With its sweeping Zenith windscreen, it brings ‘Visiodrive’ passengers an all-new motoring experience by boosting brightness and visibility. 

The compact exterior hides a spacious interior that boasts a generously sized cabin, a 300 litre boot and a plethora of storage compartments. The semi-high seats make access easy and give passengers a commanding view of their surroundings, as part of an approach focused on comfort and safety.

The new Citroen C3 is equally at ease in the city and out on the open road, with well-balanced road manners, ultra-controlled mass, optimised drag, and a responsive and efficient engine. It is a sensory pleasure, curved and sleek yet with a sharp dynamic balance that is also clutter free.

The Infiniti QX80 is conceived to attract and hold viewers' attention, conveying its underlying sense of power and strength. The design is dynamic, its size is gigantic with the capability of transporting eight adults and their belongings with spacious elegance. The signature front double arch and wave pattern grille mirroring the bold style of the popular Q50 sports sedan.

The proven 5.6-liter V8 engine combines the responsive acceleration of Infiniti’s VVEL (Variable Valve Event & Lift) technology with the efficiency of Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG) to produce 405 horsepower and 560 Nm of torque. The V8 engine is mated to a smooth 7-speed automatic transmission with Adaptive Shift Control (ASC) and manual shift mode with Downshift Rev matching (DRM).

The QX80 is offered with standard four-wheel drive, featuring Infiniti's proven All-Mode 4WD system with Auto, 4H, and 4L modes. The system is designed to distribute torque to all four wheels when road conditions warrant (up to 50 percent can go to the front wheels on demand), helping to enhance traction. When off-road conditions become even more challenging, a multi-mode terrain switch comprising of Snow, Mud and Rock setting changes the engine torque, 4WD and VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control) parameters.

PRESS RELEASE: Scania Driver Competition 2014/2015 Announced Jabatan Keselamatan Jalanraya (JKJR) As An Official Partner

The Scania Driver Competitions 2014/2015 Malaysia-Singapore (SDC) has, for the 4th time, attained the support of the Road Safety Department of Malaysia or Jabatan Keselamatan Jalanraya (JKJR) as an Official Partner.

In line with JKJR’s vision, mission and objectives, the SDC will once again lead the Malaysian Transportation Industry to elevate the status of truck and bus drivers through their participation in this internationally recognized competition.

“We are working very hard towards reducing the number of accidents on the road and we commend Scania for bringing the Scania Driver Competitions into Malaysia again to instil a sense of pride and professionalism among the drivers, making them more responsible towards their passengers or cargo,” said JKJR Deputy Director-General, En. Abdul Haris bin Lakar.

“The SDC editions fit in very well with our Road Safety Plan 2014 – 2020 to have private organisations play a role in educational awareness campaigns targeted towards road users, as human error has been the major cause of road accidents. This competition will complement JKJR’s ‘Zero Fatality Vision’,” added Abdul Haris.

Marketing and Communications Manager of Scania Southeast Asia, Ian Tan said, “We have made the qualification round tougher and more pertinent towards safety issues this time as that is one of the aspects of the industry that Scania is always striving to improve, so the participants must know the driving rules and regulations.”

“The competition reinforces the crucial knowledge on safety standards, fuel economy and environmental-friendly driving, as well as skill, that all contribute to safer driving and of course profitability of our customers,” added Ian.

Initiated in 2003, the Scania Driver Competitions were originally held in Europe and have since expanded globally, evolving into challenging events that highlight the importance of drivers’ skills, as well as driver training and development to enhance road safety awareness and proficient eco-driving. 

Scania Driver Competitions are currently held in more than 40 countries all over the world and is fast becoming an iconic event for all Scania customers and their drivers. Up to 1,000 drivers from Malaysia and Singapore are expected to participate in the SDC 2014/2015 edition.

PRESS RELEASE: Perodua Issues Statement Of Self Illuminating Instrument Panel

First and foremost, we wish to ensure our customers that our products and services are offered with safety-first in mind which strictly adhere to domestic safety standards set by the Malaysian government via its Ministry and various agencies.

In fact, even the first generation Myvi (circa 2005-2011) is Euro 4 certified as Perodua exported to the United Kingdom previously. We have since improved on those safety features for our customers. 

That being said, it has come to our attention that a blogger by the name of Wolf Vaupel has accused the Perodua Myvi and Alza of posing high safety risk to our customers.

In his blog posting 10th March 2015, Mr Vaupel claimed that the self-illuminating instrument cluster featured in both the Myvi and the Alza as “deadly”. According to Mr Vaupel’s logic, the self-illuminating instrument panel confuses drivers into thinking that the headlights are on. 

We wish to clarify, that based on inquiries made to both the authorities and insurance companies showed that there is no such linkage concerning self-illuminating instrument cluster and road collisions at night. 

In addition, the self-illuminating instrument cluster is featured on other international brands and we are perplexed on why Mr Vaupel’s attacks are only directed to Perodua.

He further claims that the self-illuminating feature is against international regulations but fails to provide any evidence to his statements. 

We also wish to clarify, contrary to Mr Vaupel’s claim that we have replied to his earlier inquiry about the matter.

Being a responsible organisation, we welcome our customers to share their views and grievances with us, however we will not tolerate unfounded allegations and we will take necessary action to protect our rights.

PRESS RELEASE; Improve Features Toyota Hiace Launched!!!

The Toyota Hiace is one of the best-selling window van models in Malaysia and for the 2015 model year, it has received upgrades which increase Active Safety. The upgrade is in line with Toyota’s policy whereby safety is a top priority for its products, regardless of whether they are passenger cars or commercial vehicles.

The new Active Safety features that are now standard in the Hiace Window Van are Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) with Traction Control (TRC), Hill Start Assist Control (HAC), and an Emergency Stop Signal. VSC and TRC are Active Safety features which have been available on passenger cars for some time and are especially valuable in helping to maintain grip and stability on slippery surfaces. 

TRC works mainly when the vehicle is moving forward in a straight line, reducing output to the wheels if sensors detect that their rotating speed is excessively high (wheelspin), indicating that grip is lost. VSC works during cornering or sudden changes in direction; when the sensors detect a hazardous condition where the vehicle could spin, brakes on the appropriate wheels start to operate to create a counteracting force which stabilizes vehicle movements. In this way, the vehicle will remain on the road instead of spinning off.

HAC is useful on steep inclines as it minimizes roll-back when about to move off. It is activated when the driver’s foot is removed from the brake pedal and holds the vehicle in position without the use of the handbrake. This enables smoother and safer movement without the risk of stalling or rolling back and hitting another vehicle.

The Emergency Stop Signal can contribute to reduce rear-end collisions. It activates during quick and sudden braking, activating the hazard warning lights so that drivers behind are alerted more clearly that the Hiace is coming to a stop suddenly.

The Hiace Panel Van variant has also been upgraded with the addition of Anti-Lock Braking (ABS). ABS is particularly important for such vehicles as their load and weight distribution varies. ABS, together with the Load-Sensing Proportioning & Bypass Valve which adjusts the brake pressure according to the weight distribution, ensures greater stability for the vehicle during braking, especially on slippery surfaces. Another advantage of ABS is that it prevents wheel lock-up, even when braking hard, and this allows the driver to retain steering control to be able to avoid any hazards even when braking.

Brake Assist (BA) is also offered for the Panel Van , partly to address the issue of older drivers not having enough strength to apply maximum pressure on the brake pedal in an emergency. The system will boost brake pressure in certain emergency braking conditions to maximise braking performance and this also helps to enhance the effectiveness of ABS.

Other safety features of the Hiace Window Van and Panel Van include dual SRS airbags and 3-point seatbelts for all 10 occupants in the Window Van. The webbing for the seatbelts has a low-friction material which reduces the feeling of being cramped.

Reverse sensors are also standard to make parking easier and safer, and the body structure is GOA-certified. ‘GOA’ stands for ‘Global Outstanding Assessment’ which is a tough in-house safety standard that meets or exceeds international requirements. Every Toyota vehicle must be GOA-certified before it is allowed to be produced and sold.

Other features of the Hiace remain unchanged with two choices of powertrains - the proven 2.7-litre 16-valve DOHC petrol engine with VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing – intelligent), and the D-4D 2.5-litre DOHC commonrail turbodiesel engine.

Customers can also order their Hiace with optional accessories such as Toyota Premium Security & Solar Film, Toyota Essential or Toyota Standard Solar Film. These tinted films meet JPJ regulations and are installed by trained personnel at UMW Toyota Motor’s own Accessories Centre before delivery.

UMW Toyota Motor also offers a Portable Tyre Pump as an optional accessory . This compact unit is easily stowed and will come in useful if a tyre is punctured or needs its pressure increased due to heavier loads being carried. It can also be used to inflate toys, balls or car bed via various nozzles which comes together in the set box. 

As with other light commercial vehicles offered by UMW Toyota Motor, the Hiace comes with a 3-year/100,000 kms (whichever occurs earlier after first registration) warranty, subject to conditions stated in the Owner’s Handbook. This reflects the confidence that UMW Toyota Motor has in the superior build quality of its vehicles, a hallmark of Toyota products.

The on-the-road price (individual private registration with insurance, metallic color, Peninsular Malaysia) are as follows:

TOYOTA HIACE HIGH ROOF WINDOW VAN 2.5 TURBO (D) : RM109,600

TOYOTA HIACE HIGH ROOF WINDOW VAN 2.7 (P) : RM102,600

TOYOTA HIACE PANEL VAN 2.5 TURBO (D) *company commercial only : RM87,600
