The Toyota Crown is one of Toyota’s longest-running nameplates, having been introduced in 1955. Though the name has been applied to a few body styles all these years, including pick-ups and station wagons, the Crown is more familiar on sedans. With sales of sedans dwindling across the globe, there are rumours that could see the royal emblem continue on as an SUV. Previously, we reported that FAW Toyota has registered the Crown Kluger name in China, and now, we found fully revealing images of wha

For the first time ever, the iconic Toyota Crown nameplate could be fitted to an SUV, a move that was kickstarted by the Toyota Corolla Cross. Though it may sound sacrilegious for Toyota to adopt the Crown nameplate on an SUV, the company has been toying with the idea for a while, as sales of sedans have been dwindling over the past couple of years. The Crown nameplate, according to a report by Chunichi Shimbun back in November 2020, would be fitted to an SUV and go on sale in China and the US.

Selain daripada Toyota, Hyundai juga sibuk mengeluarkan model crossover baharu. Malaysia cuma ada 3 crossover Hyundai iaitu Santa Fe, Tucson, dan Kona yang akan datang tak lama lagi. Di luar negara pula, beberapa model crossover seperti Creta dan Venue yang bertubuh kecil sedikit, Nexo yang ‘fuel-cell-powered’, dan juga Palisade yang sasa dan besar.

Besides Toyota, another brand busy with new crossover models is Hyundai. While Malaysia has only 3 (Santa Fe, Tucson, and the soon-to-arrive Kona), overseas there are also the smaller Creta and Venue, the fuel-cell-powered Nexo, and the gargantuan Palisade.

We know we previously associated that the large 7-seater Geely Haoyue launched in June is likely the Proton X90. But with Geely’s plans to design future Proton cars on the CMA platform, we speculate that this SUV built on the CMA platform spied in China has a higher chance of becoming the Proton X90, if it ever comes to Malaysia that is. Codenamed the KX11, the heavily camouflaged SUV spied in the photos clearly advertises the fact that it was built on the Volvo-Geely Compact Modular Architectur

The previous generation XU60 Toyota Harrier was quite a car. The 2.0-litre VVT-iW 8AR-FTS turbocharged 231 PS / 350 Nm was the best turbocharged 4-cylinder engine on the market, until it was pulled off the showroom floor. Among all force-induction four bangers, the 8AR-FTS revved and pulled most like a naturally-aspirated engine. Dynamically, it was superior to the entry Mercedes-Benz GLC 200. It’s not that the GLC is bad, but if you are shopping for one, stick only to the GLC 250 (re-designated

上一代XU60 Toyota Harrier的表现相当出色。2.0升VVT-iW 8AR-FTS涡轮增压引擎（231 PS / 350 Nm）一度是市场上最好的涡轮增压四缸引擎，直到它被新一代车型所抛弃。 在所有的强制进气四缸引擎中，8AR-FTS的转速和输出特性是最像自然进气引擎的。 在动力上，它要比入门级的Mercedes-Benz GLC 200还更胜一筹。并不是说GLC不好，但如果你要选购的话，请尽量选择GLC 250（改款车型为300）。 即使是在二手车市场上，XU60 Harrier也依然保持着很高的价格，因为与早期车型不同，XU60也是由UMW Toyota Motor销售的，这意味着售后服务是有保障的。 全新款的XU80 Harrier需要达到很高的标准，它能做到吗？这款车型几日前刚刚上市，并且只提供一款2.0升自然进气车型，售价为RM 249,706（截至2021年6月30日），从日本整车进口（CBU）。 相比之下，上一代XU60 Harrier Turbo是在2017年推出的，Premium车型的售价为RM 238,000，Luxury车型的售价为RM 259,90
