Rata-rata rakyat Malaysia mengaitkan jenama Maxus sebagai kenderaan komersil dan trak pikap. Sebenarnya, jenama ini juga menghasilkan SUV. Antaranya seperti Maxus D60 2021. Ia baru sahaja dilancarkan di Filipina. Sebelum itu, jenama Maxus asalnya dari mana? Maxus ialah sebuah syarikat China yang telah beli jenama LDV - van terkemuka di British. Hari ini, mereka menghasilkan kenderaan komersil, SUV, dan MPV. Di Malaysia, Maxus ditawarkan dengan model MPV (G10), van (V80), dan trak pikap (T60). Ma

To some of us Malaysians, Maxus is pretty much an obscure brand that's mostly known for their range of commercial vehicles and a pick-up truck. But they also make nice SUVs, such as this 2021 Maxus D60 that was recently launched in the Phillippines. Before we go there, what's Maxus? Maxus is a Chinese company that purchased British van specialist LDV, whose core speciality were vans. Maxus now dabbles in commercial vehicles, SUVs, and MPVs. In Malaysia, their line-up comprises of an MPV (G10), a

Sebelum ini, kami bawakan anda kereta kompak dan sedan yang paling tidak laku di Malaysia. Disebabkan permintaan yang ramai, kami akan menyenaraikan untuk kategori SUV, MPV, dan trak pikap pula. Mengenai episod sebelum ini, kami bukanlah ingin menerjah kereta buatan China semata-mata. Sejujurnya, mereka sangat kekurangan dari segi mutu pemasangan dan kualiti keseluruhan. Tetapi kini, mereka sangatlah disegani terutama kereta keluaran Geely yang telah dipersembahkan di Malaysia. Malah Proton tela

The problem of motorists riding/driving against traffic is not unique to Malaysia, although your Facebook feeds will give you that it’s a growing problem confined only to Malaysia. Yesterday, a 35-year old man in Japan was killed when his Honda N-Box was hit head-on by a Toyota Crown driven by a 78-year old man who was driving against traffic. The incident happened yesterday 6-January, at 12.40 am at the Nishimeihan Expressway in Yamatokōriyama city, in Nara prefecture. The younger driver died o

It has been about two weeks of ownership with our Perodua Ativa. How have things been? Well, the rattling sound we mentioned previously had gotten really annoying. Every time we drove over abrupt irregularities on the right side, the sound became more and more apparent. We needed to take the Ativa to Sepang on Tuesday to check out some Malaysian-made electric car, so we held off going to the service centre until Wednesday. About two weeks of driving with that sound, we finally checked in at the

So, the sliding doors on your MPV decided to fail on you. It could be a Toyota Alphard, Toyota Estima, Toyota Sienta, Nissan Serena, Hyundai Starex, or a Kia Grand Carnival. Manual sliding doors are a lot easier to fix, but power sliding doors are a little bit trickier. Before you rush to any nearby workshop, you might want to check a few things. The solution is usually a lot cheaper than you think it is. 1. Sliding doors hard to open or close? Could be dirty tracks The sliding doors of an MPV m

Launched in 2019, the MG Extender is the British-Chinese carmaker's attempt to persuade Thais for an alternative to the usual Toyota Hilux or Isuzu D-Max. The pick-up truck market is very big in the Kingdom after all, with nearly half of the new vehicles sold there in 2020 being a pick-up. A little under two years later, MG decided to give the Extender a facelift, and boy it looks striking indeed! Underneath, the Extender is a Maxus T60 that is available in Malaysia but unlike the Maxus, the MG

Proton has been at the receiving end of many angry complaints from customers with regards to its after-sales. Proton dealers are experiencing shortage of not just regular wear and tear replacement parts, but also bigger body and paint parts for collision repairs. You may have read of complaints of customers who have been waiting for months to get parts for their accident-damaged Proton cars. Those complaints are legit but like many things you read on Facebook, the alleged reasons behind the part

Like any organization experiencing rapid growth and change, there will be growing pains. Proton is experiencing this first hand, not just with supply issues of the very high in demand Proton X50, but also shortage in spare parts supply for its service centres. To Proton’s credit, the company has taken a very brave move to publically acknowledge the shortcomings in its after-sales services. At today’s announcement of Proton’s February 2021 sales performance, Proton said it recorded its highest ev

In the recent years, we have welcomed some new three-cylinder engine cars to the world – the Nissan Almera 1.0 turbo, Honda City 1.0 turbo (Thailand), Proton X50, and more excitingly, the Toyota GR Yaris. Even Christian von Koenigsegg has channelled his genius into developing a 600 HP three-cylinder engine. With these developments however, some of us still remain very sceptical of them. We will never forget the underpowered three pots in tiny cars like the Perodua Kancil and Perodua Kelisa. Sure

There is no doubt that about the BMW’s superior dynamics, which is far ahead of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the Audi A4. We absolutely love the way it drives and sounds, even in the four-cylinder 330i. In terms of evolution of character, the G20 BMW 3 Series is closer to the more driver-focused E90 3 Series than the previous F30 model, which closer to the comfort-biased E46 than the sharper handling E90. The G20 BMW 3 Series is more spacious than the E90, without losing any of the excellent dr

According to the state Infrastructure and Public Amenities, Agriculture Modernisation and Agro-based Industry committee, some 60 percent of roads in Selangor has reached its service life and many are structurally damaged.

Committee chairman Izham Hashim said that most of the roads in Selangor are close to 30 to 40 years old or more and past due for an upgrade. He further explained that roads usually reach maturity within

Dilancarkan pada tahun 2019, MG Extender dibangunkan khas oleh pengeluar kereta British-China untuk pasaran Thailand. Ia diibarat sebagai alternatif untuk mereka yang sudah bosan dengan Toyota Hilux ataupun Isuzu D-Max. Untuk maklumat anda, pasaran trak pikap di sana cukup besar. Malah, hampir separuh daripada kereta baru yang dijual tahun lepas adalah jenis pikap. Tidak sampai dua tahun, MG sudah perkenalkan model facelift.

Merely two years after it was unveiled, MG Thailand decided to give its sole pick-up model a facelift. In a market where the pick-up truck is literally king, it probably makes sense for the MG Extender to be given a facelift in such a short timeframe to boost interest. The MG Extender saw poor sales ever since it was introduced in 2019. Up until last year, MG sold around 5,800 units of the Extender – a large contrast to the six figures its major competitors have in the past two years. Also read:

Finding the perfect car is the motto here at WapCar but "perfect" can be pretty subjective. After all, sometimes you want a car that fits your personality. Instead of going for the safe option, you would choose an alternative for wanting to stand out. For example, choosing a Kia Picanto over a Perodua Axia, a Citroen C3 Aircross over a Perodua Myvi, a Renault Koleos over a Honda CR-V, or even a Toyota RAV4 over a BMW X1. Wait, that last one is more on price than sharing the same segment but you

It is no surprise that when it comes to preserving heritage models, Nissan comes up on top, as the Yokohama-based company has already introduced its Heritage Parts Program parked under the Nismo umbrella. Now, Nissan is raising the bar even higher, as they recently developed a new method to utilize robots to produce car parts out of sheet metal without the need for a die. The process is called dual-sided dieless forming, which involves two synchronized robots working from opposite sides of a she

The 2020 Bangkok International Motor Show is currently in full swing. One of the cars on display at the show is the 2020 MG ZS facelift. Since its launch in 2017, the ZS has established itself as one of the most popular B-segment SUVs in Thailand, it even outsold rivals like the Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-30 in the first 6 months of 2020. Only 2 variants of the MG ZS SUV are offered in the Thai market. The more popular variant is powered by a naturally aspirated 1.5-litre petrol engine that dispens

All it took was 7 minutes and a group of Malaysians to lift a Toyota Wish that double parked and blocked a Perodua Myvi from coming out of its parking space. From the video, it appears that the Myvi driver got the attention of one passerby, who later got more help from other passersby. Amazingly, the group of men found lifts to lift the Toyota Wish and repositioned the MPV, allowing the Myvi to exit. Watch the full video here.

With A.S.A 2.0 made available on the top spec and VSC now standard for the Premium X, the new facelifted Perodua Bezza sounds like it has received the smartest updates. But one thing that Perodua didn’t see fit to bring to the board is an adjustable steering wheel. Yes, the Perodua Bezza still continues on in this cycle without a tilt adjustable steering wheel. It’s not a strange concept as Perodua’s A-segment representatives, like the Axia, Viva, and Kancil that came before the current crop, ha

The Internet is a wonderful place for rumour mills (remember the hullabaloo surrounding the Proton X50?) All one needs is to put in a photo, and boom, people will start talking about it. Which is what we saw happen when Toyota Malaysia teased the GR Yaris. People went crazy over it, and that's fair - it's an exciting car, but not expected to be cheap. But if you really need some Gazoo Racing flavour, maybe this can inspire you. GR Perodua Myvi? Enter the 'GR Perodua Myvi'. Rendered by Mr. Kuruma

How many of you are aware of the warning lights on your car's meter cluster? You're not alone if you don't have a slightest clue at all. Unsurprisingly, some of us choose to ignore the warning lights entirely until the car eventually breaks down, and by the time that happens, it is a little too late to cry. While some warning lights may seem unimportant, it’s good to know what they mean and how to react next. Usually, warning lights illuminate whenever there is a problem with one or more of your

Proton Saga armoured up a new infotainment system in the mid-life facelift. Some Ford vehicles also have the infotainment system updated, but not for facelift or whatsoever, but for its congenital defect.
