On the ever-growing list of things I never thought I’d covet now sits a Chinese luxury MPV that goes by the name of Zeekr 009. An electric seven-seater that can out-accelerate other cars while massaging your back and chilling your drink? That’s a billionaire’s fever dream. Yet, here we are, with a near-5.2 metre behemoth from a brand that barely existed five years ago, making a surprisingly convincing pitch for your ...

When Toyota first lifted the curtain on the RAV4 back in 1994, it was a curious cocktail of part SUV, part hatchback. Fast forward to today, and that cocktail’s been stirred, shaken, and now garnished with digital wizardry and electrified punch. Enter the sixth-generation RAV4, a heady mix of rugged charisma and family-friendly practicality. The new RAV4 retains the purposeful, athletic stance we’ve come to love, but with a dose of visual ...

A 750-kilometre Audi A3 efficiency run, caffeine-deprived co-drivers, and a test to show that comfort doesn’t have to come at the cost of fuel economy. I’ve done the northbound road trip to Malaysia more times than I care to admit, sometimes for the scenery, sometimes for the satay, and almost always with the silent mission to “beat the GPS estimate”. But this particular trip was different. This Audi-led drive wasn’t about making ...

There are many ways to head up to Ipoh and back. You could fly. You could take a coach. Or, if you're like us, handed the keys to a brand-new Audi A5.

The theme was cleverly ...

The new BMW X3 M50 has taken the road less travelled, in a bid to stand out more from the competition. If you were to guess BMW’s most important model, you might instinctively say the 3 Series, the benchmark sports saloon that has shaped the brand’s DNA for decades. Or perhaps the 5 Series, given its versatility, spanning everything from executive sedans to high-performance M-badged monsters. But no, the real sales king ...

Before you even adjust your seatbelt or tap the brake pedal, the Deepal S07 greets you with a cheerful, “Hi! I’m Deepal!” It’s chipper and just a little too enthusiastic, like an intern on their first day who insists on calling everyone “boss”. But as far as first impressions ...
