Hyundai Sime Darby Motors (HSDM) is set to launch the Hyundai Ioniq 6 electric vehicle (EV) in Malaysia. While the official pricing for the Ioniq 6 in Malaysia is yet to be revealed, we can make estimations by considering the percentage differences between the prices of the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 in Korea. Before that, it is worth highlighting that the Ioniq 6 is positioned side-by-side with the Ioniq 5 in the line-up, rather than above or below. Essentially, one's a sedan (Ioniq 6) and the other i

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).
