toyota wish review malaysia

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

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

Tidak dinafikan, zaman kegemilangan MPV mula merudum tetapi ia masih belum berakhir. Akibat daripada kemuncak zaman emas MPV tersebut, beberapa MPV masih mempunyai penangan yang hebat sehinggalah ke hari ini. Antaranya, Toyota Wish! Dibangunkan sejak 20 tahun yang lalu, Toyota Wish mencapai kesempurnaan pada generasi kedua yang dilancarkan pada tahun 2009 di Jepun. Walaupun generasi ini tidak dibawa masuk secara rasmi, Toyota Wish tetap ligat berkeliaran di jalan raya Malaysia. Kini 12 tahun sel

20年前，当MPV还十分流行时，Honda不失时机地推出了Stream。在3年后的2003年，Toyota也推出了一款同级市场的竞争者——Wish。 对于那些想要一辆姿态更运动的MPV的家庭来说，这两款MPV都是很不错的选择。曾几何时，它们是马来西亚路上常见的一道风景，或许正在阅读这篇文章的你，就是从小跟着这辆车长大的。 最终，这个轿车型MPV的概念被跨界SUV所替代，而Toyota Wish和Honda Stream两者的销量都开始下降，并最终结束了其14年的历史。那么，这两款曾经大卖的MPV到底发生了什么呢？ Honda Stream：一款7人座的Civic Honda Stream于2000年在日本首发，定位为运动型7人座车型。它在很大程度上是基于第七代的Honda Civic开发的，只不过为了放下第三排座椅，车身被拉长了。 第一代的Stream定位在Odyssey之下，它有着十分独特的造型，就像是发福了的Civic（或是超重了的Civic“面包车”）。 这款车于2001年引进大马市场，从印尼进行整车进口。大马规格的Stream有两具引擎可选，分别为一具1.7升的D17 VTEC

Toyota Corolla Cross The 2021 Toyota Corolla Cross is now finally launched in Malaysia and we had a brief session with it, bringing you a first drive review of Toyota’s latest SUV. No matter how much “enthusiasts” complain about SUVs, consumers just cannot get enough of tall-riding, big cars, and I am completely on the consumer's side. SUVs are practical, offer great outward visibility and generous ground clearance (especially for our roads). For a sensible family man like myself, what is there

The eighth-generation Toyota Camry 2.5V raised a lot of eyebrows. It is the most expensive Toyota Camry ever sold in Malaysia priced at RM 196,888 (OTR without insurance). Under the sharp "keen Look" exterior, lies Toyota's latest TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture) platform that adopts double-wishbone rear suspension, low centre of gravity and dynamic handling characteristic. Like most new-generation Toyotas, the athleticism of the Toyota Camry is more akin to a BMW rather than a traditional

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

Toyota Corolla Cross We had a first drive review in the all-new 2021 Toyota Corolla Cross in Malaysia, and this is what we think of Toyota’s latest SUV.

Toyota is on a roll with introducing new models lately (the Yaris Cross and Harrier are just two examples). Alongside the 2021 Toyota Venza, Toyota has also unveiled the all-new, fourth-generation Sienna. Like earlier-generation Sienna models, the all-new, fourth-generation Sienna is developed and built in the US. The US-made 2021 Toyota Sienna is built on the TNGA-K platform, similar to the eighth-generation Camry. That said, unlike the Camry’s range of petrol and hybrid powertrains, the 2021 S

The latest 8th-generation 2021 Hyundai Sonata 2.5 aspires to capture buyers who are looking at the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. Being a fully imported (CBU) model, the Sonata loses out on the price factor with a hefty price tag of RM 206,888 (OTR without insurance & SST). No powerful turbocharged engine nor ADAS in this all-new Sonata but there are some interesting features that may appeal to buyers. As mentioned in the video, the Sonata is going to sell for its novelty. Quirky features like t

It's a good time to be fans of cheeky taglines, as UMW Toyota Motor's campaign to promote the imminent-in-Malaysia Toyota Corolla Cross has been taking potshots at Honda Malaysia's 'Your Time is Up' effort. But, as they always say, talk is cheap. Does the Corolla Cross have enough in its arsenal to back up its shoutiness?

Before we go any further, we need to establish two things. First, the all-new fifth generation 2020 Honda City RS e:HEV hybrid (GN series) is yet to be launched in Malaysia. Second, prices have not been announced. However, we were given an early preview drive in the all-new 2020 City, in its range topping RS guise, on the condition that we don't mention anything about City's interior – that will have to wait until the car is launched.

Perodua is expected to introduce a crossover version of the Myvi soon, ala Perodua Axia Style. Expect the forthcoming taller riding Perodua Myvi to feature faux SUV-style side claddings, sharing the same ‘Style’ moniker. The idea of a Perodua Myvi crossover is not new. Back in 2006, two years after the first generation Daihatsu Boon/Toyota Passo twins were introduced in Japan and one year after a lightly re-designed Boon/Passo became the Perodua Myvi, Daihatsu had introduced the D-Compact X-over

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

Toyota RAV4 After much speculation, teasers, and leaks, the 2020 Toyota RAV4 has landed on our shores directly from Japan (CBU). The Toyota RAV4 nameplate is one of the most recognizable names in Toyota's line-up, having pioneered the first compact crossover SUV segment worldwide in 1994. Now on its fifth-generation, the Toyota RAV4 faces off serious competition from many other manufacturers in the trending SUV market.

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

Toyota Corolla Altis | Gallery The Corolla is Toyota's most storied nameplate. So steeped is its heritage that by the late ‘90s, the Corolla name had become too successful for its own good. The name had become a drag because younger buyers associated the name too much with their father's car. Thus explains the introduction of the "Altis" suffix. Irrespective of what it's called, the Corolla (Altis) has always stood for quality, dependability, and reliability. Toyota folks like to call it QDR. Ra

Owners of the Toyota Hilux who feel their pick-up truck is a little too humdrum can now look towards Modellista's latest kit - which is now available in Malaysia! The multi-piece kit is relatively simple - up front, the touches include a set of fog lamp garnishes, a front spoiler, and a grille garnish. Along the sides, it's beefed-up by a set of gloss-black overfenders, new wheels, and striping. The back looks pretty untouched, and like most other Modellista kit, no performance modifications wer

The 2020 Toyota RAV4 had finally made it to Malaysia back in June. Despite its hefty price, we think that the fifth-generation's rugged look matches its friendly soft-roader capabilities. However, if you think it’s not rugged enough, there are aero kits available courtesy of Toyota’s customising arm, Modellista. According to Wing Hin Motorsports on their Facebook page, you can check out this Modellista RAV4 at their Toyota 4S showroom in Balakong, Selangor. The Modellista kit adds a front spoile

Sebuah SUV yang disamarkan ditemui dipandu di Malaysia dan berdasarkan pemerhatian kami pada rupa parasnya, ia tak lain tak bukan Toyota Corolla Cross 2020! Apabila Corolla Cross membuat debutnya pada awal bulan Julai, kami juga menjangkakan yang SUV ini akan sampai di Malaysia sebagai unit dipasang tempatan (CKD) hujung tahun ini atau awal 2021. Nampaknya jangkaan kami tepat kerana kereta ini telahpun dipandu-uji di jalanraya kita. Menurut rakan kami di Careta, lokasi penampakan SUV ini kurang

At the moment, Lexus only has one minivan model, the Toyota Alphard/Vellfire-based Lexus LM.

All it took was 7 minutes and a group of Malaysians to lift a Toyota Wish that double parked and blocked a Perodua Myvi from coming out of its parking space. From the video, it appears that the Myvi driver got the attention of one passerby, who later got more help from other passersby. Amazingly, the group of men found lifts to lift the Toyota Wish and repositioned the MPV, allowing the Myvi to exit. Watch the full video here.

All along, we've been pestering the showroom to expedite the delivery, and we're very happy that it's finally here. What did we order?

The C-segment SUV market is surely one of the most competitive in Malaysia. With almost every major carmaker offering one, it’s not hard to see why these are gaining popularity among Malaysians. They are spacious and practical for a growing family, with some even offering 7 seats. Plus, with a higher driving position, it’s probably an ideal vehicle for those who wish to command more presence on the road. But while practicality and size are determining factors in getting a C-segment SUV, another
