There is something rather poetic about Proton finally building a plug-in hybrid, and the Proton e.MAS 7 PHEV is certainly ready to step up to the challenge. For decades, Proton has been synonymous with providing Malaysians with honest, accessible motoring. It has weathered changing consumer tastes, embraced partnerships with some of the industry's biggest names, and most recently, accelerated headlong into the electrified era. And it has done so rather quickly. Since ...

The future of mobility may still be taking shape, but Hyundai Motor is already sketching its outlines. From a compact electric hatchback to a rugged off-roader and a modular robot capable of climbing kerbs, Hyundai’s latest concepts suggest that tomorrow’s journey could involve considerably more than simply getting behind the wheel. The South Korean manufacturer secured three honours at the Red Dot Award: Design Concept 2026 competition. Its MobED Urban Hopper and ...

Since making its debut as Formula 1's first-ever night race in 2008, the Singapore Grand Prix has become as synonymous with world-class entertainment as it is with wheel-to-wheel racing beneath the lights of Marina Bay. There are faster Formula 1 circuits around the world. There are longer straights, more dramatic elevation changes and corners that have become part of motorsport folklore. But there is only one that transforms an entire city ...

The MG 4 returns with a completely revamped design inside and out, but does the now-renamed MG 4 Urban deliver the same joyful experience as the car it replaces? One of the most surprising cars that I’ve driven in recent years was the first-generation MG 4. It was a sharp-looking electric hatchback seemingly designed to function as a mundane everyday runabout, but it turned out to be one of the most ...

Singapore’s motoring future is changing, and for many drivers, the big question is no longer simply “petrol or electric?” It is now hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or fully electric? With Singapore moving towards cleaner-energy vehicles, drivers are being encouraged to think more carefully about what they drive next. From 2030, all new car registrations in Singapore will have to be cleaner-energy models, including electric, hybrid, and hydrogen fuel cell cars. That sounds straightforward enough, ...

School was back in session, although this particular classroom looked rather different from the ones I remembered. There were no desks, whiteboards or stern-looking teachers. Instead, there was a fleet of BMW iX3s waiting at Pathum Thani Speedway, just outside Bangkok, and a driving programme that involved a closed circuit, public roads and rather more horsepower than the average lesson plan. BMW called it the iX3 Masterclass, bringing together more than 60 ...

I have always had a soft spot for Honda. But does the pint-sized Honda Super-ONE EV make me love the brand more? Or less? Over the years, I have owned two Honda Civic EK4 SiRs and a Honda Odyssey, so I would consider myself more than just a casual admirer of the brand. Honda, to me, has always been one of those manufacturers that understands how a car should feel. There is ...

The new Audi Q3 has grown up rather nicely. At least that's the first thing that struck me when I saw it in person. The previous Q3 was handsome enough, in that safe and quietly confident Audi sort of way, though this new one looks sharper, more expressive and far more self-assured. The lines are cleaner, the stance is stronger, and the whole car now carries itself with more of ...

The Honda ZR-V, while capable, fills an awkward gap in the modern-day Honda lineup. Honda has spent decades earning a reputation for building sensible cars. Cars that simply work. They may not always be the loudest, the fastest or the flashiest, but they have a habit of quietly getting under your skin through engineering integrity rather than marketing bravado. This makes the ZR-V an interesting proposition. On paper, it fills a gap between ...
