Some like the logo is now silver and the new two-tone 16-inch rims. The cabin is not spared. Semi-leather material covers the seat, combined with the dominance of dark colors. The second row is equipped with captain seat models so that it adds an exclusive impression.

The main attraction lies in the technology installed. New Cortez has Wuling's flagship voice command, namely WIND (Wuling Indonesia Command) which was previously embedded in Almaz. As the name implies, it can be ordered to use Indonesian to control many features, such as opening and closing windows, sunroof, adjusting air conditioning and multimedia.

It still has the addition of a massive 10.25-inch display, not only as an entertainment viewer but also a central control for vehicle features. Next is the Internet of Vehicle (IoV), a device connecting the car with the user's smartphone. Control can be carried out via the MyWuling+ application, one of which is turning on the engine and air conditioning, including tracking the vehicle's position.

The cubic is 1.5 liters with a maximum power of 104.7 PS at 6,000 rpm and 138 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm.

ISG functions as a catcher and storage of electrical energy to the battery. Electricity is used to keep the electrical components running, as well as activating the auto start feature when the car wants to move from a standstill. Of course the goal is to maximize fuel consumption efficiency. Even though it's not a complete hybrid car, at least it is able to provide comfort because the cruising range is getting further and fuel costs can be reduced.

Hyundai Stargazer


Hyundai is quite aggressive in penetrating the Indonesian automotive market. The newest Stargazer, an MPV with SUV nuances that launched at GIIAS 2022. It is a local assembly filled with a number of advanced technologies to strengthen competitiveness. The eccentric styling makes it stand out on the road which is assembled locally at Hyundai's production facility in Cikarang.

The engine is similar to the Hyundai Creta, a flagship SUV that also recently debuted. Smartstream 4 cylinder with 1.5 liter combustion chamber. Power is very competitive in its segment, of 115 PS and a maximum torque of 144 Nm. Putting it in second place after the Honda Mobilio. There are manual and automatic transmission options called IVT.

If the car experiences an incident, the user can take advantage of the SOS/Emergency Assistance feature which is accessed via a button near the front cabin lights. Automatically connects with the central operator for assistance. However, actually before users use this feature, the system automatically notifies the help center thanks to Auto Collision Notification (ACN).

All New Toyota Kijang Innova Zenix


The last MPV launched in 2022 is the Innova. This time the name is longer, Toyota Kijang Innova Zenix. The latest generation is not only offered a petrol drinker version, but also a hybrid. Significant changes also occur in the chassis which now uses TNGA: GA-C. It's no longer a ladder-frame but a monocoque. The more significant because the drive is no longer the rear wheels, but the front.

Zenix relies on an in-line 4-cylinder engine coded M20A-FXS with VVT-I technology for both variants. The conventional option's output reaches 174 PS at 6,000 and 204 Nm of torque. The Hybrid is more powerful, where the electric motor which is the 5th generation Toyota Hybrid system produces 113 PS, while the mechanical device produces 152 PS. When combined the system sets it to 186 PS. Torque 205 Nm and 187 Nm respectively. All thrust is channeled via a 10-speed Direct Shift CVT.

Consider This First Before Buying a Mitsubishi New Colt L300

Consider This First Before Buying a Mitsubishi New Colt L300


 The light commercial vehicle (LCV) segment in the country is a marker of economic activity and positive growth of its users. Its sales have always been the backbone of manufacturers and not a few rely on such products for various economic activities.

Most recently, Mitsubishi Motors introduced the Colt L300 update in the middle of last year. This legendary product that has been present for 40 years is now equipped with an engine with Euro4 emission standards.


The sales performance of the L300 is always convincing. Last September, the L300 maintained its position in the 4x2 small pick up segment with a market share of 54.5 percent. This light commercial vehicle sold up to 1,571 units. This figure stayed with the previous August record of 1,546 units.

So what are the advantages of the Colt L300 in the midst of competition in the light commercial vehicle market? Tetsuro Tsuchida, Director of Sales Marketing Division of PT MMKSI, revealed that one of the concerns of L300 consumers is about maintenance costs. Although it comes with a new Euro4 engine, Mitsubishi assures that the cost of this maintenance will not be a concern from consumers.

"We have thought, in the development of this machine, it should not make consumers worry about maintenance. Half the parts of this new model, the parts are the same as the previous model. It is not much different from the old model. So the maintenance between the Euro2 (old model) engine and the Euro4 is no different," said Tsuchida in a statement.

Tsuchida emphasizes on the periodic maintenance that fleet owners need to do. If it is time to perform periodic service, then machine maintenance will be carried out through checking by experienced mechanics and preventing fatal damage. Moreover, commercial vehicles are vehicles that must be ready to work hard.

On paper, this turbo-powered 4N14 2,268 cc engine produces 99.25 ps of power at 3,500 rpm and 200 Nm of torque at 1,000 to 3,500 rpm. The engine is paired with a five-speed manual transmission with a fuel tank of 47 liters for browsing needs even in remote areas.

Based on the records, the old model had a slightly larger engine cubication. But with this new engine it offers the same power and torque. This means that there is an efficiency that the latest L300 users feel.

One of the advantages that L300 consumers love and continue to maintain is the offer of a wide tub size. The length of the trough reaches 2, 630 mm, the width is 1, 600 mm and the height of the trough is 310 mm. Some examples say, the size of this latest tub is able to carry about 4 to 5 units of motors, more than the old model which is only 3 to 4 units of motors. There are also cabin chassis models that can be adapted to the needs of entrepreneurs. The model boasts dimensions of a vehicle length of 4,165 mm, a width of 1,695 mm, and a height of 1,915 mm.

In addition, the popular advantage of the L300 by entrepreneurs is its favorable resale price. From the Oto.com database, production units from 2018 to 2020 are still offered at IDR 150 million to IDR 190 million. If you are aiming for an older year, around 2015 and below, the price offer that was opened was at IDR 120 million. Of course, all prices depend on the conditions.

Mitsubishi Colt L300 is now offered in two variants, namely Pick up flat deck and cab chassis. The first model is priced at IDR 218.65 million and the second model is priced at IDR 213.65 million.

This October, Mitsubishi also offered the Colt L300 with additional attractive programs for potential customers. There are cashback programs or ease of financing such as a smart cash package with 0 percent interest as well as free insurance and admin fees. In addition, there is an offer of 0 percent interest up to a tenor of 1 year or a low down payment of 10 percent. Specifically for this light commercial vehicle, Mitsubishi prepares a direct gift of LED TVs for certain area

Yamaha E01 Electric Motor Can Stay On the Road with 0 Percent Battery

 Yamaha E01 Electric Motor Can Stay On the Road with 0 Percent Battery


The Yamaha E01 concept bike can be tested by the public starting in November 2022. We have already tasted it. One of the highlights of Yamaha Indonesia's claims is about the batteries and systems that are planted on. The electric motor can still run even though the battery condition is at 0 percent.

Explained by the Aftersales Manager of PT YIMM, Hendra, the Yamaha E01 is still able to run even though the battery information on the meter panel shows a figure of 0 percent. This is because the E01 has a special backup power on its battery components.

Yamaha E01 Electric Motor Can Stay On the Road with 0 Percent Battery

"If in normal ECO mode the speed can be up to 60 km per hour, but when the battery is at zero percent, it can still run but is limited to only 30 km / h," said Hendra, on the sidelines of the Yamaha E01 Media Test Ride, in Bogor (25/10)

YIMM doesn't have the data yet. About how long and mileage can be achieved when the motor is still used in a 0 percent battery state. Even so, Hendra did not recommend this. Then it is recommended to charge the electric motor battery to be carried out a maximum of 10 percent.

"We can't say what the range is. But use when the battery is zero percent is not recommended because it takes up battery backup power. If it is often done, then with the character of the Lithium-Ion type battery, its performance will decrease," he concluded.

The Yamaha E01 electric motor uses a Lithium-Ion fixed model battery with a capacity of 4.9 kWh plus a Battery Management System (BMS). The manufacturer claims this motorbike is capable of being driven up to a top speed of 100 km / h and has a range of 104 km with a record constant speed of 60 km / h.

This pollution-free motorbike is equipped with 3 driving modes, namely Eco, Standard, and Power. Each of the options has a different output, more details are below.

  • Power Mode: 8.1 kW (10.8 horsepower) at 5,000 rpm and 30.2 Nm of torque at 1,950 rpm
  • Standard Mode: 8.1 kW (10.8 horsepower) at 5,000 rpm and 24.5 Nm of torque at 1,500 rpm
  • Eco Mode: 5.4 kW (7.2 horsepower) at 4,500 rpm and 21.4 Nm of torque at 1,500 rpm.

The Yamaha E01 has 3 charging methods. Namely Fast Charging which can charge from zero to 90 percent in just 1 hour, then Normal Charging (200-240V) which takes 5 hours. 

And finally portable charging which takes 14 hours to recharge the battery to the brim. According to Yamaha's description, 1,300 watts of home electrical power is also capable of supplying the E01 battery power with its striking record to the electrical contacts singularly (not using terminals or combined with other chargers).

It is believed that the E01 will become a mecca for prospective mass electric motors from Yamaha in Indonesia later. Before the E01, YIMM had brought the E-Vino for trials as well but the continuation of information about the motorbike evaporated.
