Finally, the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro is officially launched in Malaysia. We’ve showed you the C-segment SUV rival to the Proton X70 in full greater than once now, but there was a missing jigsaw piece – the value. So, here you go – available in a single CKD locally assembled spec, the Tiggo 7 Pro retails for RM123,800 on-the-road without insurance. The RRP is a good bit lower than the the ‘below RM130k’ estimate provided. The primary 2,000 customers only pay RM119,800, which is reasonably shocking. Clearly, the Tiggo 7 Pro’s outstanding point is the content for the cash. With…
Yesterday, the federal government kicked off its fuel subsidy rationalisation programme by proclaiming that diesel prices in Peninsular Malaysia will probably be floated, and can retail at RM3.35 per litre ranging from today, June 10. Because of this the worth of Euro 5 B10 and B20 diesel in Pen Malaysia is now RM1.20 (or 56%) greater than the previous capped price of RM2.15, which has been in place since February 2021. While not mentioned within the press statement, the worth of Euro 5 B7 – which before this costs 20 sen per litre more – ought to be adjusted to…
Parents, be honest, have you ever ever struggled together with your child’s homework? I don’t have kids, but I’m pretty confident. Confident that I’ll pull out all the remaining hair on my head in case you give me a sheet of highschool maths. It shouldn’t be that way, right? We all know what it’s, we’ve studied it before, and a few may need even scored As in the topic back within the day. Friends, it’s all about practice. Similar to in sports, you possibly can’t just show up after a few years away and curl one into the highest corner…
Proton sold a complete of 39,150 units in the primary quarter of 2024, including domestic and export shipments. Based on Malaysia’s estimated total industry volume (TIV) of 202,492 units for the primary three months of the yr, Proton’s market share is estimated at 19.3%, which is a 5.1% growth and good for second place overall behind Perodua. In this era, Proton shifted 5,828 units of the brand new S70, including 2,072 units in March. “While production volume remains to be catching as much as demand as close attention is being paid to product quality, the C-segment sedan class leader is…
The driving force of the silver Myvi caught driving against traffic on the PLUS highway in Johor has been arrested. In line with Iskandar Puteri district police chief Rahmat bin Ariffin, the driving force, a 74-year-old uncle, was arrested at Taman Nusa Bayu, Gelang Patah, yesterday morning. In line with the cops, the person was from Segamat and this was his first time in Johor Bahru. On the time of the incident, he was on his approach to a friend’s house in Gelang Patah, but was unfamiliar with JB roads, which led him down the fallacious path. The case is…
Where did 2023 go? Perodua kicked off last 12 months with the launch of the D74A Axia. It felt recent, but was way back in February (they made us work hard on Valentine’s Day). The all-new DNGA Axia starts at a better price point, leaving a spot for the Axia E – essentially a kosong previous-gen Axia – to fill. The ‘Axia Rahmah’ popped eyes with a RM22,000 sticker price in June. One latest model, one facelift. That’s what Perodua does in a 12 months, and the repurposed old Axia accomplished the transient for the market leader in 2023. How…
Click to enlarge Remember the dark blue Proton S70 Premium X with the bodykit that we showed you from the media preview? Proton’s latest three-box sedan is handsome in a conventional, old-school type of way, however it’s a reasonably tall automotive with high sides – in actual fact, all the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla and Mazda 3 are lower than the S70. If you wish to make the S70 look more ground-hugging, the bodykit is offered as an option. The RM3,130 Aerokit Pacakge includes front and rear skirts, side skirts and a boot spoiler. On the launch, Proton announced that…
Click to enlarge Whoa, what do we have now here? Only a render, after all, but Theophilus Chin’s latest creation shouldn’t be completely a flight of fancy – you’ll be able to do it at home too, soon. Christened ‘Proton S70 GT’ by its creator, the vision was of a high-performance version of the S70 inspired by the C99 Wira 1.8 EXi DOHC. “That Wira was built to satisfy the homologation requirement of at the least 2,500 units set by the World Rally Championship… I imagine Proton making a performance-oriented S70 called the S70 GT, fitted with the 1.5 TGDi…
UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has just released teaser images on its social media, showing the brand new Toyota Alphard with the caption ‘Luxury You Deserve’ and the launch date of the luxurious MPV, which is October 23. That’s next Monday. The fourth-generation Alphard’s arrival isn’t a surprise, as UMWT opened order books for it and twin sister Vellfire back in July. We’re getting the Alphard in Executive Lounge form, powered by a 2.4-litre turbocharged engine with 278 PS and 430 Nm of torque from 1,700 to three,600 rpm.
