Article by Yamin Vong During our recent comparison test of 3 business-class MPVs that represent the pinnacle of Chinese EVs, it was very difficult to judge what were essentially incomparable: one was all about power and the fun of driving, one was a big all-rounder EV that was like a Japanese petrol-MPV, and one was a techno MPV. Then there was the 4th eMPV. This was a BYD M6 compact eMPV that wasn’t in the comparo but anyway stole the hearts of the judges for its nippiness. These business-class eMPVs also incorporated a variety of technology and innovations. It is …

BY COTY JUDGE SHAMSUL YUNUSThe Xpeng X9 arrives in the MPV segment with a clear mission: to challenge conventions. It blends a distinctly racy, angular profile with a deeply considered, high-quality interior experience.

Article by Gokul Kandiah My impression about the 2025 Jetour VT9, priced in Malaysia for RM118,000, and I must say, it’s an impressive package. The design is sharp and modern, the cabin feels upmarket with generous tech and space, and the 2.0L turbocharged engine delivers smooth, responsive performance. For a new entrant in the segment, Jetour has done its homework — ride comfort and handling are surprisingly refined, and the car exudes a premium feel that belies its price tag. Some issues with the fussy engagement of the reverse in its transmission and the glitches in the infotainment are I …

BY COTY JUDGE HARJINDER SINGHWe took the 2025 JAC T9 EV pickup to the rocky trails of Pertak in Kuala Kubu Bharu with the noble aim of testing its off-road mettle. What started as a confident climb quickly turned into a counselling session with a confused electric truck.The T9 EV, with its torquey electric motor and silent demeanor, rolled into the trail like it had something to prove.
