Just recently, Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors (HSDM), the official distributor of Hyundai vehicles in Malaysia, organized a media preview of the 2020 Hyundai Kona ahead of the model's introduction. Let's take a look at how well the Hyundai Kona fares in Malaysia, as we've driven the Kona in New Zealand a couple of years ago. Exterior – Handsome looks, unlike anything else Despite being a three-year-old model (Hyundai also just introduced the facelifted model overseas), the Hyundai Kona still looks fr

The latest 8th-generation 2021 Hyundai Sonata 2.5 aspires to capture buyers who are looking at the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. Being a fully imported (CBU) model, the Sonata loses out on the price factor with a hefty price tag of RM 206,888 (OTR without insurance & SST). No powerful turbocharged engine nor ADAS in this all-new Sonata but there are some interesting features that may appeal to buyers. As mentioned in the video, the Sonata is going to sell for its novelty. Quirky features like t

Whether you like it or not, there's no denying that the de facto B-segment SUV in Malaysia is the Honda HRV. Until the first-ever Toyota Corolla Cross arrives next year, the Honda HR-V will likely be sitting rather comfortably on its throne. But will Hyundai fare better? We reckon that the upcoming Hyundai Kona has all the right ingredients to challenge the Honda HR-V at its own game. A quick disclaimer: for the purpose of this review, we were flown to New Zealand to sample the Hyundai Kona. As

It's been a long time coming - since KL International Motor Show (KLIMS) 2018 - but the Korean contender to the Proton X50, the Hyundai Kona, launches tomorrow. What do we know about the Kona? We've been charting it around its trips, from a first drive in New Zealand and closer to home, a preview and quick review in Malaysia. To recap, the B-segment SUV will have three variants at launch, with the range-topper having a different engine from the rest and also a host of advanced driver assistance

When Hyundai Sime Darby Malaysia (HSDM) opened bookings for the 2020 Hyundai Kona, we also reported that the B-segment SUV is expected to be priced around RM 1,1x,xxx but no other info was released. Now HSDM has confirmed that prices will start from RM 115,000 onwards. Based on our leaked information, HSDM will be offering 3 variants at launch; 2.0 Standard, 2.0 Mid, 1.6 T-GDi High. Looks like the 2.0 Standard will be the variant priced at RM 115,000. We can estimate that the top-spec 1.6 T-GDi

Although Proton has yet to confirm when the Proton X50 will be launched, we are pretty certain it will be within the month of October. Some sources have even provided us with a very specific date – October 15. The October timeline is easy to understand because Proton desperately needs the X50 to close the gap in its annual sales target (MCO not helping). As of June 2020, Proton’s cumulative sales stood at 37,078 units versus Perodua’s 74,170 units. Once past October, Proton will have less than 2

The Hyundai Sonata’s history in Malaysia dates all the way back to the second-generation (Y2) model, but it was the sixth-generation YF model when the model really took off in Malaysia. The YF-generation Hyundai Sonata’s Fluidic Sculpture design language won fans over, as it was considerably more stylish than the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord from that era. If that wasn’t enough, the YF Sonata was also priced cheaper than its rivals at that time. Now in its eighth generation, armed with a comple

It has been a little over 3 months since Hyundai Indonesia launched the pre-facelift Hyundai Kona Electric alongside the Ioniq Electric in the archipelago. However, we have found some spyshots that suggest the facelift might be heading there soon. Indra Fathan shared these photos via his Instagram, and the photos were allegedly taken at a Hyundai facility in Indonesia.

For many Malaysians wanting a brand-new pure hybrid car, the Hyundai Ioniq is one of the few choices for those wanting to drive green. However, it appears that the model has been dropped for the Malaysian market. A quick search on Hyundai’s website shows that the Ioniq is absent from its model line-up. Though some markets including Australia and Singapore have received the facelift, there has been no news for its arrival in Malaysia. The locally-assembled (CKD) Ioniq was unveiled here back in 20

At launch, HSDM will offer the Kona facelift with a new powertrain, namely the Smartstream G2.0 Atkinson cycle naturally-aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine. The new SmartStream engine is good for 149 PS and 180 Nm, mated to a CVT-type automatic that sends drive to the front wheels. The turbocharged

After suddenly showing up undisguised on Ara Damansara streets last week, the 2020 Hyundai Kona is now officially open for booking per Hyundai Malaysia's website. It's welcome news for Malaysians who have been eagerly waiting for this Korean B-segment SUV, since the last time any of us got a glimpse of it was at the 2018 Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show (KLIMS).

A little over four months since its introduction in Malaysia, it seems that the 2021 Hyundai Kona facelift will soon be upon us! There's rows of them, and this sole image was contributed by WapCar.my reader William, shot in an unnamed location. The Kona facelift brings upon a host of changes compared to the pre-facelift that was initially launched here.

Hyundai Sime-Darby Motors (HSDM) has announced that they will launch the Hyundai Kona within the fourth quarter of the year. The model will arrive in Malaysia as a fully imported (CBU) model from Hyundai’s Ulsan plant in Korea. Earlier, HSDM has opened bookings for the Kona, whereby potential buyers can put down a RM 288 fee to book one. The Hyundai Kona will be HSDM’s first-ever B-segment SUV and will compete against the Honda HR-V, Mazda CX-3, as well as the upcoming Proton X50. Thus far, HSDM

So here it is - we've taken a gander at the Malaysian-spec Hyundai Kona, and Hyundai really, really wants you to think Kona = good times.

Walaupun Proton belum dapat memastikan bila Proton X50 akan dilancarkan, kami cukup yakin ia akan berlaku dalam bulan Oktober. Beberapa sumber kami yang dipercayai memberi tarikh yang sangat spesifik - 15 Oktober. Pelancaran pada bulan Oktober mudah difahami kerana Proton sangat memerlukan X50 untuk menutup jurang sasaran penjualan tahunannya yang terganggu akibat pandemik Covid-19. Sehingga Jun 2020, Proton hanya berjaya menjual 37,078 unit kereta berbanding 74,170 unit oleh Perodua. Sebaik saj

Starting from RM 158,888 (on-the-road, without insurance), the all-new Elantra is set to add some spicy competition to the C-segment sedan market.

对于许多想买纯混动汽车的马来西亚人来说，Hyundai Ioniq是为数不多的绿色选择。然而，这款车型似乎已经要退出大马市场了。 快速在Hyundai的网站上浏览一下，我们会发现Ioniq已经在车系列表中消失了。尽管像澳大利亚和新加坡等国的Ioniq车型都已经进行了升级改款，但我国目前还没有任何消息。 本地组装（CKD）的Ioniq在2016年由Hyundai Sime Darby Motors（HSDM）发布上市，共有两个车型可选，分别为HEV和HEV Plus，标价从RM 99,888起跳。 Ioniq的这两个车型都搭载了一具1.6升的Kappa II汽油缸内直喷（GDI）引擎，搭配一具32kW的电动马达，混合动力输出达到了141 PS和265 Nm。 Ioniq是我国最省油的车型，HEV Plus车型的油耗低至百公里4.9公升。除了省油以外，它也是ASEAN NCAP测试过的最安全的车型，成绩高达91.98分。 遗憾的是，大马人民对混动车的认可度并不高，因此其改款车型很可能不会在我国推出。不过，如果你对Ioniq还有兴趣，或许你唯一的选择就是二手车市场了，况且在那里你也能有更多的

The 2020 Hyundai Kona was launched earlier this week with an introductory price of RM 115,888 to RM 143,888 for three variants – the naturally aspirated 2.0 Standard and 2.0 Active, and the range topping 1.6 Turbo, all imported from Korea (CBU). The introductory price will expire on 31-Dec 2020, when the government’s 50 percent discount on SST for imported cars end. After that, prices for the 2021 Hyundai Kona will be increased to: Kona 2.0 MPI Standard: RM 123,888 Kona 2.0 MPI Active: RM 138,88

The new Hyundai Elantra offers an alternative option if you’re shopping for a C-segment saloon. Being a CBU import from Korea, it is a bit tougher for the Elantra to compete with the CKD Honda Civic. A CBU rival of the Hyundai Elantra would be the Japan-made Mazda 3 Sedan 1.5. The Hyundai Elantra is now open for booking, but prices are yet to be announced. We expect the price to be around the price of the Mazda 3 sedan 1.5, which is around RM 137,660. One Korean and the other Japanese, we figure

大马Hyundai刚刚发布了新款Hyundai Elantra的图片，继Hyundai Kona和Hyundai Sonata的发布之后，大马Hyundai似乎又要为自己的车系引入新成员了。 新款Hyundai Elantra或许很快就会登陆我国，这款车在韩国和新加坡被称为Hyundai Avante。 在全球范围内，Elantra/Avante有多套动力系统可供选择（汽油、混动和LPG天然气），不过马来西亚市场很可能只能得到一具1.6升的SmartStream G1.6汽油引擎，搭配一具CVT变速箱。 Hyundai Elantra可能会从韩国整车进口（CBU）。 这套动力系统的最大马力为123 PS，最大扭力为154 Nm，百公里加速成绩为10.4秒。 流畅的外观设计会让我们想起Hyundai Sonata，但追加了更加复杂的曲面。车上搭载了目前最先进的ADAS套件，但大马版车型的具体配备尚未公布。 如果标价合理的话，我们认为Hyundai Elantra会进一步让目前的C级轿车市场更加白热化。
