Your car ownership experience isn’t complete without having at least one flat tyre incident. For this, manufacturers have given us full-sized spares, space-savers, run-flat tyres, and even tyre repair kits. What you have in your car has been pre-determined by the manufacturer. The question is, which is the best? The answer depends on the type of driver you are, the type of commute you do, and where you live. Each option offers its own pros and cons. 1. Full-sized spares A full-sized spare is ide
The first-ever Toyota Corolla Cross has made its global debut in Thailand. All preliminary speculations of Toyota’s latest C-segment SUV have all turned out to be correct, except for its price. More on that later. Toyota has confirmed that the Corolla Cross is built on the Toyota Corolla Altis’ (and C-HR’s) TNGA-C platform, but with a different rear suspension. While the Corolla Altis/C-HR uses a more complex double wishbone setup for superior ride and handling, the Corolla Cross uses a simpler,
Preying on the naivety and impulsiveness of the average car buyer are fraudulent products that claim to save fuel, increase power, or improve the handling of a vehicle. There are so many products out there with substantial claims that make it really hard to differentiate the legitimate from the fraudulent. One of the products you may have thought of purchasing are fuel additives. What are fuel additives? Are fuel additives legit? Can fuel additives save you money? Well, we’ll try to answer those
The inevitable fuel price increase is upon us all. Both petrol and diesel fuel prices are up at least 5 cents for the upcoming week. The fuel prices for 16 May 2020 to 22 May 2020 will be as below: RON 95 – RM 1.31/litre (increase 6 cents) RON 97 – RM 1.61/litre (increase 6 cents) Euro 2M Diesel – RM 1.45/litre (increase 5 cents) Euro 5 Diesel – RM 1.55/litre (increase 5 cents)
While most of us suffer from empty fuel tank anxiety the moment the fuel gauge drops to 2 bars, some risk-takers tend to push their cars to the very last drop of the fuel before refuelling. Did you know that this is not good for your car’s health? Honda Malaysia recently uploaded a simple PSA on its Facebook page explaining that this is a rather common practice among car owners. Continuing to drive your car until the fuel gauge starts blinking red will cause problems in the longer term, the most
This week, there's no changes in fuel prices. The fuel prices from 15 - 21 April 2021 will be as follows: RON 95 – RM 2.05/litre RON 97 – RM 2.54/litre Diesel Euro 2M – RM 2.15/litre Diesel Euro 5 – RM 2.25/litre
It was nice while it lasted, but now the inevitable has happened: both petrol and diesel fuel prices are up across the board for the upcoming week: The fuel prices for 15 August 2020 to 21 August 2020 will be as below: RON 95 – RM 1.68/litre (increase 5 cents) RON 97 – RM 1.98/litre (increase 5 cents) Euro 2M Diesel – RM 1.82/litre (increase 3 cents) Euro 5 Diesel – RM 1.92/litre (increase 3 cents)
The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated heart of the 2019 Toyota Yaris is a familiar unit. The 2NR-FE engine is one that powers the Toyota Vios and has been in use since UMW Toyota gave the sedan an update in 2016. Back then, UMW claims that the new engine was an effort for better fuel efficiency, and the Yaris definitely proves itself to be a fuel sipping car. Mated to a CVT with seven sequential gears, the Yaris’ engine produces 107 PS and 140 Nm, 13 PS less than Honda Jazz. It’s hardly the fastest
The 2019 Toyota Vios is powered by a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder Dual-VVTi engine with a codename 2NR-FE that produces 107 PS and 140 Nm of torque. It is linked to a CVT with 7 virtual ratios. Toyota claims improved fuel consumption compared to the previous powertrain, but by how much? Read on to find out the 2019 Toyota Vios' fuel consumption. The current powertrain combo was first introduced in the updated Vios in 2016, which replaced the ancient 1NZ-FE VVT-i engine with a 4-speed auto that was alrea
The 2020 Perodua Bezza made its debut with two carry-forward engines, 1.3-litre engine and 1.0-litre engine. We already know the Bezza is well know for its fuel efficiency but there weren't any official real world numbers. So, we decided to take the Bezza AV 1.3-litre variant for a spin to test out just how much the updated A-segment sedan's fuel consumption. The Bezza’s 1.3-litre DVVT-i petrol engine produces 95 PS and 121 Nm. The engine has since proven its reliability and fuel efficiency thro
Proton claims the X50 returns a fuel consumption figure of 6.4-litre/100 km for the range-topping 1.5 TGDi Flagship variant. But what’s the real-world fuel consumption like? We tested the Proton X50 to find out. As per usual, all tyres were inflated according to the manufacturer's recommended tyre pressure. Then the Proton X50’s 45-litre fuel tank was brimmed. Air-conditioning was set at 22 degrees Celsius in automatic mode. Driving behaviour was normal, without aggressive throttle inputs or hyp
The common knowledge about smaller capacity turbocharged engines is that they are fuel efficient. We’ve put the Honda CR-V 1.5 TC-P through the WapCar fuel consumption test to find out if it adheres to the norm. Powering the Honda CR-V is a turbocharged 1.5-litre 4-cylinder engine that makes 193 PS and 243 Nm of torque. In the 1.5 TC-P variant, drive goes to the front wheels via a CVT. Like in the Nissan X-Trail, the CVT allows the engine to spin at its optimum rev range to maximise fuel efficie
The Honda Civic EG hatchback, or “Bullet”, is a good-looking and rather sought-after car in Malaysia. This entry has no intention of offending Civic fans. The contraption you see in the picture above and below is a “Hyper-miler” Honda Civic EG called the “Aero-Civic”. It was built by Mike Turner, an EcoModder from USA. Pictures of his car are obtained from his webite (aerocivic.com) Before we go on, let’s first understand what Hyper-Miling is. Hyper-Miling is the practice of extremely energy eff
The electric future is inevitable. The only question is, will fuel cell technology catch on with battery? BMW believes that they will co-exist in the future and affirms their commitment to hydrogen fuel cell technology. BMW Group has been working with the Toyota Motor Corporation on fuel cell technology since 2013. The BMW i Hydrogen NEXT will get its fuel cells from Toyota while BMW develops a fuel cell stack and overall system. Japanese car makers have always been keen on hydrogen fuel. Nissan
Honda Malaysia telah memuatnaik sebuah video ringkas yang memaparkan informasi mengenai tabiat pemandu yang suka memandu dengan tangki yang hampir kosong. Tentu ada dalam kalangan pembaca yang mengenali seseorang yang mempunyai tabiat seperti ini. 3 sebab mengapa anda tidak digalakkan untuk memandu dengan tangki yang hampir kosong adalah seperti berikut: 1.

Although spare wheels are no longer offered in many premium cars (replaced with either run-flat tyres or tyre repair kits), spare wheels are still important for consumers shopping at the lower-end of the price spectrum. Prior to the Perodua Ativa’s (D55L) local launch, many Facebook users were saying that the Perodua Ativa doesn’t come with a spare wheel. This is not true. All variants of the Perodua Ativa come with a spare wheel. Full sized ones too, not those skinny 60 – 80 km/h speed limit sp
Looks like the Perodua Myvi is affected by the global fuel pump issues as well. Following the recalls issued by UMW Toyota (UMWT) for Toyota and Lexus vehicles and Honda Malaysia in June, Perodua has also issued a recall for their third-generation Perodua Myvi. The global fuel pump recall exercise was first issued by Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) in March 2020. The recall affected over 3.2 million vehicles under the corporation and looks like this includes Daihatsu as well. TMC first started lo
The 2020 Proton X70 CKD is powered by a 1.8-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces 184 PS and 300 Nm of torque, mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). Proton claims the X70 CKD returns 7.6-litre/100 km, so we put it to the test. All tyres were inflated according to the manufacturer's recommended tyre pressure of 230 kPa (cold tyres) for all four tyres. Then the Proton X70’s 60-litre fuel tank was brimmed. Driving behaviour was as per a normal driver, accelerating and brak
Nissan claims that the rated fuel consumption for the Nissan X-Trail 2.0L is 13.4km/litre, which translates to about 7.5 litres per 100 km. We put it through our WapCar Ratings test to find out how many litres of fuel does the Nissan X-Trail consume. To recap, the 2.0-litre engine naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine produces 144 PS and 200 Nm of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The CVT keeps the engine operating at its optimum rev ra
Apart from insurance and maintenance, another big ticket item that we have to spend on our cars is fuel. Sure, fuel price is at the lowest now due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but that doesn’t mean you are permanently immune from rising fuel cost, or you can't improve things further. As a general rule of thumb, you should always read through your car's owner’s manual and look for the recommended grade of fuel required, as well as recommended driving/maintenance habits. Here are 10 top tips from us
As part of the motoring media, we are required to jump into many cars and drive around to test out the real world practicality of cars available on the market. Sometimes we are given cars for more than the standard 3 days. Like the Volvo XC40 T5 that Volvo Malaysia has kindly loan me for video purposes for a total of 10 days. The XC40 has a recorded fuel consumption at 7.7 litres/ 100km and I think it’s totally believable as the SUV made the trip from KL to Melaka and back left me with a little
The Proton X50 will very likely be the national carmaker's next model launch but don't expect it to appear in showrooms anytime soon. Proton X50 Engine Spec We all know that the new compact crossover SUV will be based on the Geely Binyue and the Malaysian market will most certainly feature the 1.5-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine and 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. In China, the Binyue is offered with a 1.0-litre 3-cylinder turbo petrol but that's mated exclusively to a 6-speed manu

Saudi Arabia is one of the biggest producers of oil in the world and as the price of oil is cheap there, it’s common to see large SUVs roaming the streets of Riyadh and Jeddah. However, even the Saudis realise how important it is to improve fuel efficiency standards and they’re getting serious about it. According to Gulf News, the Saudi General Ports Authority has temporarily banned imports from 16 car companies for failing to submit their supply plan and commitment to comply with new fuel stand
To most average Malaysians, one of the key factors in buying a car is good fuel economy and for a lot of them, the choice is obvious: Perodua. It’s a no-brainer really, they’re cheap but reliable and fuel-efficient. There’s no denying that Peroduas like the Bezza and Axia are the go-to choice for fuel-efficient automobiles but at WapCar, we want to stand out. Besides, what’s wrong with spreading out your options? With that out of the way, here are 5 brand new fuel-efficient cars currently availa
