Reports from Japan suggest that the next-gen 2027 Honda HR-V is projected to make its debut sometime in late 2027 to 2028, per automotive media portal Repsonse JP.

Cumulative registration data from January 1st to May 31st, 2026, reveals a distinct shift in the distribution of market share across the Malaysian automotive industry.

In May 2026, Malaysia's overall passenger vehicle market remains highly concentrated at the top. The Proton Saga secured the absolute number-one spot nationwide with 7,337 units, closely trailed by the Perodua Bezza at 7,079 units.

Set to launch later this year, the Hyundai Stargazer is an important model for Hyundai Malaysia, as it is set to be the company’s most affordable model, with an estimated price of RM 99,XXX for the entry-level Style variant.

At the ongoing 2026 Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (2026 KLIMS), much of the visitors to Perodua’s booth would be focused on the Perodua C2 Concept, but hiding in plain sight, is what we believe could be a teaser of the next-gen Perodua Myvi.

Sitting at the Perodua booth at the ongoing 2026 Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (2026 KLIMS) is this Perodua QV-E. But don’t let the boyracer looks fool you, as there’s more than meets the eye with this particular unit.

GWM’s presence at KLIMS 2026 tells the story of a brand that has outgrown its early identity as an ORA electric-hatchback importer. Between the Haval H6 HEV and the recently launched WEY G9 Hi4 PHEV, the ORA Good Cat now serves as the entry point to a much broader new-energy portfolio. The 2026 model arrives with a new 57.7 kWh LFP battery and significantly lower pricing, restating its case in a M

In Malaysia, the price of a pickup or body-on-frame SUV has never been just a sticker figure. It is a bet on residual value, finance accessibility, and how quickly the vehicle can be moved in the used market five years later. The Toyota IMV Origin at KLIMS 2026 demands attention because it sits at the center of the country’s most entrenched commercial and family-offroad ecosystem—one built over tw

The Kia EV4 is important not because it is larger or more premium than the EV9, but because it brings Kia's electric portfolio closer to mainstream buyers. According to Kia Europe's release, the EV4 is the brand's first all-electric hatchback, built on the E-GMP platform and offered in Hatchback and Fastback body styles. In a KLIMS 2026 context, its role would be very different from the EV9. The E

The Kia EV5 sits much closer to mainstream family buyers than the EV9. The EV9 works as a flagship, carrying Kia's electric technology image with size and presence. The EV5 is a more conventional five-seat electric SUV, designed to bring Kia's dedicated EV platform thinking and Opposites United design language to a broader customer base. According to the Kia release shared by Eric, the EV5 global

At KLIMS 2026, the Mazda3 arrives without the elevated ride height or battery-electric fanfare that dominates much of the exhibition floor. As a hatchback and sedan offering, it occupies a lane that has grown narrower in Malaysia’s market, where crossovers and SUVs have absorbed significant buyer attention over the past half-decade. Yet the Mazda3’s presence here is deliberate. Its Kodo design lan

Mazda has maintained a steady Japanese non-national brand footing in Malaysia, with the CX-5 and CX-8 serving as the backbone of its local sales for years. At KLIMS 2026, the CX-80 signals a deliberate step up by Bermaz Motor—a bid to reclaim authority in the three-row SUV space rather than relying on the ageing CX-8 to hold the line.

MG’s presence at KLIMS 2026 is understandably dominated by the rollout of its first locally assembled EV, the S5 EV, which emerged from the Melaka plant earlier this year. Yet walk the floor and the MG HS remains a fixture of the stand, serving as a reminder that the brand’s Malaysian ambitions rest on more than a single electrified launch. As SAIC Motor Malaysia accelerates its CKD localisation s

Nissan’s display at KLIMS 2026 carries a clear priority: the Serena e-POWER. Launched locally in March 2026 through Edaran Tan Chong Motor, the model arrives as the brand’s most important new product in years, one that swaps conventional petrol-MPV logic for a series-hybrid setup that asks nothing of the owner in terms of charging behaviour.

At KLIMS 2026, the Proton X70 occupies a position that is less about spectacle and more about continuity. While attention across the exhibition hall gravitates toward battery-electric newcomers and sub-brand launches, the X70 remains the tangible representation of Proton’s current SUV competence. It is the model that has carried the marque’s presence in the upper mainstream segment through years o

Nissan's presence in Malaysia has long been anchored by Edaran Tan Chong Motor's established service network rather than aggressive sales surges. At KLIMS 2026, the Kicks e-Power does not arrive with claims of chart-topping volume. Instead, it serves as a strategic placeholder, introducing the brand's e-Power series-hybrid architecture to a market where charging infrastructure remains a persistent

KLIMS 2026 is dominated by electrification headlines and SUV launches, yet the Proton Saga remains a fixture on the national carmaker's stand. While media attention gravitates toward the recently updated S70 sedan and the expanding Proton eMAS electric sub-brand, the Saga occupies a quieter but strategically vital position. It represents the most accessible rung of Proton's internal-combustion ran

At KLIMS 2026, the Proton S70 arrives with a brief that feels increasingly rare in Malaysia: a mainstream C-segment sedan developed for buyers who still prefer a three-box profile over the high-riding alternatives that now dominate showroom floors. While crossovers and SUVs have absorbed much of the market’s attention, Proton has not abandoned the segment that once defined its identity. The update

KLIMS 2026 highlights Malaysia's widening electric-vehicle spectrum, from premium SUVs to family crossovers. Yet the market's long-term health depends on what happens at the entry level. The TQ Wuling Bingo EV, launched in late 2025 and now entering its customer delivery phase, is the most significant test of that lower threshold. Priced from RM62,800 at launch and assembled locally at Tan Chong's

The Dongfeng BOX story in Malaysia did not begin at KLIMS 2026. An article on Dongfeng Cars Malaysia's website refers to the earlier right-hand-drive reveal by Central Auto Distributors Bhd, a subsidiary of PEKEMA, with the key talking points being 95 PS, up to 430 km of range and an intended launch around October. The later local launch report placed the actual Malaysian introduction on 22 Novemb
