Back in March, we bought a brand-new 2021 Perodua Ativa. After three months and roughly 6,000 km on the odometer, here’s a brief run-down of what we think of our Ativa. Here’s what my fellow colleague, Adrian, has to say about the Ativa. Right off the bat, Adrian noted that he likes the Ativa’s build quality, the ride and handling, the responsive powertrain, and its ADAS suite. But all’s not perfect, as Adrian pointed out that braking performance could’ve been better. The Ativa’s fuel consumptio

Ever since it published its first report in 2013, the ASEAN NCAP has been the voice of road safety in the South East Asian region. The number of cars that get the maximum 5-star rating is quite impressive.

The wait is over - Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) has released the specifications for the all-new 2020 Nissan Almera, and all you need to know about it is right here! Powertrain and handling Three variants will be available off the bat - VL, VLP, VLT - and all will be powered by a three-cylinder, 1.0-litre turbocharged engine paired to a CVT, good for 100 PS and 152 Nm.
