With the next-gen Ford Ranger and Everest almost upon us, Ford Motor Company today unveiled a massive modernization initiative for its Thailand plant’s manufacturing operations to support production of the aforementioned pick-up and SUV. The move is part of the Ford+ plan for growth and consumed USD 900 million (~RM 3.8 billion); making it the carmaker’s largest-ever single investment in Thailand and brings its total outlay in Thailand to USD 3.4 billion (~RM 14.4 billion) over 25 years.

What do you do if you own a Ford Everest but want yours to stand out from the rest? Perhaps you can completely change the look of your car to mimic the iconic Ford F-150 Raptor, just as Thailand’s TTN Hypersport did. The Ford Everest is based on the platform as the Ford Ranger pickup, just as the Toyota Fortuner is to the Toyota Hilux. It’s a bit hard to spot the Everest in Malaysia because its rather pricey. For example, the base Everest starts at RM 228,888, while the range-topper sells for RM

Sime Darby Auto ConneXion (SDAC), the sole distributor for Ford in Malaysia, continues to enhance its customer enhance services in providing an additional test drive option through its Home or Office Delivery Test Drive for its vehicles.

This service is available within a 10km radius of the customers chosen dealership.

Alongside the new BYD Seal Dynamic, Sime Darby Beyond Auto also rolled out the 2024 BYD Atto 3 Extended Range, taking over the spot of the sole Standard Range variant, and all for the same RM149,800 price tag. So, what’s “enhanced” about this new Atto 3? Let’s break it down. First off, you’re getting a bump in range: 480 km NEDC compared to the previous 410 km, thanks to a larger 60.48 kWh battery (up from 49.92 kWh). You’ll still get that 7 kW single-phase AC charging, while DC charging is rate

At the ongoing Sime Darby Automania 2024 at Bukit Jalil National Stadium, Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors, the exclusive local distributor of Hyundai vehicles publicly previewed the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N performance battery electric vehicle (BEV) for the first time in Malaysia. No prices or launch dates were announced, but the Ioniq 5 N will eventually be officially introduced in Malaysia. Unlike the unit previewed at the Singapore Motor Show earlier this year, the Ioniq 5 N showcased in Malaysia is a rig

The entry-variant BYD Seal, the Dynamic Standard Range, has been launched in Malaysia, priced at RM 163,800. Fully imported (CBU) from China, the new variant gives a more wallet-friendly option, but don’t go thinking “entry-level” means it skimps on the good stuff. Sure, it’s the least powerful of the bunch, but the Dynamic Standard Range still packs a decent punch. Under the bonnet – or rather, the rear axle – it’s got the same 204 PS motor you’ll find in the BYD Atto 3 Extended Range and Dolph

BYD will be launching a new brand in Malaysia by Q1 2025, confirmed Eagle Zhao, Managing Director of BYD Malaysia, during the launch of the BYD Seal Dynamic variant this morning.

Of the three, only Denza offers right-hand drive models. While Zhao didn't mention which Denza model will be launched in Malaysia, it's not a difficult guess

When it comes to making a Porsche that's truly one's own, then few do it better than the manufacturer's own Sonderwunsch. Though in English it translates to a rather undramatic 'Special Requests', they're the people responsible for hyper-personalised vehicles; whether its one-offs, a series of racecar homages, or even bringing a movie character to life. For the newly-launched 2025 Porsche Taycan, this is the result of a very specific vision – the Taycan Turbo S Celestial Jade. Developed together

The new 2024 Toyota Camry (XV80) was recently launched in Singapore, making it the first market in the ASEAN region to receive the snazzy D-Segment sedan. If you thought cars were expensive in Malaysia, note the sole Elegance Hybrid (HEV) variant priced at SGD 246,888 (~RM 821k) inclusive of COE, which is roughly what you would pay for a BMW M4 in Malaysia.

House Stuttgart's first strike at making a production battery electric vehicle couldn't have been any better.

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class has so much tech stuffed into it, you’d think it was preparing for a mission to Mars. But before you go all “back in my day” on it, let’s be real – this is the kind of car that makes your daily commute feel more like a spa day than a slog through rush-hour purgatory. And that’s no bad thing. Still not convinced? Well, let Greg show you the light. He’s taken the latest generation for a spin through Austria, where the roads are scenic, the skies are blue, and the tec
