Did you know that in Malaysia market alone, there are about 1000+ car models available to choose by Malaysian drivers. In average there are about 50 car brands in Malaysia markets, including local and foreign manufacturers. The question is how are you going to choose which car is suitable for you based on your affordability, performance and best options. For money wise, you have to compare all car models and choose the best one that maximize value and performance. The boring way to do this is by looking at car price list by several manufacturers and doing side by side comparison to get the best option. Having this in mind I have created car guide visualization where you can interactively compare prices, power and monthly car installment of almost all car models in current Malaysia market.

Tips: In the right upper section of the visualization graph there is one box called “Median(X)” where you can interactively change range of values for viewing fewer or focused models. You can also hover your mouse pointer above blue horizontal bar graph to view median car price for that model. Have a try.

Have any comments or visualization ideas to add, feel free to give suggestion in comments section below.
