2023 Renault Zoe R135 Engine Specs

With a wave of affordably priced Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) launching in Malaysia, all eyes are certainly on the dreamers and the big-eyed felines. However, there is one pioneer from an established marque that was given an update not so long ago that many people have somehow overlooked – the 2023 Renault Zoe. Indeed, the Renault Zoe along with the Nissan Leaf are among the first mass-produced EVs from a mainstream carmaker. While the Leaf received a second generation in 2017 and an update w

TC Euro Cars (TCEC) has launched the new 2023 Renault Zoe. Prices of the fully electric B-segment hatchback start from RM 165,000 for the entry R110 variant, and RM 179,000 for the more powerful R135 variant. Both variants are powered by the same 52 kWh battery, but with different motor output. The battery pack is still air-cooled, as before, but the first generation Zoe has proven that the simple cooling system holds up well even in our hot and humid climate.

Renault Group CEO Luca de Meo does not see a near future where prices of battery EV (BEVs) models can come down low enough to match combustion engine models. “I do not see this parity getting close,” said de Meo at the opening of the Paris Auto Show earlier this month. De Meo said that 8 years ago, EV analysts were predicting that battery prices will come down within the next 5 years and will soon reach price parity with combustion engine models, but clearly none of that has happened. In fact, p

Renault Group, Nissan Motor and Mitsubishi Motors; members of one of the world’s leading automotive alliances, have announced a common roadmap that’ll shape their directions with more cooperation towards 2030.

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. Zhao later clarified that the new brand will be Denza. Apart from its namesake BYD-badged cars, BYD’s portfolio of brands include Denza, Yangwang, and Formula Bao. 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
