The Honda BR-V is an entry-level, three-row seat, seven-seater vehicle. With a ground clearance of 201 mm, it rides 3 mm higher than even a Honda CR-V (even when fitted with all-wheel drive). At the same time, it’s only has front-wheel drive, with an elongated rear half that looks more like an MPV than an SUV. So what is the Honda BR-V? Is it an MPV or an SUV? The simple answer is that it’s an SUV. Honda Malaysia’s own marketing materials describe it as a crossover, which is just another way of

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

Previously we reported that Hyundai has an MPV named the Hyundai Custo in the works in China, but our previous reports are of an MPV in the compact segment. Now clear spy shots of the MPV in China have surfaced on the internet and we discovered that the Custo is not a small MPV at all. At first glance, the Hyundai Custo looked to be in bad shape, even the front tow hook is deployed! We suspect this could be a result of having its camouflage stickers removed.

Sebelum ini, kami pernah melaporkan yang Hyundai ada sebuah MPV yang diberi nama Hyundai Custo yang sedang dibina di China. Tapi, laporan tersebut berkaitan dengan MPV dalam segmen kompak. Kini, gambar intipan yang jelas menunjukkan MPV tersebut di China telah muncul dan kami dapati Custo bukanlah MPV bersaiz kecil sama sekali. Sekilas pandang, Hyundai Custo tersebut tampak buruk, malah penyangkut tunda hadapannya juga terkeluar! Kami rasa ini kerana pelekat samarannya baru sahaja dicabut. Dari

Proton’s foreign strategic partner, Geely unveiled its first MPV in 2019 called the Geely Jiaji. It’s a 6/7-seater MPV that appeals to families through its modern features and design. The Proton Exora has been around for more than a decade now without any replacement in sight. No matter how they spin it, the Exora is starting to show its age and is having a tough time staying competitive in today’s market space. If Proton ever decides to replace the Exora, there is a strong case to believe that

In short, the then-new model from Honda is an SUV, owing to the fact that Honda offers the Honda Mobilio in Indonesia and Thailand, which is essentially an MPV derivative of the BR-V. Furthermore, the Honda BR-V is taxed by the Malaysian Customs as an SUV, not an MPV.
