The SUV market in Malaysia has a new talking point, and it is boxy, bold, and already proving to be a strong sales performer. Say hello to the Jetour T2, which is officially available in Malaysia in a single 2.0L XWD variant, priced at RM156,800 (Peninsular Malaysia) on-the-road without insurance. That places it squarely in […]
The electric vehicle market in Malaysia is moving at a ridiculous pace. Almost every month, a new EV arrives promising more range, more technology, bigger screens, faster charging, or more power. Yet despite the growing number of choices, very few EVs manage to feel genuinely complete. That’s precisely why the Xpeng G6 RWD Long Range […]
The Mazda CX-80 has a tough job in Malaysia. Priced at RM296,610, Mazda’s largest SUV sits in an interesting position within the market. It competes against established seven-seat models such as the Kia Sorento, Hyundai Santa Fe and Peugeot 5008, while also creeping into territory occupied by entry-level premium SUVs from BMW and Mercedes-Benz. That […]
When the all-new Honda Prelude was first revealed, there was a surprising amount of criticism. The main complaint? It shares its hybrid powertrain with the Honda Civic e:HEV, which immediately led to people saying the Prelude is going to be underpowered, not exciting enough, and nowhere near the level of the Honda Civic Type R.

Following our earlier feature on Aeson Power sodium-ion battery technology, we’ve now had the chance to try one in a real-world scenario. The unit in question is the NaPulse Black NS40L, fitted to a 2012 Perodua Myvi 1.5SE—arguably one of the most relatable test beds for any new automotive tech in Malaysia. Priced between RM369 […]
If you’ve ever driven the Mazda CX-5 and thought, “This is great, but I wish it was a bit bigger, a bit more premium, and a bit more practical,” then the Mazda CX-60 is essentially Mazda answering that exact brief. Because that’s exactly what this car is. The CX-60 doesn’t try to reinvent the formula. […]
Let’s get one thing straight — the Volvo XC60 isn’t just another premium SUV. It’s the model that outsells everything else in Volvo’s global lineup. And after spending time with the T8 AWD plug-in hybrid (RM367,888) in Malaysia, it becomes very clear why. This isn’t about one standout feature. It’s about how everything just comes […]
The Volvo EC40 Single Motor arrives in Malaysia with a very clear mission — to make the EC40 range more accessible without diluting what makes it desirable in the first place. That sounds simple enough on paper, but in reality, it’s something many carmakers struggle to get right. More often than not, a cheaper variant […]
While the old Chery Omoda 5 definitely had people talking, not all of that talk was positive.
