Halogen headlights were first introduced in 1962. LED headlights followed 46 years later in 2008 (Lexus). Like all new technologies, LEDs first became available in premium cars only. The use of LED headlights can now be found in premium variants of some cars like the Honda City and Honda Civic. HID lights are only offered in handful of brand-new cars so we’ll leave them out of the conversation. Premium brands like Mercedes-Benz and BMW only offer LED headlights in all their models in Malaysia. T

With headlight technology advancing over the years, it does seem archaic to still be comparing halogen headlights and LED headlights. But with most “normal” cars still being offered with halogen headlights, choosing between halogen headlights and LED headlights is still a relevant question for most of us. We’ve talked about this before, and concluded that if you planned on replacing your current halogen bulbs with aftermarket LED bulbs, the LED bulb would have to mimic the OEM halogen bulb as cl

Earlier spyshots of the upcoming new 2021 Proton Iriz and its sedan sibling, the Proton Persona, often centered around the duo’s exterior and interior, with each spyshot revealing a bit more information. This time around, a spyshot depicting the front of the new Iriz Active in the dark seemingly confirms yet another new feature will be introduced on selected variants the duo – LED headlights. That said, according to our friends over at Funtasticko, LED headlights could be range-topping variant-o

A week after Honda Malaysia teased the all-new 2020 Honda City, they've done it again with today's post - this time confirming the availability of LED headlights. And they've paired the post with a particularly spicy caption too: Time to expose the pretenders. #nomatch #allnewcity #thetakeoverstartsnow A very bold claim to egg on the Toyota Vios. Speaking of which, last week Toyota Malaysia answered with a smart rebuttal claiming that the Vios is timeless. This time? It'd be interesting to see w

At today’s opening of the 2019 Thailand International Motor Expo, the new 2020 Mazda 2 facelift made its debut in the Thai kingdom. As our Malaysian market Mazda 2 is imported from Thailand, we can also expect the new Mazda 2 facelift to be introduced here within the next few months. First launched in Malaysia in January 2015, the Mazda 2 is due for a mid-life update - a second one for Malaysia. The first was done in 2016, which saw the previous car’s halogen headlamps being replaced with the cu

It’s impressive how many modern cars today offer advanced safety features. It wasn’t that long ago that advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) suites were only offered on expensive, high-end cars. Now, even cars like the Perodua Axia offer ADAS and even some like the underrated Nissan Almera offer autonomous emergency brakes (AEB) as standard. These driving aids help enhance the vehicle’s safety, so much so that ASEAN NCAP has revised its methodology beginning from 2021. Also read: 2021 Perodu

Looks like the 2020 Mazda 2 sedan facelift is about to make its debut at the Thailand International Motor Expo 2019 in Bangkok as the car has been spotted by Autostation on a trailer in Thailand. From the pictures, the Mazda 2 facelift presents a sportier image with a new 3D grille, new chrome lines and redesigned headlights. There is also a black bottom skirting that runs around the car to add to the sporty image. Changes seem limited to just the front end as the rear end remains largely the sa

With the launch happening sooner than later, Perodua has just opened bookings for the highly-anticipated 2021 Perodua D55L.

Behold the new 2020 Toyota Yaris facelift! Like the newly-introduced Toyota Yaris Ativ sedan, aka the Toyota Vios in Malaysia, Toyota Motor Thailand has upgraded the new Toyota Yaris with Toyota Safety Sense, updated exterior stylings and a sportier interior as well as Apple CarPlay connectivity. Cosmetically, the new Toyota Yaris is sharper than the outgoing generation with narrower squinty automatic LED headlamps paired with stylish LED DRLs. Toyota has also updated the Yaris’ grille with a bl

(Model | Gallery) What you're looking at on this page is the Mazda 2 Hatchback Mid. The lower and more affordable Mazda 2 was introduced when Bermaz Motors introduced the facelift with G-Vectoring Control version to our shores. With the 2 Mid, you lose all of Mazda's infotainment system that you get on the higher spec car like the MZD Connect, the touch screen display and even the head-up display. The higher spec Mazda 2 is priced at RM 94,670 without the signature Kodo Red, this puts the 2 Mid

There are plenty of choices in the B-segment hatchback market, for Mazda, the model that represents the brand in this segment is the Mazda 2 hatchback. How much is Mazda 2 Hatchback? Bermaz Motors currently has 2 variants in their line-up. Both variants share the same 1.5-litre engine and are equipped with G-Vectoring Control. The only difference between the 2 variants are on the appearance - LED projector headlamps, keyless operation and the infotainment system in the top spec variant versus ha

Starting from the front, there is the familiar Nissan’s V-Motion design language, with a boomerang-shaped light on top which works as a daytime running light (DRL), along with a more conventional horizontal LED headlight in between and finished off with a LED fog lamp below.

The glitzy 2021 Mazda MX-5 has received a minor update in Malaysia, now coming with Wireless Apple CarPlay. The MX-5 is available in sole folding hardtop (RF) guise here, and this update is extended to both the six-speed automatic and manual variants. Beyond that, everything else remains the same - the 2.0-litre, naturally-aspirated four-cylinder mill still makes 181 PS at 7,000 rpm and 205 Nm at 4,000 rpm. Other features such as Adaptive LED headlights (ALH), Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-

The Mazda 2 may be an ageing car but it’s definitely one that is catered to enthusiasts. With that being said, after 7 years on the market, the Mazda 2 is definitely due for a new generation that could debut in 2021. As we had reported before, the team over at Best Car Web has produced some interesting renders of what the next-gen Mazda 2 could look like. Judging by the renders, the Mazda 2 could retain the same Kodo design philosophy of the fantastically gorgeous Mazda 3 Hatchback. Even the rea

(Mazda CX-8 Price and Specs | Gallery) The Mazda CX-8 made its public debut back at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show. Initially, the 7-seater CX-8 was mooted as a Japan-only model, positioned above the CX-5 as the much larger CX-9 isn’t sold there. Japan taxes cars based on the car's body size and the USA-focused CX-9 is just too big for most Japanese buyers, hence the CX-8. However Mazda distributors outside of Japan noticed the big price gap between the CX-5 and CX-9 and given that the SUV segment is

Bermaz Auto has quietly discontinued the Mid Spec Mazda 2 Hatchback and Sedan in Malaysia, just shy of 2 years since the model was launched here. We understand that Bermaz decided to discontinue the Mid Spec variants is due to the impending price hike for fully imported (CBU) cars that is set to happen in June 2020, as all variants of the Mazda 2 are imported from Thailand. The price hike would mean that the Mid Spec Mazda 2 would be priced too high in the already price-sensitive B-segment marke

Mazda 2这个车型或许已经有些过时了,但它依旧很受车迷们的青睐。不过,尽管如此,但市售了足足7年的Mazda 2,在2021年肯定需要更新换代了。 与我们之前报道的一样,Best Car Web的团队制作了一些下一代Mazda 2的外观假想图。从渲染的图片上看,Mazda 2可能会保留与惊艳的Mazda 3 Hatchback相同的“魂动”家族设计语汇。 连车尾看上去都像是迷你版的Mazda 3,这其实并不是一件坏事。确实,即将退市的Mazda 2也许是最好看的B级掀背车了,但这张假想图中的新一代Mazda 2也一样有着十分惊艳的造型。 不过,最重要的新闻,应该是关于Mazda 2的未来的。我们之前报道过,在欧洲市场上,下一代Mazda 2可能会基于TNGA-B Toyota Yaris(与东南亚地区的Yaris不同)开发。 但从Best Car Web提供的消息来看,下一代的Mazda 2将采用全新的平台设计,至少日版车型是这样的。 所以,欧洲市场得到的是贴牌的TNGA Yaris,而日本市场(希望大马也是) 的Mazda 2则会使用新的定制平台。目前相关的信息还很少,但是据说车

We’re all familiar with the usage of our car headlights. It’s a regulation that all car manufacturers are required to install headlights on their cars. There is also a set guideline on the placement that must be followed. We know to turn them on when the sky turns dark to illuminate the path ahead of us. But our headlights are installed on our cars to do more than just illuminate the road in front of us. They also help other road users see us better. Especially during rainy days when our cars ar

Earlier this year, Bermaz Auto launched the 2020 Mazda 2 1.5 Hatchback facelift in Malaysia. It is a fully-imported (CBU) model from Thailand and only a single variant is offered – the 1.5 SkyActiv-G which comes with i-Stop idling technology. There is even a sedan version available for those who want extra boot space. The naturally-aspirated 1.5-litre 4-cylinder engine produces 114 PS @ 6,000 rpm and 149 Nm @ 4,000 rpm, which powers the front wheels via a 6-speed SkyActiv-Drive automatic transmi

Earlier this year, the 2020 Mazda 2 1.5 Hatchback facelift with Mazda 2 skyactiv arrived on our shores. Being a fully-imported model from Thailand, it's priced at a rather heady RM 103,670 (OTR with SST). That makes it the most expensive B-segment hatchback in Malaysia. There is only one spec available, both the hatchback and sedan have identical specifications and price. Sadly, airbag count remains at 2 despite the facelift. The 2020 Mazda 2 1.5 Hatchback with Mazda 2 skyactiv is indeed pricey

No, you didn’t read wrongly. What we know as the stylish B-segment Mazda 2 with supreme cornering talent was first launched as a tall hatchback with minivan styling. At least that was how Mazda described the car, but one look at the 2, or at that time known as the Demio, and you immediately see a minivan rather than a B-segment hatchback. When the name Demio was introduced in 2002, it was actually the second generation of the model. A quick search on Google will only bring you back to 2002 but t
