Road trips are a beloved tradition for many of us, but they can be taxing – not just for our bodies and minds, but for the vehicles we take with us as well. Especially during the festive season when long journeys are more frequent, it is important to be aware of the extra strain that these road trips put on our cars.

This Hari Raya, we’re likely to see another flood of cars clogging the nation’s highways. The Balik Kampung rush is nothing to be joked about with some having to endure not only incessant traffic, but varying weather conditions, unpredictable road surfaces, and low light levels especially in more rural parts of the country.

With adequate preparation and maintenance, however, your car can make it through even the longest of drives without any issues. Of course, having fitted a set of ideal tyres to tackle road trips can’t hurt either.

Balance of performance, comfort, and safety

Of course, there’s a bunch of things that make a certain tyre special, but the Continental UltraContact UC7 is special in the way that blends so many desirable attributes together. Continental is a known market leader for good reason, so there’s little benefit in trying to explain and justify the brand’s provenance.

Imagine having the tyres that fit all kinds of situations, a jack of all trades that can perform no matter what mood, weather, or circumstances strike.

In more dynamically challenging circumstances, though these are not classified as high performance tyres, the UC7s are ready to hold their own in the bends, delivering ample grip, feedback and steering responsiveness, the result of decades of research and experience in providing the trusted factory fitment on the most ferocious and exotic road cars in the world.

However, though the UC7’s driver-focused genetics remain evident, its real focus is excelling the day-to-day tasks that we put our cars through on a very frequent basis. Improving the safety, reliability, and comfort levels of any car by even a small margin will translate to a higher quality ride and safer journey.

Home Town Journeys Made Confidently

When it comes to ferrying our families to our hometowns, their safety well-being are of paramount concern. It’s not the time for play or to exploit the extremes of our vehicles.

Thankfully, the UC7s key features are right up the alley to ensure they, and the driver, treated right. For one thing, the Noise Breaker 3.0 technology is something engineered into them very start of their development process to ensure the kinds of disruptive audio frequencies created when rubber meets road don’t have a chance to disrupt a peaceful journey, dissipating the noise before it can reach the cabin.

And let’s face it, the chance of rain in Malaysia is always high, meaning that the Diamond DNA compound is potentially a lifesaving feature of the Continental UltraContact UC7. Its unique silica and resin formulation are proven to yield shorter braking distances and maintain outstanding traction even on wet and slippery roads. Even better, it actively resists premature wear for an even longer tread life.

Paired with Aqua Channel Advanced that vastly improves water drainage and, consequently, contact between tyre and road surface, the UC7’s bring a certain level of security and reassurance to wet-weather driving.

A Festive Deal You Can’t Miss

Making the value proposition even sweeter is Continental’s Total Confidence Plan (TCP), an extended warranty program that provides road hazard coverage for the first 12-months following your tyre purchase, a 1-to-1 tyre replacement, and a seamless claim process via a convenient mobile app, among other benefits.

Not only does the TCP benefits apply to the category-leading UltraContact UC7 but all Continental branded passenger car tyres for 14-inch wheels or larger, including those for passenger cars, SUVs, MPVs, and 4x4s.

Additionally, in conjunction with the brand’s 60 year anniversary being the first tyre manufacturer in Malaysia, Continental Tyre Malaysia are offering attractive e-wallet rewards (up to RM200, depending on the tyre model and size) for those keen to purchase a brand new set of tyres from Continental!

Continental Tyre Malaysia’s latest campaign start from now until 30 June and it is applicable at all participating dealers nationwide or any purchase via Continental’s official Shopee store. Of course, terms and conditions apply.

Someone has apparently snapped a photo of the upcoming refreshed Tesla Model 3  – and there’s a lot of Tesla Roadster in it.

Ever since the news dropped that Tesla would officially set up shop right here in Malaysia, people have taken a more profound interest in the brand.

With this in mind, this bit of news might be of some interest to local Tesla fans, because it seems someone has sneakily snapped a photo of the highly secret refreshed Tesla Model 3.

According to roadandtrack.com,  a photo of the long-awaited Tesla Model 3 facelift was published on Wednesday evening in the Tesla subreddit section.

However, there’s just no way to confirm it, as Tesla dissolved their PR team in 2020. However, just like how roadaandtrack pointed out, the headlights do have some likeness to the now-delayed Tesla Roadster, and that is probably the biggest giveaway.

According to R&T, there have been rumours tracing back to 2022 suggesting Tesla was planning to revamp its most popular sedan with a refresh in the second half of 2023. 

Back in December, spy shots surfaced of a Tesla Model 3 with front-end camouflage testing in California, but that’s all we’ve seen of the illusive model 3 refresh so far.

Lekaed filings of MG’s upcoming car have been revealed, and we’re glad to see that MG is going back to making sportscars.

The revival of the MG brand under SAIC has been met with mixed reviews. 

On the one hand, SAIC has been successful in resurrecting the brand and introducing new models that appeal to a range of consumers, particularly in the Chinese market. 

On the other hand, some critics have expressed concerns that the new MG cars lack the same character and soul as the original British-made models.

Well, SAIC must have heard these critics and is trying to prove them wrong because if these leaked filings from the Chinese government are anything to go by, MG is on the verge of producing one of their most loved cars historically, a two-door roadster.

Autocar has brought to light these leaked filings of the MG Cybertser, their sleek soft-top two-seater sportscar. Of course, with everything these days, it’s fully electric, hence the name Cyberster we suppose.

If we look at the pictures alone, there’s definitely an impression that the Cyberster is a small sports car, but if its 4,535mm long, 1,913mm wide and 1,329mm high dimensions is anything to go by, it is much larger than the Mazda MX-5. Autocar also said it’d probably be slightly larger than the Porsche Boxster 718.

There’s also some details of the Cyberster’s powertrain, where apparantly it will be offered in both single – and dual-motor specifications, with up to 536 hp.

With anything Electric vehicle, we should never expect it to be lightweight, and it’s no different here as the Cyberster in its lightest form is still double the weight of the lightest Mazda MX-5.

The Cyberster will apparently be launched next year and we’re glad that SAIC are making MG sportscars once again, as their most popular car in history is arguably the MG MGB.

The MGB was a two-door sports car produced from 1962 to 1980, and it quickly became popular with drivers and enthusiasts for its sporty performance, sleek design, and affordable price.

The MGB was available in both roadster and coupe versions and featured a sturdy body, responsive handling, and a powerful engine. The car was a huge success for MG, with over 500,000 units sold during its 18-year production run, and it remains a popular choice for classic car collectors and enthusiasts today.
