Volvo Car Malaysia has revised its warranty programme to a factory five-years/unlimited mileage for all privately owned Volvo cars registered from 1 January 2021 onwards. This comes after the announcement of the hybrid battery warranty extension.

** This article is the personal experience of a 2017 Ford Ranger 2.2 XLT T6FL owner and does not necessarily reflect the views of WapCar Facebook: Fu Shun Wong First Encounter My first encounter with a 4x4 was after watching a Camel Trophy Documentary when I was young and from that day onwards, I always told myself that I would one day own one. Fast forward to 2017, I sold my first car (Proton Persona – 5 years of ownership) and bought myself a Ford Ranger 2.2 XLT T6FL of around RM 108k. I initi

Earlier this year, the NPM (National Platform Future of Mobility) predicted 400,000 car industry jobs in Germany could be gone by 2030. The NPM is a research agency funded by the German government. DW reports that the main reason behind this prediction is the rapid transition from internal combustion engines to electromobility, or electrification, accelerated by the EU's 2030 climate targets for the transport sector. Electric cars require 6 times fewer parts. Hence, far fewer workers are needed

I have never considered wanting to own/use a HONDA as I have always known that this brand in this part of the world (Malaysia as we speak) is OVER-RATED and OVER-SENSUALIZED. The money paid is not that worth the value or returns expected as there are better options and packages.
The problem of motorists riding/driving against traffic is not unique to Malaysia, although your Facebook feeds will give you that it’s a growing problem confined only to Malaysia. Yesterday, a 35-year old man in Japan was killed when his Honda N-Box was hit head-on by a Toyota Crown driven by a 78-year old man who was driving against traffic. The incident happened yesterday 6-January, at 12.40 am at the Nishimeihan Expressway in Yamatokōriyama city, in Nara prefecture. The younger driver died o
The actual cost of owning a car is a lot higher than just your monthly instalments, and we’re not talking about insurance or maintenance, itself already a big chunk of a car’s total ownership cost. Beyond maintenance, depreciation is the biggest ‘cost’ for a car owner. However, very few see it that way because it’s not something that you feel until you have to sell your car. It’s like losing money on stocks; it’s paper loss until you actually sell it, which you have to at some point. Remember th
Renault has been named Malaysia Car Subscription Company of the Year at the 2020 Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific Best Practices Awards for its Renault Subscription programme, a year after the programme celebrates its first anniversary.

Arvin Jeya First launched in Malaysia in 2002, the Honda CR-V was priced at RM149,800. Mine is a 2005 unit pre-facelift.

According to the Vehicle Theft Reduction Council of Malaysia’s (VTREC) Industry Vehicle Theft Statistics for Q3 2019, the Proton Wira topped the list, followed by the Proton Iswara and Toyota Hilux. Cheras district police chief ACP Mohamed Mokhsein Mohamed Zon told Bernama that old Malaysian cars are ‘hot items’ among thieves due to their spare parts and ubiquity. Luxury vehicles are also targeted due to their overseas appeal. A total of 132 car theft and 264 motorcycle theft cases were reported

Though the child car seat policy was introduced in January 2020, the Road and Transport Department (JPJ) has yet to fully enforce the use of it in private cars so far. According to a report by Bernama, JPJ is currently just waiting for the green light from the Transport Ministry to do so. As we reported late last year, the child car seat or child restraint system (CRS) rule will start effect in January 2020. But, then Transport Minister, Anthony Loke, directed JPJ to implement an advocacy progra

As drivers, we’ve all complained about the traffic jam in the big city before. But as much as we like to complain about the traffic situation in Malaysia, it really is not as bad as our neighbouring countries and this Traffic Index by City 2020 Mid-Year by Numbeo proves that out of the ASEAN countries, Malaysia's traffic congestion situation ranks fourth! The report covered 81 different countries and focusses on the average time spent in traffic, the amount of carbon dioxide consumed in traffic,
Malaysia remains an attractive destination for foreign investors and reports alleging that Malaysia is losing out in foreign direct investment (FDI) is wrong, says MIDA (Malaysian Investment Development Authority). The MITI agency also adds that references to data from the United Nations Commission on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) must be read in the correct context. On Thursday, Singapore’s Straits Times published a scathing report alleging that Malaysia is losing its attractiveness to foreign

Just when you thought the car industry can get some respite after MITI’s corrective U-turn to allow automotive manufacturing to resume as the whole of Malaysia except for Sarawak goes back into MCO mode, we have been told by our friends working in the manufacturing sector that the much talked about worldwide shortage of semiconductor chips has hit Malaysia, threatening to halt production lines once more. Not all manufacturers are facing the problem yet but we understand that several major local

In between everything that's going on with Kia Malaysia's ownership situation, it seems that at least one unit of the all-new 2021 Kia Sorento has landed in Malaysia. However, it might be a bit too early to expect its launch here anytime soon. You see, this MQ4-generation Sorento that was spotted in Shah Alam is actually a left-hand drive (LHD) unit. That in itself is a clue - Kia Motors Corporation has a regional training centre (for Asia Pacific) here in Malaysia, and this is very likely a tra
