Proton has just posted its best sales performance since 2013 with 141,432 units sold in 2022. This makes it the fourth consecutive year that Malaysia’s first carmaker saw sales growth. However, despite the pair of Proton SUVs getting all the attention, the best-selling Proton car is a lot humbler and basic. 55,878 units of the Saga were sold in 2022 and the total figure includes both domestic and export numbers. This was an increase of 31.1% over the previous year and yet, it only achieved secon

Not confirmed by either PDRM or Perodua Could be just a proposal for evaluation rather than active duty cars Tell-tale signs include older model, and non-PDRM standard white colour The roads up Ulu Yam to Genting has its own mysteries – what's hiding behind the trees at night? – and apparently one more mystery to add to that are these supposed Perodua Myvi police cars. SM Offroad and Outdoor Equipment (SMOE), in their Facebook post, alleges that these cars are contributed by Perodua for their co

Malaysians said goodbye to these 12 models in 2021 Some were discontinued due to poor sales, others due to age Which will you miss fondly? Once again, the big blue planet that we currently reside on has made its full orbit around the sun and the year 2020 v2.0 2021 ends. While some might remain optimistic that 2022 might be better with a huge array of upcoming models, we’d like to dedicate this article to the cars that won’t make it into the new year. Some of these models were revered by their o

It felt like it was yesterday when I was attending the GK5-generation Honda Jazz’s launch and its subsequent media drive, but truth is it has been slightly over six years since the model was introduced in Malaysia.

Fun fact: The Toyota Yaris shares the same engine as the Perodua Myvi 1.5L. In fact, both engines are made at the same Daihatsu Perodua Engine Manufacturing plant in Sendayan. Yes, the engines have different engine codes – 2NR-FE for the Toyota Yaris and 2NR-VE for the Perodua Myvi – but they are essentially the same aluminum block engines with slightly different tuning.
