Is the Toyota Avanza a Toyota or a Daihatsu?

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

Honda Jazz Hybrid vs Honda Jazz V vs Toyota Yaris; combing through the spec sheet

We’ve compared the Honda Jazz and Toyota Yaris multiple times. But we’ve never really looked closely at the equipment list that each car has. So, we decided to go through the equipment list with a fine-tooth comb! Here’s a quick reminder of each car’s variant equipment list: For this guide, we’re comparing the top spec Toyota Yaris G with the top spec Honda Jazz V variant and the Honda Jazz Hybrid as well. In terms of safety equipment, the Yaris far outshines both Jazz V and Hybrid variants. Wit

Watch: Man deploys cleaver knife to threaten another man after rear-end incident

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

Video: 2019 Toyota C-HR Review, why is it so expensive?!

That's our Toyota C-HR review vedio. The Toyota C-HR was launched in Malaysia in March 2018. It subsequently went through a minor update in 2019 with better features and revised styling. Prior to the launch, the public was seriously hyped up for the Toyota C-HR following UMW Toyota Motor's extensive campaign for the SUV. I still remember clearly the amount of attention the Toyota C-HR got when it first made its public preview at the 2017 Carlist.my Test, Drive and Buy event. Toyota C-HR Price Un

Say goodbye to the RWD Toyota Avanza, hello new gen Perodua Alvanza?

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

2020 Mazda CX-30 vs. Toyota C-HR comparison, why not a Honda CR-V?

The 2020 Mazda CX-30 will be coming to Malaysia soon as the official distributor, Bermaz Motor is now accepting bookings for their latest Mazda CX-30. Pricing was not in the CX-30’s favour it will be fully imported rather than assembled locally at Mazda Malaysia’s plant. This positioning places it in the league of the Toyota C-HR and not the Honda HR-V. Naturally so, as the 2020 Mazda CX-30 is a direct competitor to the C-HR and not the HR-V. Mazda has the CX-3 for that. The CX-30 and C-HR could

跟后驱的Toyota Avanza说再见了,我们要迎来新一代的Perodua "Alvanza" 了?

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

Less choices for consumers as Toyota and Honda decline, Proton/Perodua extend lead

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

Why is the Toyota 86 so much more expensive than the VW Golf GTI?

When the 200 PS Toyota 86 was first launched in Malaysia in 2012, its asking price was RM 243,000 for the manual, and RM 249,000 for the automatic variant. For a supposedly affordable sports car, its pricing in Malaysia is hardly affordable at all. The more powerful (220 PS), more practical Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk7 can be had for about RM17k less, at RM 227,888. Toyota 86 UMW Toyota then introduced the facelifted 86 in 2017.

What are those hieroglyphs on tyres?

You’ve probably seen it, the numbers and letters etched onto tyre sidewalls. But what do they mean and how does it benefit you to know? Well to answer the first question, it’s the tyre’s measurement and specification. Think of how a tailor measures your size, it's similar for tyres as tyre sizes are rather specific. Let’s use the above's tyre, 255/40 R21 Y XL as example. 255 is the width in millimeters (mm). 40 is the thickness of the side profile using a percentage of the width (in this case is

Volvo S60 T8 is the cheapest new car on sale with over 400 PS

In a world where a 1,500 PS Bugatti Chiron is allowed to roam freely on the public roads, we have become desensitised to horsepower figures. It wasn’t too long ago (the 90s wasn’t too long ago, right?) that 400 PS was reserved for supercars and super sports cars like the Ferrari 360 Modena (400 PS from a 3.6-litre V8) and Porsche 996.2 GT3 RS (405 PS from a 3.6-litre in-line 6). These days, everything from a little hatchback to a family saloon can pack 400 PS or more. Hence, it’s quite easy to s

Honda HR-V vs Subaru XV vs Toyota C-HR vs Mazda CX-3: Which is best for you?

A cross between a traditional hatchback and a tall riding SUV, the so-called crossover segment is now the fastest growing segment in Malaysia. Buyers like the taller seating position offered by such cars because it’s easier to get in/out, and offers a more commanding view of the road ahead. However because crossovers are smaller than a traditional Honda CR-V class type of vehicle, it’s easier to park and cheaper to refuel, thus making such cars ideal for urbanities. The segment is overwhelmingly
