For those who missed the news, Kia has produced a genuine ladder-frame pickup truck to compete against rivals like the Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger.
It has become a hot topic due to Kia’s somewhat unusual design approach.
However, if you are still interested in Kia products and want to hide that peculiar appearance, ARB, an off-road accessory company, has some offerings.
Among them is a front bull bar complete with a skid plate and recovery points.
There is also a larger bull bar with fender bars connected to a side step structure for a more aggressive look.
In addition, ARB offers several bed structure options, including an enclosed cargo space for storing camping or woodworking equipment.
Customization according to individual needs is also possible.
Other accessories that can be installed include roof racks, additional LED lights, and foldable ladders.
Given the higher ground clearance depicted in these generated images, it is not impossible that ARB will offer a suspension upgrade kit for the Kia Tasman model.
Besides ARB, Kia itself offers various accessory packages that can be directly fitted from the factory, including sport bars, off-road bumpers, snorkels, and accessories for canopies and truck beds.

Hyundai Motor Company (HMC) has officially established a new entity, Hyundai Motor Malaysia (HMY).
This move marks the evolution of the Hyundai brand from a distribution model run by Sime Motors to a principal-based operational approach that eliminates intermediaries.
With this initiative, Hyundai will assume full responsibility for branding, marketing, sales, and direct customer experience.
A dedicated local team will be formed and empowered to make faster and more relevant decisions within the new headquarters located at Menara Affin @ TRX.
Simultaneously, HMY will introduce three new models in the SUV and MPV segments for the local market.
Hyundai will also establish a local assembly operation in Kedah starting in the third quarter of this year (Q3 2025) through a partnership with Inokom Corporation Sdn Bhd.
The facility is expected to produce up to seven vehicle models over a five-year period, integrating Malaysia into the brand’s global production network.
In the short term, Hyundai’s production operations will focus on internal combustion engine (ICE) models and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) to meet Malaysian demand, with 30 percent of production expected to be exported to neighboring countries.
According to Jahabarnisa Haja Mohideen, Managing Director of Hyundai Motor Malaysia, “Malaysia is a highly potential market, with the highest demand for passenger vehicles in ASEAN at 35 percent.
“The stable GDP growth rate of 4.3 percent reflects strong consumer confidence and increased purchasing power. This situation will drive innovation and long-term investment.
“Through collaboration with local stakeholders, Malaysia is an ideal location to expand Hyundai’s presence and establish a key hub in Hyundai’s growth strategy in the Asia Pacific region.”
Meanwhile, Sime Motors will continue to be part of the Hyundai dealership network.
In addition, Hyundai plans to enhance its service network by opening up to 25 new branches by 2030 and upgrading its after-sales system.
Existing customers can update their information via THIS LINK to ensure HMY can provide continuous support under the new management.

Introducing the Honda Super EV Concept. With a design that bears a striking resemblance, could this be the true successor to the Honda e electric hatchback?
The Honda Super EV Concept will be officially unveiled by Honda at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this July, featuring impressively compact dimensions.
As is typical for a concept model, it is still covered with camouflage stickers.
However, we can see several details, such as round-shaped headlights, a charging slot located at the front grille, wide front and rear fenders, and a flat roofline.
According to Honda, this concept is designed to showcase how a model in the A-segment can still deliver an enjoyable electric driving performance while maintaining the usability associated with the Honda brand.
They also mentioned that this sporty small model has already undergone feasibility testing in the UK as part of a broader global prototype program.
So, does this mean that Honda is ready to launch this model in the Southeast Asian market, especially in Malaysia?
GGR Motor, a local automotive company is set to launch an electric motorcycle model for the Malaysian market through the ‘Go Green Revolution’ initiative.
The official launch event will take place on June 28 at Saloma Kuala Lumpur, with Perniagaan Mazlan & Hashimah (PMH Motor) Sdn Bhd serving as the Exclusive Strategic Partner and main authorized dealer.
According to GGR Motor’s Managing Director, Muhammad Mussadiq Mohamed Azmi, this launch represents a starting point towards expanding the use of electric motorcycles among the public.

Among the artists who will add to the festive atmosphere are Johan, Cat Farish, Farid Kamil, Ajak Shiro, and Nabil Ahmad.
“I believe when artists themselves use EVs, it creates a greater impact in terms of outreach and public awareness,” he said.
Furthermore, GGR Motor has also announced sponsorship of two Lion G1 e-bikes (valued at RM2,054 each) as lucky draw prizes for attendees of the ‘Aku Muzik Kami (AMK Indie 2025)’ concert which will be held on July 26-27 in Sepang.

Next year (2026) marks the 50th anniversary since the Golf GTI first made its debut, and Volkswagen has a unique way to celebrate this achievement.
At the Nurburgring Circuit, Volkswagen successfully set a record for the fastest lap with a time of 7 minutes and 46.13 seconds, using the hot hatch Golf GTI Edition 50.
This makes the vehicle the fastest Volkswagen brand car at the Green Hell, surpassing the Golf R 20 Years (7:47.31) and the Golf Clubsport S (7:49.21).
For information, the lap time for the Golf GTI Edition 50 was achieved on the full circuit configuration of 20.8 km, compared to the older record format (20.6 km) used for the two mentioned Golf models.
Unfortunately, the Golf GTI Edition 50 is still not quite fast enough to break the record held by its competitor, the Honda Civic Type R, in the front-wheel-drive categorywhich recorded a time of 7:44.481 in 2023.

Minister of Transport, Anthony Loke, has acknowledged that the Demerit Points System for Traffic Offenses (Kejara), implemented since April 2017, is a failed and ineffective system, according to Bernama.
According to him, the current system only applies demerit points after traffic offenders have paid their fines or have been prosecuted in court, rather than starting when they receive the notice of the offense.
As a result, he announced that the Kejara system will undergo a significant overhaul soon.
“As the Minister of Transport, I admit that this Kejara system has failed because we have taken the wrong approach.
“That is why I say this system really needs to be restructured, and the ministry is exploring a new approach that will be implemented,” he stated at a press conference following the implementation ceremony for the Speed Limitation Device (SLD) for commercial vehicles at Scania (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd last week.
The Kejara system is a procedure for awarding demerit points to motor vehicle drivers who commit scheduled offenses under the Road Transport Act 1987 and its associated regulations.
Twenty offenses identified as potentially leading to serious accidents or fatalities, and that endanger other road users, are included in the list of offenses under the demerit point system.
The Ministry of Transportation, through the Road Transport Department (JPJ), will mandate the installation of speed limiting devices (SLD) on heavy vehicles in phases, starting October 1 this year, according to Bernama.
With this device, all types of heavy vehicles will have their speed limited to 90 km/h.
According to the Minister of Transportation, Anthony Loke, the initial implementation will apply to all express and tourism buses, as well as heavy vehicles with a maximum weight of 3,500 kg that were registered starting January 1, 2015.
He further explained that the activation of the SLD will be required for heavy goods vehicles with a maximum weight of 3,500 kg and vehicles carrying more than eight passengers before January 1, 2026.
This enforcement will also apply to rebuilt vehicles and imported used heavy goods vehicles with a maximum weight of 3,500 kg.
Meanwhile, vehicles exceeding 3,500 kg and vehicles that carry more than eight passengers that are not equipped with SLD will be required to retrofit the SLD, which must be certified by the JPJ before July 1, 2026.
Every installation of the SLD must be accompanied by a functional verification document from the manufacturer or vehicle producer, as well as from a workshop or service facility recognized by the JPJ and a certification body accredited by the Department of Standards Malaysia.
According to Anthony Loke, the verification document and SLD report must be renewed every two years and must be presented at the Motor Vehicle Inspection Center (PPKM) and when applying for or renewing permits at the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD).
These documents must also be carried at all times for JPJ enforcement purposes.
