Besides Toyota and Daihatsu, another important brand that contributes to Indonesia’s booming automotive industry is Honda which has been exporting locally-assembled (CKD) models overseas since 1992. The all-new 2022 Honda BR-V is spearheading PT Honda Prospect Motor’s (HPM) ambitions with 69 units bound on a boat for the Caribbean. Aside from exporting to markets around Southeast Asia, the Indo-built BR-V will be exported to around 30 countries around the world. The latest markets to receive the

The 7-seater / MPV segment in Malaysia hasn’t seen much action over the past couple of years. The Proton Exora and Perodua Alza are the longest-serving models here (and still are), while models like Nissan Grand Livina and Proton Ertiga have came and gone without a respective replacement model.

Depending on who you ask, the soon-to-be-launched Perodua Ativa (D55L) is either an A-segment car or B-segment car. So which is the correct answer? More importantly, what is this A / B / C segment thing? The answer from us is simple, but others might / can disagree: The Perodua Ativa (D55L) is a (lower) B-segment SUV. And yes, you can loosely group the Ativa together with the (upper) B-segment Proton X50, keyword 'loosely.' Both the X50 and Ativa are not direct rivals but remember that the loose
