Ahead of its full reveal tomorrow, Kia has taken the covers off the updated 2021 Kia K3 (Cerato/Forte). Aiming to sway prospective customers away from the Hyundai Elantra, the facelifted car sports a more streamlined design all-around. Slim LED headlights flank Kia's now-thinner signature 'Tiger Nose' grille, now appended with chrome detailing. The front end tweaks - bookended by a redesigned, sharper lower half - makes the car reminiscent of its bigger Kia K5 (Optima) sibling. It also gets a re
As a pillar model of the brand, Kia K3 is a high cost-effective option in its market segments. Last year at ASNA, Kia officially launched a new generation of Forte, which borrows heavily from its K3 cousin. The price of the 2020 Kia Forte GT has also been exposed recently. It starts at $23,215 with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and $23,815 with a six-speed manual transmission. You know, the prices are cheaper than its cousins Hyundai Elantra Sport sedan and it will hit the mar
“Myvi” is the derivation of “My Vehicle," "My Vision" and "Malaysian Vision”. That’s what it says on the official Daihatsu website. The Perodua Myvi was the first Perodua to not receive a name obtained from the Malay language. Launched in 2005, the B-segment hatchback has become a household name, superseding older Malaysian-produced cars like the Proton Wira. Sharing parts with the Daihatsu Boon, Subaru Justy, and Toyota Passo, it is common to see badge conversions of this beloved hatchback. The
Thanks to modern day sound insulation, you don’t realise how hot and bothered things are under the hood. Holding the engine in place and absorbing most of the engine's vibration are engine mounts. They take a lot of punishment. Although generally low-maintenance, engine mounts may wear out sooner than you think. Here we will discuss the symptoms of bad engine mounts in your car. A car engine is heavy. Even a small Perodua Axia’s 1KR-VE weighs about 70 kg. A Perodua Myvi’s 2NR-VE weighs about 86
Well, yes and no. Yes, they are both 1.5-litre Dual VVT-i engine from the NR engine family and they are both made in the same Daihatsu Perodua Engine Manufacturing plant in Sendayan Techvalley in Negeri Sembilan. And no, they have slightly different engine codes, 2NR-FE for the Toyota Yaris and 2NR-VE for the Perodua Myvi. However, it’s just a different suffix for Toyota and Daihatsu. Wikipedia will tell you otherwise, saying that the Daihatsu's 2NR-VE is an steel block while the Toyota's 2NR-FE
It was one of the worst-selling Perodua models ever, but the Perodua Nautica wasn’t a problematic car. It was the successor to the popular Kembara and Perodua was riding on a wave of successful models then as the second “national” carmaker began to overtake Proton as the best-selling make in Malaysia. To call the Nautica the worst Perodua model because of its lacklustre sales is pretty unfair considering what actually went wrong. But before we dive right into what went wrong with the D55L’s pred
A week after previewing the all-new 2021 Hyundai Elantra in Malaysia, Hyundai-Sime Darby Motor (HSDM) has launched the new C-segment here. Introductory prices start from RM 158,888 for the sole 1.6 variant. Now in its seventh-generation, the all-new Hyundai Elantra competes against rival C-segment sedans such as the Honda Civic, Mazda 3 Sedan, and Toyota Corolla Altis. The all-new Hyundai Elantra is now imported (CBU) from Korea. Compared to its rivals, the Hyundai Elantra is priced closer to th
Apakah maksud nama Myvi? “Myvi” sebenarnya adalah singkatan untuk “My Vehicle”, “My Vision” dan “Malaysian Vision”. Maksud ini dipetik daripada laman sesawang rasmi Daihatsu. Lagi, tahukah anda yang Perodua Myvi merupakan model Perodua pertama yang tidak dinamakan dari bahasa Melayu? Banyak benda kita belajar hari ni, ya? Dilancarkan pada tahun 2005, hatchback segmen B ini semakin lama semakin dikenali seantero Malaysia sehingga mengalahkan kereta-kereta lama keluaran Malaysia yang dahulu sepert
While the 2021 Perodua D55L steadily gains hype in Malaysia, our neighbours have a better idea of things to come - information about the Indonesian-spec Toyota Raize and Daihatsu Rocky have come about online. In a way or the other, it gives us a peek of things to come - remember that the D55L (actual name is uncomfirmed) is based on the Toyota/Daihatsu twins. Powertrain details Although their names are not spelt outright, our colleagues at Autofun Indonesia understand that the 'A250' and 'A251'
As anticipation grows over the 2021 Perodua Ativa, lots have been said about Perodua's newest upstart - especially in terms of its powertrain. In case you didn't already know, the turbocharged engine and CVT combo will be Perodua's first, but it's seen reliable use powering other models. What other cars share this engine? Codenamed 1KR-VET, the 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder mill found in the Ativa was first introduced in 2016, and is currently shared by a couple of very toughly-named car
Perodua Kembara telah menjadi ikon negara kerana ia cukup laris. Untuk itu, Perodua berhasrat untuk menyambung kejayaan tersebut melalui Perodua Nautica. Tanpa sebarang permasalahan teknikal, ia telah menjadi model Perodua yang paling teruk dari segi jualan. Sebelum kami merungkai punca sebenar, mari kita ikuti sejarah kereta "nasional" yang bermula sejak tahun 1985. Sekiranya anda mengikuti sejarah automotif di Malaysia, anda mungkin mengetahui bahawa syarikat Proton dan Perodua memiliki keisti
As you might have already know, the latest fifth generation Honda City has just gone on sale in Thailand earlier this year. Honda's B-segment sedan will now one-up its chief rival the Toyota Vios with an all-new 1.0-litre turbocharged engine. The latest Honda City is not expected to be launched in Malaysia until 2021. Thailand remains the only market in the world to sell it, to be followed by India in the second half of 2020, and the rest of world starting 2021. This means that we can't give you
Besides the viscosity rating of engine oil, we also have the choice of what type of oil we’d like to use in our car – mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and fully-synthetic oil. While most of us would agree that fully synthetic engine oils are the better choice, some older cars show problems when fully-synthetic engine oil is used. We’ve talked about their differences before, and the main advantages of fully-synthetic oil would be the more consistent molecule size and the longer service interval.
Previously, we’ve explained why manufacturers continue the use of 3-cylinder engines. Fuel-efficiency and emission are among the top reasons, but what if they decide to extract every bit of performance from a 3-cylinder engine? So without further ado, here are the current top-3 most powerful cars, which are either on sale or will be on the market, with a 3-cylinder engine. BMW i8, from RM 1,408,800 The BMW i8 is actually more than 6 years old now and it still looks like it belongs in a sci-fi mo
Malaysia is now into its sixth week of the Movement Control Order (MCO) triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic. This also means that many cars have been left parked for an extended period of time. To be clear, leaving a car parked for an extended period of time won’t damage your car. It’s not unusual for new cars to be parked at a dealer’s lot for months before it is sold. My own 36-year old classic is driven only about once a month but it starts at the first crank every single time. The difference
Previously, we’ve talked about why premium brands like Volvo and BMW use 3-cylinder engines in their cars. Now, Jaguar Land Rover has joined the gang by introducing a new plug-in hybrid powertrain with a 1.5-litre turbocharged 3-cylinder engine. The 1.5-litre turbocharged 3-cylinder engine is the smallest in the Ingenium range, it sends 200 PS/280 Nm to the front wheels through a new 8-speed automatic transmission. Similar to Volvo’s T8 system, the electric motor mounted on the rear axle powers
Mirror Bore Coating Technology – fancy name, but this is the feature that unites both the recently-introduced all-new 2020 Nissan Almera and the legendary Nissan GT-R. Now, before we get into technicalities, let’s recap what does the all-new Nissan Almera bring to the table. Right off the bat is the brand-new HR10DET 1-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine that does 100 PS and 152 Nm. While these figures are hardly ground-breaking, what sets the Almera apart from the competition is its
When anyone mentions Subaru, one will invariably associate the brand with rallying, horizontally-opposed engines (popularly known as boxer) and all-wheel drive (AWD). One can even argue that these attributes are the very pillars of what Subaru stands for. Today, only Subaru and Porsche are torchbearers of this unique engine layout, but Subaru is the only manufacturer in the world to put boxer engines and all-wheel drive in ALL its models bar the BRZ (Porsche uses it only on its core sports cars)
Basic information 2011 BMW 320d E90 MSport Reasons why I bought this car I was doing long-distance weekly travelling (Shah Alam - Johor Bahru - Shah Alam) and thought of getting a good car to serve that purpose. The criteria for the car are as follows: Good fuel consumption Minimal on the maintenance cost Sporty look & feel Decent power Car selection process ● I had a budget of RM250,000 ● Models that I have considered include: Volvo S40, Mercedes-Benz C200 ● Reasons why I chose this car: Good f
So, you want to buy a used car. Maybe it’s a project car, a unique car model you’ve always wanted, or a car model that’s not sold brand new in Malaysia. If your reason for buying a used car is a tight budget, you might want to consider other options like public transportation or a motorcycle. If you’re still here after reading that, we assume you’re serious about this, regardless of your reasons. Well, there’s a long list of things to look out for when buying used cars. In this article, we will
The 2021 Honda City Hatchback made its global debut in Thailand last November, and we've learnt that its now heading to Indonesia. Along with that, there's hints of its possible specs when the car comes to Malaysia. The City's Hatchback's specs was spotted on Indonesia's Samsat website (think of it as our Road Transport Department, JPJ). The site lists a particular vehicle's recommended price list next to its name and from there we can get a brief idea of the specs of a car. Which is where the i
Set to be introduced in early-2021, the Perodua D55L is Perodua’s upcoming B-segment SUV that is expected to feature a number of firsts for the company. Perhaps the most important change for Perodua is the possible introduction of a turbocharged engine in the D55L – a first for Perodua. Codenamed 1KR-VET, the Perodua D55L’s engine is essentially a turbocharged Axia engine. The 1KR-VET was first fitted to the Japan-market Daihatsu Thor in 2016, before finding its way to the Daihatsu Rocky/Toyota
Is the Proton X50's using the same engine as the Volvo XC40? It depends on who are you asking. Proton fans (and sales people) insist that it's the same engine but others say it's similar but not the same. To recap, the Proton X50 rides on Geely’s BMA platform, which is developed in-house by Geely themselves, without Volvo’s input. The Volvo XC40 however, rides on the more sophisticated CMA platform, which is co-developed by both Geely and Volvo, via their Sweden-based CEVT joint-venture company.
It’s time to sell your car. You’ve already figured out how to get the highest price and how to clean the interior, but how do you sell your car without going through a used car dealer? Assuming that you’ve somehow managed to find for a buyer that’s willing to buy your old car, there are some steps to follow before you can sell off your old car. Also Read: Selling your car soon? Here's how to ensure you get the highest price If it’s a cash sale and there’s no outstanding loan, it’s pretty straigh

Seminggu selepas tayangan Hyundai Elantra 2021 serba baru yang diadakan di Malaysia, Hyundai-Sime Darby Motor (HSDM) telah melancarkan sedan segmen C itu di sini. Harganya bermula dari RM 158,888 bagi varian 1.6 tunggal itu. Kini pada generasi ketujuhnya, Hyundai Elantra serba baru bersaing dengan sedan-sedan segmen C yang lain seperti Honda Civic, Mazda 3 Sedan, dan juga Toyota Corolla Altis. Hyundai Elantra serba baru kini diimpot (CBU) dari Korea. Jika dibandingkan dengan pesaingnya, Hyundai
Honda engineers have actually published their research on the 1.0-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged engine that made its way into the 2020 Honda City in Thailand. With such insights, we thought we'd share our view on it. The 1.0-litre VTEC Turbo engine was first introduced in the European Honda Civic hatchback. Mechanically, the powertrain is identical to the one in the turbocharged Honda City. With that established, let’s crack on. There were 3 goals during the development of this engine: Superior
While the whole nation is abuzz with the Proton X50, there are some who would probably be more interested in the upcoming Perodua D55L. The still-unnamed SUV based on the Toyota Raize/Daihatsu Rocky will be Perodua’s successor to their previous SUVs, the Kembara and the Nautica. For now, we’ll take an off-road trip in the Kembara. It was so well-loved that we speculated Perodua might revive the name for the production D55L. It captured Malaysian hearts to venture the great outdoors or at least t
After a couple of weeks of teaser after teaser, Honda Malaysia has finally dropped the bomb - the all-new 2020 Honda City RS is open for booking! Yes, you read that right - it’ll have a best-in-class 253 Nm! Malaysians are also the first to get this all-new model as this is the world premiere of the hybrid City in this spec! The B-segment sedan will be fitted with the new i-MMD powertrain (Intelligent Multi-Mode Drive) that replaces the old i-DCD (Intelligent Dual-Clutch Drive). Power output is
The highly anticipated Proton X50 was finally publicly unveiled last week and although some mistakes were made on our part, we’re still very much excited to see how it drives. Besides having Proton’s trademark ride and handling on the hot crossover, another thing to look forward to would be the brand-new 1.5-litre 3-cylinder port injected engine. Proton labels this engine as a multi-point injected (MPI) engine – perhaps an homage to the Iswara which was badged as an MPI in the UK? The Proton X50
