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.

Honda has sold more than 10,000 units in the first half of 2023, while the 5th generation City has sold more than 68,600 copies since its release. These numbers make it clear that Malaysians love the Honda City, and would select it over its competitors.

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.

With the introduction of the BMW 7-Series Security Vehicle in 1978, BMW has more than 40 years of experience producing armoured vehicles. Up to the 2004 release of the BMW X5 Security, two more generations of the 7-Series would go on to be used as security cars. Since then, the 7-Series and X5 have both remained in the company’s lineup of armoured vehicles.

The new BMW 7-Series Protection is the first armoured version of the current generation of the 7-Series. There is also a protection model for the electric BMW i7. The doors, underbody, and roof of each model are strengthened by the addition of an armoured steel body known as the BMW Protection Core.
