Fully imported (CBU) from Japan, UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) launched both the all-new Toyota Alphard and Toyota Vellfire back in October.

So, it seems that the Toyota Passo’s chapter isn’t completely over if this Japanese scoop is to be believed. While it is curtains for the third-generation Passo, its twin, the Daihatsu Boon is still being offered and Daihatsu has not yet announced an end to its production.

The previous E350 AMG Line has been dropped, and if you go further back, we also had the E350e plug-in hybrid too, which at its peak in 2017 and 2018, was offered in two trim levels – Exclusive Line a

The Honda HR-V became a surprise success in Malaysia when it debuted in 2015 when the B-segment SUV market was fairly new. However, the SUV is beginning to show its age and is due for a replacement. While waiting for the all-new HR-V to make its debut, we came across yet another spyshot of the next-gen crossover online.
