      Dear Malaysians, Are You All Allergic To Using Indicators?

      The number of Malaysian drivers today who don’t use their indicators is too damn high! Dear fellow Malaysians, in nearly every car (even BMWs!) on the road today, there is to be found a stalk just behind the steering wheel that activates a set of flashing amber lights at both the front and rear of one’s vehicle. These are called turn signals (or indicators). USE THEM! Turn signals, as their name already very clearly indicates, signals a driver’s intention on which direction they are wishing to head towards. This nifty feature does not only let other road users know which…

      How does this all-electric big Benz SUV fare as the big car for someone’s big day? Disclaimer: This review here isn’t exactly going to be the most normal out there of the Mercedes-Benz EQS 450 4MATIC SUV.  Such is because this writer had borrowed this Benz with the primary purpose of serving as a wedding car for a close family relation, and thus this piece instead aims to offer just some insight as to how the flagship EV of the three pointed star’s fare in being the big car for someone’s big day.  For The Couple Starting first with some…

      The Many Chinese Luxury MPVs Coming To Malaysia Next Year

      Here’s a quick preview of all the new Chinese challengers coming to claim the Alphard’s throne in Malaysia.  While there have been a few other decent alternatives from Kia and Honda, it should go without saying that the Toyota Alphard remains the undisputed default choice for anyone who wanting a luxury MPV over here. Though much like how the Chinese marques have recently been going after the Japanese with their SUVs and sedans, it does seem that some of those same brands are now attempting to challenge the big T for a slice of the upmarket MPV pie too.  …

      Honda City Hatchback RS e:HEV Facelift Review: Decent For Dating Duties

      This newly-refreshed hybrid City Hatchback does a decent job when courtship is on the cards.  So recently, Honda has rather graciously offered up their newly-facelifted City Hatchback for Automacha to review. But the only problem here is that while Automacha has not actually done a test on the Hatchback before, quite a lot has been said already on this site regarding its strikingly-similar sedan sibling.  In fact, it was just a few short months ago that this writer had published quite a comprehensive review on the exact same hybrid spec of its similarly updated sedan sibling (linked here for your…

      The Volkswagen VR6 Is Officially Dead After A 34-Year Run

      This iconic Volkswagen six-cylinder first appeared in the Passat and Corrado all the way back in 1991.  After an admittedly impressive 34-year run, Volkswagen has recently announced that it’s legendary VR6 engine has since been put to pasture. A spokesperson for the German automaker Andreas G. Schleith took to LinkedIn to share the solemn news, with the last of these narrow-angle V6s was assembled on the 12th of December 2024.  Now for those who are currently in Volkswagen’s home market, this might come as a surprise, as the VR6 has long disappeared in Europe since the mid-2010s already. This six-pot however soldiered…

Like this Daihatsu Mira e:S Turbo concept for instance, which features all the right bits of kit that will no doubt put a smile on any petrolhead’s face.  Set to be officially shown off at Daihatsu’s stand during the upcoming Tokyo Auto Salon 2025 taking place in early January, the Mira e:S Turbo concept is to actually be a rather rare breed of tiny cars that promises big…

      Geely EX5 To Launch In Australia With A RM 200,000 Price Tag

      Thought the markup for the Proton e.MAS 7 was bad? Be thankful you’re not in Australia then… Geely Australia’s official website confirmed that it will soon be making its brand debut over there next year, and one of its premiere models will be the EX5 e-SUV. But while this is big news in itself, most Malaysians will probably be more interested in the fact that this Proton e.MAS 7 mechanical twin will cost around A$72,200 (RM 200,000) down under! Yes, while many Malaysians were already complaining that the newly-launched Proton e.MAS 7 had about a 50% markup over its Geely…

In fact, the Chinese automaker is currently ranked as among top 10 list best selling car brands locally, with this being a feat that is doubly impressive when considering that its local lineup is fully electric! Now part of this boom in popularity of BYD over here is of…

      The Latest Corvette ZR1 Goes From 0-96 km/h In Just 2.3 Seconds

      This latest and greatest purely-petrol Corvette also takes less than 10 seconds to do a 1/4-mile.  With a whopping 1,064 horsepower on tap, the latest C8 Corvette ZR1 was always going to be a rather speedy machine. And today it was finally revealed by Chevrolet as to how quick it really is, as this flagship fibreglass supercar apparently takes just 2.3 seconds to go from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h)!  For context here, the ZR1’s 0-60 mph time ties that of the Bugatti Chiron and fully-electric Lotus Evija hypercar. It also incidentally sees this purely-petrol ‘Vette beat out its electrified E-Ray…

      Das Treffen 9 Was The Largest ASEAN Porsche Gathering To Date

      Over 3,000 Porsche fanatics congregated to share their love for the Stuggart Stallion in Bangkok last weekend.   With last year’s Das Treffen coinciding with a trio of anniversaries for Porsche (75 years of Porsche sports cars, 60 years of 911 and 30 years of Porsche Thailand), one might think that the Stuggart Stallion may have decided to tone it down a tad for this year’s event in Bangkok. But this is Porsche we’re talking about after all, hence it should come as no surprise that Das Treffen 9 boasted the largest turnout to date! The ninth edition of Das…

      Suzuki Sends Off Its Z33S Swift Sport With One Final Edition

      This send-off special Swift Sport nets a clutch of cosmetic add-ons on the outside and in its cabin.  One of the last warm hatches around is soon to finally be consigned to the history books, as Suzuki has announced that its Z33S Swift Sport will soon be no more. But before production eventually comes to an end next year, the Japanese automaker is giving its pocket rocket one last hurrah in the form of an aptly-named ‘Final Edition’.  Predominantly an appearance package, the Final Edition Swift Sports is set apart from its standard siblings by way of a gloss black…

      Chery Obtains SIRIM Certification For Its Omoda E5 EV Battery

      The SIRIM certification for its Omoda E5 drive battery is incidentally a first for an automaker in Malaysia.  The prior few technical oopsies with the Omoda 5 have certainly sent Chery on a warpath to get every single safety certification it can with its models. Such is as not too long after obtaining a 5-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating for the aforementioned SUV, its all-electric sibling has since also obtained a SIRIM certification for its drive battery.  A first for an automotive brand in the country, Chery Malaysia has obtained the SIRIM certification for its Electric Vehicle (EV) Battery Pack…

      Proton Primed For A Return To Singapore With Its e.MAS 7

      The newly-launched all-electric Proton e.MAS 7 will make landfall in Singapore sometime in early 2025.  After nearly a decade since it last pulled out, Proton is currently primed for a return to Singapore with its newly-launched e.MAS 7. The first-ever EV for the Malaysian marque is set to be available across the causeway in early 2025.  Proton has since appointed the Vincar Group as the official distributor of its e.Mas electrified sub-brand in Singapore. A recent Facebook post by Vincar has further indicated that a flagship showroom will be opened along the Leng Kee automotive belt on the island, to…

      Lamborghini’s First-Ever Fully Electric Model Now Delayed To 2029

      The previously-teased Lanzador all-electric coupe crossover was initially slated to arrive in 2028.  A little while back when everyone was still going through their own EV phase, Lamborghini had previously announced that it will eventually be launching their own tailpipe-less model in 2028. But even this far out time line seems to be a bit too soon for the raging bull marque, as it has since recently revised the launch date of its imminent Lanzador fully electric coupe crossover to 2029.  This additional 12-month delay to Lamborghini’s first fully-electric model comes amid statements from its CEO that essentially points to…

      GWM Has Locally Assembled 1,000 Haval H6 HEVs In Malaysia

      This 1,000th unit milestone comes in less than 3 months since CKD production of the Haval H6 HEV began over here.  Great Wall Motor (GWM) has recently announced that it has since celebrated the local assembly of its 1,000th Haval H6 HEV over here. This hybrid SUV is to be the Chinese automaker’s first-ever CKD product in Malaysia, and it incidentally only begun rolling out of the EP Manufacturing Berhad (EPMB) facility in Melaka a little over 2 months ago. “This achievement reflects our deliberate approach to prioritising quality over sheer production numbers,” said Cui Anqi, Managing Director of GWM…
