mazda rx8 for sale

The MG of the past is vastly different from the MG of today. Once focused on sports cars, the British-Chinese marque is now famous for its crossovers. While Malaysians are waiting for the arrival of the Proton X70-rivalling MG HS and the electric ZS crossover, over in the Philippines there is a new model that will be launched in 2021 with a very familiar name. Called the RX8, it is a 7-seater SUV that directly competes with the likes of the Ford Everest and the Toyota Fortuner. Despite the name,

Now with G-Vectoring Control Plus Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as standard Available as a sedan or wagon Bermaz Motor, the official distributor of Mazda vehicles in Malaysia has introduced the updated Mazda 6 in Malaysia. Specifications have been improved (upgraded infotainment and GVC Plus) but prices have also gone up by quite a bit, no doubt due to the weakening Ringgit (the 6 is imported from Japan).

When the Mazda MX-30 made its world debut at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show, the car, which is based on the CX-30, was presented as Mazda’s first series production fully electric vehicle, and that it will go on sale sometime in 2021. However, many have speculated that the MX-30 won’t exist as an electric-only model range, and that a hybrid model will eventually join the MX-30’s variant line-up. A small capacity rotary-type range extender engine was also speculated to complement the electric-only vari

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

If you haven’t heard of Pablo Escobar, then here’s a quick history lesson. Escobar is the wealthiest criminal in history and was viewed as a Robin Hood-like figure by residents in his town. With that amount of wealth, you can expect the man to have a stable full of epic cars. One of those cars, a 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 RSR IROC race car, is on sale. The asking price of the car?

The Mazda 6 is currently the oldest model in its class. The dominating Toyota Camry and Honda Accord duo have since been replaced by new generation models while the Volkswagen Passat was recently updated, leaving the imported Mazda 6 as the oldest. Despite its age, you’ll be surprised to know that the Mazda 6 is still the one to have, especially if you are the sort who understands the difference between driving a car and being part of a car.

The C-segment SUV market is surely one of the most competitive in Malaysia. With almost every major carmaker offering one, it’s not hard to see why these are gaining popularity among Malaysians. They are spacious and practical for a growing family, with some even offering 7 seats. Plus, with a higher driving position, it’s probably an ideal vehicle for those who wish to command more presence on the road. But while practicality and size are determining factors in getting a C-segment SUV, another

Manufacturers seem to be filling in all the niches possible in their SUV lineup. Here we have the Mazda CX-5 and the Mazda CX-30, both are technically in the C-segment SUV market, and we've lined them up for a CX-5 vs CX-30 comparison. Well, some would consider the CX-30 to be a crossover but let’s not get into the whole SUV vs crossover thing just yet.

Volvo XC90 T5 AWD Momentum, a more affordable entry-level model, has been launched in Malaysia. As the most entry-level model in the XC90 series, the XC90 T5 abandons the previous version T8's hybrid combination and adopts the power configuration of the pure gasoline engine, which further reduces the price to RM373,888 with lower price threshold for customers to purchase. In terms of appearance, XC90 T5 is basically similar to the T8 version, except that the water tank cover has a different colo

As you know, the Mazda 3 comes in two body types, a sedan and a hatchback (which distributor Bermaz Auto prefers to call it a Liftback). Nameplates aside, the Mazda 3 family actually includes an SUV (or if you insist, crossover). The Mazda CX-30 is essentially a jacked up, shorter wheelbase version of the Mazda 3. Distance between the wheels is 70 mm shorter, with a 40 mm taller ground clearance. The shorter wheelbase also means that the CX-30 has less legroom in the rear than in the Mazda 3, it

Bermaz Motor has introduced an option to the 2021 Mazda CX-5 with a larger 8-inch infotainment screen, on top of the standard 7-inch unit. The option costs RM 1,000. Unlike the newer systems in the Mazda 3 and CX-30, the 8-inch infotainment screen still runs on an older generation MZD Connect system as in the smaller 7-inch screen. So the difference here is mainly the larger screen estate and reduced bezels. Note that this is not the running change seen in other countries such as the US, where t

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

The oddly named Mazda CX-30 slots between the B-segment CX-3 and the C-segment CX-5. Why is called the CX-30 instead of a more logical CX-4 then?
