When it made its debut in 2012, the Proton Preve was the most affordable C-segment sedan on the market and the spec-sheet was rather impressive as well. So, is it worth your consideration as a used car? During its 8-year run, the Preve was updated twice. It also helped Proton reach numerous milestones such as achieving the brand's first 5-star rating at the Australasian New Car Assessment Programme (ANCAP). The Preve was also well-liked for its 1.6-litre CamPro CFE Turbo engine, Proton even cash

Hasil daripada kehebatan penebat bunyi moden (sound insulator), anda tidak pernah menyedari kepanasan dan gegaran enjin di bawah hud. Fungsi mounting enjin (pautan enjin) adalah untuk memegang enjin di tempatnya dan menyerap getaran enjin tersebut. Mounting enjin menerima banyak hentaman akibat daripada fungsinya. Walaupun penyelenggaraan mounting enjin adalah rendah, jangka hayat mounting enjin anda mungkin akan tamat lebih cepat daripada apa yang anda harapkan. Di sini kita akan membincangkan

Proton Preve Proton Preve merupakan antara usaha Proton untuk bersaing dalam pasaran sedan segmen C. Jenama Jepun yang selama ini mendominasi pasaran tersebut sedikit terkesan dengan penawaran Proton Preve iaitu sedan segmen C paling murah dalam zamannya. Hadir dengan pilihan enjin CamPro CFE Turbo melalui Proton Preve 1.6 CFE Turbo, model ini agak diminati golongan yang menggemari kelajuan. Hal ini diperkuatkan lagi dengan kehadiran kereta konsep Proton Preve R3 seiring warisan sukan permotoran

Thanks to modern day sound insulation, you don’t realise how hot and bothered things are under the hood. Holding the engine in place and absorbing most of the engine's vibration are engine mounts. They take a lot of punishment. Although generally low-maintenance, engine mounts may wear out sooner than you think. Here we will discuss the symptoms of bad engine mounts in your car. A car engine is heavy. Even a small Perodua Axia’s 1KR-VE weighs about 70 kg. A Perodua Myvi’s 2NR-VE weighs about 86

Proton had always been known for its saloon cars that were popular with Malaysian families. The Proton Saga, Wira, Waja, Perdana, and Preve are some to name. The most ambitious of them all would have been the Proton Preve, claimed as Proton’s first global car. Under the Proton-Geely partnership, several future model names have been registered. Including the X50 and X70, several other names have been registered too like the C50 and S50. The C50 is probably reserved for a hatchback model while the

Previously, when we reported on the mind-boggling Proton Exora/ Mitsubishi Triton mesh up, we thought we’ve seen it all. But clearly, most of us have forgotten that Malaysia also has a one-off Proton Preve Ute on our roads. The Proton Preve Ute is a one-off custom project that a private owner commissioned Bufori, a company specialising in hand-built vehicles, to build. Based on our research, the Preve Ute arrived at Bufori’s workshop as a standard 4-door Proton Preve sedan but left the doors a 2

Sejak dari mula, Proton amat dikenali dengan barisan kereta saloon yang sangat-sangat popular dikalangan keluarga di Malaysia. Proton Saga, Wira, Waja, Perdana, dan Preve adalah antara yang terkenal. Model yang paling bercita-cita tinggi adalah Proton Preve yang dikatakan sebagai kereta global pertama Proton. Di bawah perkongisan Proton-Geely, beberapa nama model yang akan datang telahpun didaftarkan. Ini termasuk X50 dan X70, dan juga beberapa nama lain yang telah didaftar seperti C50 dan S50.

Tular beberapa keping gambar mengenai Geely Preface yang sudah pun berada dalam fasa pengeluaran. Model terbaru Geely ini mungkin sebuah petanda untuk kemaskini model Proton Preve atau Proton Perdana baru akan tiba. Geely dilihat mengekalkan versi konsep Geely Preface yang dipamerkan pada tahun 2019 kepada versi pengeluaran. Antara rekaan konsep yang dikekalkan adalah gril hadapan dengan jeriji menegak, rekaan bumper depan yang agresif dan rekaan bumper belakang yang kemas. Namun begitu, beberap

Proton一直以其轿车而闻名,它们深受马来西亚家庭用户的欢迎,像Proton Saga、Wira、Waja、Perdana和Preve等都是很好的例子。而在这些轿车中,野心最大的当属Proton Preve了,它被称为Proton的首款全球车型。 而在Proton和吉利合作之后,已经有好几款未来的车型注册了商标。除了X50和X70之外,还有其它的名字也被注册了,其中就包括C50和S50。C50很可能会用到掀背车型上,而S50则可能是为轿车车型准备的。 在几乎将每一款吉利车型都进行Proton化渲染之后,Theophilus Chin又决定畅想一下新一代挂着“Proton S50”名号的Proton Preve / Proton Waja。我们必须承认,它看起来和吉利缤瑞十分相似。 Proton Waja和Proton Preve这两款车曾经都是Proton寄予了厚望的C级轿车,但最终它们都在没有后继者的情况下停产了。鉴于S50这个名字已经注册了商标,Proton推出新的C级轿车或许将会成为现实。 这张假想图实际上是基于Ford Focus轿车版渲染的,而车头则来源于Proton X5

Proton pernah mempertontonkan pelan produk 5 tahun akan datang bermula tahun 2019 ketika pelancaran Proton X70 CKD. Dalam jangkamasa tersebut, kelihatan 2 sedan sedang dirancang untuk pelancaran tahun 2021 dan 2022. Buat masa ini, tiada sebarang khabar angin buat model sedan daripada Proton untuk segmen C dan ke atas. Hal ini mungkin disebabkan oleh model sedan segmen C seperti Proton Waja, Proton Inspira dan Proton Preve dilancarkan ketika zaman kejatuhan Proton memberikan tanggapan yang kurang

A couple of years ago, Proton registered several trademarks, including one curiously-named S50, fueling speculations that a Proton Preve replacement model based on the Geely Binrui could happen. The S designation would be logical for Proton to rename their next-generation sedans, as Proton did utilize the S16 name for the Saga BLM in Australia. Although the C-segment sedan market is shrinking, many government fleets still require a C-segment sedan – the police force have resorted to the Honda Ci

Although Proton has introduced two SUVs to the market (X50 & X70), interest for a sedan Proton still remains high. Thus, the speculation of an upcoming Proton S50 intrigued many of us. That is quite understandable since Proton has given the people some decent saloons in the past. One that had so much promise was the Proton Preve. The Proton Preve was a C-segment saloon with high ambitions of being a global car. It was good looking, and had styling cues similar to the Honda City and Kia Forte of

Which type of car owner are you? Are you the type who makes sure your car air-conditioning is off before you even start the engine and start driving? The is a debate that has started since the concept of A/C in a car was invented, we bust the myth on whether this practice actually makes a difference. The myth of keeping all accessories off came from back in the day when cars still run on carburetors. This was when the advice to let your engine warm up came to be. But, we've since left carburetor

So, you want to buy a used car. Maybe it’s a project car, a unique car model you’ve always wanted, or a car model that’s not sold brand new in Malaysia. If your reason for buying a used car is a tight budget, you might want to consider other options like public transportation or a motorcycle. If you’re still here after reading that, we assume you’re serious about this, regardless of your reasons. Well, there’s a long list of things to look out for when buying used cars.

Bayangkan… Cuaca panas dan kereta anda dah berjemur di bawah terik mentari dari pagi. Nak masuk ke dalam kereta pun fikir dua kali, silap haribulan masak punggung bila duduk nanti. Dulu ayah ada pesan, kalau baru masuk kereta dan enjin belum panas lagi sebelum mula memandu, jangan buka aircond atau penghawa dingin. Tak elok untuk enjin katanya. Sudahlah panas, nak ikut ke tak nasihat ini? Sistem penghawa dingin dan enjin kereta tak sama Untuk pengetahuan, sistem atau motor penghawa dingin berasi

Geely has released teaser images of the soon-to-arrive Geely Preface on their Chinese social media platform. It looks like the previously leaked photos of a mysterious Geely sedan is indeed the Geely Preface and what could be the next Proton Preve or Perdana. From what we can see of the Preface from the teaser photos, the new sedan will bear a very similar silhouette to its Swedish cousins, the Volvo S60 and Volvo S90. The rear-end will feature 2 exhaust pipes while a chrome insert that connects

Perodua Kelisa telah diperkenalkan pada tahun 2001 sebagai pengganti Perodua Kancil. Disebabkan populariti dan sambutan Perodua Kancil yang masih memberansangkan, akhirnya kedua-dua model ini dijual bersampingan. Sudah tentu, jualan Perodua Kelisa menerima sedikit kesan tetapi ia menjadikan model ini lebih jarang ditemui berbanding Perodua Kancil. Bagi mereka yang sedang mencari-cari kereta dengan kos pemilikan yang rendah, Perodua Kelisa pasti menjadi pilihan. Harganya pula, masih stabil di ata

The Geely Preface is well on its way to becoming one of China’s most popular cars. Not only did it won the 2021 Chinese Car of the Year award, but it has also gathered a huge order book and is well on its way to joining China’s 10,000-car club. And it’s only been a month since the launch of the car! Sold as the Geely Xing Rui in China, an article posted on Baidu quoted a Geely executive that the Xing Rui has already sold over 7,000 units since its launch in November 2nd. The executive also revea

Recently, images of the production version of the Geely Preface have surfaced, hinting at what could be the next Proton Perdana/Preve. Much of the production version of the Geely Preface is carried over from the concept version that was shown back in 2019, including the revised front grille with vertical slats, aggressive front bumper, and sleek rear-end. That said, features like the slim side mirrors and suicide doors remain as concept-only features. Built on the CMA platform, the Geely Preface

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

The Honda City is not the only one who is throwing shade at multiple “competitors”! Geely, too, joined the bandwagon with an ad for its upcoming Geely Preface that calls out its luxury competitors. Geely dropped the ad yesterday across their social media platforms and the ad has since gone viral for its unique twist. The ad aims to show off the Geely Preface’s agility thanks to the popular CMA platform on the mountainous winding roads of China. In the video, a driver dressed in a business suit i

Had it been that we had no local automobile manufacturer, the Honda City / Honda Jazz would probably the most abundant vehicle on our Malaysian roads. The Honda City, as its name suggests, is a city car. While we may have only seen the petrol and hybrid versions of the city here, it is actually available in a diesel variant and even a manual transmission elsewhere. With the arrival of the new 2020 Honda City in Malaysia, it seems like a good time to look back at a brief history of the Honda City

Tarikh ini mungkin menjadi titik akhir bagi kereta-kereta Proton yang pernah mewarnai industri automotif negara walaupun sekadar konsep. Walaupun 7 buah model konsep Proton telah ditarik balik dari lelongan, kebanyakannya masih akan pergi ke tempat pelupusan atau diguna semula. Harus diingatkan bahawa kereta-kereta ini tidak mempunyai dokumen yang sah untuk d

Enjin 3 silinder dasawarsa ini meniti populariti dalam kalangan pengeluar kereta. Antara model bertuah yang dipasangkan dengan enjin ini adalah Nissan Almera turbo, Honda City pasaran Thailand, Proton X50 dan lebih mengujakan, Toyota GR Yaris. Malah, Christian von Koenigsegg juga memilih 3 silinder dalam usaha mengejar 600 HP kuasa kuda, kini menjadi hero peminat enjin 3 silinder.

Kalaulah kita tak ada pembuat kereta tempatan, Honda City atau Honda Jazz mungkin akan mendominasi jalanraya di Malaysia. Honda City, padan dengan namanya, sememangnya sebuah kereta bandar yang cukup bagus. Walaupun model yang kita boleh jumpa di sini adalah City versi petrol dan hibrid, ia juga sebenarnya boleh didapati dalam varian diesel dan transmisi manual di negara lain. Dengan kehadiran Honda City 2020 baharu di Malaysia, sesuailah jika kiranya kita imbas semula sejarah ringkas Honda City
