The A6 Sportback e-tron brings me back to a time when driving an Audi felt wonderfully straightforward. I still remember the mid-2000s, when the brand began rolling out its TFSI engines. The cars were quick without being intimidating, efficient without feeling dull, and beautifully engineered, making you feel like a better driver than you probably were. You got in, pointed it at a road, and everything just worked. Somewhere along the way, that ...

There is something quite charming about a brand that prioritises looks above everything. Cupra has always leaned into drama. Sharp surfacing, moody lighting, copper highlights everywhere. The Terramar continues that theatre, except now it wraps the attitude into something family-sized and daily usable. I spent my time with the 1.5 eTSI mild hybrid, which, on paper, may not scream headline numbers, but in real life, especially in a cramped city ...

The Sealion 7 has become a very common sight on our roads. I have seen it at events, sat in it during other drives, and heard plenty of opinions from owners and fellow journalists. What I had not done until this point was spend proper time behind the wheel of the Cat A version (shocking, I know). This one is the Dynamic, the entry point into the range. On paper, it ...

There was a time when choosing a MINI meant choosing small. Those days are well and truly over when the Countryman was introduced back in 2011. Yes, we were there. The all new MINI Countryman C is the largest MINI you can buy today and also its most accessible Countryman yet. Priced under the $250,000 mark (depending on COE and discounts), this is MINI’s entry level answer to a segment increasingly ...

Turning 50 has a way of slowing your thoughts down, not in a dramatic, midlife-crisis sense, but in a calmer, more reflective way. You begin to pay closer attention to the things that have stayed with you, rather than the things that came and went. Driving has always been part of that story In 2025, I turn 50.The BMW 3 Series turns 50, too, marking its 50th anniversary. That coincidence felt more like ...

If you still think Chinese EVs are all flash and no finesse, the Zeekr 7X Performance will change your mind. So yes, we have indeed driven many EV SUVs. But the Zeekr 7X is refreshingly different. It looks futuristic, drives with intent and packs enough power to challenge some proper sports SUVs. Yet it retains the brand’s signature maturity and polish that set it apart from many of its rivals. Looks ...

After weeks of driving a mix of electric cars, getting back into something petrol-powered felt almost nostalgic. The Mercedes GLC200 SUV may be the entry-level model in the range, but it still carries the poise and polish you expect from the brand with the three-pointed star. Performance That Fits Singapore Perfectly Under the bonnet sits a 2.0-litre inline-four turbocharged engine producing 201 bhp. On paper, that may not sound like much by ...

Most people who know the smart brand remember those tiny two-seater city cars that used to zip around European streets (we had a couple here, too). They were quirky, efficient and almost toy-like in size. Those cars defined smart for years. Today, the brand is in a very different chapter. Backed by Mercedes-Benz and Geely, smart has reinvented itself with a new purpose. The smart #5 sits right at the ...

The Toyota Noah has long been a familiar face in the world of MPVs (albeit through the parallel-import channels). It represents everything Toyota stands for: reliability, practicality and ease of use. The latest Hybrid 1.8 Elegance continues that legacy, though it’s clear that while it gets the job done, it is also showing its age. Smooth but Uninspiring Performance Power comes from a 1.8-litre engine producing 97 bhp and an electric motor ...

My first experience with the Tesla brand dates back to 2010, when I was one of the few media representatives to drive the original Tesla Roadster, imported by a dealer in Singapore. Fast forward, and now I’m behind the wheel of the Tesla Model 3 Long Range, and I am genuinely impressed with how the brand has evolved. A Sedan That Drives Like Something More After a short experience with the Model ...

Hmmm, somehow this works. An electric G-Wagen that still manages to feel like a G is pretty darn impressive. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class was launched in 1979 as a military vehicle. What began as a rugged off-roader has evolved into a global symbol of luxury, power, and status. Today, it has taken its boldest step forward with the introduction of an electric version – the G580 with EQ Technology. It sounds like ...

Singapore has a new electric SUV on the block, and it’s impossible to ignore. The Avatr 11, pronounced "One One," is the result of a collaboration between Changan, CATL, and Huawei. Three big names, and they’ve clearly put a lot of thought into this one. I spent time with the Standard Range variant, and it immediately impressed, especially in terms of its appearance. With a 90kWh battery, rear-wheel drive, and WLTP ...

The BYD Sealion 6 is not the newest or boldest SUV on the road, but after driving it, I understand why it may quietly win over many Singaporean families. It does not try too hard to be futuristic. It simply solves problems that matter. If you only have time for one paragraph: Range anxiety is gone. There is space. It is quiet, comfortable, and reasonably priced. It is the kind of ...
