plug-in hybrid business sedan can be
achieved via the BMW Connected app,
which allows one to not only monitor
the performance of the car, but also
dictate the interior atmosphere. It also
empowers one to monitor charge levels of
the high-voltage battery, the locations of
charging stations, and the distance covered
on electric power alone as well as the
consequent amount of petrol saved.

HONDA MALAYSIA HAS A BUMPER YEAR
In 2017, the Honda Malaysia recorded total sales of 109,511 units,
setting an all-time high record in the history of the company since
it was established in 2003.
Despite the challenges in the market last year, Honda Malaysia
launched 6 new models: the BR-V, City, Jazz and Jazz Hybrid, City
Hybrid, CR-V and All-New Civic Type R, with the City emerging
as Honda’s best-selling model contributing 27% of its total sales.
Honda Malaysia also introduced Honda Pride. With 12
specially designed benefits such as 5-years warranty with
unlimited mileage and genuine parts, Honda Pride is dedicated
to the customer’s experience in after sales. The company also
increased the number of dealerships in 2017 to cater to the
expanded customer base. Interestingly Honda’s Sport Hybrid
i-DCD made local history as Malaysia is the only country outside
of Japan to introduce the technology.
