Chery Australia has initiated a program to adjust the advanced driver assist systems (ADAS) of its vehicles, focusing particularly on the Omoda 5 which stirred safety concerns upon its release last year, reports auto news portal Go Auto. This comes after the initial ADAS settings on early Omoda 5 models received criticism for being overly aggressive, with features like lane-keep assist forcefully correcting steering even when drivers made deliberate maneuvers to avoid obstacles. Additionally, th

The Chery Omoda 5 GT has set into the ASEAN region after its Indonesian launch. It's claim to fame is that it's the most powerful of the (petrol) model range, and also available in all-wheel drive (AWD) configuration.

After its regional debut in Indonesia, Hyundai Motor Thailand is next to launch the Hyundai Creta. Imported (CBU) from Indonesia, the 5-seater SUV has a starting price of THB 949,000, about RM 119,919. Despite having a rather powertrain – a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that makes 115 PS / 144 Nm, paired to a CVT (Hyundai calls it IVT) driving the front wheels - the Hyundai Creta is only a negligible 3 percent cheaper than the hybrid-only 2022 Honda HR-V (from THB 979,000, about RM

When it was launched in Malaysia, the furore surrounding the XU80 Toyota Harrier 2.0 Luxury were mutterings of "NO TURBO, BLASPHEMY!" Not only did it eschew the turbo power unit, at RM 249,706 (valid until 30-June 2022) it is also more expensive than the XU60 model that it replaces - the Premium variant at least (RM 238,000, while the Luxury variant retailed at RM 259,900).
