2024 PROTON X50 launched today - More refinement, better inforainment performance and more for the same price

The newly upgraded Proton X50 has been launched but if you look at the photos here, you'd not notice it. This isn't a facelift folks, but more of a real upgrade underneath. It has more sound proofing, so better NVH (less noise, vibration and harshness), the larger infotainment screen is shared on all models, a more powerful CPU and more RAM for the infotainment system, better response on the dual clutch transmission and the two top models get the auto tailgate (previously only the highest Flagship variant). So while nothing has changed in terms of looks, and pricing as it actually comes in like previously, you get a better can and with the current early bird promotions, a lot of your money's worth for what is PROTON's best selling B segment SUV.

2020 Perodua Bezza Facelift launched - Expects to Deliver 5,600 Units by End of January, Meaning They Have Produced A Lotta Units Prior to Launch


Perodua has launched the 2020 Perodua Bezza today. Aside from the fact that this is a facelift with slightly refreshed looks and better equipment inside, the Malaysian car manufacturer has also stated that they have already produced a lot of the new Bezza and expects to deliver some 5,600 units in January 2020. This is the story of really ensuring that there are more than adequate stocks of a car model available. Quite an interesting achievement in my opinion as we have always heard of products being launched and deliveries only start some time later.

This is the 2019 Volkswagen Passat 2.0 TSI Highline.

We had a go at it when it was launched and recently, we had another go at it courtesy of Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia. This to me is a recap to this outgoing model as you can already see plastered on the Volkswagen Malaysia homepage, the teaser pages of the very soon to be launched, 2020 Volkswagen Passat Facelift.

The Facelifted 2019 Proton Saga Has Been Launched - More Affordable, Better Styling & More Equipped inside


The new 2019 Proton Saga has been launched. The 4 door sedan has been facelifted with updated styling, touch-screen infotainment system and four-speed auto are the most major changes to this car which was first launched in 2016. The most important thing is that with this new car is that it is priced below RM40,000 (top spec before insurance). It now offers better value for money and a better drive. Quite interesting in terms of value proposition.

Selamat Hari Raya - Site Updates and Do Note that We Have Not Been Quiet..We're on YouTube!

Videos - 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe preview - 2019 Proton Iriz Facelift Test Drive - 2019 Proton Persona Facelift Test Drive- 2019 Proton Exora Launch, Prices & Details




Selamat Hari Raya AidilFitri...Maaf Zahir & Batin. No updates here but we have not been quiet during this month of Ramadhan. We did quite a few videos over on YouTube folks so while we have been taking a break from writing, we have not been stopping doing videos, which is why I do suggest you people subscribe to the Motoring Malaysia channel over on YouTube.

I have to say that YouTube is the future as more and more people like moving pictures. It isn't as easy to produce compared to writing but both have their challenges. Personally, writing is nice as it allows your poetic side to use words to convey a picture within one's mind. As for video, it is easier to record, but on a personal note, I prefer to make our videos have better production values rather than just doing one long take and talking about a certain vehicle.

Note that I do like editing my videos so that it becomes somewhat like a mini documentary with a lot of B-Roll showing the vehicles rather than just a hand doing a walkaround.

Anyway, here are some of the videos which I have not updated here as yet. There is one on the facelifted Proton Iriz & Persona and on the newly available for sale here in Malaysia, 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe SUV. Not forgetting we have the launch video of the slightly revised 2019 Proton Exora 1.6 Turbo 

We should be active again after hibernating during this fasting month!!! Stay tuned for more videos!
