After ending the first half of 2023 with healthy order banks for both Perodua and Toyota, the UMW Group is upbeat about its associate companies meeting their respective 2023 targets – 314,000 units for Perodua and 93,000 units for Toyota. Toyota ended the first half of 2023 with 48,659 units registered, up 6 percent from the same 6-month period last year. Toyota and Lexus ended the month of June with 8,004 units registered, up 8 percent from May. The Toyota Vios, Corolla Cross, and Hilux are the

Since its launch in December 2018, the Proton X70 has been the No.1 selling C-segment SUV in Malaysia. However as of January 2023, it no longer holds the leading position. The new sales leader is the Toyota Corolla Cross. As of June 2023, cumulative sales of the Proton X70 stood at 6,116 units and Proton’s own press release lists the X70 as “2nd highest volume C-segment SUV” in Malaysia. UMW Toyota Motor doesn’t publish the breakdown of its sales by model but checks with the publicly available M

A little over a month ago, Hyundai Sime Darby Motors (HSDM) unveiled the facelifted 2021 Hyundai Kona. At the tail end of the reveal, we were shown a glimpse of the hotter Kona N Line - confirming the variant's introduction here. Now, the teaser has been reuploaded on the company's Facebook page and beyond quick glances of its exterior, the 15-second clip doesn't give much away. Its exact launch date is still pretty much a mystery, but checks with a dealer reveals that the Kona N Line will be la

The launch of the all-new 2020 Hyundai Kona has been a long time coming. Hyundai Sime Darby Motors (HSDM) first previewed the pending arrival of the car at 2018, but since then news about the car has gone quiet until back in August 2020 when 2 units were spotted on the roads with trade plates on. We’ve already let slip a few details, but what else do you need to know? Q: Is it imported or locally assembled? A: The 2020 Hyundai Kona will be fully imported (CBU) from Hyundai’s Ulsan plant in Korea

Ever since its launch in July, the Toyota Corolla Cross has been making some waves around South East Asia. While we wait for the crossover's imminent arrival here, it has scored a 5-star rating. The Corolla Cross's overall score of 88.61 points means that it even scores higher than the Proton X50 which has a score of 84.26 points! The reason for this could be seen in the frontal impact test results. The Corolla Cross offers better protection for the front occupants than the X50 according to the

Although Proton has yet to confirm when the Proton X50 will be launched, we are pretty certain it will be within the month of October. Some sources have even provided us with a very specific date – October 15. The October timeline is easy to understand because Proton desperately needs the X50 to close the gap in its annual sales target (MCO not helping). As of June 2020, Proton’s cumulative sales stood at 37,078 units versus Perodua’s 74,170 units. Once past October, Proton will have less than 2
