Chery Malaysia started production of its Proton X90-rivalling Chery Tiggo 8 Pro and Proton X50-rivalling Chery Omoda 5 at the Inokom plant in Kulim earlier last month. Response to the two Chinese SUVs have been surprisingly strong and now, just in its second month of operation, Chery Malaysia says it is ready to ramp up production. “Chery is indeed accelerating the pace of progress in every aspect, striving to meet the demands of the Malaysian market and its users,” said Chery Malaysia KD Plant

The locally-assembled (CKD) Chery Tiggo 8 Pro and Omoda 5 will both be exported from Malaysia beginning 2024, said Leo Chen, Country Director of Chery Malaysia.

Until the first-ever Toyota Corolla Cross arrives next year, the Honda HR-V will likely be sitting rather comfortably on its throne. But will Hyundai fare better? We reckon that the upcoming Hyundai Kona has all the right ingredients to challenge the Honda HR-V at its own game. A quick disclaimer: for the purpose of this review, we were flown to New Zealand to sample the Hyundai Kona. As

Although Proton has yet to confirm when the Proton X50 will be launched, we are pretty certain it will be within the month of October.

Back in January, Proton CEO Dr Li Chunrong have announced that the X50 will be launched this year as a completely-knocked down (CKD) model, straight from Proton's Tanjung Malim plant.
