Female Malaysia – July 2019

BEST HOT HATCH

VOLKSWAGEN GOLF R 2.0TSI
No other car screams performance more than the iconic
Golf R. The latest refresh of this model was in March
2018 and new additions to it included a new bumper,
full LED headlights system with LED daytime running
lights, dual-zone automatic climate control and Adaptive
Chassis Control (DCC) to name a few. In addition, this
new Golf R is powered by an upgraded 2.0TSI 290PS
turbocharged direct injection petrol 4-cylinder engine.
Combined with the new DSG 7-speed direct shift gear
box, the car literally flies from 0-100 in 5.1 seconds!

RANGE ROVER EVOQUE

Happy eighth birthday Evoque! You’ve

definitely come a long way since you were

first rolled out on 4th July 2011. While details

of the second-gen Evoque have been revealed,

there’s no word yet on when we’ll be getting

it in Malaysia. However, Land Rover Malaysia’s

website already has the updated brochures,

so here’s hoping that it’ll be soon. We had a

peek of it and boy, are we in love! From what

we saw, it looks like our beloved SUV will be

getting a swanky upgrade – both in the looks

and tech department. Watch this space cos

we’ll be reporting it once we have word on

the official launch!

BEST ENTRY-LEVEL CAR

PERODUA MYVI
“As someone who has driven a Myvi since her college
days, this new model definitely impressed me in terms
of details. Advanced safety assist features, LED headlamps,
keyless entry and push start aside, my favourite is the
new integrated Touch ‘n Go card reader (available on 1.5L
variants) that’s built in to the car. This means that you can
officially retire your SmartTAG device, or better yet if
you don’t own one, start using the SmartTAG lane. It’s
also cool that the
transmitter has
a screen to show
me how much
balance I had
and even made
a sound when
my balance
was low!”

HONDA HR-V

The newly-designed HR-V was officially launched

in January after a few months’ delay. The refreshed

range consists of three petrol variants, the base E,

followed by V, and lastly the RS. Apart from the new

sporty 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, black front and

rear bumper, the RS variant is also equipped with the

Variable Gear Ratio (VGR) steering system meant

for sportier driving. In terms of safety, six airbags,

emergency stop signal (ESS), vehicle stability assist

(VSA), hill start assist (HSA) and multi-angle rearview

camera come as a standard across the model range.
