Base model acceptance is quite an odd thing. On one end, 50k of them like them enough to form a quirky Facebook group. Further down the gamut you have the hardcore kaki kecam who are frothing to give you an earful (eyeful?) if you so much as so dare to choose a lower-end German car. Perhaps no model's a touchier subject than the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, really. 2023 Mercedes-Benz A200 (V177) Price RM 229,888 Segment Subcompact Exec.

The all-new 2022 Hyundai Palisade has been tipped to launch in Malaysia since last year, but plans have been postponed due to the lockdown. Now the car has finally arrived on our shores with the driver’s seat on the right side. Pun intended. Back in May, Hyundai’s largest SUV was spotted in a parking lot in Malaysia. However, the particular car was a left-hand-drive unit, dashing hopes that Hyundai Sime Darby Malaysia (HSDM) will be launching the car then. But this time, the driver’s seat can cl

Previously, we discussed the best used SUVs you can buy within a budget of RM 80k, which came following the news that the bulk of used car buyers shop below RM 80k. This time, we’ll look into used sedans for under RM 80k. Like in the previous article, we’ve disqualified cars that are either too old (above 10 years, as most used car bank loans must be settled before the car turns 13) or of “premium” stature. On top of those, we’ve also tried to diversify the segments and brands as much as we can,

The all-new 2021 Honda HR-V's interior has been the topic of conversation ever since the model launched because it - just like the equally-new 2022 Honda Civic's - is miles simpler compared to its predecessor. But these tweaks are beyond skin deep, as Honda Europe shows us. New Air Diffusion System Much like the 11th-generation Civic, the HR-V's biggest interior change is the 'one-piece' air-cond vent that runs across the dashboard, bookended by two inverse L-shaped vents at both ends. The snazz

Less 2 months after the launch of the 2020 Toyota RAV4, UMW Toyota (UMWT) has discontinued sales of the 2.0-litre variant. Though there is no official announcement, but UMWT has confirmed that they will no longer be selling the lower-spec variant. The decision to discontinue the variant is due to low supply for the 2.0-litre engine. A spokesperson for UMWT said “Due to production supply issue, we would not be able to accept any order for 2.0L variant starting from August 2020”. Separately, we al

The Honda Jazz 1.5L CVT is powered by the Earth Dreams Technology 4-cylinder engine, which uses in-cylinder direct injection technology with a compression ratio of 11.5:1. Its maximum output is 118 hp / 6600 rpm and the maximum torque is 155 Nm / 4600 rpm. Honda Jazz's sitting posture is very low, and the seat is also very good. It is undoubtedly good news for driving enthusiasts. Despite this, the view inside the car is still very good, the windshield with large dip angle and the triangular win
