PLUS Malaysia Berhad (PLUS) is expanding its highway operations to handle the 1.9 million vehicles per day on the peak days on the North-South Expressway (NSE) between 11 August and 12 August in order to make it more comfortable for Malaysians travelling back to their hometowns or polling places in conjunction with the State Elections (PRN) .

Honda Malaysia has just introduced the 2023 Honda City facelift into the Malaysian market with the e:HEV RS being the top-of-the-line variant, priced at RM111,900.00.
Just last month, Honda Malaysia announced that the City facelift was available for reservations at all Honda dealerships in Malaysia. And now, the covers are off, marking the official launching of the facelifted City.

During the launch of the new facelifted Honda City today, Honda Malaysia made a shock announcement regarding the fate of the Accord.
Honda Malaysia CEO, Mr Hironobu Yoshimura, announced that the Honda Accord will no longer be offered for sale in Malaysia.
The news comes as a surprise, but one that is not exactly unexpected.
Honda Malaysia has refocused its efforts towards its SUV models in recent times, and this was obvious with the recent discontinuation of the BRV, which was replaced by the WRV.
The launch of the WRV made Honda Malaysia the first non-national car maker to explore the small SUV segment.
And judging by the sheer number of bookings (2,500 bookings) Honda Malaysia received before the launch, the company is on track for success in the new segment.
Even globally, the demand for SUV’s continues to rise while the demand for D-segment sedans like the Accord has dropped considerably.
So it comes as no surprise then that the Honda Malaysia has pulled the plug from the Accord, marking a sad but necessary demise of a car that offered a spaciousness and comfort in a handsome package.
Kia unveiled the brand-new Kia K3 as the successor to the Rio at a global premiere that took place in Mexico City. The moniker “K3” is usually used for the Cerato or Forte, however, it looks like the company is opting for something different now.
The 1.6-litre engine will be available for the Kia K3, and for the first time, a new sporty GT-Line grade with a 2.0-litre engine will also be offered. Six airbags, an ABS braking system, and an ESC electronic stabilisation programme are all standard safety equipment on the K3, while the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) capabilities are available as optional upgrades.
