Malaysia is getting ready to welcome the all-new, third-generation 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan. Earlier this year in May, Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) dropped a major hint: they’re bringing in a new SUV to fill the gap between the VW Touareg, which sits at RM 470k, and the Tiguan Allspace R-Line at RM 258k. For those doing the math, that leaves quite a bit of financial wiggle room for something special in between. And now, it seems like that “something” is the 2024 Tiguan. VPCM’s Managin

As you know, Hyundai Sime Darby Motors (HSDM) recently introduced the new 2021 Hyundai Kona facelift on our shores. Now there are only 2 variants to pick with prices ranging from RM 119,888 for the Standard to RM 136,888 for the Active. So, how much should your monthly income be before you can apply for a loan? Note that the prices we are using to calculate this monthly instalment feature are the price stated on Hyundai Malaysia’s official website. The final price you will have to fork out usual

Previously in our year-end review of sorts, we have taken a look at the most important car launches but in this article, we'll focus on the models that have been discontinued in 2020.

Without further distractions, let’s pour out a little motor oil for these fallen models that were killed off in 2020. BMW 1 Series CKD If you ever wanted a brand-new BMW for under RM 200k, your only option would

This handsome multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) that you see here is the Geely Jiaji, a model that could potentially be a replacement to the ageing Proton Exora - not in terms of product positioning, but rather a spiritual replacement. What is the Geely Jiaji? Introduced in March 2019, the Geely Jiaji is a brand-new MPV. We sampled one during our visit to Guangzhou some time last year and found it to be a rather compelling upgrade to the ageing Proton Exora. Is the Proton V70 name confirmed? Proton tr

The Hyundai Kona is a new B-segment SUV that will soon make its debut in Malaysia. A facelifted version of the Kona has been unveiled but we will most likely get the pre-facelift version starting at RM115,000 and powered by a 1.6-litre T-GDI Smartstream turbocharged engine (177 PS / 265 Nm). The pre-facelift version has been spotted on our roads last month. Looking sleeker without the “nostrils”, the facelifted Kona has also moved the location of the badge away from the grill. The “N Line” varia

The full specs of the Malaysian-spec Hyundai Kona have leaked out, giving us a good idea of what Hyundai Sime-Darby Motors has prepared for its upcoming B-segment SUV. For starters, HSDM will offer three variants of the Kona, namely 2.0 Standard, 2.0 Mid, and 1.6 T-GDI High. As the names suggest, two powertrains will be offered. The first is a 2.0-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine that does 150 PS and 180 Nm, mated to a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission. The second is a spici
