Geely Galaxy E5 revealed in China – new EV built on GEA; previews Proton’s upcoming EV in 2025?
Geely has released official images of the E5, which is the first fully electric model in the company’s Galaxy series. Expected to go on sale in China in the second quarter of this year, the E5 will reportedly be priced around 150,000 to 200,000 yuan (about RM99k to RM131k).
According to reports, the E5 is built on the multi-powertrain-capable Geely Electric Architecture (GEA), which is derived from the Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) that underpins vehicles like the Polestar 4, Volvo EM90 and Zeekr 001.
For now, the automaker is not revealing powertrain details aside from mentioning the E5 will come with its 11-in-1 intelligent electric drive and Shendun battery safety system. CarNewsChina reports a filing with China’s ministry of industry and information technology (MIIT) indicates the E5 will be offered with a single-motor setup rated at 218 PS (215 hp or 160 kW) for a top speed of 175 km/h, paired with a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery.
In terms of dimensions, the E5 measures 4,615 mm long, 1,901 mm wide, 1,670 mm tall and has wheelbase of 2,750 mm. These figures suggest it to be a mid-size SUV with a footprint in the region of the current Honda CR-V we have here, which also means it isn’t larger than a Tesla Model Y.
As for the design, the E5 appears to draw inspiration from the Galaxy E8 sedan, with familiar cues being slim headlamps as well as light strips that wrap around the corners of the front bumper. We also spot concaved sections on either side of the closed-off grille that lead into air curtains, while the sides are slightly creased and have pop-out door handles.
Around back, there are full-width taillights with a dashed trim piece just above the Geely script, along with a subtle roof spoiler. Moving inside, we find a large infotainment touchscreen on the dashboard alongside a digital instrument cluster.
Elsewhere, there’s an asymmetric centre console that separates the driver from the front passenger, with the former having better access to a dial controller and the central air vents. The driver also gets a head-up display and hexagonal-shaped steering wheel, while both front occupants can store items in the cubby beneath the centre console.
As reported back in March this year, Proton said that its EV will be an all-new model that is co-developed by Proton and Geely, and it will not be a rebadged version of an existing model. With a starting price that is rather competitive (if sold as such here), could this be the base for Proton’s upcoming EV due next year?

Beijing 2024: Jetour X70 Plus facelift, PHEV versions of the T2 light off-roader and L6 SUV on display
Jetour’s booth at this year’s Auto China featured a few new models, some of which we’ll be covering in this post. The sub-brand of Chery has already announced it will make its public debut in Malaysia next month, with the Dashing and X70 Plus set to be first cars to be launched in the second half of 2024.
Jetour X70 Plus facelift
In China, the X70 Plus received a major facelift this year that brings with it an overhauled front end featuring a large grille with horizontal slats. This is also where you’ll find the main headlamps, with the daytime running lights now being a light strip that runs just beneath the bonnet line.
The changes at the rear are less substantial, with the taillights sporting a new graphic, while the bumper has been tweaked to include corner fins, bold chrome trim and rectangular exhaust trim finishers.
Inside, the updated X70 Plus gets larger dual displays along with a revised dashboard and more prominent chrome air vents. The third touchscreen for the climate system remains unchanged, but the centre console receives a fancy glass-look gear selector.
In terms of powertrains, the new-for-2025 X70 Plus is available with a 1.5 litre turbocharged inline-four petrol engine making 156 PS (154 hp or 115 kW) and 230 Nm in China. This is paired with either a six-speed manual or DCT to drive the front wheels. There’s also a 1.6 litre unit making 197 PS (194 hp or 145 kW) and 290 Nm which is paired with a seven-speed DCT, also driving the front wheels.
Jetour L6
A recent addition to the line-up, the L6 is part of Jetour’s Shanhai of new energy vehicle (NEV) series in China. Previewed by the X-2 concept at last year’s Auto Shanghai, the L6 will be offered with plug-in hybrid and fully electric powertrains, according to CarNewsChina.
The former is said to be Chery’s C-DM system with a 1.5 litre turbocharged engine and an electric motor for a hybrid range of up to 1,400 km – little details about the EV variant for now. The L6 is reportedly the NEV variant of the Dashing and should share the same dimensions of 4,590 mm long, 1,900 mm wide, 1,685 mm tall and with a wheelbase of 2,720 mm.
Moving inside, the interior of the L6 isn’t too dissimilar from the Dashing, with a large touchscreen occupying the dashboard. There’s also an identical steering wheel, while a small digital instrument cluster is integrated into the wide-width trim ahead of the driver. One difference is the centre console, which is connected to the air vents in the L6 but is separated in the Dashing.
Jetour Shanhai T2
The T2, also known as the Traveller, isn’t new in Jetour’s line-up, but the car shown at the company’s booth in Auto China is the plug-in hybrid version. Launched at the show with a price range of between 179,900 and 209,900 yuan (about RM118k and RM138k), the PHEV version is also part of the Shanhai series.
In terms of specifications, the T2 is equipped with a 1.5 litre turbocharged inline-four petrol engine making 156 PS (154 hp or 115 kW) and 220 Nm. This is paired with a three-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT) and electric motor, the latter rated at 224 PS (221 hp or 165 kW) and 390 Nm for a total system output of 381 PS (375 hp or 280 kW) and 610 Nm.
Two lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are offered, with the first being a 26.7-kWh unit that provides up 100 km of electric-only range following the WLTC standard (129 km CLTC) and enabling a top speed of 197 km/h. The second option is a 43.24-kWh unit that ups the EV-only range to 161 km (208 km CLTC), while the top speed is increased to 210 km/h. In hybrid mode, the maximum comprehensive range possible is 1,300 km.
Jetour didn’t list exact charging capacities on its official website, but it did state the Shanhai T2 can handle both AC and DC charging. It also comes with a vehicle-to-load function capable of delivering up to 6.6 kW, with another external power supply in the boot that can output 2.2 kW.

Chinese cars secure a 33% share of global car sales in March 2024 – Geely, BYD, Chery, Changan in Q1 top 20
Chinese car brands accounted for 33% of the global sales of passenger vehicles in March 2024, in which 8.15 million units were shifted during the month. This was revealed in statistics released by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA), as CarNewsChina reports.
In the first quarter of this year, 21.05 million vehicles were sold worldwide, making for a three percent increase from the same period last year. Among the Chinese players, Geely was the sole automaker from the country to make it into the top 10 list for the quarter, the 738,400 vehicles it sold – accounting for 3.5% of the global market share – giving it 10th spot in the global rankings. Domestically, it held a 2.0% share of the market.
According to the stats, BYD was just behind it in 11th, claiming a 3.2% share of the global market (it had 9% of the Chinese market, making it the best performing domestic brand), while Chery was a step behind in 12th, securing 3.0% of the pie globally (3.0% share in China).
Other Chinese automakers in the global top 20 mix were Changan, which was 15th overall with a 2.6% market share (8% in China) and SAIC, which was 16th with a 1.7% slice of the pie (4% in China).
At the head of the global automaker sales rankings for the quarter was Toyota, with a market share of 10.6%, making it the only company with more than 10% of the market share. Second in the overall standings was the Volkswagen group, with a 9.5% share (despite competition, it managed to secure 10% of the Chinese market). In third was Hyundai, with a 7.4% share. Together, the three companies held a 27.5% share of the global sales market for the first three month of this year.
Elsewhere, Stellantis, with a 6.9% share, was placed fourth. In fifth was the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishe Alliance, with 6.5%, while General Motors was placed sixth, with a 5.4% share of the market. Next, there was Honda and Ford, seventh and eighth respectively, both having 4.7% of the market. Meanwhile, a 4.0% share was good enough to secure ninth place for Suzuki.
The CPCA data also revealed the top five Chinese auto exporters in the first quarter of 2024, and they are SAIC (126,053 units), Chery (117,719 units), Great Wall Motor (77,935 units), BYD (51,138 units) and Geely (46,752 units).

PDRM collected RM2.4m of unpaid saman over 3 days of Madani govt event – discount policy to continue
The home ministry announced that PDRM collected RM2,452,510 of unpaid saman over three days of the ‘Program Madani Rakyat Zon Utara’ event, which was held from May 3-5 at Tapak Pesta Sungai Nibong, Penang. The breakdown is in the graphic above, and it’s no surprise that collection was highest on the final day.
Of course, this is thanks to the 50% discount offered for on-the-spot payment. “The PDRM’s 50% discount for summonses received hot response and helped the public to check for saman and pay the fines. Congratulations PDRM for the initiative and thank you to the visitors who paid their summonses,” KDN said in a Facebook post.
Does KDN’s tone and words sound like the police’s policy of dishing out discounts for summonses will continue. Sounds like an obvious yes to us, and since PDRM’s ‘half price sales’ have been used as a carrot for Madani government events, expect this trend to continue.
The cops giving saman discounts is nothing new, but it’s in stark contrast to the JPJ, which under the transport ministry led by Anthony Loke, upholds a policy of no discounts.
Loke said that the transport ministry has adopted the policy of no discounts since 2018. The Seremban MP said that summonses are a form of education, and giving discounts is unfair to those who pay their dues on time. He added that JPJ, as the agency responsible for road safety, will no compromise on this issue, and the cabinet and chief secretary to the government Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali have been informed on the matter.
Which side of the fence are you on?

Bjak road tax – renewal optional, now free of charge; primary service to provide motor insurance renewals
File image; new LKM and driver’s license formats Following a statement by the road transport department (JPJ) yesterday, online insurance aggregator Bjak has responded with a statement clarifying that road tax renewal is an optional service for its customers, and it is operating normally.
The road tax renewal service by Bjak is now offered to its customers free of charge as part of its initiative to make insurance renewal more convenient and cost-effective for its customers. Bjak states that its primary service is to compare and provide motor vehice insurance renewals, as well as VIP services for its customers.
Bjak stated that while other companies typically charged rates between RM3 and RM11 for renewal services, it says it has made the optional service free of charge for all its customers, adding that it had previously absorbed any charges to official JPJ providers.
The company stated that the free road tax campaign is part of a private sector initiative to add value for customers, and is not related to any government mandate, and that it remains committed to providing innovative solutions and service while maintaining the highest compliance standards.
Bjak also stated it has a same-day resolution target for all enquiries and feedback received from customers, and also acknowledged the issues raised by JPJ, adding that it is working with the department to improve the experience for all vehicle owners in Malaysia.
Yesterday, the JPJ stated that it had not authorised Bjak to carry out road tax renewal transactions, refuting the company’s claims that it has been audited and approved by the JPJ, noting that the department received complaints from members of the public regarding road tax renewal transactions carried out through the Bjak website which have not been reflected in the road tax validity period, as well as regarding additional charges.

Kia EV3 teased – new EV to make its debut on May 23
Kia has released the first teaser images of the EV3, which is set to make its debut later this month on May 23. The upcoming EV3 will join the EV9, EV6 and EV5 in the company’s line-up as a new fully electric compact SUV for the masses.
Based on the provided images, the production EV3 looks to remain true to the concept that previewed it last year, which itself draws inspiration from the flagship EV9. Kia’s Opposites United design philosophy is applied here, with notable cues being boxy rear fenders and tailgate.
The EV3 also sports the brand’s Star Map lighting, as seen on the front headlamps and rear taillights that have a distinctive lighting signature reminiscent of constellations. The concept’s partially blacked-out C-pillars can also be seen on the production model, along with a rear spoiler and gently rounded front end.
We don’t get a glimpse of the interior for now, but we should expect multiple displays and a layout that is in line with Kia’s other ‘EV’ models. Similarly, the company didn’t provide powertrain details in its release, which merely states “the EV3 is a compact yet comprehensively equipped EV SUV that offers outstanding performance through its incorporation of innovative technologies.”
According to Kia, the EV3 will go on sale later this year following its premiere, so look forward to that in just over two weeks’ time.

LRT Ampang/Sri Petaling line train to slow down from Bandaraya to Masjid Jamek stations – May 7-10
Take note, commuters on the LRT Ampang/Sri Petaling line. Rapid KL has announced that the train will be moving at a slow speed from Bandaraya to Masjid Jamek stations. This is for track maintenance works and will be in place from today (May 7) till May 10.
If you recall, the LRT track between Masjid Jamek and Bandaraya stations was reopened in February after being closed for more than one year, following damage to the bridge structure and the track near Bandaraya station.
With the reopening Rapid Rail is targeting average daily ridership on the LRT Ampang/Sri Petaling line to reach 200,000 by the end of 2024, compared to 155,000 during the track closure, which needed feeder buses to bridge the gap.
Train frequency during peak hours has been back to normal, with a waiting time of three minutes in the CBD (central business district) and six minutes outside of the CBD, with 37 trains in operation.
Here’s a recap and some background. The said stretch on the LRT Ampang/Sri Petaling line has been closed since January 27, 2023 for safety reasons following damage to the bridge structure and the track near Bandaraya station.
Repair works started on March 17 that year. The two phases were supporting the bridge at P163, P164 and P165, as well as returning the bridge structure to its original position. The rehabilitation works were completed on December 30, 2023, and checks and verification were done by consultant engineers. Tests and observations have been carried out from January 1 to 16 and the reopening of the track has been approved by the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD).

Beijing 2024: BAIC X55II, BJ40 Plus shown in China – SUVs set for CKD local assembly in Malaysia in 2025
Taking part in the vast exhibitor presence at Auto China 2024 that took place in Beijing is BAIC, which displayed the X55 II and the BJ40 Plus SUVs at the motor show. These models are notable as they have been earmarked not just for sale in Malaysia, but they will also be locally assembled (CKD) in Melaka.
Of these, the X55 II appears that bit closer to Malaysian-market reality as the example shown at Auto Beijing is a right-hand-drive unit, while the BJ40 Plus on the show stand remains a left-hand-drive example.
Badging for the X55 II will change for its entry into Malaysia, where the ‘Beijing’ script seen on the show car here will make way for BAIC branding for our market. As a B-segment SUV entry, this will compete with the likes of the Proton X50 and the Chery Omoda 5, among others.
Next, the BJ40 Plus is a more traditionally off-road styled SUV with its more square-edged, straight-lined form, with shades of Jeep Wrangler to its silhouette. Familiar-looking prefix? That would be the model code for the genesis of a long-running Japanese line.
While the X55 II B-SUV above in China gets a 188 PS/305 Nm 1.5 litre turbocharged petrol engine paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, the BJ40 Plus in overseas markets such as the United Arab Emirates gets a 2.3 litre turbocharged petrol engine rated to produce 250 PS and 350 Nm, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
For Malaysia, the aforementioned local assembly plant will be in Pegoh, Melaka, where the new facility will be established by EP Manufacturing (EPMB) over several phases with more than RM100 million set to be committed to the project.
Once completed, the Pegoh plant will have the capacity to produce up to 30,000 vehicles annually, and is set to create 1,000 job opportunities in the state. In addition to the BAIC duo, the EPMB plant in Pegoh is also expected to assemble vehicles for Great Wall Motor.

Shell said to be in talks to sell its entire Malaysian petrol station network to Saudi Aramco – report
Here’s some big news. Shell is reportedly in talks with Saudi Arabia’s state-owned Saudi Aramco to sell its petrol station business in Malaysia, Reuters reports. The news agency cited four industry personnel familiar with the matter as its sources.
According to one of the sources, talks are said to have begun in late 2023, and a deal may be finalised in the coming months. Two other sources who were briefed on the matter placed the deal down at roughly four to five billion ringgit.
With around 950 stations across Malaysia, Shell has the second-largest fuel retail network in the country after Petronas, which operates a larger network. The report indicated that Shell declined to comment on the talks, but said Malaysia is an important country to the company. Meanwhile, Saudi Aramco also declined to comment on the matter.
In addition to its fuel station network, Shell also sells industrial lubricants, produces crude oil and natural gas offshore of Sarawak and Sabah, and is a joint venture partner in two liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects.
The report says that the sale is part of Shell CEO Wael Sawan’s efforts to focus the company’s operations on the most profitable businesses, of which it would now seem that fuel retail is not one of them.
It is not known if the Shell Recharge DC and AC electric vehicle charging network and ParkEasy – of which Shell Malaysia initially bought a 50% stake in and later acquired fully – are part of the potential acquisition deal, but there should be some movement on this front, given that it would be rather strange to retain Shell branding at Aramco stations for this purpose.
According to the news report, the company had indicated that it would look to divest 500 stations this year and next, and is in the process of selling its Singapore refinery and petrochemical complex. One of the sources told Reuters that the company’s effort to sell its Malaysia fuel station network is consistent with its move to sell its refinery on Bukom Island in Singapore, which supplies the network.
As for Saudi Aramco, it of course does not have a retail presence in Malaysia, but owns 50% of the 300,000-barrel per day Pengerang refinery in Johor in a JV with Petronas. While Aramco operates petrol stations in Saudi Arabia, it only began doing so in 2019. It also operates fuel stations elsewhere in JVs with French player TotalEnergies and South Korea’s S-Oil Corp.

Perodua to increase exports by 79% to 1,960 units in 2024 – Alza and Axia recently launched in Brunei
Perodua has revealed it plans to increase its exports by 79% to 1,960 units this year from 1,094 units in 2023. As part of this foreign market expansion, the carmaker recently launched the new Alza (AV and H variants) and Axia (AV and G variants) in Brunei on May 3, 2024.
According to Perodua, the sales target for the Alza in Brunei is 120 units while it is 40 units for the Axia. In terms of pricing, the Alza retails for 30,900 Brunei dollars (about RM109k) for the AV variant and BND27,900 (RM100k) for the H variant. Meanwhile, the Axia in AV guise is BND21,900 (RM77k) and the G is BND17,900 (RM63k).
The company has been exporting to Brunei for some time, and for 2024, it is targeting to sell a total of 460 units there. The Bezza 1.0L G, which is also sold there at BND16,900 (RM59k) is expected to make up the bulk of sales this year with a targeted 300 units. In 2023, Perodua sold 300 units of the Bezza 1.0L G in Brunei, making the country its highest export market of 2023.
“We foresee 2024 to be our first year of our export expansion as we are now at a point where the Malaysian automotive ecosystem would be able to cope with the ever-growing demand of our vehicles both within and outside the country,” said Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad, president and CEO of Perodua.
“Brunei is the first export market we are expanding to without compromising domestic allocation of our vehicles. In fact, we have significantly reduced the waiting period for most of our popular models and even have ready stock for selected models. In addition, our targeted increase in exports will also give greater opportunities for our vendors to grow their sales volume in tandem with the need for spare parts,” he added.

Jalan Sultan Ismail in KL is now a two-way road – from Raja Chulan to Bukit Bintang (Lot 10) junctions
Click to enlarge KL city centre motorists, take note if you haven’t already noticed this big change. DBKL has announced that Jalan Sultan Ismail is now a two-way stretch, instead of the previous single direction flow.
The stretch in question is the one from the Jalan Raja Chulan junction (Wisma Genting and the former Hotel Istana) to the Bukit Bintang junction, which is of course KL’s very own version of Tokyo’s Shibuya crossing.
So, if you’re coming down from Jalan Sultan Ismail towards Bukit Bintang, you can now go straight at the Raja Chulan junction – previously, you had to turn right towards Pavilion. Likewise, if you’re coming from Jalan Raja Chulan (Weld), you can now turn right towards BB.
Cars coming up to the BB junction from Imbi, you must now erase the old habit of entering the right lane, otherwise you will lawan arus!

Geely seeking staff ahead of return to Australia – entry into RHD market under own brand, not Proton?
Geely looks set to make a return to Australia after the sighting of a job posting on LinkedIn where the Chinese automaker is seeking a national marketing director. The brand’s return was also indicated by recently filed trademarks, as reported by CarExpert.
In January this year, the company filed to trademark the Geely name, and before that in October last 2023, it did the same for what appears to be its simplified and flatter logo that was unveiled last January.
Unlike Malaysia that receives Geely models adapted for the local market (right-hand drive conversion, styling adjustments) and sold through Proton, it looks like Australia will welcome the company’s namesake brand. It was previously understood that Geely would market its cars under the Proton name in RHD markets. In an initial announcement from years ago, Geely said Proton would be its RHD production hub
However, Australia was never mentioned to begin with, so we are unsure if things have changed or if this was never part of the Proton deal in the first place. For now there’s no official word on when Geely Australia will begin operations, nor is there any indication of what cars will be offered.
Geely’s portfolio is vast and includes its own Geely Auto products in addition to those from its sub-brands and product series such as Geometry (affordable EVs), Galaxy (premium models) and Radar Auto (pick-up trucks). Under the holding company (Zhejiang Geely Holding Group), Geely already has a presence in Australia in the form of the Lotus, Polestar and Volvo brands, with Zeekr set to join the mix in the second half of 2024, followed be Lynk & Co in 2025.
Several years ago, Geely did enter the Australian market through John Hughes when the MK sedan and hatch were launched in 2010. However, these were sold exclusively in Western Australia for a limited time before heightened safety regulations and a high-profile recall saw the brand depart the market.

Proton X70 update – 1.5TGDi Premium X in black now shipped with pre-MC wheels; 1.8TGDi discontinued
The Proton X70 in 1.5 TGDi Premium X guise has been given an update, specifically for units of the variant ordered in black, while the 1.8 TGDi engine version has been discontinued.
The update for the 1.5 litre Premium X relates to its rolling stock, specifically its wheels, where units in black will revert to the 19-inch wheels of the older design. Other colours for the variant continue to be offered with the newer, current multi-spoke alloy wheel.
First introduced to the line-up in July 2023, the three-cylinder 1.5 TGDi Premium X 2WD has switched to the pre-update wheels likely due to depleted stocks of the current multi-spoke wheel. The upcoming facelift which has been spied running road trials will feature a new wheel design, and so the reverting to the older wheel design could be a stopgap measure before Proton’s C-segment SUV facelift is officially released.
The 1.8 litre turbocharged inline-four cylinder petrol powertrain that the X70 was launched with has also been discontinued, and so the 1.5L Premium X variant now stands at the top of the X70 line-up. This variant also saw the addition of a sunroof to the 1.5 litre version, and so the update brings the 1.5 litre Premium X on par with the previous 1.8 Premium, in terms of specification.
The 1.8 litre engine for the X70 was also shipped in from China, whereas the 1.5 litre three-cylinder unit is locally assembled in Tanjung Malim. In its present form, the 1.5 litre unit outputs 177 PS and 255 Nm, driving the front wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, which is the same direct-injection unit as that in the X50 Flagship.
A briefing by Proton earlier this month confirmed that the facelifted X70 will feature Level 2 autonomous driving capabilities for the first time, and will likely include Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC), which combines ACC with stop and go and lane centring, as well as lane keeping assist. The facelifted Proton X70 is due to launch sometime this year.
At present, the Proton X70 1.5 TGDi Premium X 2WD is priced at RM126,800 on-the-road without insurance, according to the carmaker’s website.

Harley-Davidson Malaysia unveils 2024 lineup, pricing ranges from RM83,700 to RM355,900
2024 Harley-Davidson Road Glide ST FLTRXS Joining Harley-Davidson’s (H-D) range of motorcycles in Malaysia is the 2024 Harley-Davidson Street Glide and Road Glide, priced at RM195,900 and RM211,900, respectively. Also unveiled is the 2024 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST, of which there are only four units in Malaysia, retailing at RM346,900 and based on H-D racing efforts in the US-based Bagger Racing League “Battle of the Baggers”.
The CVO Road Glide ST is touted as the “quickest, fastest and most sophisticated” performance bagger ever. Styling is in the West Coast Custom style, and features a solo seat with moto handlebars placed on six-inch risers.
2024 Harley-Davidson Street Glide FLHX Power CVO Road Glide ST comes from a Milwaukee-Eight 121 High Output (HO) V-twin, displacing 1,977 cc. Output is claimed to be 127 hp at 4,900 rpm with a maximum torque of 193 Nm at 4,000 rpm. This compares to the 115 hp and 188 Nm of torque of the standard VVT-equipped Milwaukee-Eight 121.
Showa supplies the suspension components, with remote reservoir adjustable rear shock absorbers and 47 mm diameter upside down 1×1 forks, also adjustable while braking is done by Brembo. The riding suite includes selectable ride modes, full-colour touch screen and Rockford Fosgate H-D audio system with 500 Watt speaker and 6.5-inch fairing speakers.
2024 Harley-Davidson Road Glide FLTRX Meanwhile, the Street Glide and Road Glide personify the concept of “American Touring” with bagger styling and ostentatious design for which H-D is renowned. Both Glides carry the Milwaukee-Eight 117 displacing 1,917 cc, producing 107 hp and 170 Nm of torque.
Claimed to be lighter than previous, the Street Glide weighs 8.2 kg less than the 2023 Street Glide which tipped the scales at 375 kg wet while the Road Glide trims 7.3 kg from its previous iteration. A new cooling system optimises heat dissipation and rider comfort.
