Q

which police station to report car accident malaysia

If you're involved in a car accident in Malaysia, you are required to report the accident to the nearest police station. For accidents causing injury or property damage, under Section 52 of Malaysia's Road Transport Act 1987, you're legally required to notify the police within 24 hours. In the case of minor collisions where both parties come to a mutually agreeable resolution, a formal report may not be necessary, but it's still smart to file a record at the station to protect your interests. In the Klang Valley area, go to the Kuala Lumpur Traffic Police Headquarters or your state's traffic police branch. For other states, your local district police station will handle it. When reporting, bring your IC, driver's license, vehicle registration card, and insurance documents. It also helps to have on - site photos or witness contact info to speed up the investigation. An important note: If there's a third party involved and liability isn't clear, call the police immediately and contact your insurer right away—this avoids complications later in the claims process. Even if you settle privately, Malaysian law experts recommend getting police to file a record to prevent the other party from backtracking later, which could lead to legal headaches. A good practice for all drivers: Keep a copy of Malaysia's accident procedures guide and an emergency contact card in your car. Having these on hand ensures you can take the right steps quickly when things go wrong.

Q
What is the #1 most sold car?
Currently, the best-selling car brand in Malaysia is the local brand Perodua, which sold 359,904 units in 2025, firmly securing the top spot in the market. This figure far exceeds the 151,561 units sold by Proton (ranked second) and 129,085 units by Toyota (ranked third). Perodua's main models include the economical compact cars Axia, Myvi, and Bezza. With their affordable prices (e.g., the Axia's starting price ranges from approximately 30,000 to 50,000 Malaysian ringgit) and practical features, these models have consistently ranked among the top three in vehicle sales. Notably, local brands collectively account for over 50% of the market share. Among them, Perodua's Bezza emerged as the best-selling single model in 2025. While Chinese brands such as Chery and BYD have shown significant growth (with year-on-year increases of 60% and 68%, respectively), their market shares remain relatively small. Among Japanese brands, Toyota maintains steady demand for its Hilux pickup truck and Innova MPV, but its overall sales are constrained by more affordable local models.

Q
What luxury car is the cheapest to maintain?
In the luxury car segment, models with the lowest maintenance costs typically feature support from brand-authorized third-party service centers, stable parts supply, and transparent pricing for regular maintenance items. Take Ferrari as an example: entry-level models like the 296 GTB (approximately RM 1,556,000) or Portofino M (approximately RM 1,092,920) have relatively manageable annual maintenance costs. A single regular maintenance service costs around RM 300-600, with annual expenses totaling approximately RM 1,200-2,400 (including basic items such as engine oil and filters). Choosing non-factory-authorized but technically qualified repair shops can further reduce costs by 20%-30%. In contrast, ultra-luxury brands like Bugatti may incur single maintenance service costs reaching tens of thousands of ringgit due to exclusive parts and complex powertrains (such as the W16 engine). It should be noted that the maintenance cost of luxury cars is also affected by vehicle age. Used luxury cars from 2019 to 2022 (such as the Lexus LS or Mercedes-Benz S-Class) usually have maintenance costs 15%-25% lower than new cars, as compatible parts can be used outside the warranty period. Additionally, while hybrid models (such as the Porsche Panamera E-Hybrid) require specialized inspections for battery maintenance, the simplified structure of the electric motor system reduces the maintenance frequency of traditional drivetrain components.

Q
Which car brand is the safest?
In the Malaysian market, multiple car brands excel in safety performance, with Volvo, Mazda, and Toyota standing out due to their advanced safety technologies and stringent certification standards. The Volvo XC60 is renowned for its Pilot Assist automated driving system and comprehensive collision protection, consistently earning five-star safety ratings from international authoritative institutions. Mazda recently had eight models receive IIHS's top safety rating of TSP+, including the CX-50 and the new energy model EZ-6, which features the i-ACTIVSENSE system integrating core functions such as Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) and Lane Keeping Assist (LKA). The Toyota Corolla has been certified by Malaysia's Ministry of Transport, meeting UN vehicle safety standards, and comes equipped with features like Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). While local brand Perodua primarily focuses on economical models, its vehicles such as the Bezza have also passed government retests, fulfilling basic safety requirements. Notably, vehicle safety relies not only on brand technologies but also compliance with mandatory indicators in Malaysia's certification system, including collision safety, braking performance, and lighting/visibility standards. Consumers can prioritize models certified by both ASEAN NCAP and UN WP29 for dual assurance.

Q
Which car is famous in Malaysia?
Malaysia's most famous automotive brands are local ones: Proton and Perodua, which together hold over 60% of the market share. Established in 1983 as a national brand, Proton is highly favored by family users with its SUV models like the X70 and X50, as well as economy sedans such as the Saga and Persona. Its latest pure electric model, the e.MAS 7, has become a technological benchmark with a consumer-friendly starting price of 109,800 Ringgit. Perodua, on the other hand, focuses on compact and practical models such as the Bezza, Myvi, and Axia. It sold 169,847 units in the first half of 2024, maintaining its position as the top-selling brand. Among Japanese brands, the Toyota Corolla Cross and Honda hybrid models perform notably well, while China's Chery OMODA 5 is the only imported vehicle to rank among the TOP 30 in sales. In the luxury car segment, Mercedes-Benz and BMW, represented by Naza, along with the locally handcrafted supercar Bufori, cater to high-end demands, while the pickup truck market is led by the Toyota Hilux. These brands collectively form a diverse automotive ecosystem, addressing needs ranging from economical commuting to high-performance scenarios.

Q
Who owns a Bugatti in Malaysia?
Currently known Malaysian owners of Bugatti include Tunku Ismail, the Regent of Johor, who recently purchased the world's first limited-edition Bugatti Tourbillon hypercar for over 18.35 million ringgit. The car is equipped with an 8.3L V16 hybrid system, delivering a combined output of 1800 horsepower. In addition, members of the Johor royal family own several other Bugatti models, such as the Divo and Bolide. The Divo features a classic blue-and-black paint scheme, while the Bolide is a track-only hypercar limited to 40 units worldwide with a base price of 4 million euros. Notably, Malaysia imposes high taxes on imported hypercars (import duties of 70-200% plus sales and service taxes of 60-100%), so some owners choose to register their vehicles in low-tax countries or keep them overseas long-term. According to investigations by the Anti-Corruption Commission, Jho Low, a figure involved in the 1MDB scandal, once acquired a special edition Bugatti Veyron using illegal funds, and the car is currently impounded by the German police. Bugatti owners in Malaysia are predominantly royal family members or affluent individuals. Its rarity and exorbitant ownership costs (which can reach several times the original price after taxes) make it a quintessential symbol of elite wealth.
