Honda Malaysia has opened bookings for the new 2020 BR-V facelift, which is set for a debut within the first quarter of the year. The company took the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” approach with the BR-V facelift – changes are subtle at best. Up front, the Honda BR-V facelift gains a new front grille and bumper, while the sides gain new 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels. Honda has also updated the rear bumper of its popular people mover, while the bee-sting antenna has been replaced by a new sh

Photos of what appears to be the all-new Honda Jazz (called the Fit in Japan) have surfaced, ahead of its possible 2019 Tokyo Motor Show debut. According to Creative Trend, several units of the all-new Honda Jazz were seen parked in a row beside the facelifted Honda Freed, which gives us a sneak peek of the new car’s front end.

Often times when manufacturers showcase a new vehicle, they will use a range-topping variant, as it includes all the bells and whistles. Curiously, Toyota did the polar opposite with the Yaris Cross, as they showcased a base variant of the model ahead of its official by parking one unit in front of the Toyota Motor Manufacturing France (TMMF) plant in Onnaing, France. Compared to the decked-out top spec variant, the base model loses out of several features, like the large 18-inch alloy wheels, b

The Proton Iriz was conceived back in 2014 as Proton’s effort to counter the ever-popular Perodua Myvi. Back then, the Iriz offered considerably more safety equipment than the Perodua Myvi, but response from the market remained lukewarm at best. Proton updated the Iriz a couple of times, with the latest update being introduced earlier this year. Five variants are available in total, up from the four variants from the 2017 update.
