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. Kepada sesiapa yang tidak tahu, Raider 150 Fi adalah generasi terbaharu bagi Suzuki Belang 150 yang pernah dijual di pasaran tempatan satu ketika du

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

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

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

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

The automotive and tech giants will work together in the digitalization field, intelligent cockpits, autonomous drive, and low carbon development. Both parties will work together in developing the next-generation intelligent vehicle cockpits by integrating both Geely and Tencent ecosystems.

Toyota South Africa has launched its newest and cheapest model there and it looks awfully familiar. That’s because the Toyota Agya is the Perodua Axia’s twin (triplet if you include the Daihatsu Ayla). Starting at ZAR 178,600 for the base 5-speed manual transmission, the Indonesian-built Agya is the cheapest Toyota model in the nation famous for the sweet sounds of the vuvuzela. It comes standard with 14-inch alloy wheels, manual air-conditioning, electric windows, a start button, ABS, and dual

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. Some of you may not know but currently, the X70’s 1.8-litre four-cylinder turbocharged TGDi engine is fed with Shell-branded engine oil. This raised some eyebrows among consumers as to why Proton did not engage its long-time lubricants partner, Petronas f

Second, prices have not been announced.

More importantly, the production car isn’t too different from the Urban EV Concept that was presented at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, which f
