There was a short period of time between 2011 until 2013 when Malaysian car buyers enjoyed a too good to be true deal - import and excise duties were completely waived for fully imported hybrid models with engine capacities below 2,000 cc. The Japan-made Toyota Prius, Honda Insight and CR-Z were introduced here. Between 2009 to 2010, duty exemption was also available, but at a lower rate - 100 percent exemption on import duties and 50 percent discount on excise duties. At a time when even the mo

From the BMW 8 Series to the Toyota Supra, it seems every old name is making a comeback. Even relatively new ones too. Or if the recent news of Honda trademarking the CR-Z name is anything to go by. Calm down now. As we have pointed out previously, companies do trademarks simply to ensure nobody else uses the name. There is little evidence to support the claim many sites are banging out that a second-generation CR-Z is imminent. However, the news does warrant a little introspection to ask the im

Introduction of the all-new Honda Jazz in Malaysia is still some years away, but it will certainly reach here, probably by around 2021, mostly due to additional lead time required for local assembly.

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

在美国，Mazda已经超越了传统的口碑王Toyota和Lexus，成为了最可靠的汽车品牌。这个结果来源于《消费者报告》的2020年汽车可靠性调查，他们收集了超过300,000辆车主的体验数据。 Mazda有史以来第一次登顶，紧随其后的是Toyota，而Lexus则位居第三。 《消费者报告》表示，Mazda能够取得这么好的成绩，有一个原因就是因为它没有对新车型进行大幅的改动。 《消费者报告》指出：“Mazda成功的关键在于，他们对车型的改进十分保守，并且避免了引进新动力系统和多媒体系统的风险。他们的全系产品都得益于共用的平台和部件，在重新设计时也只会有细微的变动。” 不过，Toyota的排名依旧十分靠前，Toyota的每一款车型也都高于平均水平。Lexus的排名因为其旗舰车型LS而有所下滑，除此之外，Lexus的所有车型都有着出色的可靠性，车主也都有着十分愉悦的用车体验。 Honda排名第五，排在了第四名的Buick之后，但领先于第六名的Hyundai。在所有调查的Honda车型中，Honda HR-V是可靠性最好的。 有趣的是，与Honda City RS e:HEV采用同具动力系统的
