The Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team has had its ups and downs in recent years, mainly because after the introduction of the new F1 regulations in 2022, the team faced challenges in adapting to the ground-effect car design. This temporarily left their W13 and W14 cars trailing behind Red Bull in terms of competitiveness. However, the team has gradually closed the gap through technical upgrades in the latter part of the 2023 season. For Malaysian fans, the long-standing partnership between Mercedes and Petronas is definitely something to keep an eye on. Since they joined forces in 2010, they've clinched multiple Constructors' Championships together, and Petronas' advanced fuel and lubricant technologies have played a crucial role in boosting the team's performance. F1 car development often goes in cycles, with teams experiencing highs and lows as they adapt to rule changes. Mercedes has strong R&D capabilities and the experience from their eight consecutive titles, so they'll still be a force to be reckoned with in the future. Malaysia, as a key host country for F1 Grands Prix, has seen Mercedes shine at the Sepang Circuit in the past, and Petronas' collaboration with the team also showcases Malaysia's technical prowess in the high-end automotive energy sector.

As the flagship seven-seater SUV under Proton, the Proton X90 has a body size of 4,830 mm in length, 1,900 mm in width, and 1,800 mm in height, with a wheelbase of up to 2,850 mm. It belongs to the mid-size SUV category. Its spacious interior space is especially suitable for Malaysian family users, and the third-row seats can also provide a practical seating experience. This vehicle uses the CMA platform jointly developed with Geely, which performs well in terms of space optimization and body rigidity. It has a ground clearance of 200 mm, which enables it to handle the common rural roads or lightly unpaved roads in Malaysia. Compared with the Toyota Fortuner or Mitsubishi Outlander in the same class, the X90 has more advantages in terms of wheelbase and interior space, especially the legroom in the second-row seats is more generous. It's worth mentioning that the size design of the X90 also fully takes into account the urban environment in Malaysia. Although it has a large body, its turning radius is 5.7 meters, so it still maintains good flexibility in parking lots or narrow sections. For Malaysian consumers who value practicality, the size of the X90 strikes a good balance between the needs of family travel and the convenience of urban driving. Its 1,900-mm body width also ensures stability at high speeds, meeting the driving needs in the rainy weather of tropical regions.

The BYD Sealion 7 falls into the mid-size SUV segment. Its body dimensions and interior space make it suitable for family use. At the same time, it combines a certain sense of luxury with advanced technological features, meeting the current needs of Malaysian consumers for new energy SUVs. This vehicle is equipped with BYD's advanced electric technologies, such as blade batteries and high - efficiency electric drive systems, offering excellent range, which is ideal for both daily city commuting and long - distance trips. In the Malaysian market, the competition in the mid-size SUV segment is fierce. The Sealion 7, with its electrification advantages and intelligent features, provides consumers with more options. Additionally, the Malaysian government has been promoting the popularization of electric vehicles in recent years, including offering tax incentives and building charging infrastructure, making electric vehicles like the Sealion 7 even more appealing. If you're considering buying an environmentally friendly and practical SUV, the Sealion 7 is worth your attention. It's also advisable to compare it with other models in the same class, such as the Tesla Model Y or the Toyota bZ4X, to make a more suitable choice for yourself.

The most expensive version of the 2025 Toyota Camry in the Malaysian market is expected to be the top - spec model equipped with a hybrid system. It usually comes with a 2.5 - liter Dynamic Force engine and THS II hybrid technology, offering a combined horsepower of up to 218. It's paired with an E - CVT transmission. The price may exceed RM200,000, depending on local import duties and configuration upgrades (such as a panoramic sunroof, JBL audio system, premium leather seats, and the TSS 3.0 intelligent safety system). This model focuses on balancing fuel efficiency and performance, with a fuel consumption of about 4.1L/100km. It suits Malaysian consumers' concerns about the high - oil - price environment. Also, it has a prominent resale value in the local used - car market. Notably, Toyota's hybrid technology has an optimized battery cooling design for tropical climates, which can adapt to Malaysia's hot and humid conditions. While competing models in the same class, like the Honda Accord Hybrid or Mazda 6, have their own features, the Camry still holds an edge with its brand reputation and wide - spread after - sales network. It's advisable to compare the warranty terms and road tax costs of different brands before making a purchase.

The Honda City Hatchback belongs to the B-segment cars. It measures 4345mm or 4369mm in length, 1748mm in width, and 1488mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2600mm. Some models have a length of 4345mm, while some RS versions are 4369mm long. With such dimensions, the vehicle is highly flexible when driving on urban roads and convenient to park. In terms of interior space, the 2600mm wheelbase ensures a relatively spacious cabin. Both the headroom and legroom for passengers are ample, which enhances the riding comfort. A reasonable ratio of length, width, and height not only improves the visual effect of the vehicle's appearance, but also optimizes aerodynamic performance, reduces air resistance, improves fuel efficiency, and boosts stability during high - speed driving.

Currently, the Honda City (the 6th generation model from 2020 to present) is equipped with a 1.5L i - VTEC naturally aspirated engine (L15B). For a standard oil change (including replacing the oil filter), the total engine oil capacity is approximately 3.3 to 3.5 liters. If you only drain the oil without replacing the filter, the oil filling volume is about 3.0 liters. Honda recommends using fully synthetic engine oil. The recommended viscosities are 0W - 20 or 5W - 30, such as the Honda Genuine Ultra or Ultimate series. This type of oil can adapt to the tropical climate in Malaysia and optimize fuel efficiency. When filling the oil, you need to check the oil level with the dipstick to ensure it is between the MIN and MAX marks. Over - filling may affect engine performance or cause damage to the oil seals. It is recommended that car owners change the engine oil according to the official maintenance schedule (every 10,000 kilometers or 6 months) to keep the engine running in the best condition.

The tire pressure of the Honda Accord is generally recommended to be between 32 and 35 psi (pounds per square inch). The specific value may vary slightly depending on the model year, tire type, and load. Owners can find the official recommended value on the label on the driver's side door frame or in the user manual. In the hot climate of Malaysia, tire pressure may fluctuate due to temperature. Therefore, it is recommended to check the tire pressure at least once a month, preferably when the tires are cold to ensure accuracy. Maintaining the correct tire pressure not only improves fuel economy but also ensures driving safety and extends tire life. It's worth noting that over - inflated tires can cause excessive wear in the center of the tire and reduce traction, while under - inflated tires can increase fuel consumption and the risk of a blowout. If you frequently drive long distances or carry heavy loads, you can appropriately adjust the tire pressure to the upper limit of the recommended range. For models using run - flat tires, the tire pressure requirements may be higher. It is recommended to strictly follow the manufacturer's specifications. If you are unsure how to proceed, you can go to a Honda authorized service center or a professional tire shop for assistance. They can also provide free tire pressure testing services.

The maintenance costs of the Toyota Hilux in Malaysia vary based on the model, usage, and service intervals, but overall, it falls within the affordable range. For common 2.4L or 2.8L diesel variants, routine maintenance is typically performed every 10,000 kilometers or 6 months (whichever comes first), with costs ranging from RM350 to RM600. This includes basic replacement items such as engine oil and filters. For major service intervals, such as every 40,000 kilometers or every 2 years, which involve additional items like transmission fluid and brake fluid, costs can be around RM1,000 to RM1,500, depending on the specific inspection items involved. The Hilux’s durability and the lower dependency on imported parts (with some components produced locally) help keep long-term maintenance expenses manageable. However, maintenance related to key components such as the turbocharger or four-wheel drive system may incur slightly higher costs. It is advisable to have regular maintenance performed at authorized Toyota service centers to ensure the validity of the factory warranty. Owners can also refer to Toyota Malaysia’s “Scheduled Service Guide” for more precise cost estimates. Additionally, performing simple tasks like replacing the air filter on your own can slightly reduce long-term expenses, but be sure to ensure that it does not affect the warranty terms.

The Toyota model that is quite similar to the Lexus UX is the C-HR. The C-HR features a stylish exterior design that emphasizes dynamism and individuality. It is equipped with an efficient powertrain that offers a smooth driving experience. Inside, the cabin is well-appointed, focusing on comfort and technology. However, despite the similarities between the C-HR and the Lexus UX in certain aspects, the Lexus UX stands out with its higher-end brand positioning, luxurious features, and more refined details.

Alright, car lovers. That ABS light on your dashboard? It stands for Anti-lock Braking System, and if it's glowing, your car's telling you something's off. Could be a wonky sensor, a wiring hiccup, or maybe the hydraulic module needs a once-over. Best bet? Swing by a repair shop soon so they can hook up a diagnostic scanner and figure out exactly what's going on. Now, what does ABS actually do? When you hit the brakes hard, it stops your wheels from locking up, letting you still steer. Super crucial, especially on Malaysia's slippery roads during the rainy season. But here's the thing: it doesn't make your stopping distance shorter. It's all about keeping you stable and in control. If the ABS light pops on along with the handbrake light? That's more serious. Maybe your brake fluid is low, or there's a bigger issue with the braking system. Don't mess around—pull over safely and check it out right away. For day-to-day care, keep those wheel speed sensors clean. Dirt and grime can throw them off, making the ABS light come on when it shouldn't. And don't forget to check your brake fluid regularly. ABS relies on hydraulic pressure, so fresh, clean fluid is a must. One last thing to remember: even if the ABS light is on, your regular brakes should still work fine. You just won't have that anti-lock safety net. So, give yourself extra space between you and the car in front—better safe than sorry, right?
