Honda EX5 memang model yang tidak asing bagi pengguna motosikal tempatan. Malah tidak keterlaluan untuk menyatakan model legenda ini sebagai 'Raja kapcai' di negara ini. Berdasarkan statistik, sudah lebih daripada 2 juta Honda EX5 berjaya dijual sejak pengenalannya lebih 30 tahun yang lalu dan varian terbarunya masih berada di pasaran. Jadi, mudah untuk menyatakan ia masih dapat menambat hati pengguna sekali pun usianya sudah 'tua'. Bagi Boon Siew Honda (BSH), resipi mereka untuk jentera ini mud

The 2020 Honda Civic has two engine options – a 1.8-litre naturally aspirated (NA) engine and a 1.5-litre turbocharged unit. Now, should you pay more to get the turbocharged Honda Civic or go for the cheaper Honda Civic 1.8 S? The answer is - as is often the case – it depends. Do you really need the extra power? If your daily commute involves minimal highway driving and it’s mostly driven around town, then really, the less powerful 1.8-litre NA engine will suffice. The simple i-VTEC SOHC is a we

Motosikal 'mini' mungkin tidak begitu mendapat sambutan di Malaysia namun peminatnya tetap ada dan antara yang paling menyerlah dan unik pastinya Honda Monkey. Jika berpandukan kepada laman web jual beli di negara ini, tiada model baharu Honda Monkey berada dipasaran namun untuk kondisi terpakai, ia ada dijual dan harganya juga boleh tahan keras. Situasi itu berbeza dengan negara jiran di mana Honda Thailand baru-baru ini melancarkan edisi istimewa Edisi Bobby Banana dan Edisi Terhad Gundam. Bag

Weighing nearly 1.7 tonnes for just a five-seater SUV, the Proton X70 is the heaviest C-segment SUV. Naturally, its fuel consumption is higher than the Honda CR-V, Mazda CX-5, or even Nissan X-Trail. But how much higher? Curiously, Proton doesn’t provide any official fuel consumption data for the Proton X70, which is powered by a turbocharged 1.8-litre direct injection engine. A similarly turbocharged but 1.5-litre Honda CR-V 1.5 TC-P has a claimed fuel consumption of 7.0-litre/100 km. The equiv

The all-new 10th generation 2020 Honda Accord was launched in Malaysia earlier today. The previous model’s 2.0-litre and 2.4-litre naturally aspirated engines have since been retired, replaced by a new 1.5-litre turbocharged unit that’s shared with the Civic and CR-V, with different tuning of course. While the same engine makes 173 PS/220 Nm in the Civic and 190 PS/243 Nm in the CR-V, the engine has been tweaked for the flagship Accord to produce 201 PS/260 Nm. Since the Toyota Camry Hybrid, Kia

Youthful is not a word one would use to describe the Toyota Corolla Altis. Despite being in the same segment as the Honda Civic, the Corolla Altis is not the go-to car for those with a taste for big wings, fancy aftermarket LED lights, and red emblems. We’ve tried the Toyota Corolla Altis, and it has strengths that we can vouch for. It also lacks in certain departments, but that’s a given. If you’re still on the fence for a Toyota Corolla Altis, here are a few of its pros and cons that could hop

In Malaysia, the Nissan Serena is offered exclusively with the 2.0-litre S-Hybrid (Nissan’s term for mild hybrids) engine. In Japan, Nissan also offers another hybrid option for the Serena, the e-Power variant. The e-Power unit uses a 1.2-litre three cylinder engine, sounds tiny for a such a large car but that’s the whole point. While the Serena S-Hybrid relies mostly on the 2.0-litre petrol engine, aided by 2.6 PS electric motor, the Serena e-Power’s priority is the opposite. It uses a much mor

The Honda Jazz 1.5L CVT is powered by the Earth Dreams Technology 4-cylinder engine, which uses in-cylinder direct injection technology with a compression ratio of 11.5:1. Its maximum output is 118 hp / 6600 rpm and the maximum torque is 155 Nm / 4600 rpm. Honda Jazz's sitting posture is very low, and the seat is also very good.
