      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…

      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…

      This proposed merger will initially be between Honda and Nissan, before Mitsubishi joins in the future.   Honda and Nissan are currently reported to be in discussion for a potential merger, and it also appears for this upcoming tie-up may be a threesome that includes Mitsubishi in the future as well.   Rumours of these two Japanese automakers tying the knot have incidentally begun swirling for a few months already, but it was only very recently that news of this merger really begun picking up steam.

      The Public EV Charging Ecosystem In Malaysia Still Sucks

      The supposedly simple act to charging up an EV in public over here is still one that is fraught with frustration.  Here’s just a little snapshot of how convoluted and frustrating the public EV charging process can be in Malaysia. Warning: this is going to be a rant.   Disclaimer: Before the EVangelicals bombard the comments calling for this writer’s head after reading what is written below, this writer readily admits here that what was experienced is a confluence of unfortunate events. That said, it does nevertheless clearly show that the public charging ecosystem in Malaysia still has a long…

      A PHEV Proton e.MAS 7 WILL Eventually Be Launched In Malaysia

      The big question now is whether this e.MAS 7 PHEV will be close in price to its all-electric sibling.  The Proton e.MAS 7 has certainly piqued the interest of Malaysians currently considering an electrified transition, especially as early impressions of it shows that the roaring lion marque has indeed brought to the segment a car that is likely both better and cheaper than all its competition.  But just before putting down an order for one of these first EVs from the Malaysian automaker, those who may not be entirely convinced of a fully electric future just yet should note that there…

      Toyota November Sales In Malaysia Down By 20% Year-On-Year

      It has to be said though that Toyota still managed to sell 8,400 cars over here in November alone.  If a recent sales report from Toyota over here is any indication, it really does seems that the deluge of Chinese car makers has finally managed to steal a chunk away from the traditional Japanese players,   The Japanese automaker had recently posted that is sold 8,400 cars in November 2024, with its year-to-date total currently standing at ‘approximately 89,500 units’. This is in contrast to last year, where Toyota managed 10,263 sales in November, with its year-to-date total of 97,705…

      BYD Atto 3 & Dolphin Will Soon Be Produced In Hungary

      The bigger news though is for BYD to soon also be rolling out an ‘Atto 2’ for Europe in the coming years.  While Europe is trying its darnedest to stem the flow of Chinese EVs into its land, arguably the biggest player in that segment has already been laying the foundation to sidestep whatever tariffs the bureaucrats in Brussels enact. Such is as BYD has already begun construction of a production site for its cars in the old Continent, with its Hungary plant soon to roll out the Atto 3 and Dolphin from 2025.   BYD previously had intended for…

This is incidentally to be second time that the tri-diamond has received this particular award in as many years, as last year’s prize was scooped up by its Delica Mini super height-wagon kei-car. A…
