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

Kia has just revealed the interior of the 2021 Kia Carnival. Based on these images, it definitely gives off a premium vibe just like we expect from last week's spy shots. The spacious and futuristic interior design is based on the ‘Spatial Talents’ interior design concept. The dash itself looks similar to the latest Sorento. Both the 12.3-inch digital driver’s instrument panel and the 12.3-inch infotainment screen are linked by one single glass panel. Kia has also confirmed that there will be 7,

The interior of the 2020 Honda Civic as Honda tells us is designed with the 'man maximum, machine minimum' philosophy in mind. Which is just another way to say they squeezed out every bit of space possible, really. Is that really the case though? Let's take a closer look at the Civic's interior and pit some notable changes against its older one, just so you have an idea on what's new and see if it really does embody Honda's philosophy. Without further ado... Good ergonomics Space is something it

Over the past few days, residents in Serdang were both amused and horrified over a viral video showing a man wielding a large cleaver knife and threatening another man in a parking lot. It is believed that the Proton Saga owner had rear-ended the Toyota Unser driven by the man holding the cleaver knife after he was rear-ended by a Mitsubishi Triton in turn. The argument got heated when the man started grabbing the Saga owner by the neck and raising the cleaver. Fortunately, the argument ended wi

By now you would’ve seen the all-new Honda Jazz, which made its world premiere yesterday at the opening of the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show in Japan, where the Jazz is sold as the Fit. The fourth generation Honda Jazz will only go on sale in Japan in February 2020 so details like body dimensions and engine specifications are still unclear, but we do know that in Japan (and Europe), the all-new Honda Jazz will be sold exclusively as a hybrid. It will most likely be a 1.5-litre full hybrid but unlike the

The end could be near for the rear-wheel drive Toyota Avanza, as the model could be merged with the front-wheel drive Perodua Alza in the near future. Perodua Alvanza, anyone? Back in April, we reported that the Daihatsu DN Multisix concept shown at the 2017 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (2017 GIIAS) could preview the next-gen Toyota Avanza and Perodua Alza, seeing that both models are a tad bit long in the tooth. According to Creative Trend, Daihatsu is currently developing a new M

It looks like Kia has been busy recruiting some of the best talents from BMW. The latest recruit to Kia Motors is Jochen Paesen, a former BMW interior designer. The Belgian-born Paesen will become Kia’s vice president of interior design, reporting under a team led by Karim Habib - himself a former BMW head of design. Coincidence? Maybe not. With Paesen's appointment, this marks Kia’s third major recruitment from BMW over the past years. Along with Karim Habib, this also includes Albert Biermann,

Black-coloured interior too dull for you? Fret not, Honda Malaysia today announced a new interior colour addition to the Honda HR-V RS – a classy dark brown leather. If you've been eyeing a HR-V RS for some time, you can now choose between the new classy dark brown leather interior or the existing stylish black leather interior. This new interior colour is a no-cost option. This new interior colour treatment not only goes to the leather seats, but also extends to the centre console, front panel,

We’ve seen plenty of spy shots of the all-new fourth generation 2021 Hyundai Tucson testing on the road. Now we get a glimpse of the interior of the upcoming SUV and we’re surprised at the two massive screens. The interior seen in the photo is speculated to be the range-topping variants of the Tucson. It features an infotainment touchscreen that can rival a Volvo’s touchscreen in size. The touchscreen also came with touch-type buttons down the side. Other than that, look beyond the rather old fa

Tiga pejalan kaki cedera selepas sebuah Proton Iriz dipandu seorang warga emas berusia 82 tahun cuba mengelak sebuah motosikal yang secara tiba-tiba masuk ke laluannya hilang kawalan dan merempuh masuk kawasan Pasar Pagi Klebang Jaya, Chemor di sini pada jam 9 pagi, Sabtu. Timbalan Ketua Polis Daerah Ipoh, Superintendan Mohamed Nordin Abdullah berkata, pemandu itu yang dalam perjalanan pulang ke rumah terkejut dan cuba mengelak ke kanan sebelum terlanggar sebuah van jenis Toyota Unser yang dilet

Following last week’s reveal of the exterior of the Geely Preface, some people can’t help but notice the whole Volvo connection in the design of the future(?) Proton Perdana. Well, maybe these interior pics might tell you otherwise. The flagship Geely sedan gets a really exquisite-looking yacht blue and light grey colour combo that definitely stands out when you step foot inside. It doesn’t look like a Volvo inside, but it does have an aura of one. Adding on the luxury feel is the floating 12.3-

Over the years of owning your car, the interior would have picked up a fair bit of dirt, in addition to the usual wear and tear. Here’s some quick and low-cost tips on how you can refresh your car’s interior and maximixe your car's value. A good cleaning does wonders First things first. You should give the interior a good cleaning. Take a microfibre cloth soaked in mild soap water and gently clean the plastic surfaces of your car’s interior.

Here we go again, it’s the 2021 W223 Mercedes-Benz S-Class. We now have a pretty good idea on what the upcoming flagship Mercedes-Benz looks like since the spy shots, but the interior shots were with the car shut off. Now let’s take a brief look at the interior with the car running. From the start, there is the seat adjustment controls, which is typically located on the door panels in Mercedes-Benz cars. Then you get to the instrument display that displays ‘EQ’, suggesting that a mild-hybrid mod

Kia is serious about going upmarket and the all-new 2020 Kia Sorento is a testament to that statement. It’s got a bold exterior design, luxurious with more tech than your smartphone. The Kia Sorento wears the Korean carmaker’s ‘refined boldness’ design language that was first seen in the Kia Seltos – which is coming to Malaysia soon. Gone is the rounded look of the previous generation Sorentos, replaced by strong lines and vertical design elements inspired by Kia’s massive US-only Telluride. It

后轮驱动的Toyota Avanza可能即将迎来终结,因为这个车型很快就要和前轮驱动的Perodua Alza合并了。 Perodua "Alvanza",有兴趣吗? 早在4月份,我们就报道过,在2017年印尼国际车展(2017 GIIAS)上出现的Daihatsu DN Multisix概念车身上,我们已经可以看到下一代Toyota Avanza和Perodua Alza的样子了,毕竟这两款车都已经有些过时了。 根据Creative Trend的说法,Daihatsu正在Daihatsu新全球架构(DNGA)平台上开发新的MPV,而其原型可能就是Daihatsu DN Multisix概念车。 这个转变对处于东盟地区的我们来说,可能是个好消息。因为Daihatsu的新MPV可能会是下一代Toyota Avanza和Perodua Alza的基础。Avanza和Alza可能都会被整合为一个相同的车型。 这款新MPV可能会搭载涡轮增压和混动两套动力系统 除了DNGA平台外,Creative Trend的报道中也提到,Daihatsu的新MPV可能会搭载与Daihatsu Rocky和To

GAC Triumpchi GS3 mungkin antara samaran yang paling sukar untuk kami cam setiap kali kelibatnya ditemui. Kali ini, kami terima klip video yang memberi intaian pertama buat interior SUV tersebut. Walaupun video tersebut agak pendek, ia cukup jelas untuk memberitahu bahawa salah satu dari varian yang pernah ditemui hadir dengan sistem infotainment sesentuh 8 inci. Perlu dimaklumkan bahawa unit di dalam video tersebut adalah varian yang lebih rendah – antena ‘shark fin’ dan tiada rel bumbung. Untu

We suspect that this Perodua Bezza is triggered by a certain Honda ad that called out all its competitors, so the driver decided to prove it wrong! All jokes aside, this is why you should refrain from overtaking slower cars when driving on a narrow winding road. In this viral dashcam footage, the Bezza is seen attempting to overtake 3 cars in one go on a narrow mountainous road. After driving pass the car with the dashcam, instead of sliding back into the lane it continued driving in the wrong d

Over the next 5 years, the new normal for the Malaysian car market will eventually see less choices for consumers as the Big-3 Japanese car makers – Toyota, Honda, Nissan – retreat and cede ground to Proton and Perodua, whose upcoming range of models are more than a match against alternatives from Toyota and Honda. The Proton X70 has already eroded Honda Malaysia's sales, though it's still the No.1 non-national brand here. The Proton X50 will certainly suppress Honda’s progress even further. The

You’ve seen the spy shots, leaked patent, and digital rendering of the upcoming all-new 2021 Nissan X-Trail on Wapcar before, but what you’re about to see here is the best look of the SUV yet. These leaked images have surfaced on a French web forum recently, and from the last digital rendering outlook which features more muscular silhouette, larger trademark ‘V-motion’ grille and redesigned LED headlights, it is pretty spot on. The biggest change, however, lies in the interior design, particular

Perhaps one of the more curious models we’ve came across is the GAC Trumpchi GS3 Power. It took the team several hours trying to decipher the model when the spyshot came in. Now, we received a video of the said GS3 Power, this time giving us a glance at the SUV’s interior. While the 7-second-long video isn’t long by any means, it does reveal that at least one variant will receive an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, as shown above. Keep in mind that the vehicle in question is the lower spe

Previously, we reported on leaked patent images of the 11th generation Honda Civic in both its sedan and hatchback form. Now more patent images have surfaced and we get our first look at the car’s interior and exterior details as well. From what we can make out on the dashboard, the next-generation Civic looks like there will be special trim running across the passenger side of the dashboard. The patent images also show that the new Civic's steering wheel will have toggle switches and a scroll r

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.

On paper, the Toyota Vios has got it all. 7 airbags, 360-degree Panoramic View Monitor, brilliant driving experience, a supremely quiet cabin (69 dB at 110 km/h based on our tests) and more in a very attractive price starting from RM 77,200 to RM 87,300 for the range topper. But there is one deal breaker that has us halting and reaching for the Toyota Yaris brochure (which, mind you, is very similar to the Vios’) instead, and that is the very annoying blind-spot monitor beep. Yes, both the Vios

(2019 Toyota Vios prices and specs | Gallery) To begin with, a full disclosure – my daily is a 2014 (third generation pre-facelift) Toyota Vios and some bias may be involved in this review, but not in the way that you think, it's actually against the Toyota Vios. Personally, the Toyota Vios has never been appealing because to me, it is merely a means to avoid our national brands. And when my family decided to get one back in 2014, needless to say I wasn't particularly thrilled by the news. But p

Recently, our colleague Zamil had the opportunity to spend some time in the new Toyota RAV4. Toyota’s new kid on the block is here to challenge the Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5’s status quo. Powered by Toyota’s new 2.0 and 2.5-litre Dynamic Force engines, and utilising the new TNGA-K platform that also underpins the Corolla Altis and Camry, the RAV4’s recipe is a compelling one. All that being said, it really is a big ask for Toyota to demand RM 215,700 (after SST reductions) for the 2.5 variant. T

With local artists leading the marketing campaign, it is clear that Toyota is aiming at a fun lifestyle concept rather than a practical daily people mover. But car enthusiasts flocked to showrooms all the same to rediscover the hatchback, eager to see if the Toyota Yaris could live up to the Honda Jazz's sol
