BYD Singapore has started accepting test drive bookings for the new 2024 BYD Atto 3. The new 2024 model is more of a running change to update the car’s specifications rather than a mid-lifecycle facelift. Stylistically, the 2024 BYD Atto 3 is unchanged, except for a new Cosmos Black colour. All previously offered colours remain on the palette – Parkour Red, Surf Blue, Forest Green, Boulder Grey, and Ski White. Inside, there’s a larger 15.6-inch rotating infotainment screen, replacing the previou

CKD variant to be a higher range, all-wheel drive EQS 500 4Matic Higher power output – 449 PS vs 333 PS But 107.8 kWh battery is retained, so driving range for more powerful AWD variant will be shorter Barely six months after launching the imported (CBU) Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+, we can now confirm that Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has started local assembly (CKD) of the EQS at its Pekan plant in Pahang. According to the latest production data compiled by the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA), ther

As successful as the Toyota Corolla Cross is, it is admittedly uninteresting from a petrolhead’s perspective. However, Toyota has decided to revamp its image with the help of an alternative fuel source that isn’t electricity. Just as the title mentioned, under the hood of this Corolla Cross H2 Concept is a hydrogen-fuelled combustion engine that powers the GR Corolla H2 at the 2022 Super Taikyu endurance races in Japan. The engine itself is a 1.6-litre 3-cylinder turbo engine with high-pressure

At this point, the Toyota Corolla Cross has etched its name as Malaysia's current de facto SUV. This was the Honda HR-V's perch once before too, but in the face of its own age and newer rivals, it finds itself in quite a tight squeeze. It's up to the all-new model to regain lost footing then, which is set to be introduced here within the second half of this year (H2 2022). We're still months away from launch, so details are obviously scarce, but trusted sources have shared with us that there cou

Great Wall Motors (GWM), the parent company of SUV specialist brand Haval, is now present in Thailand. Great Wall Motors Thailand has taken over the former General Motors plant in Rayong, which used to make the Chevrolet Sonic, Colorado, and Trailblazer. Apart from the Haval H6 SUV, GWM Thailand has also previewed the 2021 Ora Good Cat electric compact hatchback. The purr-fect sounding name is the (literal) English translation of the model's name in China (Haomao) and the kitty theme doesn’t sto

The quirky-but-stylish Toyota C-HR has been quietly dropped from UMW Toyota Motor’s line-up, leaving a vacant spot that will be soon filled by the 2021 Toyota Corolla Cross. The Toyota Corolla Cross, unlike the made-in-Thailand Toyota C-HR, is expected to be locally-assembled (CKD) at UMWT’s manufacturing subsidiary Assembly Services Sdn. Bhd.’s (ASSB) second plant in Bukit Raja. Local assembly should allow UMWT to price the Corolla Cross more competitively against its rivals and hopefully not r
