Aprilia mempertontonkan imej jentera 'Superbike' RSV4 dan RSV4 Factory 2021 kepada umum pada Januari lalu. Tindakan itu pantas mencetuskan keterujaan buat peminat jenama Itali itu di seluruh dunia.

Sekalipun enjin V4 yang dipertingkatkan kepada 1,099 cc itu kini patuh piawaian emisi Euro 5, ia meraih pening

Initially conceived as a better alternative to blind spot monitoring, Honda’s ingenious LaneWatch system could be discontinued in the near future. What is Honda LaneWatch? Honda LaneWatch, like the name suggests, utilizes a camera mounted on the passenger-side wing mirror that feeds a video stream to your car’s head unit. The aim is to allow drivers to see if there are motorcyclists or other drives in their blind spot, and it also works in poor weather conditions. If it’s so good, why does Honda

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

Electric vehicles are hardly a viable option in Malaysia as we do not have the necessary infrastructure and policies in place to support prolonged use of high voltage cars. I'm not talking just about setting up more charging stations – in fact, this is the easiest concern to address. Issues such as disposal of high voltage batteries, the readiness of emergency services personnel to handle accidents involving EVs and the reliability of EVs in hot tropical climates. EVs are the inevitable future a

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

At the ongoing Auto China 2020, Honda unveiled the Honda CR-V Sport Hybrid e+, the first Honda model in China to feature a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain.

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,

Pictures from autonetmagz (sourced from Car Spotting TH) show the adorable Honda e spotted on a truck bed in Thailand. With the MINI Cooper SE already entering the SEA market (and being sold out in Malaysia), could it be that the Honda E is finally making its way to our region? The answer is no. We’d really love to see that happen, but Honda has clearly stated that the Honda E is strictly for Europe and Japan only. Even in the land down under (where 100 units of the MINI Cooper SE were sold out)

Malaysians are eagerly waiting for Proton's next compact SUV which is expected to arrive after the locally assembled Proton X70 which is speculated to be called the Proton X50. Although Proton has never confirmed (nor deny) whether their next SUV will be called the Proton X50, we know that it will be based on the Geely Binyue – courtesy of Proton's foreign strategic partner. We've tested the Geely Binyue in China, not to lay a death sentence on the Proton X50, but to get a first taste of what pr

Alongside the introduction of the all-new W223 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the Stuttgart-based also gave its flagship sedan a new key fob. Despite all the technology buzz surrounding the brand-new S-Class, one may find it weird that Mercedes-Benz chose to use a traditional-looking key, instead of a fancier display key found on the BMW 7 Series. The main reason why Mercedes-Benz chose to use such a key is because the company already offers the Mercedes Me Connect app – its all-in-one app that features

The Proton X70 is the first model to be introduced to the local market since the inception of the Proton-Geely era. At present, the Proton X70 is fully imported from China while Proton upgrades its existing Tanjung Malim manufacturing facility.

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.

The current-generation Honda HR-V has been around since 2014 and the model received its mid-life update in 2018. Now in its sixth-year, it appears that Honda is already working on the next-generation HR-V (sold as the Vezel in Japan), which is said to go on sale by December 2020. According to a report by CarSensor, the next-generation Honda HR-V will not be built on the same platform as the fourth-generation Honda Jazz (the fourth-generation Jazz uses a modified version of third-gen’s platform),

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

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
