Read MoreIn a world teetering on the edge of electric vehicles and tech-packed hypercars, the Lotus Emira arrives as a beacon for purists. It’s the car that gives Lotus the authentic sports car pedigree it needs… whilst the brand transitions to an electric future. This isn’t Lotus’s big money-spinner (that title goes to the Eletre) but rather, the Emira is Lotus’ statement of intent. A reminder that before we dive headlong into a ...
Read MoreThis is arguably the best variant of the Hyundai Ioniq 6 available in Singapore. Avid readers of AutoApp will not be strangers to the Hyundai Ioniq 6. We’ve tested practically the entire range at this point, and each variant continues to charm us with market-leading specs and thoughtful practicality. Though, I’ll wager this single-motor long-range variant is the cream of the crop. It just feels right For prospective buyers, this is essentially the Cat ...
Read MoreThe Xpeng G6 aims to charm drivers with its smart, digital-first approach and eco-friendly credentials. But let’s be real, in a market already flooded with EV heavyweights, the G6 has a tough crowd to win over. So, what does Xpeng bring to the table? For starters, there’s a big screen inside, a trendy light bar outside, and a tech entrepreneur at the helm of the company, no less. All very nice things. But, ...
Read MoreThe Polestar 4 is a radical coupe SUV that has one or two tricks up its Nordic-trimmed sleeve to take on the competition. While Polestar and the rest of the industry refers to it as a "Coupe SUV," in reality it’s not all that SUV-ish. Think of it as sitting somewhere between the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y in terms of size but with more luxury thrown in for good ...
Read MoreThe Audi Q4 e-tron is currently the German marque’s smallest electric SUV, until they decide to make an even tinier one. Audi was a little late to the EV party, but it has now made up some ground with the launch of the Q4 e-tron. We did see the original e-tron and Q8 e-tron grace our shores, but those models did not particularly sell well. That is why, with the Q4, Audi ...
Read MoreThe fifth-generation Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance is an interesting moral dilemma. And it’s all because of what’s under the hood. Gone is the mighty V8, which used to rumble and roar its way into your heart. In its place, you’ll find a turbocharged 2.0-litre engine, an uprated version of what powers the feisty AMG A45. It now claims the title of the most powerful production four-cylinder in the world. Paired with an ...
Read MoreThe Porsche Taycan refresh proves that Porsche’s electric soul still shines bright amongst its rivals. The Porsche Taycan sits in a space that’s neither purely a sports car nor entirely a saloon. It straddles both worlds, doing so with a finesse few cars can match. And that is why, even after four years on the market, the Taycan is still one of the few electric options that can give you that Porsche ...
Read MorePorsche hasn’t forgotten about the Panamera, and it’s now back with a fresh set of upgrades. The Panamera doesn’t usually pop up when we play the "name a Porsche" game. The 911? Sure. The Boxster? Of course. And with the world buzzing about the all-electric Taycan, the Panamera often gets lost in the shuffle, wedged somewhere between the popular Cayenne and Macan SUVs. But here’s the thing: Porsche hasn’t forgotten the Panamera. ...
Read MoreThe Skoda Enyaq Coupe vRS marries sensible practicality with enough speed to frighten your family. This is Skoda’s first foray into the EV market in Singapore. Built on the Volkswagen Group MEB platform, this Czech shares the same underpinnings as the Volkswagen ID.4/ID.5 and the Audi Q4 e-tron. It’s a packed family, but the Enyaq still manages to charm with a lil’ bit of Skoda’s practical magic. Simply clever While its siblings actively do ...
