The Piston Show

There is no denying that the Chinese have completely dominated the electric vehicle segment. In fact, they are not just dominating it, they have come to define it and lead the way in innovation. The rest? Well, they have been left behind, or have they?

The world is catching up, sometimes working together with Chinese suppliers, and sometimes even surpassing them in certain elements, like design. Take the KIA EV9 for example, it is a really capable big EV, and it looks fantastic as well. We spent a few good days with it, and found it hard to return.

So in this video, we show you what we love and don't like about it.

The KIA EV9 Is A Refreshing Reminder That EV's Can Look Great Too!

Triumph seems to improve their motorcycles dramatically with every new generation. And that is a big thing because when you ride one of their newer generation models, you may think that there is no room for improvement. You think that there is nothing Triumph can do to improve and then they launch a new model and you are gobsmacked all over again.

The 2024 Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro is one of those bikes. We rode it recently and were left stunned by how much better it is. We detail what we love about it in this video.

Jaecoo Malaysia has been teasing the PHEV model of the J7 for some time now, but the local launch is just around the corner. We are among the first journalists to drive the car in Malaysia and are completely blown away by the efficiency levels of the car.

In this video, we show you what is different about the PHEV model, and why this might be the car for you.

Proton has been teasing the eMas 7 for many months now. But it has been Proton's standard style of launching new models now, multiple teasers, roadshows and media test drives.

But the eMas 7 is a big deal because it marks the first electric vehicle to carry the Proton badge. And despite what Proton has been saying, the eMas 7 is actually a Geely product, particularly the E5, with little to no input from Proton itself. Not even the styling.

So what has Proton actually done? We detail all of it in this video.

As for pricing, the eMas 7 starts from RM105,800 and tops out at RM119,800 for the long range model.
