      Have You Heard Hyundai N’s Awesome Eurobeat Playlists Yet?

      Yes, Hyundai (of all people) have not one, but three(!) hour-long Eurobeat compilations on YouTube! When it comes to putting one’s foot down, to a certain subsection of drivers at least, there is no song genre more amenable to that than Eurobeat. This particular form of Italo-disco is after all the sound of Initial D, with its high energy tempo instantly transporting anyone who hears it on their boring commute to being behind the wheel of a certain panda Trueno barrelling down the fictional foothills of Mt. Akina.  Funnily enough though, despite Eurobeat being so entrenched with the Initial D…

      Chery Malaysia has identified for 600 units of Omoda 5s to be involved in this campaign. Following on from their prior statement but a day ago, Chery Malaysia has since followed up on the recently viral case of an Omoda 5’s rear axle spontaneously disassembling itself with the issuance of a service campaign. According to Chery Malaysia, this service campaign extends to 600 units of its Omoda 5 that has the same batch of axles as the one involved in the recent viral incident. Owners of the affected vehicles will be personally contacted by the manufacturer to schedule an appointment…

      2024 Mazda CX-5 2.2D High Facelift Review: Great Diesel, Old Car

      While the diesel is probably worth buying with the Mazda CX-5, this facelift probably is not. Refer review of 2021 Mazda CX-5 …is really all I would like to say when it comes to writing this review of this recently-facelifted Mazda CX-5. Such is because if being entirely blunt, the updates that have been made to this second revision of this Japanese crossover are to be so minor that likely only the biggest of Mazda nerds would notice what is new with it.  Seriously, if the list of notable changes that Mazda themselves have got to highlight goes down to…

      Physical Buttons May Return To Satisfy New Safety Standards

      Euro NCAP have signalled that physical controls may be necessary for new cars to net the highest safety scores.  To anyone who has been in any new car recently, it might not have escaped one’s attention for any minor fiddling of the vehicle’s settings to only be possible through its central infotainment display. Such is after all the general trend within the industry of removing any and all buttons throughout the cabin, in favour of burying settings behind layers of menus on one single screen.  Now of course, the replacement of many buttons with one single screen does cut down…

      The Donkervoort F22 Art Edition Is A Painting Capable Of 290 km/h

      This striking colours on this Donkervoort art car was painted on by Dutch artist Anneke Wilbrink.    In a refreshing change of pace against all the current grey blobs on our streets these days, Donkervoort has recently (and rather proudly) endorsed its first-ever art car. Dubbed the F22 Art Edition, this striking piece of fast art was created by award-winning Dutch artist Anneke Wilbrink, on the commission of long-time Donkervoort and art gallery owner Cees Lubbers.  A piece that came about when Lubbers desired an artwork for his gallery to represent him and all that makes him happy, this F22…

      The Many Nice Nissans That Are Not Available In Malaysia

      A look at the many nice Nissans out there, while we in Malaysia are still to be stuck with decade-old models… A couple of weeks ago now, one of the many random time-killing conversations that was had while being stuck in the notorious PJ rush hour traffic was somehow regarding time travel. And it just so happened that this topic came about right around the Section 13 area outside the Nissan showroom, which hence prompted the quip from me: “Just go in there if you feel like stepping 5 years back in time.” Now admittedly, this jab might have been…

      Volkswagen Takes The Polo Off-Road With A New Robust Variant

      This particular off-road ready Polo was built by Volkswagen Brazil for use in the nation’s farms.  Some time ago now back in the late 2000s, Volkswagen had rather amazingly foresaw the crossover trend and brought about the CrossPolo. This particular off-roadified subcompact lasted for two generations, before unfortunately being unceremoniously killed off before this latest iteration.  Though while the CrossPolo may be dead right now, the idea of a jacked up version of this small hatchback nevertheless lives on still in Brazil as the recently revealed Polo Robust. A Polo which going by its press bumph at least, was developed…

      Range Rover Velar HSE Facelift Review: Still Want That Cayenne?

      Could the overall cool Britannia vibe offered by this Range Rover Velar win over Cayenne buyers? For those in the market for a premium SUV over here, there is perhaps no choice more default now than the locally-assembled Porsche Cayenne. There is after all no other alternative in the market that offers that much grace, space and pace, at a price that not many buyers of these cars can refuse. But what say to those who might prefer to stand out from the sea of Cayennes out there in the golf club car park? Well handily, the recently facelifted Range…

      BYD’s New Shark Borrows F-150 Looks To Take On The Hilux

      This new pickup from BYD also should boast shark-like speed from its 480 hp PHEV powertrain.  Following closely on from BYD’s ambition to take on Tesla with its Model 3-rivalling Seal, the Chinese EV giant has since decided to challenge Toyota too with a recent tease of its new pickup truck. One which incidentally now finally has a name attached to it: Shark, to presumably chomp down on the whales that have long dominated this segment.  Though while there are still a few innuendos that can be made from that name, what is perhaps more pertinent to detail here is…

      Jetour’s Journey In Malaysia Will Be Kickstarted With Its Dashing

      The Jetour Dashing is rumoured to be launched locally sometime within the latter half of 2024.  As previously reported first on DSF.my, Chinese automaker Jetour will soon be landing in Malaysia. And while there was no word yet then on which models was to kickstart its local debut, this mystery has since been solved with word of the Dashing being the one to kickstart this yet another subsidiary of Chery’s journey over here.  Starting from the very basics first for those who have yet to hear of this brand and as alluded to above, Jetour is indeed yet another automaker…

      Aston Martin DBX707 Finally Nets A Touchscreen In Its New Cabin

      Aston Martin has also elected to only offer the DBX707 after this particular update on its super SUV.  While the Aston Martin DBX707 was a rather sublime super SUV, one major gripe with it was for its cabin to not really be on par with the rest of the car. The tech within was especially, to put it kindly, old school, with the central (non-touch)screen still to be controlled by a click wheel that was found in Mercedes-Benzes from two generations prior.  Fortunately however, Aston Martin has since addressed this major complaint of its DBX by giving it an all…

      C3 Aircross Set To Kickstart Citroen’s Comeback In Malaysia

      This rumoured spearhead of Citroen’s return to Malaysia is apparently to cost below RM 100k.  For those in the market for an affordable family hauler, it might be worth holding out for a few more months yet. Such is because there may soon be a funky French alternative landing in Malaysia in the next couple of months, in the form of the Citroen C3 Aircross.  And if the whispers on the automotive grapevine is to be believed too, this upcoming debut model marking the return of Citroen locally might just give prospective buyers of the Honda WR-V and Proton X50…
