      An Automacha First Look At The 2025 Volvo EX90 7-Seat E-SUV

      The Volvo EX90 is set to make its local debut come April time, with a ballpark price tag of RM 450,000.  So a little while ago, Volvo Car Malaysia had hosted an exclusive media preview of the EX90, offering an early look at the Swedish automaker’s latest all-electric flagship SUV. And with its official debut just around the corner, here’s Automacha’s take on what to expect from this seven-seater behemoth. Now the first thing that immediately stands out upon seeing the EX90 in the metal is the sheer size of it. Measuring in at 5,037 mm in length (compared to…

      Volvo Malaysia Opens Pre-Bookings For Its EX90 & XC90 Facelift

      The retail price for both these large Volvo SUVs are slated to be around the RM 450,000 mark.  While Volvo Car Malaysia focused on small with the local launch of their EX30 last year, 2025 however seems to be the year where the Swedish automaker goes big over here. The big news with Volvo Car Malaysia this year is the imminent debut of two massive 7-seat SUVs — the fully-electric EX90 and the newly-updated electrified XC90 PHEV. Both these behemoths are incidentally now available for pre-booking from right now (link here for anyone interested), before their subsequent local launch next…

      Denza had also previously proclaimed that it received over 800 orders for the D9 already.  If you’ve been noticing more Denza D9s on the road from today, there’s a good reason for it. Such is as the first 200 units of this premium all-electric MPV have just been delivered to customers in Malaysia, in a mass handover event that took place at the ‘DENZA and BYD Electrifying Experience’ exhibition last weekend at Plaza Arkadia, Desa ParkCity. Eagle Zhao, Managing Director of BYD Malaysia Sdn Bhd, hailed the milestone, stating, “The delivery of our first 200 units of the DENZA D9…

      Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 4MATIC Facelift Review: The Hot Hatch For The Family Man

      The GLB 250 is really in a class of one right now for being a hot hatch that could haul arse while also hauling 7 people.  Despite having the letter B right there in Benz, Mercedes-Benz however seemingly doesn’t have much luck with any of its B-badged models. Its B-Class compact MPV has, after all, always been the awkward sibling next to the infinitely more appealing A- and C-Class, with its GLB also not exactly the Benz that many are clamouring to have on their driveways too… Having recently lived with the newly-facelifted GLB for a few days however, this…

      Over 15,000 orders for the B10 were apparently secured within the first hour since pre-sale began.  While still not exactly a household name over here even nearly a year after its local debut, Leapmotor nevertheless appears to have better fortunes back in its home market. Such is as the Stellantis-backed Chinese upstart automaker has recently announced that it already secured over 31,688 orders for its new B10 e-SUV, and this was just in the first 48 hours since the pre-sales began on March 10th! In fact, Leapmotor has touted that it secured over 15,000 bookings within the first hour of…

      Volkswagen Is Eyeing A Potential Return To Military Manufacturing

      This thought by Volkswagen comes at a time when Germany themselves pivot toward greater rearmament…  Now as if the world can’t stop itself hurtling back to the 1930s any faster, it was recently floated that Volkswagen might go back into making military equipment again. This development comes as Europe’s defence sector experiences renewed growth, in response to increased military spending across the continent from the geopolitical mess the world is currently embroiled in… Volkswagen Group CEO Oliver Blume has recently stated during company’s annual media conference that while the company hasn’t been formally approached by potential partners, the automaker is…

      Toyota C-HR+ Previewed With Up To 338 HP & 600 km Of Range

      This sleekly-styled all-electric crossover from Toyota will first go on sale in Europe later this year.  While Toyota has certainly taken its time in joining the EV party, it has finally decided to expand beyond just one (or technically two) tailpipe-less cars in its lineup. The latest addition comes in the form of this all-electric crossover, somewhat confusingly dubbed the C-HR+.   Starting with its rather strange name, the reason for its oddity is that this all-electric C-HR+ is technically unrelated to the hybrid crossover of the same name. In fact, this model was initially expected to carry the bZ3X…

      Swedish EV Battery Manufacturer Northvolt Files for Bankruptcy

      Northvolt reportedly was in debt to the tune of more than $8 billion (RM 35.4 billion) as of end-January.  Swedish battery cell manufacturer Northvolt has recently declared bankruptcy on Wednesday. This collapse represents one of Sweden’s largest corporate failures since Saab collapsed more than a decade ago, and effectively ends Europe’s strongest contender against dominant Asian battery producers. A court-appointed trustee will oversee the bankruptcy proceedings, managing asset sales and settling outstanding obligations where possible. Notably, Northvolt’s operations in North America, Germany, and Poland are not included in the Swedish bankruptcy filing, with their fate to be determined by the…

      The Jaguar Type 00 Actually Looks Rather Stunning In Real Life

      And it thus begs the question as to why didn’t Jaguar just showcase the Type 00 like this in the first place… So a little while ago, Jaguar gave the world its first glimpse of its newly-reinvented self. And putting aside the rather un-Jaguar-y (to put it very mildly) teaser trailer, the car it subsequently showcased wasn’t exactly something that made people go “wow.”   Instead, with the official press photos featuring both a pastel pink and blue example set against a vibrant lilac background, the more common (and PC) reaction when people first clapped eyes on the Type 00…

      Toyota Malaysia Reports Strong February 2025 Sales Performance

      6,632 Toyotas were delivered locally in February 2025, bringing their 2025 total to 12,015 vehicles.  UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has seemingly returned to form in the Malaysian automotive market recently, as it reports a somewhat solid sales performance for the month of February 2025. The Japanese automaker delivered 6,632 units last month, bringing its total year-to-date (YTD) sales to 12,015 vehicles when combined with January’s 5,383 units. Now while last month’s sales is slightly down from the 7,480 deliveries it managed in February 2024, the current YTD figures is nevertheless looking promising for the automaker, as it already accounts for…

      Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida Ousted In Favour Of Ivan Espinosa

      It currently remains to be seen if Mr. Espinosa will be reviving the once-cancelled Nissan-Honda merger.  In what is just the latest twist in the ongoing drama at Nissan, the Japanese automaker has recently announced that Makoto Uchida will step down as CEO effective April 1, 2025. According to Nissan’s official statement, current Chief Planning Officer Ivan Espinosa will take the helm as the new CEO. Uchida will maintain his director position until the annual general meeting of shareholders scheduled for June 2025, ensuring a structured transition of leadership responsibilities.

      Next-Gen Audi R8 Set To Be Based Upon Lamborghini’s Temerario

      The upcoming Audi R8 will be continuing the tradition of being based upon a Lambo for the third time running.  For those who can recall the era of the Lamborghini Gallardo, they will likely also fondly remember that its parent company Audi handily helped itself to a few bits and bobs to create its own supercar — the R8. And it seems that history is set to repeat itself, as the successor to the aforementioned quad-ringed halo car is currently rumoured to be based upon the underpinnings of the new Temerario PHEV baby bull! While initially expected that Audi would…
