2024 Isuzu D-Max 3.0L 4×4 Single Cab (MT)

As a high-performance front-wheel-drive vehicle, the Honda Civic Type R is highly sought after in the Malaysian market. However, potential buyers need to be aware of its common issues. For example, the tire noise is quite noticeable during high-speed driving, which is related to the high-performance tires and the stiffer suspension tuning. Long-term driving may require more frequent tire replacements. In addition, the turbocharged engine may experience slight heat attenuation when driven aggressively in hot climates. It is recommended to install additional cooling components. The Type R's aggressive body kit has low ground clearance. When passing over some speed bumps or ramps in Malaysia, caution should be exercised to avoid scratching the front lip. In terms of the interior, the extensive use of hard plastic materials may cause rattling noises after long-term use. Moreover, although this car has a high resale value, its maintenance cost is also higher than that of the regular version. In particular, the replacement costs of the exclusive Brembo braking system and the adaptive suspension are quite high. It's worth mentioning that the 2.0L VTEC turbo engine of the Type R requires regular checks on the condition of the ignition coils and fuel injectors. The humid climate in Malaysia may accelerate the wear and tear of these components. Despite these minor issues, the Type R's track-level handling performance and the pure driving pleasure offered by its 6-speed manual transmission still make it a standout in its class. It is recommended that potential buyers conduct a detailed test drive before purchasing and set aside enough budget for later maintenance.

The battery lifespan of Mercedes-Benz C-Class can vary significantly. For conventional gasoline models, the designed battery service life is approximately 27 months, with a typical practical lifespan of about two years. Under conservative private usage patterns, a new battery may last 3-4 years initially, but subsequent replacements generally require renewal every two years. Taxi vehicles experience much shorter battery life - approximately one year for single-shift operation and just 8-10 months for double-shift usage. For hybrid versions like the C260 equipped with a 48V mild hybrid system and lithium-ion battery, normal maintenance and usage typically yield about 6 years or 200,000 kilometers of battery service. However, this duration may be influenced by multiple factors including driving habits, road conditions, and climate. Maintaining optimal battery longevity requires conscientious driving and maintenance practices. Regular vehicle inspections also help ensure the battery remains in peak condition.

To reset the transmission of Ford Ranger, you can follow these general steps: First, turn off the engine and wait for a few minutes. Next, restart the vehicle while keeping it stationary in Park (P) position. Then, step on the brake pedal, and quickly press the accelerator pedal to the floor and release it, repeating this procedure several times. Please note that specific procedure may vary depending on the model year and configuration of the Ford Ranger. If this method is ineffective, we recommend consulting a professional automotive repair shop for assistance.

Yes, Lexus LC can be considered a relatively rare vehicle. In Malaysia, the Lexus LC series falls into the luxury car category, distinguished by its unique characteristics and high price—for instance, the 2020 Lexus LC 500 is priced at RM 1,205,217, while the 2018 LC 500 is RM 1,242,000. Its limited availability is caused by factors like high production and component costs. These cars are not mass-produced like conventional models. Featuring a two-door, four-seat layout and powered by a robust 5.0-liter V8 engine, they are equipped with advanced safety and luxury features, positioning them as niche products. Furthermore, the high price reduces the number of potential buyers. Consequently, compared to mainstream vehicles, spotting a Lexus LC on the road remains uncommon.

As a luxury SUV, the Porsche Cayenne has relatively high maintenance costs in Malaysia, which mainly depend on the model year, power configuration, and maintenance items. The cost of regular maintenance such as oil changes and filter replacements is approximately between RM1,500 and RM3,000, while major maintenance like transmission fluid replacement and brake system inspections can reach over RM5,000. The specific costs still need to refer to the official maintenance manual or the quotes from authorized service centers. In addition, Porsche models usually use high - performance components. Therefore, the cost of replacing vulnerable parts such as tires and brake pads is also higher than that of ordinary brands. It is recommended that car owners perform regular maintenance to extend the vehicle's lifespan and maintain optimal performance. For Malaysian car owners, choosing an officially authorized Porsche service center for maintenance not only ensures the use of original parts but also provides professional inspection services. Although the cost is higher, it can effectively avoid potential problems caused by non - regular maintenance. If car owners want to further control costs, they can also consider purchasing Porsche's maintenance packages. These packages usually offer certain discounts and cover multiple basic maintenance items.

Whether the Hilux can carry 1 ton depends on the specific model. Generally, standard Hilux models are not designed to carry loads of that weight, and overloading could cause serious damage to the vehicle’s suspension, frame, tires, and braking system, compromising safety on the road. However, Toyota offers a model called the HiLux Champ targeted at the Southeast Asian market, which is classified as a heavy-duty pickup with a payload capacity of 1,000 kilograms, namely 1 ton. The HiLux Champ is available in both short and long wheelbase configurations, with wheelbases of 2,750 mm and 3,085 mm, respectively, and overall lengths of 4,970 mm (short wheelbase) and 5,300 mm (long wheelbase). When it comes to the HiLux Champ, it can safely carry 1 ton of cargo within its specified load range. However, standard Hilux models typically struggle to safely accommodate such a load.

The Toyota Corolla Cross was launched in Malaysia on January 14, 2022.

The Volvo XC90 does have a certain degree of autonomous driving assistance features. However, strictly speaking, it can't completely "drive itself." It is equipped with Volvo's Pilot Assist system, which can provide steering, acceleration, and braking assistance under specific conditions. For example, it can achieve semi - autonomous driving on highways or in congested traffic. Nevertheless, the driver still needs to stay focused and be ready to take over control at any time. In Malaysia, these features are applicable on closed roads such as the North - South Expressway. But due to local regulations and road conditions, the system can't handle complex traffic environments, like sudden motorcycle cut - ins or unmarked country roads. It's worth mentioning that autonomous driving technology is divided into different levels from L0 to L5. The Pilot Assist of the XC90 belongs to Level L2, which means it's still an assistance tool rather than a replacement for the driver. Malaysian consumers should note that even when using these features, briefly taking your hands off the steering wheel will trigger an alarm from the system. This is to comply with global safety standards. As Malaysia's autonomous driving regulations improve and infrastructure is upgraded in the future, Volvo may release more advanced features through OTA updates. But currently, the application of autonomous driving technology by all brands in Malaysia must comply with the limitations of local traffic regulations.
