If you ever thought the 2021 Lexus RX 300 was a little too sedate for Malaysian streets, this should fix it: the RX 300 Luxury Special Edition. This makes it the fourth RX variant in Malaysia, besides the Premium, Luxury, and F Sport variants. And from RM 421,909.50, it's RM 12k pricier than the Luxury variant. So what does the Luxury Special Edition bring to the table? Well, pretty much only visual enhancements. There's a new multi-piece bodykit that encapsulates a front splitter, side skirts,

Lexus Malaysia recently introduced the new RX here in Malaysia, giving its mid-sized luxury crossover a much-needed update. Now let’s take a side-by-side look of the new RX with the model it replaces. Up front, new ‘triple beam’ LED headlights flank Lexus’ iconic spindle grille. These headlights are also slimmer in profile than the outgoing units, but you’d be hard pressed to differentiate them. Apart from that, the front fog lights have been repositioned to the edges of the bumper. The F Sport

Saban tahun, ada saja berita 'pelik' mengenai jentera bertaraf legenda ini sama ada ingin dijual atau dibeli pada harga tak terfikir dek akal, dan ia bukan berita palsu. Baru-baru ini, tular satu laporan di Terengganu di mana sebuah motosikal RX-Z ditawarkan harga setinggi RM50,000.

Jika sebelum ini kita pernah dikejutkan dengan berita tular mengenai Yamaha RX-Z yang diiklankan dengan harga 'tak masuk akal', timbul satu lagi cerita baru membabitkan jentera legenda itu, baru-baru ini di Terengganu.

2020 has already proven to be a very tough year. With negative emotions running high, we really do not need to see/hear a rare car like a Mazda RX-7 get damaged beyond repair. And the world would have seen one less RX-7 if this kind man hadn’t selflessly saved a complete stranger’s RX-7 from getting damaged by a bad flood! Austin Owens came across a post of a rare FD RX-7 in a flooding casino parking lot on Facebook. Owens knew that if the RX-7 is left as it is, it would only be a matter of time

Sekalipun pengeluaran Yamaha RX-Z sudah dihentikan hampir 10 tahun lalu, ada saja berita mengenai motosikal berkuasa 135cc itu akan diproduksi semula di negara ini berikutan popularitinya. Paling terbaharu adalah minggu lalu apabila tular sebuah foto yang menyatakan Yamaha Jepun bercadang untuk menghasilkan semula jentera yang masih menjadi kegilaan rakyat Malaysia itu. Tidak dapat dipastikan ketulenan foto berkenaan tetapi jika ia benar, pengedar rasmi jenama berkenaan di sini iaitu Hong Leong

Another day, another driving incident. In a video that recently made its rounds on the interweb, a FD Mazda RX-7 is seen gunning it, being chased by what looks like a Proton Satria GTI. Both cars can be seen using the entire width of the road to take the left-hander. Halfway through the corner, you can see the RX-7's tail start to step out and go into oversteer. Again, it seems like the driver has accelerated out of the bend too early, applying too much throttle (since I can't possibly comment o

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

We heard through the grapevine that Lexus has registered the name RZ450e in the USA, Europe, and Australia. This suggested that Lexus has both a new model coming soon and a possible new powertrain. Now that we have a name, we can start speculating on what it can tell us. The Z is a hint that this will be a whole new model of its own. We glanced through Lexus’ history book and noted that the brand has never used the letter Z on any models that have come before. We can’t help but wonder if this co

The 2020 Lexus NX in Malaysia is now fitted with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as standard. The revision has also been extended to the Lexus ES. That said, the 8.0-inch infotainment display remains the same, similar to the Lexus ES (ES 250 Premium) and Lexus RX (RX 300 Premium).

What you see here, is a photo of Mazda’s upcoming rotary engine, mentioned alongside Mazda’s upcoming straight-six engine due for 2022, during the company’s second quarter financial results briefing. As you know, Mazda built its name on the back of rotary engines. It’s the only manufacturer to succeed in producing and improving on Dr. Felix Wankel’s inherently flawed design. While Audi (NSU Ro80), Mercedes-Benz (C111 Concept) gave up on it, Mazda was the only manufacturer who persevered and solv

More news that Mazda’s signature rotary engine is making a return. Previously, it was speculated that Mazda’s upcoming SkyActiv-R rotary engine will return only as a small capacity range extender engine, used to charge a series hybrid’s or an electric vehicle’s battery. The idea of a rotary engine being the primary source of motion in a car today is pretty much out of the question because the inherent nature of rotary engine means that it will not pass today’s exhaust emissions regulation. Or so

The Mazda MX-30 made its debut late last year at the Tokyo Motor Show, as Mazda’s first series production electric vehicle. The model made its debut as a battery electric vehicle (BEV), meaning it runs entirely on batteries, and is said to go on sale later this year. What is less said however, is that the MX-30 won’t exist purely as a BEV model. A hybrid model is expected to join the line-up. At the same time, Mazda have repeatedly mentioned that it is working on a return of its iconic rotary en

在日本上市9个月后,全新的Toyota Harrier终于来到了马来西亚。这张照片是由我们的读者VT分享的,他发现了一辆拖车,上面有6辆经过简单伪装的SUV。从C柱和轮廓上可以清楚地看出,它就是采用了TNGA-K平台的2021 Toyota Harrier。 最新一代的Harrier将放弃上一代车型的2.0升涡轮增压4缸8AR-FTS VVT-iW引擎,改用2.0升Dynamic Force M20A-FKS自然进气4缸引擎(172 PS / 203 Nm)。 此外,还有一款2.5升的混动车型,搭载的则是同样的A25A-FXS引擎(218 PS)。两具引擎均匹配CVT自排变速箱,但混动版的变速箱为行星齿轮组e-CVT。 推荐阅读:All-new 2021 Toyota Harrier launching in Malaysia next year, this or the RAV4? 由于日本现在已经对所有汽车制造商实施了全车系的平均CO2排放限制,因此有必要放弃涡轮增压发动机,改用混合动力和自然进气引擎。 而马来西亚作为一个小市场,只能是日本有什么我们就接受什么了。 与上一代Harr
