honda freed review
Mini MPVs like the Honda Freed are now all the rage for people of Hong Kong as they discover new ways to soothe their travel bug during the Covid-19 pandemic. The phenomenon is known popularly as “Shachuhaku” therapy. It is the Japanese term for camping out of your car or, in other words, campervans. In this video, the lady is one of many who has been living out her adventures in her converted Honda Freed Spike. The reason she started her Shachuhaku therapy journey was that she is an avid travel
The all-new 2021 Honda HR-V, which made its global debut in Japan last month as the Honda Vezel, has been a bit too successful. Prices have yet to be announced as the HR-V (Vezel) will only go on sale in Japan in April 2021. As a result, sales of other similarly priced Honda models took a hit last month, with Honda falling out of the Top-10 most popular models list.

Honda HR-V 2021 serba baru yang membuat debut global di Jepun bulan lepas sebagai Honda Vezel telah mengancam jualan dalam Honda itu sendiri. Disebabkan itu, jualan Honda jatuh pada bulan lepas sehingga terkeluar dari senarai Top 10 model popular. Menarik kan? Harga pun belum lagi diumumkan kerana HR-V (Vezel) hanya akan dijual di Jepun pada April 2021. Juga baca: Honda HR-V 2021 serba baru - apa yang beza? Masih menawan?

Honda City Honda Civic Dalam sebuah laporan oleh Creative Trend, model Honda City (dikenali dengan nama Grace) dan Civic sedan bakal dihentikan di Jepun menjelang Ogos. Selain itu, Honda juga akan mengurangkan barisan model keretanya di Jepun dengan turut menghentikan Honda Jade, sebuah station wagon yang berasaskan platform Honda Civic generasi ke 9. Ketiga-tiga model tersebut bakal dihentikan pengeluaran dan penjualannya menjelang Ogos. Honda Civic - Ikon keunggulan industri automotif Jepun ya
Sad news for potentials sedan buyers in Japan, as Honda will be discontinuing the Civic Sedan and City (sold in Japan as the Grace) in Japan by August. In fact, Honda will also trim its Japanese line-up by axing the Jade – a station wagon based on the ninth-generation Honda Civic. The report from Creative Trend mentioned that sales and production of all three models will cease in August. Honda Civic – Once the de-facto icon of Japan’s automotive industry will be gone The Civic Sedan’s eventual d
Photos of what appears to be the all-new Honda Jazz (called the Fit in Japan) have surfaced, ahead of its possible 2019 Tokyo Motor Show debut. According to Creative Trend, several units of the all-new Honda Jazz were seen parked in a row beside the facelifted Honda Freed, which gives us a sneak peek of the new car’s front end. Unlike the current generation Honda Jazz with its sharp front end, the all-new model seen here gets a more rounded front end. The headlights look similar to earlier spysh
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
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,

Facebook: Jia Cherng Introduction The Honda Civic, a car that I always thought was gorgeous, even from the Civic EK, Civic EG series I thought it looked amazing! As I have been a grease monkey since the day I was born, the only ever toys I had were cars. My parents would just give me a 1:64 model GTR and that would be enough for me to last the day without crying or w
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. We were only given a two-lap drive around the Melaka Internat
(2019 Honda Jazz V-variant Prices & Specs | Gallery) Think B-segment hatches and the 2019 Honda Jazz facelift will immediately come to mind as the most popular choice. And why not? Honda is already known for their class leading practicality and the cars are always packed to the brim with safety features and equipment. The latest generation Honda Jazz came to Malaysia in 2014. A Honda Jazz facelift came along in 2017 sporting a new grille, new rear bumper, and the addition of a 6.8-inch touchscre
As reported earlier, Honda has just taken the wraps off the all-new 2021 Honda HR-V. If you have been living under a rock for some time, the outgoing model was a wild and resounding success on our shores (I have one sitting in my garage, so I'd know). It goes without saying that Honda will have its work cut out to improve on the current car. So, let's dive in to what's new and different about the all-new model, compared to its predecessor. Exterior I've said this many times that the current HR-V

Much of the buzz in the automotive scene in 2020 was surrounding the Proton X50. The hype for Proton’s latest B-segment SUV is off the charts. So much so that Proton is having trouble to deliver new cars to their customers. We have detailed in full on all the pros and cons of the Proton X50 in a written review. But here is a quick recap if you are short on time. The X50 competes in an increasingly popular segment because buyers love the tall-ish driving position but without the bulkiness of a C-

Facebook: JJ Chang Toying with the idea of SUV At the end of 2016, I was in search for a new family car, and having previously owned a 2010 Toyota Estima 2.4 Aeras, I didn’t want to get another MPV as options were limited. My MPV options at the time were the Toyota Alphard, Toyota Vellfire, Honda Odyssey, and Nissan Elgrand. I could have gone for a newer Estima, but
(2019 Toyota Vios prices and specs | Gallery) To begin with, a full disclosure – my daily is a 2014 (third generation pre-facelift) Toyota Vios and some bias may be involved in this review, but not in the way that you think, it's actually against the Toyota Vios. Personally, the Toyota Vios has never been appealing because to me, it is merely a means to avoid our national brands. And when my family decided to get one back in 2014, needless to say I wasn't particularly thrilled by the news. But p
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
Is it me or is it getting hot in here? Honda Malaysia has already started firing us up with teasers of the all-new 2020 Honda City (and taking potshots at the Toyota Vios at that) but is it as hot as it's made out to be? Does all-new mean all-good? Thanks to this review by our Thai colleagues at Autofun.co.th who had the range-topping City Turbo RS for a week, we can take an exclusive deep dive into the car that's keen to swoop our markets. Let's dive in! Exterior I think it's safe to say that m
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. As mentioned in the video, the Sonata is going to sell for its novelty. Quirky features like t
The 2021 Honda City Hatchback is coming to Malaysia, and news of it superseding the Honda Jazz has drawn rather mixed reactions. Some lament the Jazz's departure from this region, but our colleagues over at AutoFun Thailand think that the City Hatchback is a worthy successor. Exterior - RS looks good There's three variants of the City Hatchback in the Land of Smiles - S+, SV, and as tested is this range-topping RS variant. In RS guise, the City Hatchback gets a multi-piece exterior package encap
Peugeot 3008 If you have your mind set on the Proton X70 or Honda CR-V, chances are the Peugeot 3008 has never crossed your mind. Because the X70 and CR-V are, in every sense of the word, safe and sensible choices. But if the likes of Mazda CX-5 and Volkswagen Tiguan are on your shopping list, maybe this French SUV may tickle your fancy. You see, the biggest appeal of the Mazda CX-5, Volkswagen Tiguan and Peugeot 3008 has never been its value proposition. It's for those looking for something dif
That's our Toyota C-HR review vedio. The Toyota C-HR was launched in Malaysia in March 2018. It subsequently went through a minor update in 2019 with better features and revised styling. Prior to the launch, the public was seriously hyped up for the Toyota C-HR following UMW Toyota Motor's extensive campaign for the SUV. I still remember clearly the amount of attention the Toyota C-HR got when it first made its public preview at the 2017 Carlist.my Test, Drive and Buy event. Toyota C-HR Price Un
The eighth-generation Toyota Camry 2.5V raised a lot of eyebrows. It is the most expensive Toyota Camry ever sold in Malaysia priced at RM 196,888 (OTR without insurance). Under the sharp "keen Look" exterior, lies Toyota's latest TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture) platform that adopts double-wishbone rear suspension, low centre of gravity and dynamic handling characteristic. Like most new-generation Toyotas, the athleticism of the Toyota Camry is more akin to a BMW rather than a traditional
UMW Toyota Motor has quietly discontinued the slow-selling Toyota Sienta in Malaysia just as a new facelifted model makes its debut in Thailand and Indonesia Although imported into Malaysia from Indonesia, the Sienta was originally aimed at consumers in metropolitan cities in East Asia. It sold well in Japan and Hong Kong, where its unique power-operated sliding doors made it ideal for cities. In these markets, minivans with power-operated sliding doors dominate. Closer to home, the Sienta only
While Malaysians are still divided over Honda’s decision the discontinue the Honda Jazz in this region (except for Singapore), replacing it with the Honda City Hatchback, Japanese car fans observing from afar have responded to the City Hatchback in an oddly positive way. In a survey conducted by Kuruma News, 76.9 percent of the Japanese publications' users agree that the City Hatchback looks like a successor to the original first generation Honda Civic. The current FC generation Honda Civic is s

Unlike booted hatch or compact sedans with their weird looks to aide with practicality, large sedans do not need to sacrifice its looks for usability. Their strong muscular lines flows coherently from the front all the way to the back without needing to sacrifice
Toyota Corolla Cross The 2021 Toyota Corolla Cross is now finally launched in Malaysia and we had a brief session with it, bringing you a first drive review of Toyota’s latest SUV. No matter how much “enthusiasts” complain about SUVs, consumers just cannot get enough of tall-riding, big cars, and I am completely on the consumer's side. SUVs are practical, offer great outward visibility and generous ground clearance (especially for our roads). For a sensible family man like myself, what is there
Just recently, Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors (HSDM), the official distributor of Hyundai vehicles in Malaysia, organized a media preview of the 2020 Hyundai Kona ahead of the model's introduction. Let's take a look at how well the Hyundai Kona fares in Malaysia, as we've driven the Kona in New Zealand a couple of years ago. Exterior – Handsome looks, unlike anything else Despite being a three-year-old model (Hyundai also just introduced the facelifted model overseas), the Hyundai Kona still looks fr
The all-new Honda City RS is set to make its global debut in Malaysia soon. It will be the world's first Honda City to feature the company's latest 2-motor full-hybrid i-MMD drivetrain. We’ve driven the car, albeit for a short while and all photos or videos of the car’s interior are embargoed until the car is launched. You can read our review here. The video above demonstrates the Honda City RS' Sensing feature at work. As explained in our review, the City RS’ Sensing features an upgraded, wider
