The current G05 generation BMW X5 is struggling to repeat the success of its F15 generation predecessor, due to its significantly higher starting price and stronger competition from the Lexus RX. The all-new fifth generation Lexus RX was launched in Malaysia in May 2023 and since then, sales of the BMW X5 have dropped by nearly 70%. Sales of the BMW X5 nameplate peaked in 2017, with 3,133 units of the F15 generation sold that year. In comparison, the G05 generation model, launched in June 2020,

British cars don’t exactly come with a stellar reputation for reliability and it’s mostly at the expense of Land Rover. As the joke goes, they say 90 % of all Land Rovers manufactured are still on the road. The other 10% have actually reached their destination. It wasn’t all fun and games on 11 October 2023 though as a Land Rover caught fire at the Luton airport carpark, sparking a raging inferno that engulfed the entire building, causing it to collapse. The collapse destroyed up to 1,500 cars a

It's no secret that SUVs are the flavour of the moment. Almost every carmaker has jumped on to the bandwagon - not just Aston Martin but also Lamborghini, Bentley and Rolls-Royce (and people used to laugh at the Porsche Cayenne). The luxury performance SUV segment is no exception, as you can see with this RM818,000 Aston Martin DBX (before options, taxes and OTR costs). It's hardly the first in this genre of super SUVs, but does it really matter? Taut, handsome and dripping with British sophisti

If you’re looking for an SUV within the range of RM 350k, the BMW X3, Volvo XC60 and Mercedes-Benz GLC will likely appear in your radar. To help with your decision between these three mid-size luxury SUVs, here’s a quick specs comparison. Performance In terms of performance output, the Volvo XC60 T8 eclipses the rest with its hybrid powertrain. It makes 407 PS and a tarmac-ripping 640 Nm of torque. We’ve tested its 0-100 km/h time to be 5.6 seconds, which is ludicrous for a comfort-biased SUV. I

The Lexus RX 300 was given a facelift last year and the 200t moniker has been dropped in favour of 300, but the powertrain remains unchanged. All three variants of the RX 300 (Premium, Luxury, and F-Sport) are propelled by a 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that makes 238 PS and 350 Nm of torque. Power is channeled to all four wheels via a 6-speed automatic. The one we have here is the F-Sport variant, priced at RM 424,187 (without SST). What are its pros and cons? Like all Lexus models,

Previously, we’ve talked about why premium brands like Volvo and BMW use 3-cylinder engines in their cars. Now, Jaguar Land Rover has joined the gang by introducing a new plug-in hybrid powertrain with a 1.5-litre turbocharged 3-cylinder engine. The 1.5-litre turbocharged 3-cylinder engine is the smallest in the Ingenium range, it sends 200 PS/280 Nm to the front wheels through a new 8-speed automatic transmission. Similar to Volvo’s T8 system, the electric motor mounted on the rear axle powers
