The B-segment hatch market is the most popular market in the Asian region, so it is not a surprise that there are plenty of options for the picking. Out of all the options, the Honda Jazz and the Toyota Yaris reigns supreme, with only the Mazda 2 being close to holding a candle next to these two. Disclaimer: The Perodua Myvi don’t count. The car sits in a class of its own! Between the Honda Jazz and the Toyota Yaris’s offerings, many are hard pressed to determine which car is better suited for t

The all-new 2021 Honda HR-V - or Vezel as it is known in Japan - made its global debut last month.

Malaysia's D-segment sedan market isn't what one can term as 'rapidly growing' - that's an honour SUVs wear. But for those looking for 'big cars' to impress family members with, the used car market is certainly a compelling place to look. So this is what we'll do today: we'll be comparing the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, and Volkswagen Passat in this edition of our resale value battle. To keep things fair, we only selected models that were updated/introduced for the 2017 model year. Toyota Camry

Talk about sitting on the backburner: the fully-imported (CBU India) 2021 Kia Seltos, first previewed in Malaysia in February last year, finally gets a price list. Confirmed prices start from RM 115,888. Two variants of the B-segment SUV are offered here, and bookings have been open since September 2020.

Just yesterday we saw the leaked patent images of the upcoming all-new 2021 Honda HR-V. In anticipation of its global debut next week (18 February), we spent some time colouring between the lines of the patent images. Compared to the current Honda HR-V, the patent image displays a more angular overall look. Changes include a more prominent grille, door-mounted side mirrors and a sleeker roof line. Details on the all-new 2021 Honda HR-V’s powertrain are still vague, but we are expecting a 1.5-lit

The Honda HR-V has received several notable updates across the board in Malaysia today, encapsulating a new colour, exterior updates, and a new touchscreen infotainment system. Now with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay! All four variants of the B-segment SUV will now come with a 7-inch Display Audio touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support. Every variant will also get 2 additional USB ports in the centre console for added convenience. Meanwhile, the HR-V Sport Hy

Merely weeks after its global debut in Japan, the all-new 2021 Honda HR-V has been spotted in Thailand. As seen on social media sites, this particular Honda HR-V was spotted somewhere in the vicinity of Ayutthaya, Thailand – the same area where Honda Thailand has a production facility. Despite its heavy camouflage, it is clearly the all-new Honda HR-V, as the design cues pretty much mirror that of the camouflaged units first seen in Japan.

Honda Malaysia welcomed the tenth generation 2020 Honda Accord with a starting price of RM 185,900. Even after the recent price increase, the Honda CR-V’s range topper, 1.5L TC-P, is still priced below the base spec Accord 1.5L TC at RM 175,900. So, should you make the jump and pay RM 10,000 more for the lower spec Accord 1.5L TC? In the new generation Accord, Honda has done away with the 2.0-litre and 2.4-litre engines in favour for a more fuel efficient 1.5-litre Turbocharged unit. It’s essent

It's no secret that the Honda HR-V will be receiving a total refresh this year. The all-new model will be making its world premiere on 18-February 2021, earlier than the initially-predicted March debut. Japanese media have begun receiving pamphlets detailing the B-segment SUV. Though only silhouettes of the car can be seen, initial impressions shows that the refresh stays rather true-to-form to the Honda SUV e:concept. Among the cues carried over is the dual-tone colour scheme - characterised by

Now that the locally assembled (CKD) Proton X70 is finally here, you must be thinking: RM 122k for a C-segment SUV complete with panoramic sunroof? Now that’s affordable! But wait, is the affordably priced X70 the most practical option? The similarly priced Honda HR-V begs to differ. We know what you're thinking, the CKD Proton X70 is a C-segment SUV, while the Honda HR-V falls in B-segment category. But the biggest deciding factor here is the price of the cars. So it is inevitable to compare th

The all-new Honda HR-V, which is known in Japan as the Vezel, will soon go on sale there on 23-April. Dealers have already been given an early preview of the sub-compact SUV and their response has been very positive. The highest specifications Vezel e:HEV Play variant, which spots a two-tone colour interior, is said to be trimmed in materials that feel more expensive than a Toyota Harrier. That’s quite some high praise. Sounds like mere dealer talk? Maybe, but the person behind Japanese publicat

Earlier this year, Honda Malaysia updated the 2021 Honda HR-V with a few goodies, chief among them is the new 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The new infotainment system is standard across all variants of the Honda HR-V, starting from the E variant, all the way to the RS. Apart from the new infotainment system, the USB ports are relocated to the centre console. To recap, the E, V and RS variants of the HR-V are powered by a 1.8-litre, naturall

If you’re reading this, you would know by now that the fifth generation GN series 2020 Honda City has just been launched in Malaysia.

Ditubuhkan pada 15 November 2000, Honda Malaysia tak lama lagi akan menyambut ulangtahun ke-20 tahun mereka di Malaysia. Pada tahun 2019, Honda Malaysia berjaya menjual sebanyak 928,271 unit kereta (jumlah kumulatif) sejak tahun 2001. Majoriti daripada jualan tersebut datangnya dari model-model dipasang tempatan (CKD). Kita boleh jangkakan yang kilang Honda di Pegoh akan mencapai jumlah kumulatif penghasilan unit kereta CKD yang kesejuta dalam separuh pertama 2021 – lebih kurang 4 tahun selepas

At long last, the 2021 Toyota Corolla Cross is here. The new SUV from Toyota will be competing in one of the most competitive segments in Malaysia. Let’s dive into one of the most highly-anticipated comparisons of the year, comparing the Corolla Cross against established rivals such as the Honda HR-V. The Corolla Cross is actually closer to a Subaru XV than a Honda HR-V but since the XV is a slow seller here, there's not much sales for Toyota to pull from Subaru. Instead, Toyota will of course b

Established on 15-November 2000, Honda Malaysia will soon be celebrating its 20th year anniversary in Malaysia. As of 2019, Honda Malaysia had sold a cumulative total of 928,271 cars since 2001. The majority of the sales were contributed by locally-assembled (CKD) models. We can expect the Pegoh plant to hit its cumulative 1 millionth CKD car milestone within the first half of 2021, nearly four years after the company hit its 600,000th car milestone in March 2017.

Earlier in the year, Perodua hinted that their brand-new Perodua D55L SUV is slated for a 2020 market launch. It’ll be based on the Toyota Raize/Daihatsu Rocky that are currently on sale in Japan. What about UMW Toyota Motor then? Will they offer the Raize similar to how they offer the Toyota Rush and Perodua Aruz side by side? Sources in UMW Toyota familiar to the matter gave a resounding no, the Raize will not be sold as a Toyota in Malaysia. This is largely due to the fact that UMW Toyota is

The recently-introduced TNGA-based Toyota Yaris Cross (and its Yaris hatchback sibling) has garnered a lot of attention lately, as many readers love the way the design of the new model. But for many of us, the Yaris and Yaris Cross will remain as images or videos on our screens, as these two models are unlikely to come to Malaysia. Here's why. Wait, just how small is it? The first reason why the models aren’t destined for Malaysia is because of their size. Compared to the Yaris we’re familiar wi

Honda HR-V 2021 serba baru yang membuat debut global di Jepun bulan lepas sebagai Honda Vezel telah mengancam jualan dalam Honda itu sendiri.

In the next month or two, Honda will host yet another world premiere in Malaysia – the global launch of the all-new GN series Honda City Hybrid, now re-designated as the Honda City RS. When the fifth generation Honda City made its world debut in Thailand last year, it was powered by a 1.0-litre three-cylinder VTEC Turbo engine.

Surprising as it may sound, Honda Malaysia launched only one new model in 2019, which was the facelifted Honda HR-V. That marks quite a drop, considering that Honda Malaysia was rather aggressive with new product launches back in 2017 and 2018. The reason is due to delays in pricing approvals by the government, which not only delayed products from Honda, but other manufacturers as well. Pay BMW money for an Accord?
