The Klang Valley has the largest concentration of motor vehicles in the country and obviously, also a large proportion of Mercedes-Benz vehicles. For this reason, the network of outlets – known as Autohaus – is quite extensive in the Klang Valley to serve the many customers.

In Bandar Parklands, near Klang, Hap Seng Star has a Mercedes-Benz Autohaus in the Bukti Tinggi area which was set up in view of the prominent and established township. “We want to be where our customers are, and deliver to them the best customer services and retail experience. In today’s context, we are cognisant that the customer experience is equally as important as the product offering, and thus, together with Mercedes-Benz, we aim to capitalise on the immense auto business opportunities within the Bukit Tinggi region and growing it into a significant auto hub in the years to come,” said Harald Behrend, Group Chief Operating Officer of Hap Seng Consolidated Berhad and Chief Executive of Hap Seng Group’s Automotive Division.

Since April 8, bookings for the upcoming Proton X90 have been accepted at all authorized Proton 3S/4S outlets (the carmaker says only selected dealers will sell the flagship model).

Going by the schedule of City Previews which run until the end of this month, it would seem that the launch of the new model will take place sometime in May. The City Preview sessions are by invitation only and members of the public can contact Proton 3S/4S Outlets, with walk-ins able to enjoy the ‘flea market session’ from 1 pm to 2 pm only.

The 2024 Lexus LC 500 will finally get rid of the most annoying feature that Lexus has ever come up with, the dreaded trackpad.

For the past few years, Lexus has been gradually moving away from its trackpad technology in favour of a more contemporary touchscreen layout and we Malaysians got our first taste of it in the new Lexus NX.

If you thought number plates in Malaysia are expensive, think again. The man made of money, who’s identity was not disclosed for obvious reasons but we still think he’s made of money, set a world record purchase of 55 million dirhams (RM66.16 million) for a rare license plate in Dubai.

We never thought the day would come when the two words “Lamborghini” and “Electric Car” would be said in the same sentence but here we are.

When somebody says “Lamborghini”, the first thing that comes to mind is the roaring sound of the V12 from either the Aventador or the best Lamborghini ever made (for us at least), the Murciélago.

6 years ago, in February 2017, a young’s woman’s nightmare in Johor Bahru began when she was involved in an accident.  22 years old then, Sam Ke Ting was driving home in the early hours of the morning when she unexpectedly encountered a group of cyclists riding along a hilly and winding road that was also said to have poor lighting. Her car crashed into the 8 teenage cyclists who died as a result of severe injuries.

Following the accident, which she pleaded not guilty to, there was a court case where she was acquitted. The prosecution appealed against the judgement and on this second occasion, she was again acquitted.
