Sharing the limelight will be the smart #1, which will be making its very first public appearance in Malaysia at EVx 2023. Now a 50/50 JV between Geely and Mercedes-Benz, smart’s revival comes in the form of a fashionable compact crossover that’s not unlike a MINI Countryman. It even sits on a dedicated EV platform that’s shared with the Lotus Eletre (which will also be at the show!). Last but certainly not least is the BYD Dolphin, soon to be one of the most affordable electric vehicles in Malaysia. It will be at EVx for a public preview before its official launch on July 27, where you will

Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia (LLM) memaklumkan pelaksanaan Proof of Concept bagi sistem Aliran Bebas Pelbagai-Lorong atau Multi-Lane Fast Flow (MLFF) dengan memilih Lebuhraya Sungai Besi (Besraya) sebagai lokasi pertama akan menggunakan gabungan teknologi Identifikasi Frekuensi Radio (RFID) dan Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) selewat-lewatnya hujung Oktober ini. Menurut LLM, keputusan untuk menggunakan kedua-dua teknologi berkenaan telah diteliti dan diputuskan di peringkat Jawatankuasa Teknikal MLFF, Makmal Value Assessment dan Makmal Value Engineering yang diadakan dengan

Those who crave the spotlight gravitate toward luxury SUVs like the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, supercars such as Ferraris or Lamborghinis, and big trucks like the Ford F-150 Raptor and Ram TRX. But where do you turn when your friends already have all the headturners? Enter the MegaRexx MegaRaptor. It’s about 9,200-pounds of attention-commanding truck that can stand out from the crowd and tow a go-fast boat at the same time. Lamborghinis can’t tow a boat. Just sayin’. At about $150,000, depending on the configuration, it fits within the price spectrum of the aforementioned vehicles, but the

Based on Hyundai-Kia’s flexible Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), the three-row SUV measures 5,010 mm long and 1,980 mm wide, with a wheelbase length of 3,100 mm. The EV9 is very big family car with a footprint that’s larger than even the US-market Kia Telluride, which wheelbase is 200 mm shorter. Maximum wheel size, as seen here, is 21 inches. The EV9’s design is guided by the brand’s ‘Opposites United’ design philosophy and is fronted by a ‘Digital Tiger Face’, the latest iteration of the brand’s ‘tiger nose’. The face features a ‘Digital Pattern Lighting Grille’ and vertical

While the interior design isn’t a radical departure from existing models, Mercedes-Benz did go to great lengths to cram as much technology into the cabin as possible. There’s even a selfie camera which allows users to participate in online video conferences and take photos or videos when the car is stationary. At launch, Mercedes-Benz says the E-Class will support TikTok, the Angry Birds game, the Vivaldi browser as well as Webex and Zoom. The entertainment portal Zync is also included for streaming services. Mercedes-Benz E-Klasse | 2023: Routinen ( Displayinhalt kann von Serienstand

Whether the reported investment plans in Thailand as well as that suggested by the Headlight report has anything more than a palpability to it is uncertain, but what we do know is that Geely is set to invest USD10 billion (RM45.6 billion) to turn Tanjung Malim in Perak into the region’s largest auto city, as revealed by prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim last month. While this investment is expected to centre around the development of Proton-related models, it doesn’t discount the possibility of Proton providing contract assembly for the wider Geely group in the future, as it has excess

Giving it the beans along Big Tujunga Highway in Southern California’s Angeles National Forest, this 2024 Ford Mustang EcoBoost feels familiar but different. Dynamically, the seventh-generation Mustang doesn’t change much, but it has a lot more technology to experience behind the wheel. The seventh-generation Mustang, known internally as S650, is little different than the last-generation S550 version. That’s alright because we felt the S550 generation Mustang graduated from pony car to sports car, especially with the 2018 update that better sorted out the independent rear suspension added

Some of you might be aware of thieves stealing catalytic converters in Malaysia, something that has been happening with increasing frequency lately. The catalytic converter is part of a car’s exhaust system, and thieves have been targeting cars parked at LRT/MRT stations to steal them. Each catalytic converter is worth anything from RM500 to RM2,500. Thankfully, police have managed to catch two men involved in various catalytic converters thefts in the Klang Valley. But we don’t know if this is the end. What is a catalytic converter and why is it so valuable? A catalytic converter is a

The smart #1 is the first fruit of the new smart era, and it’s making its Malaysian public debut at the paultan.org EVx 2023 event, which is now open to the public at Setia City Convention Centre. smart Malaysia had a media preview earlier this week at Proton’s design studio and test track, and the images you see here are from Tuesday. There’s an embargo in place for the #1 interior, so we can only show you the cabin next month. The new smart is an EV-only brand, and the #1 sits on Geely’s Sustainable Electric Architecture (SEA), a modular EV platform that also underpins the likes of the

The top Eletre R variant features dual motors with does 0-100 km/h in just 2.95 seconds while the 80-120 km/h gap is done in under 1.9 seconds. Top speed for the Eletre R is 265 km/h, and its claimed WLTP range from the same 112 kWh is 490 km. In all variants, an 800-volt architecture enables a 10-80% quick charge capability in just 20 minutes, described simply as via a DC connection. Word we have received on Eletre pricing in Malaysia is that even the top Eletre R variant will not breach the RM1 million threshold, even with all options selected. Indicative pricing for the base of the range
