Malaysia’s (and the rest of Asia’s) most loved status symbol wheels – the Toyota Alphard and Toyota Vellfire twins – have been updated for 2020. Both the Alphard’s and Vellfire’s list of safety features have been bumped up further with the addition of Toyota Safety Sense’s full suite of advanced driving aids (ADAS). It now comes with Pre-Collision System, Lane Departure Alert, Lane Tracing Assist, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (with stop-go), automatic high beam, and accelerator pedal misapplicat
Sales of the current AH30 generation Toyota Alphard / Toyota Vellfire twins will end next year in 2022. The next generation 2022 model however, will be rationalized into just one model, only the Toyota Alphard. It also means that the current AH30 generation Toyota Vellfire will be the last. To commemorate the end of the Alphard / Vellfire twins, Toyota will be introducing a final edition model of sorts for the Alphard / Vellfire twins. Sources in Japan say that the upgraded final edition Alphard
Penjualan kembar Toyota Alphard dan Vellfire terkini (AH30) akan berakhir pada tahun 2022.

Untuk memperingati pengakhiran Alphard/Vellfire AH30, Toyota akan memperkenalkan model edisi akhir khas bagi kedua-dua MPV ini.

Toyota Alphard dan kembarnya Vellfire yang sporty telah mengungguli jalan raya di Malaysia selama bertahun-tahun sejak diperkenalkan pada tahun 2002 dan 2008.

Toyota Alphard Toyota Vellfire Toyota Alphard dan Toyota Vellfire memang terkenal sebagai simbol CEO Megah Holding. Mana tidaknya, kebanyakan model-model ini mempunyai nombor plat dengan lambang penganugerahan. Sudah tentulah masyarakat memandang kedua-dua model kereta ini sebagai simbol status.

The Toyota Alphard and its sporty-looking twin, the Vellfire have been the mainstay of Malaysian roads for years ever since they were introduced in 2002 and 2008 respectively. However, the time of terrorizing the fast lane, transporting VIPs and towkays might be ending for one of them. Tanks for the memories According to Japanese site, Best Car, Toyota has announced that it would be downsizing some of its models beginning with the Toyota Tank mini MPV. The Tank will continue on sale until 15 Sep
There's no doubt that the Toyota Alphard (and its Vellfire twin) is the best luxury MPV on the market. Few other cars can match the Alphard/Vellfire's spaciousness and ease of entrace/exit. Compared to a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the Alphard's sliding doors allow you to step in/out of the car as if it's a room, rather than a car. The only question left is whether to buy a cheap reconditioned (recond) unit or pay up for an officially-imported unit by UMW Toyota Motor? Let’s take a closer look at the
The B-segment hatch market is the most popular market in the Asian region, so it is not a surprise that there are plenty of options for the picking. Out of all the options, the Honda Jazz and the Toyota Yaris reigns supreme, with only the Mazda 2 being close to holding a candle next to these two. Disclaimer: The Perodua Myvi don’t count. The car sits in a class of its own! Between the Honda Jazz and the Toyota Yaris’s offerings, many are hard pressed to determine which car is better suited for t

Over in Seoul, Hyundai has launched the all-new Hyundai Staria, a spacious MPV with a price range of 27 million won (RM 99,547) to 41 million won (RM 151,165), depending on options. Aptly named the Staria, Hyundai’s new MPV evokes the streamlined form of a spaceship, defined by a single stroke running from the front to the rear of the vehicle. According to Hyundai, this is inspired by the curve of light that illuminates the Earth’s horizon at sunrise when viewed from space. The Hyundai Staria is

Having just introduced the new 2020 Toyota Alpbard and Vellfire, UMW Toyota Motor isn’t slowing down just yet. 2020 Toyota Hilux, Toyota Fortuner Following the debut of the updated luxury MPVs, we can expect UMWT to introduce the facelifted Hilux and Fortuner later this year. This notion is supported by the fact that both updated models have been caught on Thai streets, indicating that Toyota is readying up these models for a likely 2020 debut. 2020 Toyota RAV4 Apart from these models, UMWT is a

20 tahun yang lalu, apabila kereta MPV tengah mencanak naik popularitinya, Honda melancarkan Stream. Tiga tahun selepas itu, pada tahun 2003, Toyota pula melancarkan pesaingnya iaitu Wish. Kedua-dua MPV ini menjadi kegemaran di kalangan keluarga yang mahukan sebuah MPV yang menonjolkan gaya ‘sporty’. Ia sering dilihat meluncur megah di jalanraya Malaysia, dan mungkin ada dikalangan pembaca yang membesar dengan kereta ini. Lama kelamaan, kereta seperti MPV berkembang menjadi SUV crossover. Angka
Twenty years ago, when the MPV was still an in-thing, Honda launched the Stream. Three years later, in 2003, Toyota launched its own challenger into the ring, the Wish. Both these MPVs were a delight among families who wanted an MPV that gave off a sporty presence. They were once commonly seen on Malaysian roads, and perhaps some of you reading this might even grow up with one. Eventually, the idea of a car-like MPV evolved into crossover SUVs as both the Toyota Wish and Honda Stream saw sales d
Malaysia's D-segment sedan market isn't what one can term as 'rapidly growing' - that's an honour SUVs wear. But for those looking for 'big cars' to impress family members with, the used car market is certainly a compelling place to look. So this is what we'll do today: we'll be comparing the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, and Volkswagen Passat in this edition of our resale value battle. To keep things fair, we only selected models that were updated/introduced for the 2017 model year. Toyota Camry
