With 2024 ushering in, Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) has introduced a special edition of the Nissan Almera in Malaysia. Called the Almera Kuro (Black) Edition, the underappreciated B-segment sedan comes with factory-fitted styling enhancements. Under the Kuro Package which costs RM 8,000, these styling upgrades include gloss black front grille cladding, gloss black alloy wheels, gloss black Tomei aerokit, sports pedals, and ice-cool tinting film. A gloss black boot lid spoiler is available for t

On the surface, the new 2022 Proton Persona and Proton Iriz may seem like it’s more of the same. At a glance, both 2022 models are still more or less the same 7-year old Proton Iriz and 5-year old Persona that you know since 2014 and 2016 respectively.

It has been 35 years since the debut of the Proton Saga to the world. It was Proton’s first car and the name still stands today. Back in November 2020, an image of a stitched “R3 limited edition” logo was leaked hinting it a possible R3 car – either the Proton Iriz R3 or the Proton Saga R3. In celebration of 35 years of the Proton Saga, there was a limited run of the Proton Saga Anniversary Edition. The response was overwhelming as all 1,100 units of the car were sold out in 5 days. The Proton S

There is a good reason why the Perodua Myvi is Malaysia’s best-selling car, as no other segment rivals can beat its value-for-money proposition.
