Four years has passed since the V177/W177 (code for sedan and hatchback, respectively) Mercedes-Benz A-Class first entered markets globally; and this week marked the facelifted model's entry into Malaysia. It's fair if you didn't catch the changes right away - they're as subtle as can be on the outside; anything but mechanically. With prices now starting from RM 238,300 for the A200 and an estimated RM 264,000 for the A250, both locally-assembled sedans (CKD Pekan) see a circa RM 3,000 and RM 4,

As we welcome the Mercedes AMG A45 S and AMG A35 to our shores, it is a good time to have an overall look of the range of Mercedes-Benz’s C-segment hatchback available in Malaysia. We currently have 4 variants available for the A-Class; two with the AMG badge and two without. The AMG models come with the Mercedes-Benz 4Matic all-wheel-drive system while non-AMG models come standard as front-wheel-drive. All A-Class models are turbocharged, albeit with varying engine displacements and varying pow

The B-segment hatch market is the most popular market in the Asian region, so it is not a surprise that there are plenty of options for the picking. Out of all the options, the Honda Jazz and the Toyota Yaris reigns supreme, with only the Mazda 2 being close to holding a candle next to these two. Disclaimer: The Perodua Myvi don’t count.

You’re probably familiar with the name John Cooper thanks to the aggressive MINIs that has rolled off the line and onto our roads. But do you know who John Cooper really is and why his name is synonymous with MINI’s fastest and most aggressive cars? John Newton Cooper was born in 1923 in Kingston, Surrey.
