Mitsubishi dengan rasminya melebarkan sayap ke Malaysia melalui Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia yang dilancarkan pada tahun 2005. Seiring dengan pelancaran tersebut, model pertama yang dibawa masuk oleh Mitsubishi adalah trak pikap Mitsubishi Triton, atau lebih dikenali sebagai Mitsubishi Storm pada ketika itu. Mitsubishi Storm pertama kali hadir ke Malaysia pada tahun 2001 melalui pengedar rasmi United Straits Fuso Sdn Bhd (USF). Tidak dinafikan, gaya Mitsubishi Storm yang ranggi ketika itu mencetus
In an effort to convince Thais over the Honda Civic, Toyota Motor Thailand has cooked up a storm in terms of giving its updated Toyota Corolla Altis a sporty bodykit. While there is a GR Sport variant available in the Kingdom, for those looking to add more spice onto their Corolla Altis, there is the thunderously named Storm Package *cue background thunder noises*. The Storm Package is an official bodykit by Toyota that is available on all variants of the Corolla Altis except the GR Sport and th

Speak of Mitsubishi, and voices will come out of nowhere, boohooing about the fate of the Lancer Evolution and Eclipse nameplates. But to just confine the storied Japanese carmaker to just two models is to do them a disservice. Which is why we're looking at their pick-up truck history today, one that started 40-plus years ago and has since culminated in the capable Mitsubishi Triton. 1st Generation - Simple workhorse Things started simple for Mitsubishi, heck even the name is just that - the Ame
Since Mitsubishi Outlander has been introduced into Malaysia in 2016, the defect without rear air vent has been always the obstacle for consumers to make the purchase. Recently, Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) finally finds a solution to this problem. They launched the air circulator as the official accessory for Outlander 2.0L and 2.4L at price RM 1,485. The air circulator works by drawing in fresh cool air from the front, charge it and blast it at the rear passengers. Furthermore, there are t
As a company, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) have seen better days. Yes, the company still enjoys a strong market presence, especially in 4x4s and it’s still the only brand that’s in a position to challenge the Toyota Hilux's dominance, but it’s safe to say that company have long passed its peak. More than 100 ago, Mitsubishi Motors’ predecessor, the Mitsubishi zaibatsu conglomerate built Japan’s first series production car – the Model A, which was a copy of the Fiat Tipo 3. At its peak, th
The problem of motorists riding/driving against traffic is not unique to Malaysia, although your Facebook feeds will give you that it’s a growing problem confined only to Malaysia. Yesterday, a 35-year old man in Japan was killed when his Honda N-Box was hit head-on by a Toyota Crown driven by a 78-year old man who was driving against traffic. The incident happened yesterday 6-January, at 12.40 am at the Nishimeihan Expressway in Yamatokōriyama city, in Nara prefecture. The younger driver died o
It has been about two weeks of ownership with our Perodua Ativa. How have things been? Well, the rattling sound we mentioned previously had gotten really annoying. Every time we drove over abrupt irregularities on the right side, the sound became more and more apparent. We needed to take the Ativa to Sepang on Tuesday to check out some Malaysian-made electric car, so we held off going to the service centre until Wednesday. About two weeks of driving with that sound, we finally checked in at the
So, the sliding doors on your MPV decided to fail on you. It could be a Toyota Alphard, Toyota Estima, Toyota Sienta, Nissan Serena, Hyundai Starex, or a Kia Grand Carnival. Manual sliding doors are a lot easier to fix, but power sliding doors are a little bit trickier. Before you rush to any nearby workshop, you might want to check a few things. The solution is usually a lot cheaper than you think it is. 1. Sliding doors hard to open or close? Could be dirty tracks The sliding doors of an MPV m
Proton has been at the receiving end of many angry complaints from customers with regards to its after-sales. Proton dealers are experiencing shortage of not just regular wear and tear replacement parts, but also bigger body and paint parts for collision repairs. You may have read of complaints of customers who have been waiting for months to get parts for their accident-damaged Proton cars. Those complaints are legit but like many things you read on Facebook, the alleged reasons behind the part
Launched in 2008, the Mitsubishi Triton is the closest rival to the Toyota Hilux in terms of price. The latest iteration is a facelift from 2019 which features Mitsubishi’s prominent dynamic shield up front. 4x2 Quest - RM 79,890 4x4 M/T - RM 100,200 4x4 A/T - RM 105,900 4x4 M/T Premium - RM 113,300 4x4 A/T Premium - RM 121,000 4x4 Adventure X - RM 137,900 *OTR price w/o insurance.

Like any organization experiencing rapid growth and change, there will be growing pains. Proton is experiencing this first hand, not just with supply issues of the very high in demand Proton X50, but also shortage in spare parts supply for its service centres. To Proton’s credit, the company has taken a very brave move to publically acknowledge the shortcomings in its after-sales services. At today’s announcement of Proton’s February 2021 sales performance, Proton said it recorded its highest ev
Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia recently released the prices of the 2020 Mitsubishi Xpander, a model that will compete directly against the Honda BR-V, Perodua Aruz, and Toyota Rush. In this article, we will take a closer look and see how much you need to make each month before you should apply for a loan to purchase the Mitsubishi Xpander. How much do I need to make? The Mitsubishi Xpander has a starting price of RM 91,358 (on the road, without insurance), meaning that the monthly repayment is rough
You can't daily drive a pickup truck in Malaysia. Or at least that's what I thought before I tried the Mitsubishi Triton VGT Adventure X. Pickup trucks are purely meant for work, right? They are supposed to be hard to manoeuvre, reek of diesel, have immense body roll, and be uncomfortable to ride in. Well, I'll give you a heads up – the Triton drives like a crossover. It is surprisingly nimble and comfortable. We tested the Mitsubishi Triton VGT Adventure X, which is the only variant with Mitsub
Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia has confirmed that it will be launching its first affordable seven-seater – the Xpander – next year. What does it compete against? Set to go up against the Toyota Rush, Perodua Aruz, and Honda BR-V, the Mitsubishi Xpander uses a similar 1.5-litre capacity engine like its rivals, naturally aspirated. However the Mitsubishi Xpander’s dated engine (paired to a 4-speed automatic) pushes out just 105 PS, identical to the Toyota Rush and Perodua Aruz but nowhere near the Hon
In the recent years, we have welcomed some new three-cylinder engine cars to the world – the Nissan Almera 1.0 turbo, Honda City 1.0 turbo (Thailand), Proton X50, and more excitingly, the Toyota GR Yaris. Even Christian von Koenigsegg has channelled his genius into developing a 600 HP three-cylinder engine. With these developments however, some of us still remain very sceptical of them. We will never forget the underpowered three pots in tiny cars like the Perodua Kancil and Perodua Kelisa. Sure
The locally-assembled (CKD) in Pekan 2020 Mitsubishi Xpander is now open for booking in Malaysia and as usual with all new cars, we have the complete run down for you right here. Let’s go! What’s the price of the new Mitsubishi Xpander? Prices have not been announced yet. Though we estimate it to be circa RM 100,000, the actual prices should be released as the car nears its November launch date. How big is the Mitsubishi Xpander? Part of what makes the Xpander spacious is its size - it's bigger
It has been 5 years since Proton has discontinued sales of the Proton Inspira, but demand for the car has yet to wane and finding a good used unit is like looking for a needle in the haystack. But for RM 20,000, should you still get a used Proton Inspira or should you just opt for the Inspira’s donor car, the Mitsubishi Lancer instead? The Proton Inspira has always been an interesting product. It came years after Proton has proudly moved on from just rebadging Mitsubishi vehicles and started pro
There is no doubt that about the BMW’s superior dynamics, which is far ahead of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the Audi A4. We absolutely love the way it drives and sounds, even in the four-cylinder 330i. In terms of evolution of character, the G20 BMW 3 Series is closer to the more driver-focused E90 3 Series than the previous F30 model, which closer to the comfort-biased E46 than the sharper handling E90. The G20 BMW 3 Series is more spacious than the E90, without losing any of the excellent dr
If you think the title for this review of the Mitsubishi Triton sounds odd, that’s because you are not reading it in the context of an East Malaysian. To the other half of Malaysia, the word Hilux does not necessarily refer to a Toyota Hilux, but a noun that refers to any pick-up truck. Yes, any. Think it’s wrong? Well if you stop calling Cintan or Mamee instant noodles as Maggi, or referring to every plastic food container as Tupperware, maybe the East Malaysians might listen to you. The Mitsub
When Honda Malaysia introduced the Honda BR-V back in 2017, many wondered if this new model is an MPV or an SUV. In short, the then-new model from Honda is an SUV, owing to the fact that Honda offers the Honda Mobilio in Indonesia and Thailand, which is essentially an MPV derivative of the BR-V. Furthermore, the Honda BR-V is taxed by the Malaysian Customs as an SUV, not an MPV. The Honda BR-V received its mid-life update earlier in 2020, giving the 7-seater SUV mild styling updates as well as e
Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) has collected over 9,300 bookings for the Mitsubishi Xpander since its launch in November 2020, of which 2,742 units have been delivered. “Due to the overwhelming positive response for the new Xpander, we are progressing to increase our production volume to cater for higher production capacity to fulfil all booking demands,” said Tomoyuki Shinnishi, Chief Executive Officer of MMM. The 7-seater Mitsubishi Xpander is locally-assembled (CKD) in Pekan by a joint vent

According to the state Infrastructure and Public Amenities, Agriculture Modernisation and Agro-based Industry committee, some 60 percent of roads in Selangor has reached its service life and many are structurally damaged. This is the main reason why potholes and cracks are a never-ending problem. Committee chairman Izham Hashim said that most of the roads in Selangor are close to 30 to 40 years old or more and past due for an upgrade. He further explained that roads usually reach maturity within

Mitsubishi Outlander Mitsubishi Outlander mungkin bukan dalam senarai pilihan SUV 7 tempat duduk tetapi jangan ketepikan dahulu SUV ini. Selain itu, kita bakal menerima sebuah lagi kenderaan 7 tempat duduk daripada Mitsubishi iaitu Mitsubishi Xpander. Oleh itu, apa yang boleh kita jangkakan tentang Mitsubishi Xpander melalui pengalaman pemanduan ‘abang’nya, Mitsubishi Outlander? Mitsubishi Outlander adalah sebuah SUV segmen C 7 tempat duduk yang bersaing dengan Nissan X-Trail, VW Tiguan Allspace
In a blink of an eye, it has been 3 years since Mitsubishi dusted off an old sports car name and plastered it onto a new compact crossover to create the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. The car is now due for a facelift and Mitsubishi has released a teaser of the upcoming reveal on their official Instagram page. All that we know for now is that Mitsubishi has redesigned the front and rear design while the company has also promised a more upscale and energetic overall look. With the SUV scheduled to go
