BMW Group Malaysia Previews the Locally Assembled All-New 2021 BMW X7 xDrive40i Pure Excellence

BMW Group Malaysia today previewed several of their 2021 models from the BMW, BMW Motorrad and MINI brands here in Kuala Lumpur. One of these models was the locally assembled variant of the All-New BMW X7 xDrive40i Pure Excellence. This is the only top of the range luxury SUV that has been locally assembled locally (well, if you don't consider the Volvo XC90 luxurious enough, which actually some do not) and with this, the brand has reaffirming their investments in the local automotive landscape through one of the brand’s many progressive pillars. On a more financial note, it makes the new X7 slightly more affordable for those that want one. This is always a good thing as the savings could allow the new owner to buy an Omega wristwatch or two with the spare change.

Video: Preview of the All-New 2021 Hyundai Elantra 7th Generation (CN7) in Malaysia - Extra Thoughts and Photos Inside



Alright folks! The All-New 2021 Hyundai Elantra (CN7) C segment sedan has been previewed in Malaysia and we had a chance to attend the media preview. Thanks to Malaysian distributors Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors. So as usual, we made a video about it. These are our thoughts about the actually gorgeous looking compact sedan (which actually isn't so compact these days as cars have gone larger by a fair bit). Malaysia is getting only 1 variant, the 1.6liter normally aspirated SmartStream engined variant with a Hyundai IVT (CVT for you and me) 8 virtual speeds transmission. It is fully imported, open for bookings and whilst prices have not been announced yet it should not be around RM120K but more closer to the RM140k mark as it is fully loaded with a lot of features.

Mercedes-Benz C 200 AMG Line Launched for the Malaysian Market - Offered with the 2.0liter Turbocharged Engine Again


Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has introduced the new C 200 AMG Line and compared to the current C 200 Avantgarde which was essentially the entry level C-Class here, this is what most of us would want. And it is priced slightly cheaper too - RM251,587.39 over RM259,000 when the C 200 AV was launched in February of 2019. Most likely due to the lack of sales tax due to the tax holiday but I'll take it as a drop nonetheless.
