The Isuzu D-Max Buy and Win contest that ran between April and June 2019 saw Ghanie Entalang of Sebauh, Sarawak and Sugumaran A/L Nagappan from Seremban walk away with another brand new Isuzu D-Max 2.5 Auto 4x4. Ghanie Entalang works as a scaffolder in Sebauh, Sarawak and is no stranger to the features that the Isuzu D-Max has to offer. Sugumaran, whose business requires him to visit oil-palm plantations often, is new to the Isuzu family. Both men were surprised by their win and could hardly bel

Toyota C-HR Toyota Malaysia dalam diam sudah pun menggugurkan model Toyota C-HR dari laman web rasmi mereka. SUV dengan pesaing terdekat seperti Honda HR-V dan Subaru XV itu dijangka akan digantikan dengan model baharu, Toyota Corolla Cross. Nasib yang lebih baik mungkin menyebelahi Toyota Corolla Cross kerana ia telah dirancang sebagai model pemasangan CKD. Pemasangan akan dilakukan oleh kilang kedua anak syarikat UMW Toyota iaitu Assembly Services Sdn. Bhd. (ASSB) di Bukit Raja, Shah Alam. Sta

Regular service is part and parcel of car ownership, UMW Toyota (UMWT) aims to make servicing Toyota cars easier with the introduction of the Toyota Service Savers package. Toyota Service Savers (TSS) is a maintenance package that new Toyota owners can opt to purchase when they collect their new cars. UMWT has also made the package part of the Toyota EZ Beli Plan as an option. The TSS package covers all costs of the service in advance for the first 5 years from the time of purchase. This means a
(2019 Toyota Harrier Price & Specs | Gallery) The Toyota Harrier is a well-known name amongst Malaysians, as the model has long established itself as a premium crossover with solid Japanese reliability. But despite its long history in Malaysia, the model was never offered as an official Toyota product in Malaysia – instead it was sold by recon dealers. That soon changed with the third-generation model, as Toyota Malaysia finally realized the popularity of the Harrier in Malaysia, and brought the
UMW Toyota Motor hari ini melancarkan Special Service Campaign (SSC) yang melibatkan pemilik Toyota Fortuner dan Toyota Hilux. Pemanggilan semula ini adalah untuk memeriksa dan mengganti penguat brek (brake booster). Komponen injap brek di dalam booster ini boleh mengurangkan prestasi pemberhentian kenderaan. Menurut UMW, sebanyak 1,426 unit Toyota Fortuner dan 11,571 unit Toyota Hilux terlibat di dalam pemanggilan ini. Walau bagaimanapun, unit yang terkesan adalah keluaran dari Julai 2018 hingg
We all know the Toyota Avanza. The strangely proportioned 7-seater MPV that has the ground clearance of an SUV. While opinions are split between the car’s look, there was no denying that it was a helpful workhorse whether you’re ferrying workers or family around. Those on the elderly side also love the height clearance as it means easier ingress and egress! If you’re a very observant person, you would notice that according to the Avanza’s VIN plate, the car is made in Indonesia by PT. Astra Daih
Toyota has been quite busy these few months coming off the launch of the Corolla Cross, the refreshed Hilux, and the Yaris Cross. There seems to be nothing stopping the Japanese giant and the world’s largest automotive company. According to Indonesia’s Autonetmagz, Toyota has filed a trademark for a brand-new model name called the BZ. The trademark has been filed through the US Patent Office on 22 May 2020. What does this mean? The BZ name isn’t new to Toyota though. It was used in a few variant
UMW Toyota akan melancarkan satu model baru pada 17 Disember. Sudah menjadi kebiasaan promo acah pada fasa awalnya, maklumat terperinci belum didedahkan. Tapi, cara dan intonasi iklannya berbunyi agak ‘hip’, ditujukan kepada orang muda dengan gaya. Oleh itu, kita dah boleh jangkakan yang ia barangkali bukannya Toyota Fortuner mahupun Toyota Innova, walaupun kedua-dua model ini sudah patut menerima kemaskini, meniru penambahbaikan yang baru seperti Toyota Hilux yang berkongsi platform IMV. Mungki
Typical of such pre-launch teasers, details are intentionally held back but the tone and manner of the communication suggests something youthful, emotional and sporty. So we can safely rule out cars like the Toyota Fortuner and Toyota Innova, both of which are also due for an update, following a similar refresh for the shared IMV-platform Toyota Hilux. Could it be the new updated Toyota Vios and Toyota Yaris then? Bookings are opened for both models, both are yet to be launched. The Vios-Yaris t
Toyota Corolla Cross Toyota C-HR sudah digugurkan secara senyap dari laman web rasmi Toyota. Tindakan ini seolah-olah menandakan bahawa SUV kompak tersebut akan segera keluar dari pasaran Malaysia. SUV terbaru yang dilancarkan Toyota iaitu Toyota Corolla Cross dikatakan bakal mengisi kekosongan tersebut. Kami difahamkan bahawa kilang pemasangan kedua Toyota di Bukit Raja, Assembly Services Sdn. Bhd.’s (ASSB) sedang melakukan persedian untuk mengubah susun atur untuk pemasangan SUV. Ini menguatka
Beberapa minggu lepas, kami ada laporkan yang Toyota Vios 2020 facelift akan tiba pada bulan Disember dan akan mengiringinya ialah varian Gazoo Racing (GR). Kini, Toyota sedang mengacah satu lagi model yang ditunggu ramai iaitu Toyota Yaris 2021 facelift. Ia hanyalah acah yang biasa-biasa saja dengan satu gambar yang menunjukkan lampu hadapan LED Yaris yang dimuatnaik pada laman sesawang Toyota Malaysia dan media sosialnya. Rekaannya menyerupai Yaris spesifikasi Thailand, tapi kita boleh jangkak
Toyota Indonesia has just launched the refreshed Toyota Agya, which is known to Malaysians as the Perodua Axia. During the press conference, which was streamed online amid the Covid-19 pandemic, the Indonesian media queried about the potential arrival of the Toyota Raize. To which Toyota Indonesia did not deny that the budget compact SUV is bound for its local market. Kazunori Minamide, Marketing Director of PT. Toyota-Astra Motor said that while they have not decided on the Raize, they are cons
The Japanese Bubble Era of the late eighties and early nineties was a wonderful time to be around as a car fan. That period saw Japan’s automotive industry exploded into an era filled with technological and design masterpieces. The soaring asset prices and strong Japanese yen caused Japanese automakers like Nissan, Toyota and Honda to be more daring by launching legendary icons like the R32 Skyline GT-R and the Honda NSX as well as luxury brands like Lexus and Infiniti. At the same time, most of
Perodua D55L Toyota Motor Corporation dilihat kembali ke landasan keuntungan ketika dunia sedang bergelut dengan wabak Covid-19. Jumlah penjualan dari Januari hingga Ogos 2020 yang mengalami peningkatan turut mengira jumlah penjualan daripada anak syarikat Toyota Motor Corporation iaitu Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. dan Hino Motors, Ltd. Antara faktor kejayaan Toyota pada saat-saat sukar ini adalah peningkatan penjualan model-model terbaru secara domestik antaranya adalah Toyota Harrier, Toyota Yaris
Following their debut at the Tokyo Auto Salon in January this year, famed Toyota tuner Tom’s will open orders for their tuned 2020 Toyota GR Supra and 2020 Toyota Century this weekend. The Supra gets a new turbo, intercooler and an ECU tweak among other mods to bump the power up from 335 PS to 460 PS. Meanwhile, stiffened chassis and new Brembo six-piston brake calipers mated to 380mm discs means the newfound power stays in check. Unlike us (hopefully), when cars go on a diet they become wider.
Toyota Harrier Toyota RAV4 The all-new 2020 Toyota Harrier will officially go on sale in June. From the preliminary specifications released by Toyota, the Harrier appears to share many similarities with the Toyota RAV4. Why does Toyota have two SUVs in the same segment? Here’s a brief comparison. It is true that both SUVs are very similar to each other. The Harrier and RAV4 are categorised in the same segment, built on the TNGA-K platform shared with the Toyota Camry. Both SUVs also share the sa
"We have a new 86 team," revealed by the 2020 Toyota Supra chief engineer Tetsuya Tada when speaking with Motor. Despite Toyota's local PR representatives insisted that having a development team does not guarantee a new model, Tada has deliberately encouraged a trace of the Toyota 86. It is promising to see the new sports car developed; it is not however, to witness the debut of it considering the automotive industry has plummeted. Nevertheless, the shrinking car market does give car giants a ch
UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has just announced a recall campaign on Toyota Avanza models manufactured from October 2017 to June 2019. This recall campaign, which UMWT calls a Special Service Campaign (SSC) affects 3,923 units of the Avanza. The recall is an extension of a previous announcement affecting the vehicle’s fuel pump. Models not listed here are not affected in this latest campaign. According to Toyota, the affected vehicles are equipped with a fuel pump that may stop operating. If this wer
Toyota Vios Sebelum ini, terdapat khabar angin yang mengatakan bahawa Toyota Vios bakal menerima facelift ringkas pada hujung tahun 2020. Tidak mahu diketepikan dari saingan Honda City 2020 serba baru dan Nissan Almera Turbo 2020 serba baru, Toyota Vios dikatakan bakal mengenakan facelift berdasarkan Toyota Yaris Ativ di Thailand. Sehubungan dengan itu, Toyota Vios 2020 facelift tersebut turut dilaporkan bakal menerima varian GR (Gazoo Racing). Gazoo Racing adalah lencana prestasi Toyota yang me

Toyota Corolla Cross Kami telah melaporkan intipan Toyota Corolla Cross yang akan datang di mana SUV tersebut akan hadir dengan spoiler besar di belakangnya. Kini kita mempunyai penampilan pertama di bahagian hadapan pula. Toyota sedaya upaya menutup rupa model ini dengan pelbagai penyamaran. Bahagian hadapannya disamarkan lengkap dengan bentuk potongan yang dibuat-buat untuk sengaja mengelirukan kita. Tetapi dari sedikit yang dapat kita lihat, kelihatan seperti Corolla Cross akan mempunyai jalu
Toyota has just unveiled the 2021 Venza for the North American market, which is essentially a rebadged fourth-generation Toyota Harrier. Like the Toyota Harrier, the 2021 Venza will be assembled at the Takaoka plant. For the North American market, the 2021 Venza is only available with a 2.5-litre Toyota Hybrid II system that does a combined system output of 218 PS, identical to the Japanese market Harrier. The 2.0-litre naturally-aspirated Dynamic Force petrol engine (171 PS, 207 Nm) isn’t avail
The 2020 Toyota Corolla Cross made its global debut in early July and it could prove to be the much-needed catalyst for UMW Toyota Motor to compete in the hotly-contested B-segment SUV market when it arrives here later this year. Here’s a little bit of background to as why the UMWT needs the Corolla Cross in its line-up. Recall back in 2015 when Honda Malaysia introduced the Honda HR-V. UMWT had to watch on the sidelines as they did not have a model to compete against the HR-V. Further rubbing s
