If ever there was a reason to take the plunge into an extravagant vehicle, the 735i is it. Before we delve into this G70 BMW 735i, a confession first. I've always had a soft spot for the 7 Series, more so than its smaller sibling 5 Series. Take for example BMWs from the late 90s to early noughties. Given the choice between an E39 5 Series and the E38 7 Series, ...
Read MoreWith sleek styling, fun-to-drive characteristics and practical efficiency, could the MG 4 be the affordable, all-electric car buyers have been wishing for? MG is on the rise lately, bringing in a medley of vehicles that satisfy customers’ needs whilst on a tight budget. But, their existing range, while practical, doesn’t accentuate the word ‘fun’. Well, they’ve heard, went to the drawing board, and out comes this - the MG 4. An EV ...
Read MoreJanis Joplin would probably approve of the EQE 350+ with glee from Heaven above I will openly admit to being pretty nonchalant when the opportunity to share a test-drive of the EQE 350+ with Sheldon was presented. Having read and watched multiple reviews of the EQS, I wasn’t exactly thrilled to partake in an EQ-product review. You know that saying about how one should NOT judge a book by its sibling cover? Mmmm hmmm… The ...
Read MoreThe all-new Mercedes GLC300e is a petrol-electric fusion that can ease prospective owners into adopting an EV lifestyle. With tightening government laws and the never-ending pursuit of greener technologies, going electric seems to be the foreseeable way forwards. There are lots of reasons to like EVs - they are generally quieter, more responsive off the line and are less pollutive to thy neighbour. But there are still teething troubles in the quest ...
Read MoreMove cargo and make deliveries on electric power with the e-Dispatch. It's not every day that an automotive journalist gets the opportunity to review a commercial vehicle, so when Citroën offered their e-Dispatch for a review drive, I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to play "man in a van" over a weekend. Add to that the fact that the last time I'd driven a van was in 2003, and was ...
Read MoreThe legendary Volkswagen Golf has been given a detune, enabling it to break through into the COE Category A segment. There’s not much that needs to be said about the Volkswagen Golf. Now in its eighth iteration, it has been proven time and time again to be one of the best-selling hatchbacks in the world. The 8th-gen arrived in Singapore back in mid-2021, but astronomical COE prices have meant it didn’t sell ...
Read MoreThe Audi Q3 range is a value proposition for prospective SUV consumers looking for a compact city cruiser. The Audi Q3 has always been a hot seller on our shores, and it's easy to see why. It's Audi’s premier compact SUV and a fierce rival to competitors like the BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLA. First revealed in 2019, the Q3 hasn't had much of a refresh compared to its rivals. But with ...
Read MoreThe Mercedes-Benz SL55 is brutal when you want it to, and docile when you need it to. And it does all of that with the wind in your face. Even for a brand as venerable as Mercedes-Benz, the SL nameplate still holds its own even to this day. Its bloodline started with the original 300SL in 1952, a post-war dogfighter that captivated eyes the world over with its signature gullwing doors ...
Read MoreThe Lexus RZ is the marque’s first shot at a luxury EV competitor, bringing about its famed Japanese refinement and sensibleness. With SUVs being produced by the dozen these days, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the new Lexus RZ is just another run-of-the-mill electric SUV. But, it’s actually Lexus’ first ever purpose-built EV, and it's making a statement for itself. Yes, there was the UX300e, but it was originally conceived ...
Read MoreThe Nissan X-Trail e-POWER takes the Japanese marque to a new high, exemplifying how internal combustion still has a place in today's electric climate. This is the 4th iteration of Nissan’s flagship SUV, if you can believe it. It started off back in 2001 as a cheap and chunky pseudo 4x4, a contender in the vanguard of ‘soft-roaders’ that included big players like the Toyota RAV4 and Mitsubishi Outlander. Like those two ...
