Chery seems to be on the tip of Malaysians’ consciousness as it has achieved an impressive new record in the country. Within a mere 10 days, the Chinese carmaker witnessed an extraordinary sales performance and surpassed expectations with 3,000 units sold. Chery made its official return to Malaysia with two models being launched – the Chery Omoda 5 and Chery Tiggo 8 Pro on 6-July. Both SUVs are locally assembled (CKD) at the Inokom plant in Kulim, Kedah with an impressive 10-year/1 million km en

At Proton’s opening of their new engine assembly line in Tanjung Malim earlier this week, it’s made clear that only the direct-injected 1.5-litre three-cylinder mill (TGDi) is assembled here, while the multi-point injection (MPI) variant is imported from China. Speaking at the press conference, Muhammad Hasbullah, Deputy Chief Operating Officer of Powertrains, said that while “the plant is designed to produce a few more variants of the [1.5-litre three-cylinder engine], at the moment the focus i

Not many can say they've seen the 2022 Proton X90 in Malaysia yet. But it's something truly rare to hear of anyone rear-ending one, considering the model hasn't even been launched yet. @dddyha Tak tau nak gelak ke sedih 😅 #keretabaru #newcar #accident ♬ Oh No - Kreepa Video from the scene affords a rather close look at the Geely Haoyue-based SUV, which culminates in a short look at the incident.

Geely Philippines continues its momentum in May 2021 as the brand maintained its number 9 ranking in total industry sales in the Philippines. Some of the credit for this position is due not only to the Geely Coolray (Proton X50) but also the Geely Okavango (Proton X90?). According to a report by the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines (CAMPI) and the Association of Vehicle Importers and Distributors Inc. (AVID), Geely Philippines achieved year-to-date sales of 1,987 units. The

Set to be Proton’s largest model when it goes on sale in Malaysia in 2022, the upcoming Geely Haoyue-based ‘Proton X90’ could be yet another homerun. Too bad for those hoping for the Geely Jiaji-based MPV, as the SUV-esque Geely Haoyue makes better sense in this region.

Following our earlier report of the all-new 2021 Kia Grand Carnival heading to Indonesia, we have also learnt that it'll be joined by the all-new 2021 Kia Sorento as well. Information found on the archipelago's Samsat database (think our Road Transport Department, JPJ) points towards the SUV being powered by a 2.2-litre diesel engine (202 PS / 404 Nm) paired to a new 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT). Indonesia is the second country to receive the fourth-generation Sorento in the
