Let’s face it, for a lot of Malaysians, the ideal family mover is not that fancy SUV. Instead, the ideal family mover, especially for those with young kids or elderly parents, is an MPV. In Malaysia, the options for MPVs are aplenty, but we reckon that the ideal MPV is one that has powered sliding doors, thus narrowing down the selection by quite a fair bit. For those shopping for a family MPV, the most affordable option that features power sliding doors is a brand-new C27 Nissan Serena. Recond

Kenderaan yang sesuai untuk keluarga yang besar ialah sebuah Multi Purpose Vehicle (MPV). Di Malaysia, terdapat pelbagai pilihan yang menarik. MPV yang berharga lebih mahal sememangnya kelihatan lebih mewah dan canggih. Namun begitu, MPV yang berharga lebih mampu milik tidak kekurangan dalam membawa penumpang dengan ramai dan selesa. Pilihan mampu milik yang cukup menarik ialah Nissan Serena C27. Pada masa yang sama, pengimport kereta recond sudah membawa masuk Toyota Voxy (turut dikenali sebaga

The fifth-gen Nissan Serena (C27) has been on sale since 2016 in Japan and was once the best-selling MPV there. Even though it was given a facelift in 2019 and featured some interesting tech underneath, its position was usurped by the Toyota Voxy in 2020. Nissan knows the Serena is due for a full model change and after 5 years, it looks like the next-generation model will arrive in October 2021. This is according to a scoop by Best Car Web. Based on the rendering as seen in the cover photo provi

Nissan Serena generasi kelima (C27) telah dijaul sejak tahun 2016 di Jepun dan pernah menjadi MPV paling laris di sana. Walaupun ia telah diberi kemaskini pada 2019 dan dilengkapi dengan pelbagai teknologi yang menarik, posisi itu telah ditawan oleh Toyota Voxy pada tahun 2020. Seperti biasa, Nissan tahu bahawa Serena memerlukan model baru sepenuhnya (FMC) setelah lima tahun dan kali ini desas desus daripada Best Car Web mengatakan ia bakal tiba pada Oktober 2021.

Percaya atau tidak, ada sesetengah kenderaan sebenarnya lebih baik dibeli daripada pasaran “recond” atau erti kata lain, “import”. Bagi yang mengikuti kami dari awal, semestinya anda tahu bahawa kami jarang mencadangkan kereta recond tetapi kali ini kami beri peluang. Sebelum kami mulakan, kita harus mengetepikan ideologi yang mengatakan spesifikasi kenderaan recond dilengkapi ciri keselamatan dan fungsi yang lebih tinggi berbanding spesifikasi tempatan.

That's our Toyota C-HR review vedio. The Toyota C-HR was launched in Malaysia in March 2018. It subsequently went through a minor update in 2019 with better features and revised styling. Prior to the launch, the public was seriously hyped up for the Toyota C-HR following UMW Toyota Motor's extensive campaign for the SUV. I still remember clearly the amount of attention the Toyota C-HR got when it first made its public preview at the 2017 Carlist.my Test, Drive and Buy event. Toyota C-HR Price Un

The eighth-generation Toyota Camry 2.5V raised a lot of eyebrows. It is the most expensive Toyota Camry ever sold in Malaysia priced at RM 196,888 (OTR without insurance). Under the sharp "keen Look" exterior, lies Toyota's latest TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture) platform that adopts double-wishbone rear suspension, low centre of gravity and dynamic handling characteristic. Like most new-generation Toyotas, the athleticism of the Toyota Camry is more akin to a BMW rather than a traditional

Toyota Corolla Cross The 2021 Toyota Corolla Cross is now finally launched in Malaysia and we had a brief session with it, bringing you a first drive review of Toyota’s latest SUV. No matter how much “enthusiasts” complain about SUVs, consumers just cannot get enough of tall-riding, big cars, and I am completely on the consumer's side. SUVs are practical, offer great outward visibility and generous ground clearance (especially for our roads). For a sensible family man like myself, what is there

Toyota Alphard dan kembarnya Vellfire yang sporty telah mengungguli jalan raya di Malaysia selama bertahun-tahun sejak diperkenalkan pada tahun 2002 dan 2008. Walau bagaimanapun, masa untuk mengganas di landasan kanan, memandu VIP dan tow-kay mungkin berakhir buat salah satu dari mereka. Menurut laman sesawang Jepun Best Car, Toyota akan menggugurkan beberapa modelnya yang bermula dengan Toyota Tank iaitu kenderaan jenis MPV mini.

Toyota Alphard merupakan antara MPV kegemaran ramai kerana ia cukup praktikal dan nampak gah. Tahun lepas, ia menduduki tangga ke-5 teratas dari segi jualan kereta di Jepun. Menurut Japan Automobile Dealer Association (JADA), Toyota Alphard terjual sebanyak 90,748 unit pada tahun lepas. Bilangan ini meletakkannya dibelakang Honda Fit, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Raize, dan Toyota Yaris. Secara tidak langsung, Toyota Alphard menjadi MPV paling laris di Jepun untuk tahun 2020.

Yes, you read the title correctly – we’ve compiled a list of 6 cars you should buy recond over official units. For those who have been following us would know that we don’t usually recommend recond cars, but for this post, we’ll make an exception. But before we get started, we should clarify the misconception that recond car are better equipped than local spec cars isn’t true. Companies like Toyota and Mercedes-Benz have been fitting their cars with generous safety equipment, matching or even su

(2019 Toyota Vios prices and specs | Gallery) To begin with, a full disclosure – my daily is a 2014 (third generation pre-facelift) Toyota Vios and some bias may be involved in this review, but not in the way that you think, it's actually against the Toyota Vios. Personally, the Toyota Vios has never been appealing because to me, it is merely a means to avoid our national brands. And when my family decided to get one back in 2014, needless to say I wasn't particularly thrilled by the news. But p

The Japan Automobile Dealers Association (JADA) has released its list of top selling models in Japan for Financial Year 2020 (April 2020 to March 2021). Seven out of the top-10 best-selling models in Japan came from Toyota. The Toyota Yaris (including Yaris Cross and GR Yaris) is Japan’s most popular nameplate, with 202,657 units sold in the last year. This was followed by the Toyota Raize, our Perodua Ativa’s Japanese cousin, with 120,998 units, making it Japan’s best-selling SUV. The Raize’s t

The Toyota Alphard and its sporty-looking twin, the Vellfire have been the mainstay of Malaysian roads for years ever since they were introduced in 2002 and 2008 respectively. However, the time of terrorizing the fast lane, transporting VIPs and towkays might be ending for one of them. According to Japanese site, Best Car, Toyota has announced that it would be downsizing some of its models beginning with the Toyota Tank mini MPV. The Tank will continue on sale until 15 September 2020, when the T

The 2020 Toyota Corolla Cross has officially been launched in Thailand. As is the norm in this region, the Thai media were the first group to sample the brand-new Corolla Cross at the Toyota Driving Experience. Our Thai colleague, Pisan of our sister site, AutoFun Thailand, got to briefly put the Toyota Corolla Cross through its paces. At the Toyota Driving Experience Park, AutoFun had the opportunity to do a short test drive on a prepared course. This is by no means conclusive enough to make a

The Japanese fancy boxy vehicles, no matter the size. This is shown in everyone's favourite luxury breadvan, the Toyota Alphard which became the fifth best-selling car in Japan in 2020. At least in the non-Kei car category. According to the latest information by the Japan Automobile Dealer Association (JADA), Toyota sold 90,748 units of the Alphard in 2020. This puts it fifth behind the Toyota Yaris, the Toyota Raize, the Toyota Corolla, and the Honda Fit. With that, the Alphard is easily the be

Toyota RAV4 After much speculation, teasers, and leaks, the 2020 Toyota RAV4 has landed on our shores directly from Japan (CBU). The Toyota RAV4 nameplate is one of the most recognizable names in Toyota's line-up, having pioneered the first compact crossover SUV segment worldwide in 1994. Now on its fifth-generation, the Toyota RAV4 faces off serious competition from many other manufacturers in the trending SUV market. The design was first previewed by the FT-AC Concept SUV shown in 2017, and mu

(2019 Toyota Yaris 1.5G Prices & Specs | Gallery) After a long absence from the Malaysian market, the 2019 Toyota Yaris is back to shake up the Honda-Jazz-dominated-segment with a loud bang. With local artists leading the marketing campaign, it is clear that Toyota is aiming at a fun lifestyle concept rather than a practical daily people mover. But car enthusiasts flocked to showrooms all the same to rediscover the hatchback, eager to see if the Toyota Yaris could live up to the Honda Jazz's sol

Toyota Corolla Altis | Gallery The Corolla is Toyota's most storied nameplate. So steeped is its heritage that by the late ‘90s, the Corolla name had become too successful for its own good. The name had become a drag because younger buyers associated the name too much with their father's car. Thus explains the introduction of the "Altis" suffix. Irrespective of what it's called, the Corolla (Altis) has always stood for quality, dependability, and reliability. Toyota folks like to call it QDR. Ra

It's a good time to be fans of cheeky taglines, as UMW Toyota Motor's campaign to promote the imminent-in-Malaysia Toyota Corolla Cross has been taking potshots at Honda Malaysia's 'Your Time is Up' effort. But, as they always say, talk is cheap. Does the Corolla Cross have enough in its arsenal to back up its shoutiness? For that, we'll jump into this review by our AutoFun Thailand colleagues to give you a better idea of what to expect. Exterior - Much bigger in person Thai customers get a choi

Jenama Jepun sememangnya menjadi pilihan utama bagi sesetengah pembeli di Malaysia. Oleh yang demikian, sudah tentu model kereta terlaris di Jepun mampu menjadi penanda aras terawal untuk model-model yang bakal berjaya di Malaysia.

Toyota Corolla Cross We had a first drive review in the all-new 2021 Toyota Corolla Cross in Malaysia, and this is what we think of Toyota’s latest SUV. UMW Toyota has 2 variants of the Corolla Cross on sale – 1.8G & 1.8V; the latter is only available in July 2021. This is why our test drive session was in the entry-level 1.8G. 2021 Toyota Corolla Cross Price in Malaysia 1.8G RM 124,000 1.8V (deliveries after July) RM 134,000 Early adopters of the Corolla Cross 1.8G will be pleased to know that

The latest 8th-generation 2021 Hyundai Sonata 2.5 aspires to capture buyers who are looking at the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. Being a fully imported (CBU) model, the Sonata loses out on the price factor with a hefty price tag of RM 206,888 (OTR without insurance & SST). No powerful turbocharged engine nor ADAS in this all-new Sonata but there are some interesting features that may appeal to buyers. As mentioned in the video, the Sonata is going to sell for its novelty. Quirky features like t

This is the new 2020 Toyota Hilux Rogue - the top-dog in the newly-facelifted Toyota Hilux range. Priced at RM 146,880, the Hilux Rogue comes with a meatier 2.8-litre turbodiesel and a box of bells and whistles. But is it all just bright lights and metal bars? On Monday, we spent an entire day with it, and this is what we think. Exterior - chunky and tough The facelift brings about visual changes throughout the range, but the Rogue gets exclusive touches: a different front bumper and grille, hoo

When we brought you the closer look of the 2020 Honda CR-V facelift last week, we also saw the all-new 2020 Honda City parking pretty outside. We know you're clamouring to know more - so we politely asked for the keys and took it for a spin. Please note that this is a brief review, and a detailed review will follow post-CMCO. We drove the V variant - which is the range-topping petrol variant before the upcoming hybrid RS - and here's what we think of it following a brief drive around Kuala Lumpu

So, we’ve bought a Perodua Ativa for a long-term review. Having booked the car in January 2021 (way before the virtual launch), we’re one of the early customers to receive the car. All along, we've been pestering the showroom to expedite the delivery, and we're very happy that it's finally here. What did we order? We’ve opted for the AV variant with a two-tone paint job, featuring the “Pearl Delima Red” body colour and black roof. No “Gear Up” kit here, since we prefer to keep things simple and

Above a certain price point, car buying starts to become a game of desire versus rationale. At RM 140,000, you could easily get a used F30 BMW 3 Series or a W212 Mercedes-Benz E-Class. That's desire talking. The rationale in you would be screaming maintenance cost and reliability. For peace of mind then, you turn to new cars and for the longest time, the Toyota Corolla has been the embodiment of rationale. It will probably outlast cockroaches and sweep used car dealers' feet off. Those who want

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

Early this month, Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) teased the 2020 Mitsubishi Xpander at Mid Valley Megamall to garner interests and bookings. While the model is set to make its Malaysian debut sometime soon, the Xpander had been launched in other markets around South East Asia since 2017. Indonesia is one of those markets and received a facelift in February 2020. The MPV segment is king over there with the Xpander reportedly being the second best-selling car in Indonesia behind the Toyota Avanz
