SUV

An SUV, or Sport Utility Vehicle, is basically the all-rounder of the car world. What makes an SUV an SUV comes down to a mix of size, style, powertrain and practicality. 

Stating the obvious here, but they sit higher off the ground than regular cars, which not only makes them look tougher but also gives drivers a better view of the road. Which is why SUV’s have become so popular.

Inside, you’ll find more space, whether it’s for passengers, luggage, or that last-minute IKEA run, making them a favourite for families and road-trippers alike.

Another big part of the modern SUV appeal is adaptability. Some come with different drive modes which allow them to handle everything from rainy highways to the occasional dirt trail. Even if most owners stick to city streets, it’s nice knowing the car could take more.

Honda has built a strong reputation worldwide for making cars that are reliable, practical, and efficient, and their SUV lineup is no exception. The brand started out producing small, economical vehicles, but as customer needs shifted toward bigger and more versatile cars, Honda quickly adapted. 

Their SUVs are designed to combine everyday usability with comfort and style, while still carrying Honda’s trademark dependability.

Models like the CR-V have become global best-sellers, striking the right balance between size, fuel efficiency, and family-friendly practicality. In markets like Malaysia, the HR-V has also gained a huge following thanks to its compact footprint paired with surprisingly spacious interiors.

But of course, these come with an internal combustion engine. How about an electric powertrain? The first major leap came with the Honda Prologue, introduced in 2024 for North America. 

Built on General Motors’ Ultium platform, it provided Honda with a quick and competitive entry into the electric SUV segment.

In Asia, Honda has launched its e:N series, starting with models like the e:NP2, e:NS2, and e:N1. These compact electric SUVs are designed for urban buyers, combining sleek styling with practical range figures up to about 545km in China and 412km (WLTP) for the e:N1. 

What is the e:N1?

The Honda e:N1 is Honda’s first all-electric SUV that entered the Malaysian market, marking the brand’s serious step into the EV space. Built on Honda’s global e:N Architecture, the e:N1 blends modern styling with practicality, offering a familiar SUV shape while being powered purely by electricity. 

Positioned as an accessible yet premium entry into the EV segment, it delivers a smooth, quiet driving experience with instant torque, all wrapped in a package that feels unmistakably Honda. 

The e:N1 is designed not only to appeal to eco-conscious buyers but also to those who want an easy transition from traditional petrol-powered SUVs into the world of electric mobility.

But of course, on paper, any car will look good. So, we put it to the test. 

Difference between the e:N1 and HR-V

At first glance, the Honda e:N1 and the current HR-V in Malaysia look very similar, but underneath, they’re built quite differently. The e:N1 sits on Honda’s dedicated e:N Architecture F platform, which is purpose-built for EVs. This setup gives it a lower centre of gravity and better aerodynamics.

Power comes from a front-mounted electric motor pushing out 204PS and 310Nm, allowing it to hit 100 km/h in just 7.7 seconds. 

Dimension-wise, both SUVs are nearly identical in size, with the same 2,610 mm wheelbase. But because of its underfloor battery pack, the e:N1 rides much lower with just 142 mm of ground clearance compared to the HR-V’s 196 mm (RS) or 183 mm (non-RS). 

This lower stance improves stability but sacrifices some of the HR-V’s SUV-like ride height. The e:N1 also has a slightly wider turning radius at 5.7 m versus the HR-V’s 5.5 m.

Sufficient driving range for short getaways

Range anxiety is something we all fear when buying an electric vehicle (EV). Does it have enough range for my daily routine? Can I balik kampung with this range? Are there enough charging stations on the way? These are questions that run through our heads when considering buying an EV. 

To be honest, when we got into the e:N1, we had around 297km of range with 94% of battery. We were heading from Mangala Estate Boutique Resort, Pahang, to Pineyard, Bentong, for a quick bite, then back to Honda Malaysia, Petaling Jaya. 

The total travel distance was around 226km, according to the GPS, but we still had to take into consideration our driving style and be prepared for unwanted situations. 

But at the same time, we had to put it to the test. So we drove like our fellow Malaysians and tried out the different drive modes (Normal, Eco and Sport). There were three drivers, so three different driving styles. 

We went through highways, small town roads and winding back roads. So, were we able to make it back without stopping to juice up? Yes, yes, we did. When we parked at Honda Malaysia in Petaling Jaya, we still had 68km of driving range and 21% of battery! This is with an average speed of 125km/h and 7.6km/kWh. 

In Honda we trusted, and it did not let us down. But of course, if you are planning to drive longer distances, you will have to dedicate some time to charging it up. Which is why owning an EV means changing your lifestyle. You will have to properly plan your routes and drive accordingly to the percentage of your battery. 

The e:N1 can be fast-charged from 10% to 80% battery in about 45 minutes using a DC CCS2 charger with a 78kW output.

Honda with no LaneWatch and a huge touchscreen?

If you have read our previous reviews on Honda models, you will know that we had a love-hate relationship with Honda’s Lane Watch, but eventually got used to it. So, driving the e:N1 that does not have the LaneWatch felt a little weird. Instead of Lane Watch, Honda has replaced it with a Blind Spot Monitor. 

Why do we say it feels weird? Because if you are familiar with the Lane Watch system, you know that it will override your screen, which means you will not be able to see your navigation screen. Of course, you can override it via the signal lever, but that takes some getting used to.

The e:N1, however, has a huge 15.1-inch Advanced Touch Display Audio touchscreen panel! This is brilliantly done because it splits into three different sections. At the top, you have your CarPlay details, which include Spotify and navigation controls. In the middle, you have the information section, which allows you to enter the settings menu, power flow and EV menu.

Finally, at the bottom part of the screen are your air conditioning controls. Which means, you will not have to navigate through menus to get to the controls! 

So, we were thinking that Lane Watch would have been perfect for this layout because it would not have to override your navigation screen. But of course, a high-definiton camera compared to the ones in the market now would be a nice touch. 

And a note from the editor also pointed out that having Lane Watch on the right of the car instead of only on the left would be welcomed as well. 

Honda has always made its tech very accessible and user-friendly, even with the smaller screens that you get in other models. So, take that, add a high-def camera on the left and right of the car and incorporate it into this massive screen, and you have the perfect marriage.

Of course, you still get ​​Honda Sensing, which features Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, Lane Keeping Assist, Collision Mitigation Braking, Auto High-Beam, and a Lead Car Departure Notification system.

The powertrain is completely at home

We have driven countless numbers of SUVs; some feel overpowered, some underpowered, and some just feel like they’re missing something. However, when we got behind the wheel of the e:N1, pushed it through corners at low speed and high speed, flying on highways, cruising through towns, we felt like this SUV has the perfect powertrain. 

There is power when you need it; 204PS on tap with 310Nm of torque. This is not overpowered because it does not want to break your neck as soon as you floor it, as most electric vehicles nowadays do. It has the perfect launch power to get you out of tricky situations. 

Switching it to sport mode when climbing up winding roads never felt more satisfying in an SUV. There were times when we forgot that we were driving an SUV! At high-speed corners, we were leaning a little, but that’s normal as the seats were not specifically designed for that. However, you do not get that weird body roll that can make you carsick.

It feels stable at corners and high speeds because it has a 1,662 kg kerb weight, which balances the power-to-weight ratio, coupled with a perfectly tuned suspension. 

Final thoughts

For an EV, it drives differently compared to the Stormtroopers you get from China. The e:N1 speaks to the driver; it tells you everything that is going on. The suspension is so well-tuned that it does not feel like you are in a spaceship. This car has a soul and character, so kudos to Honda for making it feel and drive the way it does.

For everything that this SUV offers, we do not mind paying a premium price of RM149,900 for quality.

Renault menerusi pasukan Penyelidikan dan Pembangunan (R&D) di China kini bekerjasama rapat dengan Geely bagi membangunkan rangkaian Kenderaan Tenaga Baharu (NEV) yang menyasarkan pasaran Asia Tenggara dan Amerika Latin. Langkah ini dianggap signifikan kerana buat pertama kali Geely berkongsi platform utama Global Energy Architecture (GEA) dengan pengeluar automotif lain.

Model-model baharu ini akan merangkumi SUV hibrid elektrik dan juga versi elektrik sepenuhnya. Renault akan bertanggungjawab terhadap rekaan luaran, manakala sistem casis dan seni bina kenderaan akan menggunakan teknologi daripada model Geely Galaxy. Pendekatan ini dijangka dapat mengurangkan kos, mempercepatkan proses pembangunan, serta mempercepatkan kemasukan ke pasaran sasaran.

Walaupun Renault menumpukan perhatian kepada pembangunan kenderaan elektrik bersaiz kecil untuk pasaran Eropah, SUV berasaskan platform Geely ini akan dipasarkan di Korea Selatan, Asia Tenggara, Amerika Latin dan Afrika Utara. Reputasi kukuh Renault serta rangkaian pengedarnya yang meluas di rantau-rantau ini dijangka memberi kelebihan daya saing, manakala Geely pula mendapat manfaat daripada akses kepada infrastruktur jualan dan selepas jualan yang mantap.

Renault’s China-based research and development team is harnessing Geely’s advanced GEA platform to create a fresh line-up of New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) aimed primarily at markets in Southeast Asia and Latin America. The project marks a significant step for both manufacturers, as it could become the first instance of Geely supplying its GEA platform to an external partner.

The upcoming range will feature both fully electric and plug-in hybrid powertrains, with the initial models expected to take the form of SUVs. While Renault will design the bodywork independently, the core vehicle architecture and chassis will draw heavily from existing models within Geely’s Galaxy brand. This approach is intended to keep costs down and shorten development timelines, allowing the vehicles to reach their target markets more quickly.

The partnership reflects a deepening relationship between the two companies in the fast-growing overseas NEV sector. Geely has previously collaborated with other marques such as Volvo, Smart, Polestar and Jiyue, but those projects relied on the CMA platform. In contrast, the GEA architecture is Geely’s most recent flagship platform, currently underpinning several models in its Galaxy range – including the newly introduced Galaxy A7, the best-selling Xingyuan, the E5, and the forthcoming M9 and Starship 9.

The SUV market in Malaysia is fiercely competitive, with many options to choose from. So, is there an SUV that looks premium, has your everyday necessities, will not break your bank account and is good value for money? 

Jetour is one of the newer names in the SUV world, launched in 2018 as part of the Chery Holding Group, yes, the same Chinese automotive powerhouse that’s been making waves with models like the Omoda 5 and Tiggo series. 

The idea behind Jetour is simple: create stylish, practical, and tech-packed SUVs that won’t cost you a fortune. Think of it as the younger, fashion-forward cousin in the Chery family, aiming at younger buyers and growing families who want a little luxury without luxury-brand prices.

So which model did we test out? Meet the Jetour Dashing, which emerges as a standout, bold, tech-forward, and incredibly well-priced SUV.

Offering generous dimensions, a robust warranty, and feature-rich variants starting at just RM109,800, this C-segment SUV firmly positions itself as a value champion. 

After spending quality time with the Jetour Dashing, here’s a look at its design, performance, comfort, technology, practicality, and overall value, along with a few constructive critiques that potential buyers should consider before making a decision.

It’s Called “Dashing” for a Reason

The first time you see the Jetour Dashing, the name suddenly makes sense. This is not a shy, conservative-looking SUV. It’s all sharp lines, muscular curves, and futuristic touches. The front grille blends neatly with slim LED headlights and sports “Mecha-Eyes” split LED DRLs, giving it a concept-car vibe. 

The roofline slopes slightly for that coupe-SUV profile, and the seamless door handles add a minimalist, high-end look, the kind of detail you’d expect from something wearing a far pricier badge.

One notable talking point is the concealed, flush-fitting door handles. They blend perfectly into the bodywork for a seamless, upscale appearance and reduce aerodynamic drag, adding a touch of finesse to the SUV’s design. 

Now, about those flush, pop-out door handles. They’re sleek. They’re modern. They scream “luxury car.” But they can also be… let’s say, slightly inconvenient.

Case in point: I was shooting the Dashing at my usual lakeside spot in SS12. Out of nowhere, this stray dog comes charging at me. I bolt towards the car, adrenaline pumping, only to realise the handles hadn’t popped out yet. Heart pounding, I fumble for the key, unlock it, and wait for the handles to glide out before diving into safety. 

They look great, but in that moment, I’d have traded them for old-fashioned grab handles in a heartbeat. Still, in calmer situations, they do add a touch of finesse to the overall design.

Besides that, the Dashing makes a strong statement on the road, looking far more expensive than its price would suggest. It sits on 19-inch alloys that fill the arches nicely, and the overall stance is confident without being over the top. 

In short, it looks like something you would proudly park in front of a cafe on a Saturday afternoon.

Spacious, Comfortable, and Premium for the Price

Step inside, and you’re greeted with a cabin that punches well above its price tag. Soft-touch materials cover much of the dashboard, there’s tasteful stitching on the seats, and the overall layout feels premium.

Storage solutions are thoughtfully provided, with multiple compartments for personal items, cup holders, and a reasonably large glove box.

The centrepiece is the 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen, which controls everything from navigation to climate settings. The graphics are clean, and it’s packed with features, but there’s a slight lag when swiping between menus. 

While it gets the job done and covers all essential features, the lack of snappiness might frustrate tech-savvy users who are used to faster systems.

Behind the steering wheel sits a 10.25-inch digital driver display. It gives you all the necessary info, such as speed, revs and trip data, but it feels a bit unfinished. Some text isn’t capitalised properly, which makes it seem like the design team didn’t sweat the small stuff. Functionally, it works fine, but visually, it could be more polished.

Jetour hasn’t skimped on equipment. You get wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a panoramic sunroof, a 360-degree camera, remote engine start, rain-sensing windshield wipers, CN95 Cabin Air Filter, ambient lighting and a powered front passenger seat!. For an SUV priced significantly lower than many of its rivals, that’s an impressive list.

The 6-speaker audio system is not mind-blowing, but it is pretty decent, and there are multiple USB ports plus a 50W wireless charging pad. Air-con performance is solid, with vents for the rear passengers as well. 

However, Jetour explains that during hard acceleration, the car detects it and prioritises sending all its energy to give the engine a boost, to maximise power for a quick getaway. As a result, the power for the air-conditioning’s cooling function temporarily shuts off, meaning you will get a brief blast of warm air for a few seconds. We find this a little weird, inconvenient and unnecessary.

Moving on, there is plenty of space, both front and back. The rear seats are generously sized and recline slightly for comfort, and the boot offers 486 litres of space, enough for a week’s worth of groceries or a family weekend getaway. If more space is needed, fold the rear seats down and you will get 977 litres of space.

Smooth and Capable, with a Hint of Turbo Lag

Powering the Jetour Dashing is a 1.5-litre turbocharged inline-four petrol engine that produces 156PS and 230Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed dual-clutch transmission that sends power to the front wheels. On paper, it delivers a healthy output for everyday driving and occasional spirited runs. 

On the road, acceleration is smooth and the SUV feels confident at highway speeds, making overtaking manoeuvres straightforward once the turbo spools up.

However, there’s a noticeable pause when accelerating hard from a standstill, particularly when shooting out of junctions. This turbo lag means you need to plan your moves a little more carefully in tight traffic situations. Once the boost kicks in, though, the Dashing picks up speed rapidly and delivers a satisfying surge.

Another interesting thing we noticed is that there are only Eco and Sports drive modes. The steering wheel offers comfort and sports drive modes. We wished that there was a normal or comfort drive mode for the power delivery because in Eco, you do not get the full power, and in Sports mode, you get too much power, so there has to be an in-between.

Ride comfort is tuned for urban and highway use. The suspension (MacPherson Strut for the front and Multilink for the rear) absorbs bumps and potholes well, keeping the cabin composed even on rougher roads. The steering is light and accurate; however, the turning radius could be slightly better. 

The Dashing works well as a family car. Door openings are wide, making it easy to get child seats in and out. The ride height offers good visibility, and the reversing camera plus parking sensors make manoeuvring in tight spaces a breeze.

Safety Features for Peace of Mind

Jetour has equipped the Dashing with an impressive array of safety technologies for its price point. These include six airbags, ABS with EBD, traction and stability control, hill-start assist, and a 360-degree camera system for easy parking, cruise control, lane change warning, and blind-spot monitoring.

Safety features may vary depending on the variant. Regardless, the safety package is competitive, offering strong reassurance for family buyers.

A Stylish Newcomer Worth Considering

The Jetour Dashing brings a lot to the table: bold styling, a comfortable and well-equipped cabin, family-friendly practicality, and a price tag that’s hard to argue with. Yes, it has its quirks, the turbo lag, the infotainment’s occasional slowness, and those fancy door handles, but none of them are deal-breakers for most buyers.

If you are willing to live with a few minor imperfections in exchange for standout design and generous features, the Jetour Dashing is one of the most interesting new SUV options in Malaysia right now. It’s a statement car from a brand that is clearly aiming to make waves, and based on this first impression, Jetour is off to a promising start.
