It was not too long ago that the world mourned the farewell of the second-generation Audi R8, with speculation swirling that Audi might abandon the supercar market altogether. Since then, Audi has faced declining sales figures, raising concerns that more models could be discontinued if the company doesn’t make changes. However, a new report suggests there may still be light at the end of the tunnel.

Gernot Döllner, CEO of Audi, recently hinted that the Audi Board and its parent company, Volkswagen Group, have agreed on a strategy to transition to an all-electric lineup by expanding plug-in hybrid models. This decision opens up a wide range of possibilities, and Döllner believes there’s no better place to start than with a low-volume, high-performance halo car.

Back in the early 2000s, Audi saw massive success in rallying and particularly in Le Mans. Audi entered the LMP900 class and won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, and 2005, making it one of the most dominant runs in Le Mans history. The car responsible for this was the R8 LMP. With this generational run, Audi strengthened its presence in international racing, which paved the way for the creation of a road-legal supercar, the R8.

The development of the Audi R8 began in the early 2000s, following the acquisition of Lamborghini by the Volkswagen Auto Group. To reduce the costs of developing the Lamborghini Gallardo and bring Audi closer to its German competitors, plans for Audi's first-ever mid-engined supercar were set into motion through the collaboration of Lamborghini and Audi. This culminated in the unveiling of the Le Mans Quattro concept in 2003 and, eventually, the R8 Coupe 4.2 Quattro in 2006.

A few years later, the R8 was updated with a 5.2-liter V10 engine, borrowed from the Lamborghini Gallardo, showcasing the R8 in its full glory. This trend of platform sharing with Lamborghini continued into the second generation of the R8, coinciding with the release of the Lamborghini Huracán. Just like its predecessor, the R8 approached the supercar genre with a unique perspective.

Since its release, the R8 has consistently been praised for its cool, strong, and elegant design. It’s become known for being the understated supercar—a choice for those who appreciate performance but prefer a more refined and mature approach. While Lamborghinis tend to grab attention with their brash designs and raw intensity, the R8 offers a more subtle exotic experience. It strikes a perfect balance between thrilling performance and everyday usability, making it more practical than its flashier competitors, yet still thrilling to drive. And with a price point comparable to the Porsche 911, the R8 offers an arguably superior experience that many enthusiasts feel is well worth the investment.

The next-generation Audi R8 is expected to debut in 2027 and will reportedly be accompanied by a higher-performance version of the Lamborghini Temerario. If the Temerario models push past the 1,000-horsepower mark, it’s safe to assume that the R8 will not be far off from that. Additionally, Audi plans to reestablish its motorsport presence, with the R8 expected to front the brand's involvement in endurance racing like the Nürburgring 24 Hours again.

If you can't wait for the next-generation R8 or are not keen on the idea of a hybrid R8. You can find yourself one in Carlist.my at attractive prices. 
 

The KIA Sportage has long been a staple in the SUV market, offering an excellent blend of practicality, comfort, and versatility, giving some well-earned recognition as one of the most prolific nameplates in its class. In recent years, much like the Sportage, KIA has also undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving into a globally recognised brand known for quality, innovation, and world-class design.

With the latest generation of the Sportage, Kia has once again demonstrated why this SUV should be at the top of your list if you’re in the market for a family-friendly vehicle that delivers everyday usability, advanced safety, and modern convenience, but without sacrificing a certain suave and adventurous edge.

One of the most significant advantages of the Kia Sportage is its ability to cater to a wide range of drivers. Whether you’re a young family looking for a reliable daily driver, seeking a capable all-rounder to take you to further reaches, or a commuter in need of a comfortable and feature-packed ride, the Sportage has something to offer. Competing against heavyweights such as the Toyota Corolla Cross and Honda CR-V, as well as newer Chinese rivals, the Sportage sets itself apart with its truly inspired bold design, extensive feature list, and a great balance of performance and efficiency.

The Comeback Contender in the SUV Segment

After a brief hiatus from the Malaysian market, the Kia Sportage has returned in its fifth generation, now locally assembled (CKD) at the Inokom facility in Kulim and stronger than ever, allowing Kia Malaysia to offer competitive pricing while ensuring high manufacturing standards. The new Sportage is available in four variants, with two powertrain options catering to different driving preferences and needs.

For those who prioritise a bit more frugality and efficiency, the 2.0 High variant offers a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre SmartStream petrol engine producing 154HP and 192Nm of torque, paired with a conventional 6-speed automatic transmission, providing a smooth and predictable driving experience, making it an excellent choice for city commuting and highway cruising alike.

Meanwhile, the range-topping 1.6T High AWD variant takes performance up a notch with its 1.6-litre turbocharged Gamma II petrol engine, delivering 177HP and 265Nm of torque and mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) and featuring an all-wheel-drive system with a differential lock, this version of the Sportage is perfect for those who crave extra power and occasional off-the-road capability.

Eye-Catching Design and Thoughtful User-Centric Features

The Kia Sportage is no doubt a head-turner, thanks to its bold and modern design language that exudes a sophisticated presence with its sleek LED headlights, signature “Tiger Nose” grille, and dynamic body lines. While both the 2.0 High and 1.6T High AWD variants share a similar aesthetic, the latter stands out with projector LED headlights and larger 18-inch alloy wheels, adding a more premium touch.

Inside, the Sportage continues to impress with its high-quality materials and tech-forward cabin. The 1.6T High AWD variant boasts a fully digital 12.3-inch instrument cluster and a matching 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, complete with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support. The Harman Kardon premium audio system enhances the in-car entertainment experience, making long drives more enjoyable for the whole family. 

The mid-spec 2.0 High variant, while more budget-friendly, still offers an impressive interior package. It features an 8-inch infotainment screen, a 4.2-inch TFT display, and a 6-speaker audio system. The inclusion of essential physical buttons for climate control and drive mode selection ensures intuitive usability, a thoughtful touch that many drivers will appreciate. Underpinning all this are ergonomics and a focus on comfort for all occupants to ensure a pleasant journey from beginning to end.

Safety and Peace of Mind for the Whole Family

Safety is a top priority for families, and the Kia Sportage doesn’t disappoint in this department. With the exception of the entry-level variant, the Kia Sportage variants come equipped with advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), providing a comprehensive suite of safety features. These include Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) with Junction Turning, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, High Beam Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Driver Attention Warning, Lane Following Assist, and Smart Cruise Control.

These technologies work together to enhance driving confidence, whether navigating busy city streets or embarking on long road trips. The Sportage’s well-built chassis and extensive use of high-strength steel further contribute to its robust safety credentials, ensuring that passengers remain protected in the event of a collision.

The Drive - Comforts Meets Poise and Smoothness

On the road, the Kia Sportage delivers a refined and composed ride, striking a balance between comfort and handling. We’ve been shown for ourselves that the 2.0 engine demonstrated its ability to provide a smooth and relaxed driving experience. Even with a full load of passengers, it maintained stable highway cruising and remained responsive in urban traffic. While it may not be the most powerful option in the lineup, the naturally aspirated engine is well-matched with the 6-speed automatic transmission, making it a reliable and fuss-free choice for everyday use.

Switching to the 1.6T High AWD will showcase the benefits of turbocharging and intelligent application of surplus traction. The extra torque would make a noticeable difference in acceleration and responsiveness, particularly on winding roads and steep inclines. Meanwhile, its all-wheel-drive system added an extra layer of confidence, especially when tackling rougher surfaces, and the quick shifts from the 7-speed DCT is only made more direct and engaging via its paddle shifters, all while the chassis ensures a composed ride throughout.

Of course, as an SUV, the Sportage isn’t just built for paved roads—it’s designed to handle light off-road adventures as well, especially in AWD guise. The 181mm ground clearance ensures ample distance from hindrances and shallow water hazards, while the differential lock provides additional traction when needed. Although not a hardcore off-roader, the Sportage is more than capable of handling weekend getaways and mild outdoor excursions.

Why the Kia Sportage is the Ideal Family SUV

Whether it's catering to a whole family on a long road trip or a solo commute to work, the sum of its well-rounded strengths make all-new Sportage the ideal urban and extra-urban SUV companion. From its spacious and high-tech interior to its comfortable and composed dynamics, the Sportage prioritises the needs of drivers and passengers alike. The inclusion of top-tier safety features ensures peace of mind, while the efficient yet powerful engine options provide a balance between performance and fuel economy.

Furthermore, Kia’s reputation for quality and reliability underscores the brand’s commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction, something that’s evident in the new Sportage, making it a trustworthy choice for long-term ownership. With local assembly ensuring competitive pricing and accessible servicing, the Sportage is a practical investment for any family.

The return of the Kia Sportage to the Malaysian market is most certainly a welcome one, offering a compelling choice . It delivers a modern, feature-rich, and safety-oriented package that meets the diverse needs of today’s families. Whether you opt for the budget-friendly 2.0 High or the more powerful and versatile 1.6T High AWD, you’ll be getting a vehicle that excels in practicality, comfort, and driving enjoyment.

Kia has come a long way from its humble beginnings, and the Sportage is a testament to how far the brand has evolved. For families looking for a dependable and stylish SUV that offers both everyday usability and the occasional adventure-ready capability, the Kia Sportage stands out as a top contender. It’s more than just another SUV—it’s a vehicle designed to enhance your family’s driving experience, offering the perfect blend of peace of mind and driving pleasure.

Geely Auto has recently nveiling its EX5 all-electric SUV in the Oceania region. The launch marks the brand's entry into the Australian and New Zealand markets, signifying a bold expansion of its international footprint.

CEO of Geely Auto Group, Jerry Gan, said that by the end of this year, Geely will reach markets including the UK, Brazil, and South Africa, adding more than 300 new sales and service outlets and bringing its international channel layout to more than 1,100.

The EX5 has already made its mark in various global markets, receiving a remarkable response. Within a mere week of its launch in Indonesia, the all-electric SUV garnered over 1,000 orders. Furthermore, it piqued customer interest in the Philippines and Costa Rica, setting the stage for its global expansion.

With Geely's ambitious roadmap, the EX5 is poised to take the world by storm, scheduled to be introduced in more than 20 markets by the end of 2025.

Geely's EX5 showcases the brand's cutting-edge technology, built on the global intelligent electric architecture (GEA), which includes advanced features like the Short Blade Battery, CTB Structure, and the powerful 11-in-1 Intelligent Electric Drive.

Committed to dominating the NEV market, Geely plans to launch 8 new models within three years, all leveraging the GEA platform, to cater to diverse customer needs worldwide. With this ambitious plan in motion, the brand sets its sights on redefining the global NEV landscape.

When you think of a 6-wheeled car, most people would immediately associate that layout with the iconic Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6x6, 

But this time, the same 6-wheel treatment has been given to a cult classic off-roader with a small engine but a big personality – the Suzuki Jimny.

This unique 6-wheeled Jimny was recently spotted on the Historics Auctioneers website and has since sparked a wave of interest across the internet. The owner, inspired by online renditions of the Jimny in 6x6 form, thought, "Why not?" and decided to make it a reality.

The Suzuki Jimny in question began life as a standard JDM Jimny, imported to the UK. It was then handed over to Mocho Fabrications, where the ambitious conversion began. A custom rear bed and new rear arches were crafted specifically for this project, along with a third axle sourced from another donor Jimny. Yes, that's right – two Jimnys were used to create this eye-catching 6-wheeler. Fans of Audi may also recognize the custom Nardo Grey finish, adding a touch of German luxury to this quirky off-roader.

Further upgrades include an upgraded Kenwood Apple CarPlay system, plush leather upholstery, and brand new all-terrain tires, complete with two spare wheels. However, while the third axle looks the part, it's not actually functional, which technically makes this a 6x4 Jimny rather than a true 6x6.

In Malaysia, the Jimny is only available with 4-wheels and specced as such:
- 1.5L 4cyl NA
- 100hp
- 130Nm
- 4-speed auto
- Part time AWD (with low and range transfer gear) 
- Ladder frame chassis 
- 3-link rigid axel 
 -RM 158,900

Honda has launched the Honda S7 EV SUV in China, with a starting price of 259,900 yuan, which is around RM159k.

The electric crossover is from the Dongfeng-Honda joint venture and was initially introduced in China under the newly formed Ye brand last year. However, the brand seems to have been dropped for some unknown reasons.

This model boasts the brand’s new design with large Y-shaped headlights and a thin LED strip. Other features of the Honda S7 include retractable door handles, five-spoke wheels, a sleek roofline, and optional side-view cameras. From the back, the Honda S7 has a large roof spoiler and vertically aligned taillights with an LED element between them.

Dimensions of the Honda S7 are 4750mm long, 1,930mm wide and 1,625mm tall, which is shorter than its rival Tesla Model Y.  However, the wheelbase of the Honda S7 is longer, which is 2930mm. It also has 19-inch wheels, and the top-trim adopts 21-inch wheels.

The Honda S7 debuts with a boldly futuristic interior, featuring a 24-inch portrait-oriented display and a 9.9-inch LCD instrument cluster for a full-tech dashboard. Adding to the striking visuals is a 41.9-inch augmented reality head-up display, while heated seats and steering wheel enhance comfort. For an immersive listening experience, the Honda S7 boasts 8 standard speakers, with a 16-speaker Bose-branded setup available in the top-trim model.

Powertrain-wise, there are few options available. The rear-wheel-drive Honda S7 boasts a single electric motor in the rear axle with a peak power output of 200 kW (268 hp) and 420 Nm. It is powered by the ternary NMC battery pack with a capacity of 89.8 kWh. This model has a CLTC range of 650 km.

Meanwhile, the Honda S7's 4WD variant gets two electric motors, 350 kW with 469 hp and 770 Nm. This variant speeds up to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds. The battery is the same, with a capacity of 89.8 kWh. Its range reaches 620 km under CLTC conditions. This battery pack can be charged to 80 percent in 36 minutes.

Boasting an impressive 40,000 Nm/degree torsional rigidity, the Honda S7 body is designed with durability and strength in mind. The vehicle also prioritizes the safety of its passengers with a total of 11 airbags, ensuring that all occupants are well-protected in case of unexpected situations. Its chassis features the continuous damping control system, which offers superior stability and handling, complemented by the double wishbone independent suspension in the front and the five-link independent suspension at the rear axle.

The Honda S7 entered China in two trim levels. Its entry-level RWD version is priced at 259,900 yuan (RM159k). The top-trim 4WD model costs 309,900 yuan (RM190k).

Not to forget. Soon, Honda will also launch the electric sibling of the S7 called Honda P7. The GAC-Honda joint venture will manufacture this model.

So in Malaysia, which one will we get to see first? It’s the matter of time to find out.

The Tesla Model 3 Performance finished in fourth place with 157 points, just 19 points behind the IONIQ 5 N and 38 points behind the Seal.

When asked about why they voted for the Seal, voters highlighted its unique design, long range, and impressive performance (particularly the AWD model). They also praised the Seal for offering excellent value for money, delivering a premium driving experience with great EV performance.

Other electric vehicles that received votes included the Mitsubishi Minicab EV, Volvo EX30, Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology, Mini Cooper E/SE, Nissan Ariya Nismo, Fiat 600e, Jeep Avenger, Lexus RZ300e, BMW iX1, Audi SQ8 Sportback e-tron, and Lotus Emeya.
