Updated Honda HR-V unveiled, prices start at RM115,900
The new model features revised exterior styling, improved interior practicality, enhanced connectivity and upgraded safety features offered across all variants.

Honda Malaysia chief executive officer and managing director Narushi Yazakl said the new HR-V, a bold evolution of Malaysia's favourite SUV.
It blends sportiness, innovation and smart practicality to meet the needs of today's SUV drivers.
He added that with over 170,000 units sold since its introduction in 2015 and a leading 41 per cent market share in the non-national B-SUV segment, the HR-V has redefined what a compact SUV should be.

All variants now come with 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels for a bolder stance.
The e:HEV RS variant adds a sporty RS Package for a more performance-inspired look.
Inside, the SUV offers a more refined and practical cabin focused on comfort and usability. The e:HEV RS variant comes with RS-embossed sporty seats.
A redesigned centre console now includes a wireless charger, while a new floating 8-inch Display Audio Unit improves visibility and ease of use.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across all variants, along with USB-C ports at the front and rear.
Honda's Air Diffusion System helps maintain comfortable in-cabin airflow.
Despite its compact SUV size, the new HR-V provides a spacious interior that rivals vehicles in higher segments, offering strong comfort and versatility for both driver and passengers.
The HR-V also offers three powertrain options to suit different driving preferences.
The 1.5L DOHC i-VTEC petrol engine produces 121PS and 145Nm of torque, offering a balance of practicality and efficiency for daily driving.
The 1.5L VTEC Turbocharged engine delivers 181PS and 240Nm for a more dynamic and responsive drive.
The advanced 1.5L e:HEV powertrain produces 131PS and 253Nm, combining strong hybrid performance with seamless transitions between EV, Hybrid and Engine drive modes.

Max Verstappen confirms Red Bull stay for 2025 F1 season
FOUR -times Formula One world champion Max Verstappen has ended speculation about a move to Mercedes next season by confirming for the first time on Thursday that he will race on with Red Bull. 'I think it's time to stop all the rumours. For me, it was always quite clear that I was staying,' the Dutch driver told reporters ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix. 'And that was the general feeling in the team because we are always in discussion about what we could do with the car and when you're not staying you stop talking about these kind of things. And I never did.' Formula One starts a new engine era next year in a major shake-up that could change the pecking order, with Mercedes expected to lead the way while Red Bull are making their own power unit after a split with Honda. Reigning champion Verstappen has known break clauses in his contract but they have not been triggered, with the 27-year-old third in the standings at the mid-point and with two wins from 13 races. It was widely accepted in Formula One that Verstappen would be staying, with the rumour-mill already turning to a possible exit from Red Bull in 2027 with performance clauses again applying next year. Verstappen otherwise has a Red Bull contract that runs through 2028. The sacking of Christian Horner this month as Red Bull team boss was also widely seen as another step by the energy drink company to convince the sport's most sought-after driver to stay with them. 'Some people just like to stir the pot, some people just like to create drama. But, for me, it's always been quite clear,' said Verstappen. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff said last week that retaining his current lineup of George Russell and Italian Kimi Antonelli was a priority. Russell told reporters separately at the Hungaroring that he was sure to be racing for Mercedes next year but nothing would be signed until after the August break, which follows the Hungarian race. While Russell's current deal expires at the end of the year, he has been under a management contract with Mercedes since he was 16, meaning his employers are effectively negotiating with themselves. 'Conversations have started but we are now heading into the summer break,' said Russell. 'Toto and I have spoken a lot this week but we haven't spoken once about the contract because we're both trying to solve the car's performance and get the team in the right place.' - Reuterspix

V-GREEN and GSM Philippines sign strategic partnership with MERALCO to promote EV infrastructure development in the Philippines
MANILA, PHILIPPINES - Media OutReach Newswire - 30 July 2025 - V-Green Global Charging Station Development Corporation (V-Green) and Green and Smart Mobility Joint Stock Company (Green GSM Philippines) have announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Manila Electric Company (MERALCO) – the largest power distribution company in the Philippines. This milestone marks a significant step forward in the efforts to promote green transportation and develop the electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem in the Philippines. Under the MOU, the three parties will closely collaborate on researching and implementing solutions to accelerate EV adoption in the country, primarily through the deployment of electric taxi services and the development of a public charging station network. Specifically, the parties will jointly identify and evaluate potential locations for charging stations and taxi hubs, support the efficient and sustainable roll-out of charging networks, and explore opportunities to scale up the electric vehicle adoption in major urban areas such as Metro Manila and other key cities. In addition, the MOU outlines potential areas of cooperation such as co-developing solar energy solutions for EV charging stations, sharing technical expertise in EV technologies, and providing workforce training. Mr. Nguyen Thanh Duong – CEO of V-Green – stated: 'We believe this partnership between V-Green, MERALCO, and Green GSM will create meaningful and positive change in the Philippines' urban transportation landscape. Expanding a comprehensive charging network powered by renewable energy will not only accelerate the green transition but also improve quality of life for Filipino citizens.' Mr. Dao Quy Phi – CEO of Green GSM Philippines – shared: 'Public access to clean, safe, and environmentally friendly mobility is heavily dependent on robust infrastructure. We believe this collaboration with MERALCO and V-Green will unlock significant growth opportunities for the electric taxi industry in the Philippines.' Manuel V. Pangilinan, Chairman and CEO of MERALCO, added: 'This partnership brings together our collective strength in infrastructure, technology, and experience that will redefine our cities and our communities. Together, we intend to reframe the way we think about energy, transport and sustainability.' V-Green is a pioneering green infrastructure provider, committed to developing a smart, convenient, and seamlessly integrated EV charging network. In Vietnam, V-Green serves as the exclusive charging infrastructure partner for VinFast electric vehicles, playing a key role in the company's rapid ascent to becoming the market leader in the domestic EV sector. Green GSM, meanwhile, is an innovative electric ride-hailing platform that operates a fleet powered entirely by VinFast EVs, with a mission to make green transportation accessible to all while elevating the standard of safe, reliable, and high-quality mobility services. In the Philippines, VinFast, V-Green, and Green GSM are collectively building a holistic electric mobility ecosystem—spanning EV distribution, charging infrastructure development, and electric taxi operations. This collaborative model is poised to deliver meaningful benefits to the public, from cost-effective mobility to safer and seamless travel experiences, while laying a strong foundation for the country's transition to a greener future.

Harn Len's fourth-quarter net profit surged to RM22.5mil. PETALING JAYA: Harn Len Corp Bhd remains cautious and is actively formulating strategies to safeguard its business operations. The plantation group said these include enhancing efficiency and implementing cost rationalisation measures to mitigate potential negative impacts. Harn Len said crude palm oil (CPO) prices are currently hovering between RM3,900 and RM4,100 per tonne. 'A surge in soybean oil prices and high demand from India will help to support CPO prices, where the average CPO price for the year is forecast to remain above RM4,000 per tonne,' the company added. In its fourth quarter ended May 31, Harn Len's net profit surged to RM22.5mil, or earnings per share of 3.68 sen, from RM1.5mil or 0.27 sen, a year ago.
