• Proton eMas 7 PHEV open for booking – 3 variants, 2 battery choices, up to 996 km WLTP, RM110k-130k est

  In Cars, Local News, Proton / by Jonathan James Tan / 13 January 2026 7:19 pm

  

  You already know all there is to know about the Proton eMas 7 PHEV from a product and variant standpoint, and now, the first eMas with an engine and exhaust pipe (sorry, we don’t think we’re going to call it a “dual-powered EV”) is open for booking in Malaysia. Also, no more camo, so feast your eyes on this avalanche of photos – in the flesh at last!

  The estimated price is between RM110k and RM130k and the launch will be in February ahead of deliveries soon after. Of course, there’s an early-bird package – book the eMas 7 PHEV for just RM99 and get a RM500 booking fee rebate if your car is one of the first 5,000 to be successfully registered.

  Now, because the eMas 7 PHEV isn’t actually launched yet, the RM129,800 Chery Tiggo 7 PHEV is still Malaysia’s cheapest PHEV for now. We expect the final prices to be below the estimated ones, of course, so let’s wait for the launch to officially declare it the country’s most affordable plug-in hybrid.

  

  Essentially a Geely EX5/Starray/Galaxy Starship 7 EM-i, the China-imported (CBU) eMas 7 PHEV sees a 99 PS/125 Nm 1.5 litre BHE15-DFN non-turbo engine join forces with a 218 PS/262 Nm front motor to send a combined output of 262 PS and 262 Nm of torque to the front wheels.

  The petrol engine is closely related to the Saga MC3’s BHE15-CFN. Still port-injected, but it’s been made simpler and lighter for higher efficiency, runs on an Atkinson cycle full time as opposed to part time, has just single- instead of dual-VVT, and features efficient exhaust gas recirculation (EGR).

  Furthermore, the engine’s lack of an auxiliary belt minimises parasitic losses – no belt-driven air-con compressor and inverter. And like the Saga, it uses a timing chain so there’s no timing belt either. The engine’s thermal efficiency is 46.5% – slightly lower than in China, which gets an updated version that’s more efficient and more powerful – 111 PS and 136 Nm of torque.

  An 11-to-1 electrified dedicated hybrid transmission (E-DHT) combines a P1 integrated starter-generator and P3 traction motor. The system works similar to Honda’s e:HEV in that the car is driven primarily by electricity but the engine can be clutched in at higher speeds, when petrol power is more efficient. It’s a series-parallel plug-in hybrid and not an EV, so it’ll have engine size-based road tax and wear black number plates.

  There are Prime, Premium and Premium Plus variants. The bottom two get an 18.4-kWh CATL LFP battery, an 83-km EV range, a 943-km combined range, DC charging up to 30 kW (30-80% in under 20 minutes) and an eight-second 0-100 km/h time.

  The range-topping Premium Plus gets a 29.8-kWh Geely Aegis short blade LFP battery, a 146-km EV range, a 996-km combined range, DC charging up to 60 kW (30-80% in under 16 minutes) and an 8.2-second century sprint time.

  All ranges quoted above are on the more-realistic WLTP cycle – Proton has, in a departure from usual, chosen to market this model using NEDC figures, clearly to more closely match its rivals. The combined NEDC ranges are 1,065 km for the Premium Plus and 1,000 km for the Prime and Premium, their corresponding NEDC fuel consumptions are a claimed 4.4 and 4.3 litres per 100 km, and their respective NEDC EV-only ranges are 170 and 105 km.

  

  

  

  Moving from WLTP to NEDC is certainly a backwards step, as the former is clearly more realistic and closer to what customers will eventually get in the real world. Proton eMas has long championed the use of WLTP, against most of its NEDC-toting competitors.

  Where combined range is concerned, the eMas 7 PHEV loses out against the Chery Tiggo 7 PHEV (1,200 km) and Jaecoo J7 PHEV (1,300 km) mainly because its fuel tank is smaller at 51 litres versus 60 for both Chery Group products. In terms of actual fuel efficiency, it’s the Proton that has the edge.

  At 8.0-8.2 seconds, the eMas 7 PHEV is slower than its EV sister (6.9 seconds) to 100 km/h, but quicker than its turbocharged PHEV rivals from Jaecoo and Chery (both around 8.5 seconds). And while we’re comparing against those, the eMas 7 PHEV also has the longest pure EV range, and quicker DC charging too.

  A 51-litre pressurised fuel tank, 6.6 kW AC charging, 170 km/h top speed, vehicle-to-load (V2L) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) capabilities are common to all variants.

  

  

  

  Exterior-wise, the eMas 7 PHEV differs from the EV in its split headlamps (DRLs above, headlamps below), full-width front LED bar (except Prime), a different front bumper and regular door handles (the EV’s ones are hidden/pop-out/flush/recessed/retractable – call ’em whatever you like). The rear number plate’s been moved up from the bumper to the tailgate, allowing a minor rear bumper redesign.

  Same tyre and wheel sizes as the EV (225/55 R18 for the Prime; 235/50 R19 with Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance SUV rubber for the rest), but the PHEV is given a new multi-spoke design. Suspension? Like the EV – MacPhersons up front, multi-links out back. It runs a global set-up; no ‘Proton ride and handling‘. The drag coefficient (Cd) is 0.288, compared to the EV’s 0.275.

  Length, width, height and wheelbase are respectively 4,740, 1,940, 1,685 and 2,755 mm, making it 125 mm longer, 39 mm wider and 15 mm taller, and with a 5 mm longer wheelbase, than its EV sister. It’s also slightly larger than both the Chery and Jaecoo.

  

  Interior time. You’ll see that the cabin is pretty much similar to the eMas 7 EV‘s (making CKD easier and cheaper; China’s version has a different cabin) – no matter the variant, you get Flyme OS (with Bahasa Melayu support) powered by a 7nm automotive-grade chip, live charging map integration, a 10.2-inch LCD instrument cluster, a 2.5K 15.4-inch infotainment central touchscreen and leatherette seats.

  But unlike the EV, the PHEV gets a tonneau cover (except Prime) and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto from the get-go, plus physical sunroof controls (sunroof only on Premium Plus). To jog your memory, on the EV, you need to go into the screen to operate the sunroof. The button-like front seat backrest inserts have been changed from chrome in the EV to satin silver here to better match the rest of the cabin, but they also lose out on the small Proton logos that the EV has.

  By the way, the PHEV’s drive modes are Pure (that’s EV-only mode), Hybrid and Power, compared to the EV’s Eco/Comfort/Sport. Pro-Net says interior space is about the same as the EV – there’s 932 mm hip-to-hip between the front and rear seats, 125 mm of rear knee room and 73.5 mm of rear headroom, the last of which the carmaker says is class-leading.

  

  

  

  Let’s talk about variants and equipment. Literally the only differences between Premium and Premium Plus are the battery, max DC rate and sunroof.

  Both are otherwise equally equipped – powered tailgate, auto-folding side mirrors, auto-dimming frameless rear-view mirror, powered/ventilated front seats, fully-reclinable front passenger seat, rear centre armrest, 256-colour ambient lighting, tonneau cover, 13.8-inch head-up display, wireless charging, 16 Flyme Sound Wanos speakers including in the headrests, auto air-con, seven airbags including a centre airbag (which the Geely Galaxy E5 in China gets and our eMas 7 EV doesn’t), a 360 camera and front parking sensors.

  All the stuff mentioned in the preceding paragraph, the Prime doesn’t get, settling instead for six speakers, six airbags and a reverse camera. It also has the smaller of the two wheels offered and no full-width front LED bar (we’ve yet to clap eyes on this base variant, so what it looks like is still a mystery, as is the brand of tyres used – Giti like the eMas 7 Prime EV?).

  

  

  

  In terms of active safety, while all variants get AEB, ACC, ICC, lane functions, leading vehicle departure alert and traffic sign recognition, the Prime omits emergency lane keep assist, rear collision warning, rear cross traffic alert and braking, lane change safety warning, blind spot detection, door open warning and occupant detection alert.

  Pro-Net has been wildly inconsistent with its base variants – see, the eMas 7 Prime EV has full ADAS while the eMas 5 Prime has no ADAS (although it does have blind spot detection and RCTA). Now, the eMas 7 PHEV Prime has ADAS but no blind spot detection.

  The boot can take 528 litres; fold down the back seats for 2,065. This is quite a lot more than the EV’s 461 and 1,877 litres. The PHEV’s 100-litre hidden underfloor storage is also 49 litres up on the EV, although it loses the EV’s under-seat drawer because that space is now taken up by the fuel tank.

  You can have your eMas 7 PHEV in Obsidian Black, Lithium White, Mercury Silver, Galena Grey or Aquamarine Blue, while the interior can be had in either Alabaster White or Onyx Black. The service interval is 12 months/20,000 km and according to Pro-Net, the car is 41% cheaper over 10 years than a “same-segment ICE SUV” (the X70 is our guess) at RM29,200 versus RM49,800, including fuel and charging costs, and maintenance.

  By the way, Proton successfully completed its live-streamed stunt – driving a convoy of eMas 7 PHEVs (full tank and full battery) from Penang to Johor Bahru and then to Shah Alam before ending up at the Proton COE, covering 1,104.5 km with 189 km range remaining, averaging 4.0 litres per 100 km. It has to be noted that this was achieved with mostly highway driving and may not easily reflect real-world conditions.

• Honda shows new ‘H mark’, to debut on 0 Series EVs

  In Cars, Honda, International News / by Jonathan James Tan / 13 January 2026 5:33 pm

  

  Honda has unveiled a new ‘H mark‘ logo that will debut on its next-gen EVs (including the 0 Series) and hybrids beginning 2027, as well as dealerships, communication initiatives and motorsports.

  The ‘H mark’ was first adopted in 1963 to represent Honda cars and has undergone several design changes over the years. According to Honda, “the new design expression, like two outstretched hands, represents the commitment of Honda to augment the possibilities of mobility and sincerely serve the needs of the customers of Honda automobile business.”

  

  Honda Malaysia said last year that it would launch three EVs by 2027, not including the e:N1. The 0 Series could very well be part of them.

  Seven 0 Series models were first announced globally in May 2024 – a sedan, mid-size SUV, entry-level SUV, large three-row SUV, compact SUV, small-size SUV and another more compact sedan. Which of these do you think would be most suitable for our market?

• Proton promises courtesy car and free service for repair works over 3 days – valid for 2026 Saga and X70

  In Cars, Local News, Proton / by Jonathan Lee / 13 January 2026 4:34 pm

  

  During the launch of the new X70 last week, Proton’s director of after-sales Wan Hazran announced three after-sales commitments, promising to minimise time spent at service centres in a bid to increase consumer confidence in the refreshed SUV and its new engine.

  Firstly, the company said that cars entered for basic maintenance (engine oil and filter replacements only, i.e. 10,000, 20,000 or 30,000 km) will receive “fast service,” although exactly how long that service will take is unknown. This is for customers who make an appointment ahead of time and choose to stay on at the service centre instead of leaving the premises.

  For more involved maintenance procedures (say at 40,000, 60,000 or 80,000 km), Proton is promising a turnaround within 24 hours, and this applies for both appointments and walk-ins. But the biggest benefit is for customers whose repair works take more than three days.

  

  

  In this situation, the service centre will provide a courtesy car to use during this downtime, as well as a one-time free service offer the next time the customer comes in for scheduled maintenance. We’ve since been told that these commitments will be made for the new Saga, too.

  As a refresher, both the X70 and Saga come with a new 1.5 litre i-GT four-cylinder engine, in 181 PS/300 Nm turbo form in the X70 and as a 120 PS/150 Nm naturally-aspirated mill in the Saga. The latter has also been completely revamped with a new design inside and out, plus a brace of new technologies and driver assistance functions.

  Prices for the Saga start at RM38,990 for the Standard, rising up to RM44,990 for the Executive and RM49,990 for the Premium. As for the X70, its variant lineup has been streamlined to just two, the RM99,800 Executive and the RM112,800 for the Premium – both with the current RM7,000 launch rebate for the first 1,500 units, valid until March 31.

• Perodua purchased RM11b of parts from local vendors in 2025, will continue to play ‘nation builder’ role

  In Cars, Local News, Perodua / by Danny Tan / 13 January 2026 4:11 pm

  

  Perodua has just announced record sales of 359,904 units in 2025, which is 0.5% or nearly 2,000 units more than the 358,102 sold in 2024, the previous record. The market leader generally sells whatever it can make, so it’s equally as proud of the 370,370 units that rolled out of its gates last year, up 0.6% from 368,100 vehicles made in 2024.

  Perodua’s record production has led to a bumper year for the local automotive ecosystem, thanks to P2’s typical localisation rate of over 95% for its mainstream models, barring the QV-E, Rawang’s first foray into battery electric vehicles. For context, Proton purchased RM3.2 billion worth of local parts last year.

  “The entire Malaysian automotive ecosystem benefitted greatly with RM11 billion parts purchase from local vendors and at the same time empowering the country’s entrepreneurs such as Perodua’s authorised dealers and stockists,” Perodua president and CEO Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad said.

  

  “We will continue to play our role as nation builders as we further invest in Malaysia and its people by expanding our businesses, especially in the realm of EVs as well as digital offerings moving forward. We will further strengthen the partnerships we already have while at the same time find new partnerships that will benefit the local industry specifically and the country as a whole,” he added.

  Perodua Suppliers Association president Musa Zahidin Ahmad Zaidi said the carmaker’s increase in production volume and the subsequent increase in parts purchased had a big impact on its members.

  “The additional volume and the continued commitment from Perodua have allowed us to invest in the future and to re-invest in our operations. This means that we are able to expand our workforce, modernise our business and, for some of us, expand our business abroad,” Musa said.

  “Perodua has been instrumental in building a strong dealership network and with continued sales volume, we are able to grow our business despite the rising competition from new brands. To us, Perodua represents a brand that champions Malaysian businesses and genuinely share the industry’s prosperity with all Malaysians – for which we are very thankful,” Perodua Dealer Association president Rabitah Shamsudin said.

• Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio Malaysian prices higher than estimated, RM440k to RM480k for 2.0T Veloce

  In Alfa Romeo, Cars, Local News / by Gerard Lye / 13 January 2026 3:52 pm

  

  We now have official pricing for the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio, both of which marked the Italian brand’s return to Malaysia (again) in November last year. The sedan and SUV are offered in a sole Veloce variant and come fully imported (CBU) from Italy, with the first batch of cars expected to arrive sometime near the end of this month or early in the next.

  If you’re interested in the Giulia Veloce, the asking price is RM440,077.50 on-the-road without insurance, while the Stelvio Veloce retails for RM480,128. These figures are well above the initial estimate of RM400k announced for both models when order taking started during the brand’s relaunch.

  For the money, you’re getting Italian styling and an engine that offers relatively impressive performance. In Veloce guise, the Giulia and Stelvio share a 2.0 litre turbocharged inline-four petrol unit that serves up 280 PS (276 hp or 206 kW) at 5,250 rpm and 400 Nm of torque at 2,250 rpm.

  In the Giulia sedan, the Multiair engine is paired with a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels to enable a 0-100 km/h time of 5.7 seconds and top speed of 240 km/h. As for the Stelvio, it gets the same engine-transmission combination, but the SUV is with Alfa’s Q4 all-wheel drive system – same century sprint time but top speed is down to 230 km/h.

  Telephone-dial alloy wheels, a staple of Alfas, are present on both models, with the Giulia getting 19-inch units while the Stelvio gets a larger 20-inch set. Other items in the kit list include shift paddles, a Harman Kardon audio system, a wireless charging pad, an 8.8-inch infotainment touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, Level 2 ADAS (ACC, lane keep assist) and sport leather seats.

• Perodua sold 359,904 units in 2025, another record year of sales and production – est 43.9% market share

  In Cars, Local News, Perodua / by Danny Tan / 13 January 2026 3:07 pm

  

  Perodua sold 359,904 units in 2025, which is a new record for the perennial market leader. It’s 0.5% or nearly 2,000 units more than the 358,102 sold in 2024. That was the previous record, itself an 8.4% increase over 2023’s 330,325 units, which was then a record. The bar before that? 2022, of course.

  The productive people at Sg Choh generally sell whatever they can make, so with sales limited only by production, Perodua is equally as proud of the 370,370 units that rolled out of its gates in 2025, up 0.6% from 368,100 vehicles made in 2024.

  Market share follows the record-breaking trend. Perodua is estimating Malaysia’s total industry volume (TIV) to be 820,000 units for 2025 (we’ll get the official figures from the Malaysian Automotive Association later this month), and with that as the backdrop, P2’s market share would be 43.9%. The company’s market share in 2024 was 44%, so it’ll be some time more before Rawang sells half of all new cars in Malaysia, if it were to happen.

  

  As for who did what, the Bezza was the biggest sales contributor with 100,488 units sold in 2025. That makes it two consecutive years of sales above 100,000 units for the compact sedan, which is Malaysia’s most popular car. This is a remarkable achievement when you consider the Bezza’s age – it was launched back in July 2016 and is the oldest model in P2’s current range. Perodua’s second is the overall second – the Axia did 84,291 units last year.

  As of November 2025, the Proton Saga was in fourth place year-to-date, less than 1,000 units behind the Perodua Myvi that was clinging on to third. Alas, the Saga failed to prevent P2’s domination of the podium and the Myvi hung on with 72,724 units.

  “The Bezza, Axia and Myvi remained the top three models in terms of registration in the country and we are thankful to all Malaysians for continuing to support us as we thrive to offer better value through our offerings,” Perodua president and CEO Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad said in his constructors’ champion speech, adding that the impact of the recently-launched QV-E and Traz will only be seen in 2026.

  

  By the way, 2025 is the third year running that the 1-2-3 overall position went to the Bezza, Axia and Myvi respectively. In 2022, it was Myvi-Bezza-Axia and it 2021 it was Myvi-Axia-Bezza, as per 2020. In each year from 2020 to 2025, the Proton Saga was in fourth place.

  With a major refresh for 2026, can the Saga finally break Perodua’s stranglehold of the podium? Surely that has to be the minimum for a company that pledged to be Malaysia’s market leader (dislodge Perodua, in other words) and a top-three carmaker in ASEAN by 2027, a goal Proton reaffirmed in 2023.

  Speaking of ASEAN, Perodua’s record 2025 means that it has maintained its position as the second biggest carmaker in the region by sales, behind only Toyota. In 2024, P2 overtook Honda in the ASEAN league, which is remarkable given that P2 only sells cars in Malaysia with negligible exports to Indonesia.

• KTM unveils 2026 motorcycle range, two new “Beasts”

  In Bikes, International Bike News, KTM / by Mohan K Ramanujam / 13 January 2026 1:09 pm

  
  2026 KTM 1390 Duke Evo R

  Financial woes notwithstanding, KTM Motorcycles has unveiled its 2026 street motorcycle range. As expected, the lineup is dominated by the Duke naked sports motorcycles, ranging in capacity from 125 cc to 1,390 cc.

  New for 2025/2026 is the Duke 160, which will be available in selected markets to conform to licence requirements and consumer demand. Powered by a 164.2 cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder SOHC engine, the Duke 160 produces 19 PS at 9500 rpm and 15.5 Nm of torque at 7500 rpm, taking direct aim at its primary competition, the Yamaha MT-15.

  The Duke 390 now gets a new WP FCR4 brake calliper for improved stopping performance, replacing the previous Bybre unit. For 2026, the Duke 390 gets two new colour options, with other specifications remaining unchanged.

  The Duke 790, a.k.a. the “Scalpel” returns with the same parallel-twin engine but adds improved tech with the same 5-inch TFT display and switch gear as found on the revolutionary Duke 990. Meanwhile, the Duke 990 gets an all-new colour for this year, and comes with KTM’s four year Premium Manufacturer’s Warranty, while the Duke 990 R gets an 8.8-inch touchscreen TFT with offline map navigation, 130 PS, 103 Nm, and fully adjustable WP APEX suspension.

  
  2026 KTM Duke 160 (India)

  At the top of the range are the 1390 Super Duke R and 1390 Super Duke R Evo, claimed as the most extreme street iteration of “The Beast” to date. The 1390 Super Duke R Evo comes with semi-active suspension, cornering ABS, and rider aids.

  Come April, KTM says The Beast will get a performance upgrade. “April changes everything. Two of the most extreme DUKE models in the history of KTM will hit harder than ever before! Sharper. Lighter. Meaner. Power that resets expectations, precision that hunts apexes, torque that could turn the world on its own axis. Watch this space!“, said Gareth Davidson, Product Marketing Manager Street.

• 2026 C28 Nissan Serena e-Power Malaysian specs – 1.4L hybrid; ADAS with ProPILOT; seven-seat interior

  In Cars, Local News, Nissan / by Gerard Lye / 13 January 2026 12:16 pm

  

  In December last year, Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) previewed the sixth-generation (C28) Nissan Serena, which is set to go on sale as a locally-assembled (CKD) model in the first quarter of 2026. At the time, we were only allowed to show the exterior of the redesigned MPV as well as talk about the e-Power hybrid powertrain it will come with.

  Now, we can reveal a lot more of the C28 Serena, with the only missing piece of the puzzle being the price. For context, the C27 Serena facelift is offered in Highway Star and Premium Highway Star Package trims priced at RM149,888 and RM163,888 respectively.

  Starting with the interior, the new Serena gets a modernised dashboard that features a pair of 12.3-inch displays, one acting as the digital instrument cluster and the other being a touchscreen for the Nissan Connect infotainment system. The latter comes with support for wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, while rear passengers get to enjoy a ceiling-mounted 14-inch entertainment monitor.

  Below the central touchscreen is a volume knob followed by a large panel, which houses controls for the dual-zone climate system and push-button-style electronic gear selector. In the previous model, there was a gear lever in this area that partially obstructed a storage cubby behind it. With the reorganisation, that cubby is now placed further down and made larger to accommodate a wireless charging pad.

  

  Another exposed storage cubby that is carried over is located just above the glove box, although the covered one that was previously on the top dash in the C27 is now gone. Even so, you now get cupholders ahead of the corner air vents, which should prove to be practical along with the many other compartments throughout the interior.

  Another welcomed feature is an electronic parking brake that replaces the foot-operated system and this includes an auto hold function as well – the controls are to the left of the steering column. Other convenience features include tray tables for on the back of the front seats for second-row passengers, while access to the third row is made easy thanks to a switch for the power-sliding rear doors and dedicated pedal to slide the second-row seats forward.

  The Serena has a 2-2-3 seat layout, with zero gravity-inspired seats fitted to the first and second rows (latter has ISOFIX child seat anchors). There is a passthrough to third row that has 50:50 split-folding seats (no ISOFIX; middle seatbelt) that can also be unlatched and hooked to the sides if you need more cargo space. ETCM is touting no less than 13 seat configurations and that all passengers will have access to at least one USB-C port for charging devices.

  On the powertrain, the e-Power system features a HR14DDe 1.4 litre naturally-aspirated inline-three petrol engine making 98 PS and 123 Nm torque, which acts exclusively as a generator for a 1.77-kWh lithium-ion battery located under the floor between the front seats.

  

  

  

  

  The battery powers an electric motor rated at 163 PS (161 hp or 120 kW) and 315 Nm of torque that drives the front wheels exclusively. There is no mechanical link between the engine and wheels, so there’s no need for a transmission, which some may view as a blessing. Fuel economy is listed at 18.5 km per liter following the NEDC standard.

  Drivers will have Eco, Standard and Sport drive modes to cycle through, each affecting the level of regenerative braking you get. For more intense regen, you can engage B mode in the gear selector (the default is D), or put the car in e-Pedal mode for the strongest regen (one-pedal driving).

  ETCM is also keen to highlight measures taken to reduce motion sickness, which include smoothing the air flow at the front of the Serena via air curtains in the corners of the bumper. Additionally, the MPV features newly developed front suspension that is claimed to be SUV-based and includes a 20% more rigid stabiliser to suppress body roll and lateral motion.

  Drivers will also need to correct their steering less by 23% compared to the C27 when navigating corners as a result of increased suspension member rigidity (+50%) as well as higher rigidity and friction control (+40%) in the electric power steering system.

  

  

  

  On the braking front, optimised control over first-stage deceleration reduces pitch movement when you’re off the gas, allowing for gentler vehicle posture. The brake booster characteristics have also been tuned to reduce motion sickness so that the deceleration change is gentle during brake operation.

  Other measures involve the zero gravity-inspired seats, with the ones at the front sporting longer cushions than in the C27 to increase contact area for the better support. The bucket-type seat structure also maintains body posture to reduce unwanted movement, which lowers fatigue. NVH is also a cause of fatigue, so improved insulation and the adoption of acoustic glass help in this regard.

  In terms of kit, the Serena e-Power will come standard with a suite of driver assistance systems. These include functions such as forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning, rear cross traffic alert, high beam assist and an around view monitor.

  Nissan’s ProPILOT semi-autonomous driving suite is also standard and is comprised of adaptive cruise control, lane centring assist as well as blind spot intervention, the last of which gently applies steering or brake assist when attempting to make a lane change while a vehicle is detected in the blind spot.

  The Serena e-Power is introduced to us in a sole Premium Highway Star variant that comes with everything that has been mentioned so far. On top of that, you get tri-beam LED projector headlamps, LED daytime running lights, LED fog lamps, black Nappa leather upholstery, keyless entry and start with walk-away auto lock, six airbags and 16-inch wheels with 205/65 profile tyres.

  You get four exterior colour schemes to choose from, with the monotone option being Diamond Black. For two-tone options, they are Turquoise Blue, Brilliant White and Dark Metal Grey, all with a black roof. A five-year, 100,000-km vehicle warranty comes standard, while the e-Power components (motor, battery, energy management) are covered for eight years or 160,000 km.

  Lastly, dimensions. The C28 Serena measures 4,765 mm long, 1,715 mm wide, 1,870 mm tall and has wheelbase of 2,870 mm. By comparison, the outgoing C28 is 4,790 mm long (likely due to its protruding face), 1,740 mm wide, 1,865 mm tall and its wheelbase spans 2,860 mm. We’ve covered the C28’s styling in our initial preview, but in the time since, the MPV has already received a facelift – which look is more pleasing to you?

  Once again, the C28 Serena e-Power is set to go on sale in Malaysia in the first quarter of 2026. Given what you know about it now, are you looking forward to the MPV’s launch?

• Volvo EX30 recalled globally over potential battery fire risk – 2024 to 2025 Malaysian models affected

  In Cars, Electric Cars in Malaysia, Local News, Safety, Volvo / by Jonathan Lee / 13 January 2026 11:52 am

  

  Volvo has announced it will initiate a global recall for the EX30 over a potential fire risk with its battery. Among other nations, the issue affects certain units of Single and Twin Motor models sold in Malaysia between 2024 and 2025, Volvo Car Malaysia (VCM) confirmed today.

  A defect in the cells of the 69 kWh nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery, which comes standard in Malaysia, will in rare cases allow the battery to overheat when charged to a high level. In a worst-case scenario, this could lead to a fire starting in the battery. The carmaker noted that the number of reported incidents is very small – representing 0.02% of the identified affected units – and that no reports of personal injuries have been reported.

  

  The “target battery level” can be set in the Charging settings menu

  Volvo plans to roll out the recall as soon as possible, VCM said. In the meantime, owners are advised to avoid charging their cars beyond 70%. A charge limit can be set under the Charging settings menu in the infotainment touchscreen.

  The news comes as another Geely subsidiary Viridi E-Mobility Technology (Vremt) has sued battery supplier Sunwoda for 2.31 billion yuan (RM1.34 billion) over losses stemming from defective battery cells it received from the company between June 2021 and December 2023, according to CnEVPost. Vremt is controlled by Zeekr and supplies batteries to various vehicles in the group.

  For now, it’s unclear if the smart #1 and #3 and Zeekr X, all of which share much of the EX30’s mechanicals and use a similarly-sized NMC battery, are affected by the same issue.

• Proton eMas 7 in Singapore – detuned COE Category A version debuts with 136 PS, S$6,000 launch rebate

  In Cars, International News, Proton / by Jonathan Lee / 13 January 2026 11:03 am

  

  Just four months after launching the eMas 7 in Singapore, Proton is introducing a new variant of the electric SUV that conforms to the requirements of the island nation’s most affordable COE Category A. Debuting at the recent Singapore Motorshow, this model will help the carmaker better compete with the likes of Tesla and BYD, both of which have a fleet of Category A-compliant models.

  Compared to the original 99-unit, Category B Founder’s Edition, the front motor has been detuned from 218 PS (160 kW) to 136 PS (100 kW). No other details have been divulged so far, but we assume that it will have the same torque (320 Nm), the same Aegis short blade LFP battery options (49.52 kWh for the Prime, 60.22 kWh for the Premium) and the same range figures (345 km for the Prime, 410 km for the Premium) as before.

  Official distributor Vincar has yet to reveal prices as the car is only available for booking, but we can expect a circa-S$17,000 (around RM53,600) saving, going by current COE rates of around S$102,000 (RM321,600) for Category A and around S$119,000 (RM375,300) for Category B.

  

  The Proton eMas 5 was also previewed at the Singapore Motorshow

  As a refresher, the Founder’s Edition was priced at S$175,988 (RM555,000) for the Prime and S$179,888 (RM567,300) for the Premium. To sweeten the deal, the company offered a S$6,000 (RM18,900) rebate for those who booked the car during the event.

  Proton also took the opportunity to preview the eMas 5, which only recently went on sale in Malaysia in late October. Since it produces a maximum of 116 PS (85 kW), it already conforms to the Category A limit and will thus qualify for the lower COE rate.

  “The introduction of the 100 kW [eMas 7] for export markets demonstrates Proton’s readiness and adaptability to local regulatory needs and market demands, and going forward, it will be rolled out to other markets should there be a need for it,” said Proton International Corporation (PICSB) CEO Edmund Lim Meng Thong. “For 2026 we plan to grow export sales by strengthening our presence in current markets, exploring new countries, and introducing the latest Proton ICE and EV model offerings.”

• Penang water taxi plan can’t be realised yet due to technical and safety aspects – Anthony Loke

  In Local News, Public Transport / by Danny Tan / 13 January 2026 10:33 am

  

  Penang’s water taxi plan can’t be realised yet due to technical and safety aspects that need to be overcome, says transport minister Anthony Loke.

  He said that although the private sector has shown interest in the water taxi plan, any form of sea transport has to go through a stringent application and approval process that involves the transport ministry (MoT) and the Malaysia Marine Department (MMD or Jabatan Laut Malaysia).

  “Whatever transport mode, especially those involving the sea, must take into account the safety aspect. One, specific departments like the MMD, second, technical approval from Penang Port Commission (Suruhanjaya Pelabuhan Pulau Pinang) if entering its waters.

  “A water taxi service doesn’t just involves boats but also jetties, so there must be a landing location under MMD’s jurisdiction, where it regulates the safety aspect with the cooperation of the state government as it involves land and other things,” Loke explained, reported by Bernama.

  However, the Seremban MP said that the government welcomes any initiative from the private sector to invest and establish water taxi services in Penang as long as it fulfils all licensing and safety aspects. Prior to this, Majlis Bandaraya Pulau Pinang agreed to cancel a request for proposal (RFP) for water taxis after the company failed to fulfil its letter of intent in getting all necessary approvals from the MoT.

• New Mercedes-Benz CLA wins European Car of the Year 2026 ahead of Skoda Elroq, Kia EV4, Renault 4

  In Cars, International News / by Gerard Lye / 13 January 2026 9:57 am

  

  The third-generation Mercedes-Benz CLA has been named European Car of the Year 2026, beating out six other finalists to take the top prize. Available with either petrol of fully electric powertrains, the CLA is set to make its Malaysian debut this week.

  Securing 320 points from a panel of 59 jurors, the CLA held a comfortable lead over the Skoda Elroq that received 220 points. Other finalists include the Kia EV4 (208 points), Citroen C5 Aircross (207 points), Fiat Grande Panda (200 points), Dacia Bigster (170 points) and Renault 4 (150 points).

  According to an official release, the CLA received the most first places from the judges, with 22, while the Citroën C5 Aircross was the favourite of 15 journalists on the jury. The third most popular model was the Fiat Grande Panda, with nine first places, followed by the Skoda Elroq with 8. Meanwhile, the Kia EV4 received the highest ratings from two jurors, while none of them chose the Renault 4 this year.

  Renault won the European Car of the Year award two years in a row prior to the CLA’s 2026 win, with the Renault 5 E-Tech taking the crown in 2025, while the Renault Scenic E-Tech won in 2024. This is the second time in the history of Mercedes-Benz and the 62-year history of awards that the German brand has won the coveted trophy. The last time Mercedes-Benz won was in 1974 with the 450 SE/SEL.

• Mazda CX-6e – global EZ-60 is EV-only with 190 PS, 484 km WLTP range, 195 kW DC fast charging

  In Cars, International News, Mazda / by Jonathan Lee / 12 January 2026 8:06 pm

  

  Debuting at Auto Shanghai last April, the Mazda EZ-60 will finally be exported outside China this year – and as expected, it wears a new name, the Mazda CX-6e. Unlike in the Middle Kingdom where it is available with a range extender, the car is offered globally in pure EV form only.

  That means you get just a single powertrain option – a single rear motor producing 190 kW (258 PS) and 290 Nm of torque, juiced by a 78 kWh LFP battery for a claimed WLTP-rated range of 484 km; way off the 600 km quoted on China’s wildly optimistic CLTC cycle. Performance figures include a zero-to-100 km/h time of 7.9 seconds and a top speed of 185 km/h.

  You also get support for up to 195 kW of DC fast charging, topping up the battery from 10 to 80% in 24 minutes. The car also accepts up to 11 kW of AC charging, taking 8.5 hours for a full charge. As per the 6e sedan, the CX-6e was jointly developed with Changan and takes much of its hardware from the Deepal S07, albeit with a bigger battery and faster charging.

  Although the car was designed and built in China, the MacPherson strut front and multilink rear suspension has been extensively retuned by Mazda’s European R&D centre in Oberusel, Germany for more engaging handling and optimised power steering assistance. The brakes have also been tweaked to provide a smoother transition between regenerative and friction braking.

  

  The rest of the car is as we’ve seen before, including the striking design that looks all the world like an enlarged Mazda 3 hatch. Details include slim and sharp upper daytime running lights, illuminated shark nose-like closed-off grille, chiselled flanks, swooping low-slung glasshouse, slim L-shaped taillights and a gloss black floating roof.

  The CX-6e also features no less than nine ducts to channel air through the car, including on the leading edge of the grille and even the “flying buttress” C-pillars. Finishing off the look is the Nightfall Violet hero colour, with range-topping models featuring side-view cameras and fetching 21-inch “petal” alloy wheels that have the effect of reducing range slightly to 468 km.

  Inside, one can’t help but be drawn to the massive 26-inch infotainment touchscreen that spans the centre and passenger sides of the dashboard, with the driver instead getting a head-up display. The big screen integrates most vehicular controls such as the air con and features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a “Hey Mazda” voice control system.

  

  If need be, the CX-6e can be put into one of four vehicle modes, including a Pet Comfort mode if you need to step out while a pet or groceries are still inside. There’s also the ability to use hand gestures such as the “okay” sign to navigate home and even a “finger heart” to save a song to your favourites.

  Speaking of which, music is piped through a 23-speaker, 1,280-watt sound system that includes headrest speakers for both the driver and front passenger. Unique to the industry, you are able to connect each headrest speaker to separate Bluetooth devices, allowing the front occupants to play their own media and make phone calls without disturbing other passengers.

  The rest of the cabin is inspired by the ma, the Japanese concept of negative space, with silvery trim, gloss black touches and Maztex faux leather upholstery – the latter available in black, beige or a two-tone Amethyst and White to compliment the purple exterior option. The illuminated wing-shaped strip forms part of the ambient lighting system with 256 colours.

  

  

  

  As standard, the CX-6e comes with a panoramic glass roof with a visible light transmittance (VLT) of 35% and heat-reflective coating that rejects up to 99.7% of ultraviolet light. The boot is relatively small at 363 litres but you can fold down the rear seats to boost luggage capacity to 1,434 litres, and there’s also an 80 litre front boot.

  Safety-wise, the CX-6e comes as standard with a suite of driver assists such as autonomous emergency braking, lane keeping assist, blind spot monitoring with collision prevention, rear cross traffic alert with auto brake, a door opening warning, speed limit assist and a door opening warning. There’s also a rear seat reminder with camera-based child presence detection in keeping with EU regulations.

  The CX-6e could very well make its way to our region, given that the 6e is already on sale in Thailand. Whether it will make its way to Malaysia is another story and will likely hinge on whether Bermaz is able to assemble the car at the Inokom plant in Kulim, Kedah to benefit from CKD EV tax exemptions.

• 2026 Hyundai Staria Electric debuts – 84 kWh battery, 400 km WLTP estimated; seven- and 9-seater versions

  In Cars, Hyundai, International News / by Mick Chan / 12 January 2026 7:18 pm

  

  The Hyundai Staria Electric has made its debut as the first battery-electric version of the Staria range, joining the Korean brand’s MPV line that was facelifted last month.

  Featuring an 84 kWh lithium-ion battery that offers an estimated 400 km of range on the WLTP testing standard, this powers a 218 PS/350 Nm front-mounted electric motor, which propels the Staria Electric to a top speed of 184 km/h. Braked towing capacity is 2,000 kg, while unbraked towing capacity is 750 kg.

  The Staria Electric debuts in seven-seater Luxury and nine-seater Wagon configurations, with identical exterior dimensions; the battery-electric MPV measures 5,255 mm long, 1,995 mm wide and 1,990 mm tall with a 3,275 mm wheelbase; rolling stock is 17 inches in diameter. For luggage capacity the seven-seater Luxury variant will take up to 435 litres, while the nine-seater Wagon holds up to 1,303 litres.

  

  An 800-volt electrical architecture supports DC fast charging which enables a 10-80% recharge in around 20 minutes; Hyundai has yet to specify a specific DC charging rate. Meanwhile, AC charging is rated at up to 11 kW, and the AC charging port gets a heated cover to aid use in cold conditions, according to Hyundai.

  The dashboard architecture of the Staria Electric is essentially carried over from the 2026 Staria facelift, where a more straight-lined set of lines feature, along with a pair of 12.3-inch screens for driver instrumentation and infotainment, the latter supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

  Inside, the seating configurations of the seven-seater Luxury and nine-seater Wagon are differentiated by the second row, which is a pair of captain’s chairs in the Luxury, and a three-seater bench in the second and third rows of the Wagon. The sliding and foldable seating of the latter allows reconfiguring of the cabin for larger families, group travel or shuttle service applications, says Hyundai.

  

  

  

  

  The Staria Electric offers vehicle-to-load supply inside and outside the vehicle, as well as USB ports rated at up to 100 W. For ease of access, the seven-seater Luxury variant gets powered sliding doors and tailgate as standard; these are optional on the nine-seater Wagon variant.

  For advanced safety and assistance systems, the Staria Electric gets the Hyundai SmartSense suite of camera- and radar-based systems, including forward collision avoidance assist, lane keeping assist, lane following assist, highway driving assist, smart cruise control, and intelligent speed limit assist.

• 2026 Mazda CX-5 updated – 2.0G High gets 12.3-inch screen, body-coloured cladding; SUV less by RM10k

  In Cars, Local News, Mazda / by Gerard Lye / 12 January 2026 5:39 pm

  

  Bermaz Motor has quietly updated the 2.0G 2WD High variant of the Mazda CX-5 with a new accessories package that we’re told comes as standard for 2026 model year units, according to sales advisors. There are also changes to the SUV’s pricing since it was facelifted in January 2024, but we’ll get to that later.

  UPDATE: We’ve obtained the September 15, 2025 Mazda CX-5 price list, which already showed the price cut for the SUV. This post has been updated accordingly.

  Focusing on the 2.0G 2WD High, the new accessories package is valued at RM6,160, which is more than the previous package listed at RM2,410. Included are familiar items like Activ-e window film and LED-illuminated sill plates, both of which are joined by a driving video recorder (dashcam) that wasn’t present previously. Another addition to the package is a 12.3-inch touchscreen head unit which replaces the 8-inch system that was the previously the default across the CX-5 range.

  After fiddling around, the new unit appears to be an Android-based system with the Mazda Connect interface overlayed and providing the same level of functionality, including support for Android Auto (wired) and Apple CarPlay (wired and wireless).

  

  

  

  In addition to the above items, the revised 2.0G 2WD High is also identified by its body-coloured cladding which differs from other variants that still keep to their matte black pieces.

  On the matter of pricing, Bermaz Motor revised the CX-5’s price list back in October 1, 2025. This supersedes the previous price list effective September 15, 2025. As most companies would state in their documentation: prices and specifications are subject to change without notice.

  Comparing the October and September price lists, the latter already showing a price cut for the CX-5 for almost all variants except the 2.2D 2WD High, which got its price cut with the October price list. Recapping our October 2, 2025 report, the price adjustments compared to the initial figures for the CX-5 facelift are as follows:

  These prices are with a metallic paint finish, and it will still cost an extra RM3,300 if you want a premium hue (Soul Red Crystal and Machine Gray). The leather seat option (RM2,900) remains only available for the 2.0G 2WD Mid, with all other variants already coming standard with leather seats.

  Additionally, the window film, illuminated sill plates and new DVR are part of the updated standard accessories package for all variants, except the 2026 CX-5 2.0G 2WD High that gets more items, as mentioned earlier. The five-year warranty and free maintenance package continue to be included with each purchase.
