Last year was a relatively quiet year for Nissan Malaysia, having launched only two models – the facelifted X-Trail and all-new Leaf. However, 2020 is set to be a better year for Nissan Malaysia, as the company has confirmed that they will be introducing several new models this year. All-new Almera is upon us soon The first model we can expect from Nissan is the all-new Almera, which made its regional debut in Thailand back in November 2019.

The Hyundai Elantra is a pretty left-field choice if you’re looking for a C-segment sedan. However, if you’re interested to get one brand-new, tough luck as it appears the model has been dropped from the Malaysian market. A quick check on the Hyundai website confirms this notion. An unnamed source further confirmed our suspicion. Could this mean that the all-new seventh-generation Elantra is coming into Malaysia very soon? The outgoing sixth-generation Elantra was launched in Korea in 2015 befor

Having launched in Thailand back in February this year, the Mini Cooper SE (all-electric) will be coming to Malaysia soon. The Mini Cooper SE is priced at 2,290,000 baht in or approximately RM 310,000. With BMW Malaysia selling the BMW i3s, it would be no surprise then that the Mini Cooper SE becomes available in the Malaysian market.

Following the footsteps of the recently-introduced Axia Style, Perodua is said to be working on an SUV-styled Myvi, set for a debut in the coming months. Expected to be called Myvi Style, the forthcoming model could receive the same styling (heh) cues as the Axia Style.

The interior of the new Myvi Style is also said to get different seat upholstery materials. Under the hoo

In a blink of an eye, it has been 15 years since the launch of the Perodua Myvi. The current Myvi, launched in 2017, is now in its third generation and is no longer related to any Japanese market Daihatsu. Sales of the current generation started back in 2018, so it is about time for Perodua to introduce refreshments to the car. Wondering that it hasn’t been long since the current Myvi was introduced, is it time for a facelift already? If you take a look at Perodua’s model trend, the Myvi’s gener

A couple of weeks ago, a mysterious SUV was seen roaming the streets of Japan. The presence of what looks like Honda’s LaneWatch camera and hidden door handles led many to believe that this could be the next-generation Honda HR-V. According to reports from Japan, Honda could be introducing the all-new HR-V in Japan as soon as March 2021 – roughly 7 years since the current RU-generation model went on sale. Powertrain details are hazy, though it’s almost certain that Honda will stuff its sophistic

Alongside the new Toyota Hilux facelift, Toyota will be introducing the Fortuner facelift on the same day. What’s new? Photos of the new 2020 Toyota Fortuner were uploaded on social media sites back in April, which gave us a good look at the Fortuner’s new black roof. The photos, albeit rather blurry, also provided a glimpse at the updated Fortuner’s sharper front-end – the headlights appear to be slimmer and sharper than before, while the front bumper appear to feature deeper front fog light su

Seen here is a render of what could be the Mazda CX-50 – a brand-new model that could be introduced in 2023. As with other current-generation Mazda models, the rendered CX-50 gets an evolved form of Mazda’s Kodo design language.

So far, no teasers of the inte

Malaysians are bound to welcome a slew of new pick-up trucks this year, and one of them is the 2021 Nissan Navara NP300 (D23) facelift that was spotted recently. The photo - shared to us by a WapCar.my reader - gives us a closer look at the updated pick-up truck. Looking at the chrome grille garnish and dual-tone wheels, this appears to be the VL 4WD variant.

If you’re in the market for the current-generation Nissan Almera, we reckon that you should postpone your purchase for a bit as the all-new Almera will be coming to Malaysia, with the soonest being late-2020 or early-2021.

The Perodua Alza is a 7-seater MPV that was introduced here back in 2009, which makes it one of the oldest new cars you can purchase today. Despite being 11 years old, Perodua won’t be pulling the plug on the Alza just yet, as the company recently reiterated that it won’t be discontinued any time soon. Developing a brand-new Alza isn’t Perodua’s top priority at the moment, as the MPV market is slowing down and Perodua's main focus is SUVs. The Alza has also been Perodua’s slowest-selling model,
