Membuat pilihan sebelum membeli kereta idaman sememangnya memeningkan apatah lagi jika senarai kereta yang dipertimbangkan memberikan tawaran nilai wang yang berbaloi dan hadir dengan spesifikasi yang diidamkan – varian, harga, waranti, penjimatan bahan api, spesfikasi, bilangan tempat duduk dan sebagainya.

Carsome menyenaraikan perbandingan lengkap antara model Honda City vs Perodua Bezza berdasarkan harga, spesifikasi dan ciri-ciri lain seperti berikut:

1. Enjin dan Kadar Penggunaan Minyak

Honda City merupakan salah satu model kereta sedan paling popular di Malaysia. Tidak hairanlah, model ini berjaya mengekalkan kedudukan
nombor satu di dalam segmen bukan nasional

untuk enam tahun berturut-turut. Ia merupakan antara jenama yang boleh dipercayai dengan prestasi yang mengagumkan dan dilengkapi dengan enjin petrol 1.5 liter.  Honda City 2020 dengan varian S, E dan V dikuasakan oleh enjin 1.5L DOHC i-VTEC berkuasa 119hp dan tork 145Nm serta dipadankan transmisi CVT. Kadar penggunaan minyak didakwa pada 5.4 liter per 100 km, atau 18.5 km/l.

Perodua Bezza pula menawarkan dua pilihan enjin – enjin petrol 1.0 liter dan 1.3 liter pemasaan injap bervariasi VVT-i (sebelum ini dikenali sebagai DVVT). Enjin ini mampu memberikan kuasa sehingga 67 hp pada 6,000 rpm dan tork 91 Nm pada 4,400 rpm. Selain itu, enjin jenis ini menjanjikan nisbah mampatan yang lebih tinggi, geseran yang lebih rendah dan pembakaran bahan api yang lebih baik. Ia sekali gus memberikan penjimatan penggunaan bahan api yang lebih efisien dan memberikan lebih kilometer bagi setiap liter petrol. Penggunaan bahan api bagi varian manual adalah sekitar 21.7 km/l dan 22.0 km/l bagi varian automatik empat kelajuan. Malah, varian automatik juga dikatakan lebih menjimatkan kerana didatangkan dengan
Eco Idle
 (sistem henti melahu).

Honda City Hatchback vs Honda City Sedan: A Battle of Specs

By

Haziq Asyraf

With the introduction of the Honda City Hatchback, which is currently exclusively sold in Thailand, Honda has once again disrupted the car industry with a new addition to its popular Honda City family.

The introduction of the Honda City Hatchback implies that Honda follows the footsteps of its rival Toyota, who brought out a hatchback version of the Toyota Vios, with Toyota Yaris.

This hatchback has also been rumored to be a replacement for the famous Honda Jazz in Malaysia. The Honda City Hatchback is set to make its appearance in Malaysia sometime this year but before that, here are the specifications of the Honda City in comparison to the Sedan and the Hatchback.

*Note: comparison and price are based on Honda City Hatchback that is
released in Thailand
.

Honda City Sedan VS Honda City Hatchback Specifications

Height

Wheelbase

2,589mm

According to the dimensions, the Honda City Hatchback is relatively smaller which is expected as it is similar to other hatchbacks – it can pack as much as humanly possible into the smallest space available.

However, the sedan might be the perfect car for families due to the spacious build as it can comfortably fit up to 5 adults comfortably.

Meanwhile, the hatchback is better suited for working adults and first-time car owners, who need a simple, no-hassle car that is small enough to navigate through Malaysian roads. Plus, it is much easier to drive and park a small hatchback especially in tight corners and small spaces.

Exterior Features

The front profile of both cars look similar as they share the same headlamp, grille, bumper, and bonnet design. The same characteristics continue down the sides as well, where a prominent line goes above both the car’s door handles, connecting both the front and backlighting units.

On the hatchback, the roofline is way longer to meet the roof spoiler that is placed just above the boot lid with a steep rear window. It also has its own tail light and rear bumper design.

The Honda City Sedan and Honda City Hatchback mostly have the same features but one obvious difference that can be seen in these cars is the size of the alloy wheels.

There are huge advantages to having alloy wheels aside from it being very stylish. Large alloy wheels, as seen on the Honda City Sedan, fills in the wheel arches better and are more in proportion with the rest of the exterior body. They have more road contact, wider thread, and stiffer sidewalls, which directly contribute to better cornering and handling.

Interior Features

Just like the exterior, the interior features of the Honda City Hatchback are pretty similar to its Sedan sibling. The dashboard is fitted with an eight-inch touchscreen ‘Advanced Touch’ head unit and large air vents, while on the center stack, there are controls for the air-conditioning system, a power outlet, USB ports, and a mini storage unit. The center console holds two cup holders, a gear stick, a handbrake, and more storage areas including one under the armrest.

One major difference between these cars is that the hatchback comes with Ultra Seats (allowing four-seat arrangements – utility, long, tall, and refresh mode) and offers more legroom than the former.

Utility Mode:
Expand your boot to accommodate a bicycle or other bulky items by flattening both rear seats.

Long Mode:
 Long objects are no longer a problem. Simply recline the front passenger seat and lower the rear seat to make room.

Tall Mode:
 Flip the rear seats up to create more floor-to-ceiling space to fit tall items such as plants and furniture.

Utility Mode:
 Long objects are no longer a problem. Simply recline the front passenger seat and lower the rear seat to make room.

Safety Features

Honda Sensing Features

So, Should You Go For a Honda City Sedan or Hatchback?

Both cars are relatively good driving vehicles and your choice ultimately depends on your lifestyle.

For working professionals, you might want to consider the Honda City Hatchback as it is a fuss, free car with most of the same features as the Honda City Sedan except that it is packed in a small, compact hatchback body.

While for families, you might want to consider the Honda City Sedan mainly due to its large size and better safety features.

Nevertheless, we hope this comparison will be able to help you pick your favorite Honda City when the hatchback is released in Malaysia this year. But one thing’s for sure: the Honda City Hatchback will sure be a fierce competitor to the available hatchbacks in the Malaysian market.

Model Honda Civic Sedan 2022 Generasi ke-11 Tertiris?

By

Ahmad Azwadie Azman

Kita telah melihat reka bentuk Honda Civic 2022 baharu dalam versi prototaip sebelum ini dan kini versi pengeluaran akhir – imej dikongsikan kredit kepada
 Civic11Forum
. Gambar-gambar ini memperlihatkan Honda Civic 2022 baharu versi pasaran China yang menampilkan reka bentuk yang sama seperti prototaip Civic sebelum ini. Namun begitu, ia kelihatan lebih kecil termasuk roda dan kemasan yang minimal.

Kredit:
Forum

Meskipun begitu, kami berpendapat Honda Civic sedan baharu ini lebih menarik berbanding model
Honda Civic generasi ke-10

sedia ada di pasaran. Lampu ‘ketam’ yang cukup sinonim dengan Honda Civic tidak diteruskan untuk Civic baharu ini. Model baharu menampilkan bahagian belakang yang lebih konvensional. Masih banyak yang perlu diketahui mengetahui Civic 2022 ini seperti
powertrain
 dan ciri-ciri yang akan ditampilkan. Namun begitu, Honda telah memberikan sedikit
sneak peak
 melalui video yang anda boleh saksikan di bawah.

Bahagian dalaman Honda Civic baharu ini memaparkan rekaan papan pemuka yang lebih menarik dan ringkas dengan skrin infotainment terapung (
floating screen
). Kami berharap Honda akan berkongsi lebih banyak maklumat rasmi mengenai Civic 2022 ini yang akan dilancarkan dalam masa beberapa bulan lagi. Menurut Honda, Civic generasi ke-11 ini dijangka mula memasuki pasaran pada pertengahan tahun ini. Kita mungkin akan berpeluang untuk melihat versi akhir model ini tidak lama lagi. Harga permulaan turut dijangka hampir sama seperti model semasa.

Honda HR-V, The SUV you never knew you Needed

By

Haziq Asyraf

Over the past couple of years, we have seen an increase in demand for Sport-Utility Vehicles(SUV). You can get literally everything that is in a four-door sedan plus so much more in an SUV, so it does not come as a surprise why more people have chosen to buy an SUV. Nearly all automotive brands have an SUV (or more) in its list of cars, so it does take something extra special for a certain car to stand out. And thanks to the new facelift that the
Honda HR-V
 received, this car has everything it needs to be in the SUV spotlight, from it’s sporty new looks to its extra safety features.

Here are some of the things that we absolutely loved about the Honda HR-V.

A car Built for Everyone

When we say that the HR-V is for everyone, we totally mean it! This SUV is manufactured in different variants to suit the different needs of consumers and their driving style. If you are looking for a fuss-free compact SUV for grocery runs and to pick up the kids from school, the Honda HR-V is perfect for you. It comes with a 1.8-litre petrol engine and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). It also comes equipped with paddle shift, smart entry with push start button and cruise control.

Looking for something that is good to the earth as well as has fuel efficiency? Then the new facelifted variant Honda HR-V Hybrid is just the one for you. Being the very first hybrid compact SUV in Malaysia, this car runs on the Sport Hybrid i-DCD system that ensures optimum fuel efficiency and an exhilarating performance. The HR-V Hybrid is powered by a high-power lithium ion battery and a 1.5-litre DOHC i-VTEC engine with direct injection, which, when put together, is the equivalent of a vehicle with a 2.0-litre engine. On the inside, the HR-V Hybrid features a cutting-edge Shift By Wire gearstick designed specifically for Honda Hybrid vehicles and also a 3D Illuminated Meter Cluster that shows your car’s energy flow and consumption.

If you want a car that stands out just like your personality, you should look out for the Honda HR-V RS. This car has all the normal HR-V features but with some extra flair like full leather upholstery with ivory finishing, an eight-way driver power seat (also available in the V variant), stylish anti-slip sport pedal and on the outside, sport type front grille and mesh type front fog garnish.

Sexy Exterior

With the new facelift, like we said, there is no doubt that the
Honda
 HR-V is one sexy, sporty SUV. The RS variant features a styling redesign that focuses more on its sporty appeal with chrome front grille, more angular auto LED headlights complete with LED daytime running lights that gives it a meaner front end. The side and the roof and the roofline are noticeably curvier too. These beautiful changes make the HR-V a sportier, sedan-like, rather than a boxy-SUV. Also, another thing that caught our eye is the 18-inch dual tone alloy wheel which gives it the extra sexiness.

Spacious Interior

A SUV is just a sedan if it’s not for its ample space, and the Honda HR-V is the SUV that is known for its extremely spacious cabin. This car literally has all the space you need in terms of legroom and boot-space. When you fold the rear-seats up, you can get 437L of spacious boot-space, and if the seats are folded away, the number goes up to 1,032L.

Although the HR-V Hybrid variant (404 litres with seats up, 991 litres with them down) takes up a little bit more space, it is still more spacious compared to other compact SUVs in the segment.

Advanced Safety Features

The Honda HR-V comes with the advanced safety features you can expect from a classy SUV:
six airbags, multi-angle rear-view camera, Electric Parking Brake, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) feature and your usual Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) and the Auto Brake Hold (ABH) function.

On the V and RS variants, the Honda HR-V also features LaneWatch system that helps you reduce blind spots on the passenger side so that you can change lanes safely.

Any time you flick your signals, the cameras will turn on at the multi-entertainment display, so that you know when’s the perfect time for you to switch lanes.

In conclusion, if you are looking for a SUV, the Honda HR-V should totally be in your list of choices due to the above reasons. For a more affordable option, you can check out used HR-Vs on

2021 Third Gen Honda HR-V

2021 Third Gen Honda HR-V

By

Haziq Asyraf

Update
: The latest 2021 Honda HR-V has been revealed as a compact hybrid crossover. Although this car is not the same with its predecessors in many ways (hint: sportier outlook), we can still see some of the classic HR-V features sprinkled here and there. It is also revealed to be a hybrid only variant.

Image Source :
Honda.co.jp

Moving on to the exterior styling of this car – Marketed in Japan as Vezel, the Honda HR-V 2021 is very much different from the classic HR-V, as it is more coupelike with a forward leaning rear hatch. It also looks wider and more angular thanks to the tall, wide headlights and the more vertical nose and with the numerous diagonal lines gone, this car looks way cleaner compared to the classic. You won’t be able to see the “Solid Wing Face” slatted grille as the slats appear to blend into the body work to “enhance the sense of unity with the body”.

Image Source :
Honda.co.jp

Inside, the design is based on the HMI (Human Machine Interface) concept. The meter and audio panel are laid out in a way that while you drive, you can also still enjoy the view. The switches are also arranged in a position that can be reached naturally without moving too much, enabling a smooth drive without interruption to the line of sight and flow of movement. Comfort is taken to a whole new level with the latest HR-V. Passengers are given a clear view of everything, inside and out and with the Panorama Roof with Natural Light (non-opening) and rear air conditioning vents, you will feel as if the inside and outside of the car are one.

Image Source :
Honda.co.jp

Pulling from the old HR-V again, the back seat still has the versatile split fold-down and flip-up functions. Exact dimensions for the interior and exterior have not been provided, though, so we’re not sure how much larger the new HR-V is.

This 2021 HR-V will be powered by the same 1.5 litre DOHC i-VTEC petrol engine and CVT as its previous models although the exact numbers are yet to be released. It will also feature the e:HEV hybrid powertrain which uses an electric motor to do most of the driving and the petrol engine to charge the battery.

Image Source :
Honda.co.jp

In Japan, where it is said to be released in April, this car will feature Honda Sensing suite of safety features. Some of the features that have been improved in terms of performance includes autonomous emergency braking, lane keeping assist and traffic sign recognition. There’s no exact date on when we would be able to see this latest HR-V in Malaysia, but the excitement of seeing this car soon is enough to keep us going.

Hybrid Cars Vs Petrol Cars

In the past, petrol was our only option to fuel up our cars, but now, we have more choices. You can now purchase cars that are powered by electricity or vehicles that use both electricity and traditional fuel like petrol, also known as hybrid cars. In this article, we will be making a comparison of the Honda HR-V which is available in both variants – Normal petrol-powered car and a Hybrid car.

But before that, do you know that no type is better than the other as each of this type has its own disadvantages and advantages. Here are just a few.

The main advantage of driving hybrid cars is that they are more environmentally friendly. As these cars combine fuel with electric, they have lower emissions than regular petrol cars do. Also, they tend to have better gas mileage too. Offering the power of a regular engine, but more energy efficient, hybrids are great for the environment. Not only that, but you can also save on the cost of fuel.

While hybrid cars have their advantages, these cars have a couple of disadvantages too. Firstly, as hybrid cars are smaller and more lightweight, they do not tend to handle as well as regular petrol cars do. Hybrids are also more costly to buy and maintain than regular cars are and as hybrids are built to be more efficient and economical, they are not as fast as regular cars.

Petrol Cars

Petrol vehicles are the most popular cars on the market. They’ve been around the longest and offer many benefits over all the other type of cars. The main advantage of petrol cars is that they are generally cheaper to purchase and maintain and also tend to handle better and are extremely efficient when it comes to speed.

Petrol is quite expensive, so fueling a patrol car is usually more expensive. The main disadvantage, however, of petrol cars is that they are not particularly energy efficient, and they are not particularly good for the environment either.

Safety

Both the Honda HR-V variants come with the advanced safety features you can expect from a classy SUV:
six airbags, multi-angle rear-view camera, Electric Parking Brake, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) feature and your usual Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) and the Auto Brake Hold (ABH) function.

One additional safety feature that is available on the Honda HR-V but not on the Hybrid variant is the
LaneWatch system that helps you reduce blind spots on the passenger side so that you can change lanes safely. Any time you flick your signals, the cameras will turn on at the multi-entertainment display, so that you know when is the perfect time for you to switch lanes.

As you can see from this comparison, the difference between a hybrid car and a normal car is not that much. Apart from the obvious difference like the engine performance and the price, both these variants are available with similar features. It all boils down to the type of car that you would like to drive. If you like something fast, you should opt for the Honda HR-V but if you are looking at a car with fuel efficiency, then the Honda HR-V Hybrid is made just for that.

A Detailed Look At The 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class

By

carsomeadministrator

Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the fourth generation W177 A-Class hatchback and it brings more than just a design update. In fact, the new A-Class showcases Mercedes’ new design language called ‘Sensual Purity’ which follows on seen recently in the 2019 CLS.

Sportiness, dynamism and emotion is what the brand is calling the exterior – progressive front design with a low bonnet, flat LED headlamps with chrome elements and torch-like daytime driving lamps and that diamond radiator grille that highlighted the previous generation’s design.

360-look at 2019 A-Class Edition 1

Aerodynamics

At the rear, the tail lamps provide a wider look with slimmer looking designs to bring home the new hatchback look and feel. Together with the new streamlined shape, aerodynamics has been improved as well. Cd figure is now from 0.25, thanks to a list of aerodynamic improvements including aero lip in the bonnet’s joint to the front apron, improved shape of the rear exhaust silencer and heat shield, as well as front and rear wheel spoilers optimised to achieve low airflow losses around the wheels. In addition, the wheel arches are insulated from the engine compartment.

Interior

The interior has been modernised and revolutionised with digital displays and luxury. The wide visual and spaciousness of the dashboard is thanks to the continuity of the wing shaped design that is from the front door, across the dashboard to the other door. The clean look of the free standing widescreen display’s are also a treat, one that will incorporate the combination of 7 or 10.25-inch displays. Other completely new design elements to note are the turbine inspired air vents, new steering wheel, door handles, door-pulls, and touchpad. Oh and check out the lighting accents above!

Engines

Mercedes-Benz new M282 engine.

Three engine variants of the A-Class will be available at launch, including two new petrol engines of a 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder outputting 163 hp on the A200, a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder with 224 hp on the A250 and a 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel delivering 116 hp on the A180d. All will be mated to a 7G-DCT dual clutch transmission. It is good to note that the new 1.4-litre unit is the first four-cylinder Mercedes engine to feature cylinder shutoff where the intake and exhaust valves of the second and third cylinder are closed between 1,250 and 3,800 rpm. The remaining cylinders then operate under higher loads.

Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX)

MBUX allows for the best natural language you could have with a car. Simply say ‘Hey Mercedes’, and its artificial intelligence system will be able to respond to you. It is a much personalised experience as the multimedia system MBUX creates a truly emotional connection between the vehicle, driver and passengers. As the system is a learning one, MBUX is the beginning of perfecting a virtual assistant for every Mercedes-Benz.

The user experience is now operated by touchscreen, touchpad (optional) on the centre console and touch control buttons on the steering wheel. In Fullscreen Mode, the entire area of instrument cluster is used for displaying Assistance, Journey or Navigation. The Mercedes me app also holds online content such as current gas station prices or availability of parking spaces in multi-storey car parks.

Intelligent Drive

The A-Class is now able to drive semi-autonomously in certain driving situations with a taste of the very latest driving assistance systems similar to that from the brand’s flagship S-Class. To execute this, it has improved camera and radar systems allowing it to see up to 500 metres ahead of traffic.

Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
 supports the driver in route-specific situations, and predictively adjusts the speed when approaching bends, junctions or roundabouts. This paired with Active Steering Assist is able to support the driver in normal driving by accessing throttle and brake with steering up to 130 km/h. While the assumptions that Active Steering Assist can only work following road lines and markings, it is rather the opposite. The system can stay active even if lane markings are unclear.

To add on, there is
Active Emergency Stop Assist
. Active Emergency Stop Assist brakes the vehicle in its lane to a standstill if the system detects no driver reaction while driving with Active Steering Assist turned on. When there is no steering wheel movement over a predefined period, the system informs the driver via visual and audible prompt to place the hands on the steering wheel.

Active Lane Change Assist
 support steering into the neighbouring lane. When the driver activates the indicator, the lane change to the left or right is only supported within ten seconds if the sensor system does not recognise any vehicles in the safety area. Depending on a range of operation criteria’s, Active Lane Change Assist works between 80 to 180 km/h.

Driving Assistance Systems

The latest driving assistance system in the A-Class includes
Active Speed Limit Assist
 to detect speed sign limits detected by the camera apart from adjusting to speeds stored in the navigation system.

Map Based Speed Adaption

If Active Distance-Assist DISTRONIC of the Driving Assistance Package is turned on, the speed will be adapted automatically to route events in the navigation ahead such as curves, T-crossings, roundabouts or toll booths and turns.

Blind Spot Assist with warning function
 is now installed to warn about vehicles and bicycles moving past when opening the doors. When the vehicle is at a standstill, it also issues a visual warning in the exterior mirror that a vehicle is driving past in the critical area. The object driving past must be moving at more than 7 km/h.

Evasive Steering Assist
 helps the driver to avoid a pedestrian detected within a speed range of 20 to 70 km/h. Should the driver initiate the manoeuvre, the system provides assistance by calculating steering torque to support the movement and avoid the pedestrian.

2022 Third Gen Honda HR-V Vs Second Gen: All You Need to...

By

Haziq Asyraf

Update
: The latest 2022 Honda HR-V has been revealed as a compact hybrid crossover. At first glance,  the car has gone through a huge make-over with a sleeker and sportier look compared to its predecessor. The 2022 Honda HR-V currently offers two variants, a hybrid, and a turbocharged petrol engine.

The
Honda HR-V
, known as the Vezel in Japan and China debuts as the third generation in Malaysia. The initials for HR-V are short for Hi-rider Revolutionary vehicle according to Honda.

Let’s begin with the exterior of the brand new HR-V. The 2022 model has ditched its sporty, rounded look and opted for a clean, boxy, well-defined outline. Honda claims they gave the new HR-V a new body language dubbed “Amped Up Design” as seen with the red pulse that stands out on the front bumper beneath the new grille design. The iconic coupe-like design which debuted in the second generation is retained in this generation along with its hidden rear door handles. It also looks taller and boxier, with a wider wheel arch to boot.

Moving on to the front, the HR-V has ditched its wing patterned grille and opted for a modern, woven pattern-like grille. In fact, the new HR-V grille is the biggest compared to Honda’s outgoing models at the moment. Its front lights are now more pronounced and sleeker in design. Onto the rear, Honda has updated the design with a full LED lightbar, a huge step up from its predecessor. To give the HR-V its sleek, coupe-like appearance, Honda has designed the rear hatch to be slanted in contrast to the 2021 model which had just a plain flat boot lid.

Sedan Vs SUV

The new HR-V’s interior seems to have a straightforward and passenger-oriented design compared to its 2021 model. In the previous design, the leather upholstery is more prominent towards the driver seat, with a chunk of leather protruding out from the dashboard. In addition, the buttons and air vents are all designed to be easily accessible to the driver, but not for passengers. The panoramic, removable sunroof is still retained from the 2021 model.

In this new model, Honda has opted for a simpler design, with passenger comfort in mind. Gone are the days of scattered buttons on the dashboard as the 2022 model decides to keep everything in simple and minimalistic in black, unlike the second-gen HR-V which has a black-on-red tone interior.

The eight-inch infotainment system which was previously built into the dashboard, slanted towards the driver is now installed at a higher position for a better view of passengers. This new HR-V also has its first air diffusion system that is only located on the side air-con vents for cooling.

Moving onto the rear seats, just like the 2021 model, the new HR-V retains its versatile fold-down seats to maximize boot space. Dimensions-wise, the 2022 HR-V sits a bit taller and wider compared to the 2021 model by 20mm in height, length, and width. The new model has also gained some weight, sitting at 1403kgs in contrast with its 2021 model weighing in at 1257kgs.

The engine options for the 2022 model include a 1.5L turbocharged, 1.5L naturally aspirated, and on the range-topping model, a 1.5L hybrid engine while the 2021 model was only available with a naturally aspirated unit. For the new 1.5L turbocharged petrol engine, it has gained more power, topping at 180PS and 240Nm while the 2021 model fairs at 152PS and 190Nm.

Transmission-wise, the 2022 model only comes with CVT and eCVT transmission while the 2021 model gets a better choice, with a DCT and a seven-speed transmission to send power to the front wheels.

Hybrid Cars Vs Petrol Cars

In the past, petrol was our only option to fuel up our cars, but now, we have more choices. You can now purchase cars that are powered by electricity or vehicles that use both electricity and traditional fuel like petrol, also known as hybrid cars. In this article, we will be making a comparison of the Honda HR-V which is available in both variants – Normal petrol-powered car and a Hybrid car.

But before that, do you know that no type is better than the other as each of this type has its own disadvantages and advantages. Here are just a few.

Advantages

Disadvantages

Hybrid Cars

The main advantage of driving hybrid cars is that they are more environmentally friendly. As these cars combine fuel with electric, they have lower emissions than regular petrol cars do. Also, they tend to have better gas mileage too. Offering the power of a regular engine, but more energy efficient, hybrids are great for the environment. Not only that, but you can also save on the cost of fuel.

Firstly, as hybrid cars are smaller and more lightweight, they do not tend to handle as well as regular petrol cars do. Hybrids are also more costly to buy and maintain than regular cars are and as hybrids are built to be more efficient and economical, they are not as fast as regular cars.

Petrol Cars

Petrol vehicles are the most popular cars on the market. They’ve been around the longest and offer many benefits over all the other types of cars. The main advantage of petrol cars is that they are generally cheaper to purchase and maintain, tend to handle better, and are extremely efficient regarding speed.

Petrol is quite expensive, so fueling a patrol car is usually more expensive. The main disadvantage, however, of petrol cars is that they are not particularly energy efficient, and they are not particularly good for the environment either.

Honda HR-V VS Honda HR-V Hybrid

Engine and Performance

Honda HR-V Naturally Aspirated

This compact SUV is the perfect choice for grocery runs and work commutes. It comes with a 1.5L Naturally Aspirated, four-cylinder, 16 valve DOHC i-VTEC engine – offering 121 PS at 6600 RPM and 145 Nm of torque spinning at 4300 RPM. All this power is put through a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) sending power to the front wheels. It also comes with auto headlights, a smart entry with a push-to-start button and cruise control.

Honda HR-V Turbo

For those performance chasers, the 1.5L turbocharged variant comes in two models. One as petrol and a PHEV hybrid turbo model. The petrol variant can be had with a four-cylinder, 16 valve DOHC VTEC Turbo engine – Offering 181 PS at 6000 RPM and 240 Nm of torque at 4500 RPM. Just like the Naturally Aspirated variant, it sends power through the front wheels with a CVT and has similar features to the naturally aspirated model but with Paddle Shifters and a Sport Mode button.

Honda HR-V Hybrid

The third model can be had with a combined Atkinson Cycle 4 cylinder, 16 valve DOHC i-VTEC engine and an electric motor. For the petrol engine, it cranks out 107 PS at 6400 RPM, and 131 Nm at 5000 RPM; the electric motor cranks out an additional 131 PS at 8000 RPM and 253 Nm at 3500 RPM. It runs on an eCVT transmission sending power to the front wheels just like its two brothers. It also shares similar features with its turbocharged variant with the exception of its missing paddle shifters.

Safety

Electric Parking Brake

The 2022 Honda HR-V still retains all the safety systems from its predecessor with the advanced safety features you can expect from a classy SUV: six airbags (four airbags in the naturally aspirated variant), multi-angle rear-view camera, Electric Parking Brake, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) feature and your usual Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) and the Auto Brake Hold (ABH) function.

Honda Lane Watch Camera

Honda’s Lane Sensing feature also made a return to the 2022 model but is only available for the turbo and hybrid variants. LaneWatch system that helps you reduce blind spots on the passenger side so that you can change lanes safely. Any time you flick your signals, the cameras will turn on at the multi-entertainment display, so that you know when is the perfect time for you to switch lanes.

Multi-angle rearview camera

Based on the comparison here, all 3 variants are almost identical in specification and looks. The difference between the naturally aspirated, turbo, and hybrid variants all offer something for everyone. Whether you are looking for a daily drive, performance, or fuel efficiency, it all boils down to deciding which one is the best. For performance and fuel efficiency aficionados, try opting for the turbo or hybrid model. But, if you’re looking for something that is reliable and gets the job done for cheap, why not get the naturally aspirated one instead?

Honda Jazz Convert To Honda Fit. Why Is This So Common?

By

Brian Wong

Life Imitates Nature

It’s a common sighting in parking lots and car meets. From Honda Jazz converted to look like a Honda Fit or a Proton Wira converted to look like a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 3. All of these conversions often look the part without having the performance, and in a way, are very much like a peacock’s bright, flamboyant tail.

The peacock’s large, fan-like flamboyant tail is often in bright, attractive colors and ornately decorated patterns. These are just one of the few evolutionary traits of animals that adapt to attract a potential mate.

Laws of the jungle dictate the survival of the fittest but certain species reproduce by having desirable traits such as thick manes, color, and feather patterns. The caveat of such a feature is these tail feathers serve no other purpose other than looks.

What does this have to do with cars? Car up-badging resembles a peacock flourishing its feathers – all form but no function. Look no further than your local Honda Jazz to Honda Fit conversion, Proton Wira to Mitsubishi Lancers, BMW 318is to an M3, and the list goes on. There is a huge scene where car owners convert their cars to resemble another simply for looks.

It’s important to note that the
Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalanraya
 (JPJ) strictly prohibits this. According to JPJ, the modification of a vehicle with body parts/body kit installation changes the vehicle’s identity is illegal, and can be fined.

Yes, up-badging your Proton Wira to become a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 3 and similarly can get you fined

Yet the million-dollar question still remains – Why are there still so many people converting their Proton Wiras and other cars out there even if it’s against the law? There is an underlying complex issue that is driving this among Malaysians.

Social & Country Infrastructure

Showing up in a presumably expensive vehicle commandeers a better
social image
 among your family and peers. The aphorism – fake it till you make it holds true and dear; even in vehicles. A simple badge with the right modifications can fool the untrained eye.

Ever since our automotive industry experienced rapid growth in the 70s, the possession of a private vehicle is seen as a status symbol desired by many. Furthermore, in a car-centric country like Malaysia,
fresh graduates
 would be pressured to buy a car upon
entering the workforce
 just to commute to work. Having a car with a higher specification or brand can signal their
social status
 among their peers.

Another reason why converted cars are revered is that imported vehicles have high import duties imposed on them. By up-badging or converting a locally-produced car, Malaysians can get a car that looks and feels like an imported car, but at a fraction of the cost. Even though cars are expensive in Malaysia, this doesn’t stop people from nurturing a thriving car culture here that revolves around modifying cars.

Not all red-badged Hondas are Type-Rs by the way.

The
Honda Jazz
 is another perfect candidate in this scenario. In Japan and some parts of the world, this five-door hatchback is called the Honda Fit. However, Malaysian owners are fond of swapping or up-badging the Jazz to its Japanese counterpart.

While there is nothing wrong (ethics-wise) with doing so, what’s wrong with owning a Honda Jazz? Is it that shameful to own something that is sold in Malaysia? In a developing country like Malaysia, the possession of luxurious goods is seen as a symbol of success and wealth; buying local goods doesn’t get all the glam and glory of an imported one. This is why local and Complete Knockdown Units (CKD) cars are seen as “low-class” according to some people.

Understandably, the concept of wealth remains subjective. However, that doesn’t stop people from masquerading themselves. Personally, I think it will be cooler to see someone drive and own a mint-condition Proton Wira and a Honda Jazz than a highly modified one.

The History of Proton

Desperation Breeds Innovation

It’s no secret that Proton and Mitsubishi car parts
can be interchanged
 with each other. Though in older Proton vehicle owners’ defense, Proton has ceased
OEM support
 for their older models. This is why the Proton Wira still retains the number one spot for the
most stolen car
 in Malaysia for years. Lack of spare parts in the market forces owners to outsource from Japan and other countries.

There is a saying that goes – desperation breeds innovation. Unintentionally, grafting Mitsubishi Lancer Evo parts on a Proton Wira has led to a thriving and innovative community in Malaysian car culture. Some have managed to convert the Proton Wira to all-wheel drive (AWD) and shorten the wheelbase to resemble the real deal.

At the end of the day, we don’t have the right to say how one should dress up their vehicle. Taste is subjective after all. However, should you wish to swap in parts or badges from another make and model, do consult local laws first before doing so.

Dolphins, Coffins, Sharks and Crab Hondas? Where Do They Get These Names...

By

Brian Wong

Malaysia’s car culture is a unique bunch and has fostered a heterogeneous range of car owners. With such a wide range of selections, you’ll eventually get a mix-mash of different cultures merged into one. One such example can be found among
Honda
 enthusiasts. You may have heard people calling the tenth-generation Honda Civic sedan, the Honda
ketam
. Other models may range from Honda dolphin, Honda
mayat,
 and Honda
jerung
. The new generation of Honda enthusiasts must be wondering – how and where do these cars get their nicknames from?

Honda Civic EG6/ Honda Dolphin

Malaysia has been blessed with an abundance of seafood choices in our cuisines. Perhaps being spoiled by so many selections is why we colloquially name some of our cars based on fishes. The Honda Dolphin got its name from the Honda Civic EG hatchback. It is a three-door economy hatchback from the fifth-generation Civic produced from 1991 to 1995. The name Honda dolphin, came about due to a local colloquial nickname supposedly the silhouette and the sloping nose design of the car resembles the head of a dolphin.

This hatchback stands out as a fan favorite not just for its powerful and high-revving, naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, but also for its sleek looks. The Honda Dolphin served as a gateway for a platform offering affordable horsepower with excellent handling capabilities on the road and track. Aftermarket options are endless ranging from
engine swaps
 to wide-body kits to gander from.

Its portrayal in Initial D, Fast and Furious, and the Kanjozoku racing gangs in Japan caused demand to soar through the roof. Mint, factory-conditioned Honda Dolphins are worth a small fortune to hardcore Honda enthusiasts in Malaysia because of this.

Honda Civic EF/ Honda
Mayat

Malaysia is not strange to superstitions, even in cars. Some communities can be drastic in their measures. From strongly against having the number four plastered anywhere on their car, to avoiding buying certain vehicle segments because it resembles something
inauspicious
. Perhaps belief is the biggest reason why
station wagons
 aren’t popular here due to their association with funeral hearses. But nevertheless, the fourth-generation Honda Civic EF hatchback is commonly referred to as the Honda
mayat
 in Malaysia. The term “
Mayat
” refers to a corpse in Bahasa Malaysia.

The Honda Mayat got its name due to its angular and boxy design, which some say resembles a coffin on four wheels. This fourth-generation Civic was produced from 1988 to 1991 and had a distinct square-shaped design commonly found on Japanese bubble economy-era cars.

Honda Accord SV4/ Honda
Jerung

Did you know we have sharks in tropical Malaysian waters and on the streets? No, not loan sharks, but the seventh-generation Honda Accord. You might see them as just another cheap old Honda sedan on the road. This seventh-generation Accord was the big brother of the Civic and was produced from 2002 to 2008 locally in Malaysia.

The name, Honda
jerung
 comes from the shark in Bahasa Malaysia, and this sedan got its nickname due to its streamlined body design. Under the hood can be had with two power plants – a 2.0L and a 2.2L naturally aspirated, four-cylinder engine that is famous for its high revving capabilities in stock form. However, the caveat of the
jerung
’s stock engine is a lack of spare parts available which is why owners perform engine swaps to the more famous K and B-series engines.

Although not as popular as their coffin and crustacean cousins, the Honda
jerung
 does provide an edge in motorsports and it is still considered to be a desirable
modern classic
 today.

Honda Civic FC/ Honda
Ketam

The Ketam Civic is the latest nickname bestowed to the tenth generation of the
Honda Civic
. Unlike the two previous predecessors in which nicknames were only given to the hatchback models, the nickname stuck with the sedan offering in Malaysia. Oddly enough, the Civic gets its crustacean title due to its taillights resembling… prawns? It is unknown why Honda
ketam
 struck on, perhaps with
ketam
 sounding much better to pronounce. Other sources say the silhouette of the sedan looks like the exoskeleton of a crab and the taillights resemble a pair of crab claws.

It should be called Honda
udang
. Why do people call it Honda
ketam
 instead?

Nevertheless, the
Honda
ketam
 isn’t just famous for its merits. The tenth generation is the first Civic in its line to bear a
turbocharged engine
 from the factory. Furthermore, unlike its predecessors, Honda has revamped their brand image into a semi-luxury brand. Gone were the days when their cars were viewed as a cheap economy car brand trying to enter Formula 1. The crab is the go-to choice if you can’t afford a Mercedes C-Class or a BMW 3-series.

Even after decades since the Civic dolphin, mayat and, jerung’s discontinuation, these cars still turn heads on the streets and parking lots. Their value is also increasing due to demand as these old cars are overengineered for their time plus it reminds owners of the old cars their parents used to drive.

With the 11th generation Civic now released, what would you call it to join the club of 20,000 Hondas Under the Sea? Let us know in the comments below!

Honda unveils all-new 4th generation Jazz at 2019 Tokyo Motor Show

By

Written by Carsome Editorial

Honda Motor has premiered the all-new Jazz at the 46th Tokyo Motor Show. The all-new Jazz is scheduled to go on sale in February next year.

The new Jazz will come in five different types so that customers can select the model that is right for them depending on their lifestyle. The hybrid version of the all-new Jazz will be the first Honda compact car equipped with the 2-motor hybrid system Honda developed to realise both excellent environmental performance and a comfortable driving experience. It will be introduced to the market as a part of Honda’s e:HEV models. E:HEV is the name for the 2-motor hybrid system, positioned as Honda’s core electrification technology and a hybrid system, for vehicles driven mostly with an electric motor.

Key Features of the all-new Jazz

Comfortable view:

The all-new Jazz features a front pillar with a cross-sectional structure that is different from previous generations of Jazz and yet realises a structure which enables impact energy to flow to the vehicle body in the event of a collision. While ensuring collision safety performance without compromise, this newly-designed front pillar realises overwhelmingly wide and superior frontal visibility compared to that of previous Jazz models.

Moreover, the instrument panel features a flat-topped design which emphasises horizontal and straight lines, and windshield wipers are positioned to be barely visible from inside the cabin, which also enhances a comfortable view while driving.

Seating comfort:

As for the front seats, the all-new Jazz will be the first Honda model to feature a new-generation body stabilising seat that Honda developed while envisioning application for its high-class sedan models. The planar support structure of the seat stabilises the body and makes long driving less tiring and enables the user to enjoy the soft feeling of the seat.

The rear seats continue to feature seat arrangements as versatile as that of the previous generation Jazz and realise seat comfort equivalent to high-class sedan models by adopting a larger and thicker seat pad which offers stress-free seating even for adult passengers.

Ride comfort:

Equipped with Honda’s new, more compact 2-motor hybrid system, the all-new Jazz will drive smoothly by an electric motor for virtually all situations of everyday driving and realise outstanding environmental performance as well as excellent ride comfort with powerful acceleration and comfortable driving.

Usability:

While maintaining the spacious cabin from previous generations of Jazz, the all-new Jazz features enhanced usability which supports people’s mobility, including a stress-free layout of storage areas that ensure comfort for all occupants during everyday driving as well as over long-distances.

Further Advanced Safety and Driver-Assistive Technologies:

A front wide view camera which covers a wide area in front of the vehicle will be newly added to the Honda Sensing advanced safety and driver-assistive system installed to the new Jazz. By combining the front wide view camera and eight sonar sensors mounted in the front and back of the vehicle, features further enhanced existing Honda Sensing functions as well as the new short-distance collision mitigation braking system. Honda Sensing is available as standard equipment on all types in the new Jazz.

Mazda has also unveiled their all-new MX-30 EV.

Horsepower vs Torque, Which Is More Important for Your Car?

By

Brian Wong

From horsepower, engine speed, and acceleration, these are the common reference numbers used to indicate a car’s performance that everyone knows about. However, when it comes to understanding both terms, plenty of people, even car enthusiasts can get it mixed up. If horsepower is a standard measurement in all vehicles, what does torque stand for? We’ll explain it below.

What is Horsepower

Horsepower, similarly to torque is a measurement unit used to indicate how much power an engine can output. It is also measured to determine how fast work can be done by an engine. In theory, the higher the
horsepower
, the more power is sent to the wheels and the faster a car can go. However, there are other elements that play a role in your horsepower such as a vehicle’s weight. A heavier car needs more horsepower to move – if both cars produce the same horsepower, the lighter one out of the two will accelerate the fastest.

In addition, your vehicle drivetrain also plays a factor in your horsepower output. Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) cars suffer from an issue called
drivetrain loss
. This can be attributed to the mechanical works of the vehicle. Once an engine dishes out energy, it gets transferred to the flywheel, transmission, driveshaft, and axels; losing a handful amount of power in the process. Generally, manufacturers display an engine’s horsepower on paper and not at the wheels. To measure the true horsepower of your vehicle, it’s best to take it to a dynamometer test at a tuning workshop.

What is Torque

On the other hand,
torque
 is a measuring unit used to determine the amount of force applied to rotate an object around an
axis
. Commonly displayed in pound-feet (
lb-ft
) or newton meters (
nM
), torque is everywhere when there is motion. Even something as mundane as twisting a doorknob to opening a jar lid has a small traceable amount of torque. In the
automotive industry
, torque is measured based on the force the driveshaft is subjected to. Torque has a correlation with the number of revolutions per minute (
RPM
) it produces. The higher the torque, the higher the RPM.

Torque is generated from the engine pistons reciprocating up and down on the engine’s crankshaft. This motion causes the crankshaft to rotate or spin rigorously. The power is then sent to the wheels through the engine transmission and the drivetrain. Often, this gets confused with either one being the latter when it comes to measuring the output of a vehicle and commonly confused with horsepower.

Bonus: What is Revolutions per Minute (RPM)

Revolutions per minute (RPM) is an
angular frequency
 used to measure how an object can rotate around its axis per minute. For example, if an object spins around its axis for one minute, it has 60 RPM as there are sixty seconds in a minute. In car engines, RPM is measured by how fast an engine’s crankshaft rotates in a minute.

RPM is usually shown to the driver through the tachometer installed in the car and is increased the longer the driver keeps their foot down on the throttle. Your vehicle’s RPM will accelerate with RPM and then slowly decrease due to your gearbox and transmission upshifting to
lower gear ratios
 in favor of top speed rather than acceleration.

How Do the Two Differ from Each Other

A common misconception between these two terms is they are the same. While both are important factors to indicate your vehicle performa
nce, these terms are closely related but have
slight differences
. It’s best to consider both numbers in your car if you’re looking for performance.

When choosing a car, horsepower is a good reference for how much a car can dish out in acceleration but torque will be showing you how much RPM the car is capable of producing when you hit the throttle. For example, a sports car has high horsepower, yet it struggles to tow a trailer. A truck, on the other hand, has a lower horsepower, but it can tow a trailer due to its high torque engine.

In simple terms, torque is the capacit
y to do work, horsepower is how quickly a task can be accomplished. That’s why the performance of sports cars is usually measured in horsepower while trucks and other utility vehicles are measured in torque.

Which is More Important if You’re Looking for Power

Generally, horsepower should be what you’re looking for in a sports car, and torque should be used for heavy-duty vehicles like trucks. A sports car is akin to a marathon athlete while a truck is akin to a heavy-lifter. A marathon athlete cannot lift 80 kgs, but a heavy-lifter can, and it goes vice versa for running a marathon. If a car has too much torque, the driver would have difficulty controlling the vehicle when they hit the throttle. Similarly, if a car has too much horsepower, it would be too fast and unstable for public roads. Thus, it is
important to
prioritize one for the other when choosing or modifying your car.

Upsize Your Life: 3 Signs You Should & How to Get RM5,000...

By

Devan S

Life isn’t all about staying still. As we move on into different phases of life, our lifestyle changes accordingly. And as we aspire to build a better life for us and our families, we would be upsizing what we own as well.

Here, we focus on when you should upsize your house and your car – likely two of the most valuable things you would own. Before taking the upsizing plunge however, you should take stock of your financial situation and decide if you can afford it. If your finances allow it, taking the plunge will lead to a more comfortable, elevated quality of life.

1. Your Family is Growing

One of the most common reasons for upsizing is family. The equation is simple: more people equals more space needed. When you welcome children into your life, you will naturally need more space to raise them.

Thus, it will make more sense to upsize your car as well as your living space. You will need more rooms to accommodate the little ones, as well as cargo space in the car to move them about.

2. Your Finances are Improving

If you can afford to upsize your home right now, it might be a good idea to do so. Doing it now will get the stress of moving out of the way, and you can still keep the house even if your finances aren’t looking so good a few years down the line.

To mitigate that, you can rent out your previous home for some steady income. At the same time, you may also want to upsize your car, especially if you’ve been using it for some time. Getting a car upgrade means less headaches down the road while getting a more comfortable ride with the advances in automotive technology.

3. Your Priorities Have Changed

Right now, working from home is fast becoming the norm. Some people find telecommuting much more preferable to working in the office, preferring to work in their pyjamas while being no less productive.

If you are one of them, you might want to consider adding an extra room to your house so you can work more effectively.
According to Christena Nippert-Eng
, a sociologist and professor at Indiana University, Bloomington, dividing work and life between different areas of the house is a good strategy to adopt to reduce work stress.

At the same time, you might want to reconsider the use of your car. If you’re upsizing your home, this might be a good time to consider ‘resizing’ your car. You may consider switching to a smaller runabout for errands close to home, or even get rid of the car altogether.

How Do You Maximise the Value of Your Current Car?

By

Carsome Author

    As we have explained in an infographic about the true cost of vehicle ownership in Malaysia, many still wonder how they are able to maximise the value of their current vehicle. There are various answers to this, however all of them are still bound by the fact that depreciation still takes place year on year.

    Whether you purchased a new or used vehicle, depreciation has taken place the moment it left the showroom. The only difference between the two, is that the used vehicle, depending on its age, brand and popularity has probably depreciated at least 10 to 55 per cent of its original price within year one to five. Because of this, there has been a debate about selling your vehicle and how it has depreciated in value significantly after five years.

    So the question is: when should you sell? Well, some say that it is better to change your car every three to five years; while others say that the longer the vehicle is used, the more value you gain when evaluating it from a financial standpoint. However, the latter only applies should you decide to keep the vehicle for over 10 years (which then also depends on maintenance, wear and tear costs).

    This is where most say that the five-year period is generally a good indication to sell your vehicle. Here in Malaysia, it is the general benchmark of the used car market to evaluate car prices as the following sixth year depreciation tends to level off.

Ensure Your Vehicle Is Maintained Regularly

    …and when required. Always remember ‘TOWBIF’, which stands for tyres, oil, windows, brakes, interior and fluids is always in check.

via GIPHY

    A well maintained vehicle with proper recorded scheduled service is considered to be complete when it comes to the resale of your car. Also remember that keeping your car interior clean helps to upkeep the original look over time. Apart from vacuuming corners and seats, you could also go the extra mile to protect your interior surfaces from fading and cracking with car care products. As for the exterior, the elements of sun, rain and bird droppings will affect the coat. Owners that are truly meticulous about their paintwork ensures that they wash their cars with various cloths, keep note about the car body temperatures and will never send their vehicles to the five-minute corner car wash.

Mileage

via GIPHY

    This is rather contradictory. How is it possible to maximise the value of your car when mileage is a factor and you have to drive it? It is all a matter about care and fair use. The truth is, a car needs to be moved, mechanical parts need to work in order for things to keep at its best. So on average, a good average mileage is 15,000 to 20,000 km per year travelled.

What can you do?

    Maximising the value of your car requires some care for the details. The more attentive you are to your car, the higher the chance you will be able to fetch a higher price when you sell. Even if you do not intend to sell, taking care of your car means that it will eventually take care of you. After all, wouldn’t you prefer to purchase a used vehicle that has been well taken care of by its previous owner?

Should you sell your car privately or through us? We assure you it’s much easier through us.

A Look at Car Advertisements and Celebrities

By

carsomeadministrator

Advertisements drive sales, or do they? Car brands occasionally engage with celebrities to endorse their products, some just as a face for a specific campaign, some made to draw the attention of the crowd (like Superbowl ads) and even more, a brand ambassador that will hope to drive change for the future.

As an example, in 2016, Chinese manufacturer BYD Company and its subsidiary BYD Auto named Leonardo DiCaprio as its brand ambassador in China for BYD’s new line of energy vehicles. As one of the world’s largest new energy vehicle manufacturers in the world, accounting for 11 per cent of the global market in 2015, BYD’s engagement with the well known Hollywood actor and environmental activist is certainly a major boost to the company outside of China.

What about the rest? We’ve compiled some car ads that feature famous Hollywood celebrities, some unexpected, and others a global campaign that made headlines. Which among these, or others that you’ve seen are your favourites?

BYD and Leonardo DiCaprio

BAIC Motor and Nicolas Cage

BMW M2 and Gigi Hadid

Hyundai USA and Ryan Reynolds

Jaguar F-Type with Ben Kingsley, Mark Strong and Tom Hiddleston

Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB with George Clooney

Volvo Trucks and Jean-Claude Van Damme

Volvo Cars and Zlatan Ibrahimovic
