There’s also the fact that it might be difficult to convince Malaysian buyers to buy something different from the norm. It doesn’t matter if the brand has a cool car in its line-up

Competing against the top-selling Jeep Wrangler and Cherokee models, the new Bronco range features a two-door, a brand new four-door and a smaller Bronco Sport model. Positioned as ‘Built Wild’, the models hark back to the original 1966 Bronco, with a stron

It’s no surprise that MG will be returning to Malaysia – the C-segment MG HS and MG ZS EV have been caught several times on Malaysian soil. The missing piece to this puzzle was the origins of MG vehicles, would they be imported (CBU) from MG’s plant in Thailand or locally-assembled (CKD)? While younger readers may not have heard of the MG marque before, it does have an interesting history. Short for Morris Garages, MG was founded in 1924 in Oxford, England.

If you think that the name Big Dog is amusing, Haval further amps up the humour with the variant names for the SUV. The base spec Big Dog is known as the Husky vari
