The budget MPV market in Malaysia may be dominated by Perodua Alza but over in Vietnam, things are a little different. Like many parts of Southeast Asia, Vietnam is a country dominated by Toyota. The Toyota Vios is Vietnam’s No.1 selling car (23,529 units in 2022) but it’s a position that it barely held on to.

498-litres of bootspace is the number that equalises the just-launched-in-Malaysia 2022 Perodua Alza and upcoming 2022 Toyota Veloz. However, don't pin them as mere carbon copies, and that's what Toyota wants to say in their latest bare-it-all teasers. Beyond a familiar, blocky profile, the Veloz seperates itself from the Alza with a different look everywhere else.

What could be the all-new 2021 Honda HR-V was spotted testing last week and today, we have more to share. There's a lot of changes, and they're not subtle. The front is completely redesigned with a larger grille and sharper headlights featuring LED daytime running lights (DRLs). It looks bigger than your average B-segment SUV, but its sloping roofline reminds one of the HR-V. The most apparent changes are round the back. There's sharper, slimmer LED rear lamps, and the rear windscreen is swoopie
