hyundai Sonata 2.5 aspires to capture buyers who are looking at the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. Being a fully imported (CBU) model, the Sonata loses out on the price factor with a hefty price tag of RM 206,888 (OTR without insurance & SST). No powerful turbocharged engine nor ADAS in this all-new Sonata but there are some interesting features that may appeal to buyers.
