What makes a car a 3-door or a 5-door?

You’ve often heard the term 3-door and 5-door used when describing a car. For example, MINI literally names their famous hatch MINI 3-Door and MINI 5-Door. But why does MINI name their cars a 3-Door or a 5-Door when there are only either 2 doors and 4 doors for ingress and egress on the cars? Put simply, any door like structure which includes window on a car large enough for an adult to climb in and out of is considered a “door”. So, the terms 3-door and 5-door are reserved mostly for hatchbacks

5-Door Suzuki Jimny reportedly in the works, possible Malaysian debut?

When Suzuki unveiled the all-new fourth-generation Jimny a few years ago, it was only available as a 3-door model. But that could change soon, as Suzuki’s India arm, Maruti Suzuki, is reportedly working on a larger 5-door version of the evergreen SUV. While the 5-door variant may gain more doors over its 3-door sibling, the rest of the Jimny should remain identical, down to its ladder frame construction, 4-wheel drive system with low-range transfer case, and rigid axles on the front and rear.

Review: BMW M340i xDrive, is this the four-door Toyota GR Supra?

Every so often, there are cars that cross our paths and leave an indelible mark in our motoring journey. We have been rather fortunate in the past few weeks, having sampled the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 and now, the BMW M340i xDrive. Not one, but two cars powered by 6-cylinders? Happy days. I used to tell people, don’t bother buying a BMW unless it’s a 6-cylinder (which obviously sounds rather daft now). You see, Munich’s finest cars have, more often than not, possessed of a 6-cylinder heart. Alas,

Here's why you should check your surroundings before you open your car door!

Do you check your surroundings or your side mirrors before you open your car door? If you do, then pat yourself on the back. If you don’t, then you should start this healthy habit. Accidents where pedestrians, especially bicyclists, ran into opening car doors are becoming a common occurrence that the term ‘car dooring’ has been coined to describe these accidents.

新款的Nissan Almera确实是一款被低估的精品车型,但就销量而言,即使在马来西亚,它与Honda City和Toyota Vios也依旧有着巨大的差距。然而在2月份,Nissan Almera在泰国做到了一件不可思议的事情 —— 它超越了Vios,成为了当地第二大畅销的B级轿车。 根据最新的销售数据,Toyota Vios(在泰国以Yaris Ativ销售)是1月份泰国的第二大畅销B级轿车,仅次于Honda City。Nissan Almera在1月份还是第三名,但到了2月份就攀升到了第二名,销量为1,454辆,而Yaris Ativ为1,156辆。 泰规版的Toyota Yaris Ativ虽然看起来很像大马的Vios,但它们其实搭载了不同的引擎。Yaris Ativ搭载的是一具1.2升的3NR-FE引擎(92 PS/109 Nm),这也使其成为了泰国的Eco Car环保车型。 Toyota在泰国销售的Vios搭载的是1.5升的2NR-FBE引擎(108 PS/140 Nm),但该车型基本上就是老款的Vios,只是在外观上有所变化。 不过,Almera的2月份销量还是成功超过
