To car companies, customers are the most important people for their business and every effort is made to ensure that they have a great ownership experience. Sime Darby Auto ConneXion (SDAC), the sole distributor for Ford in Malaysia, has various activities that enhance that experience and recently, the company hosted the first-ever Ford Inner Circle event in Malaysia.

The Ford Inner Circle event brought together customers of the Next-Generation Ford Ranger customers at the flagship Ford showroom in Sime Darby Motors City in Ara Damansara, Selangor. Being a festive month, it had a Christmas theme for Ranger owners and their families.

Besides the food, fun and drink, expert instructors were also on hand at a familiarisation workshop to give owners a deeper understanding of their Ranger.

Hyundai Motor has released the first pictures of the new generation of its KONA sub-compact SUV, and like the original IONIQ, there will be a choice of battery electric (BEV), hybrid electric (HEV) or just an internal combustion engine (ICE). A fourth choice will be the sporty N line.
