Various models of Sonata have different engine displacements. For example, the 2020 Hyundai Sonata 2.5 Premium has a displacement of 2497cc. Its engine can deliver ample power, meeting the needs of drivers who have certain requirements for power. The 2017 Hyundai Sonata 2.0 Elegance and Hyundai Sonata 2.0 Executive both have a displacement of 1999cc, which are suitable for consumers who pursue a smooth driving experience. Engines with different displacements will vary in terms of power performance, fuel consumption and so on. Consumers can choose the model that suits them according to factors such as their own driving habits and daily travel needs.

None of the models in the 2022 Perodua Alza lineup are equipped with a turbo engine. Its powertrain features a 1.5-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated gasoline engine (coded 2NR-VE), with a maximum output of 106 horsepower and a peak torque of 138 Nm. It is mated to a D-CVT transmission, focusing on fuel economy and family practicality needs. Although this car doesn't have turbocharging technology, its power performance is sufficient for daily urban commuting and family trips. Moreover, the naturally aspirated engine has a relatively simple structure and lower maintenance costs, making it suitable for Malaysian consumers who value practicality. If you're interested in turbocharged models, you can keep an eye on Perodua or other competing models in the same class from other brands, such as the Proton X50. However, it should be noted that while turbo engines can enhance power performance, they may bring higher maintenance costs and fuel requirements. Overall, the 2022 Alza is designed to focus more on space utilization and cost-effectiveness, which is in line with Perodua's consistent market positioning.

The Hyundai i10 models available in the Malaysian market are equipped with a 1.2-liter Kappa four-cylinder engine instead of a three-cylinder configuration. This naturally aspirated engine uses multi-point fuel injection technology, with a maximum power of 87 horsepower and a peak torque of 120 N·m. It is paired with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission, which is suitable for urban commuting needs. For Malaysian consumers, the smoothness and durability of four-cylinder engines are usually more favored, especially in congested sections with frequent stops and starts. Compared with three-cylinder engines, they produce less vibration and have relatively stable maintenance costs. It's worth noting that in recent years, some small cars have adopted a three-cylinder design to reduce fuel consumption, but the four-cylinder structure still has advantages in terms of the linearity of power output and high-speed stability. It is recommended to make a choice based on your own driving habits and budget before buying a car. At the same time, you can refer to the actual test comparisons of vehicles in the same class by Malaysian automotive media, such as the performance differences between the three-cylinder Perodua Axia and the four-cylinder Proton Saga, to make a more comprehensive decision.

The Chevrolet Malibu holds its value moderately well in the Malaysian market, with used car prices varying significantly based on factors like model year, trim level, mileage, and service history. As an American midsize sedan, it doesn't quite match the local visibility of its Japanese or German rivals, but its solid chassis tuning and spacious interior still appeal to a specific group of buyers. When properly maintained and in good condition, a 3-5 year-old Malibu typically retains around 50-60% of its original value. It's worth noting that Malaysian consumers generally prefer fuel-efficient and reliable Japanese cars, which indirectly impacts the resale market for American models. We'd advise owners to keep complete service records and avoid extensive modifications—both go a long way in preserving residual value. Additionally, sticking with popular colors like white or silver can help when it comes time to sell. Overall, while the Malibu isn't a top performer in terms of depreciation, it remains a practical choice for buyers who prioritize comfort and value for money.

As the flagship all - electric model of the brand, the maintenance costs of the BMW i7 in Malaysia vary depending on different service items and packages. The cost of regular maintenance (such as battery inspection, brake system check, tire rotation, etc.) is approximately between RM800 and RM1,500, while major maintenance (including coolant replacement, high - voltage system inspection, etc.) may exceed RM2,500. The exact cost should be based on the packages and labor fees provided by the official authorized dealers of BMW Malaysia. It's worth noting that the maintenance cost of electric vehicles is generally lower than that of fuel - powered vehicles, as traditional consumables like engine oil and transmission fluid are no longer needed. However, the professional testing equipment for high - voltage batteries and motors has relatively high requirements. It is recommended to choose a 4S store with EV certification to ensure the service quality. Malaysian users can also pay attention to the "Service Inclusive" maintenance plan regularly launched by BMW. This plan allows users to lock in long - term costs through prepayment and includes extended original factory warranty services. In addition, the general maintenance cycle for electric vehicles is every 20,000 kilometers or 24 months. However, the actual cycle needs to be adjusted according to driving habits and climatic conditions. For example, frequent use of air - conditioning in tropical regions may increase the load on the battery cooling system. It is advisable to shorten the inspection interval to maintain optimal performance.
