Going Places with the Polestar 2

The ‘E’ in ‘EV’ stands for ‘Efficient’ with this Polestar 2. For some background information, Polestar initially was the performance-tuning arm of Volvo.

The Polestar 2 is based on the architecture underpinning the Volvo C40 and XC40 and is effectively the former ...

Citroën e-C4 – Vive La France

Though compact, the e-C4 can surprise with how sweet it is to drive and ride in. Regular readers would know that I have a soft spot for French cars. This came about when back in the 80s, one of my uncles in Malaysia joined Citroën's sales team. From then onwards, I was privy to Citroën brochures up the wazoo from a young age because he knew that I was enthusiastic about ...

Aston Martin DB12 Previewed in Singapore

Singapore is the first Asian stop for the brand new DB12. On Wednesday 12 July 2023, Aston Martin previewed its brand new fist-bitingly gorgeous "Super Tourer" DB12 to local media. You know, because the term "Grand Tourer" just isn't adequate. This DB12 will no longer be offered with a V12 engine. Instead, a twin-turbocharged four-litre V8 is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and puts down 680hp and 800Nm of torque via ...

BMW 735i Pinnacle – Ostentatious Opulence

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, ...

Maxus MIFA 9 is set to change the MPV game in Singapore

The Alphard-sized EV promises premium comfort and features. Electric Vehicles (EVs) now seem to come in all shapes and sizes. However, if you want an EV that seats more than five occupants, your options are pretty much limited to models built on commercial van platforms. Examples include the Mercedes-Benz EQV 300, and the Opel Zafira-e Life. Those accustomed to the car-like drivability of Multi-Purpose Vehicles (MPVs) such as the Honda Odyssey or ...

What Should I Do When My Windscreen Gets Cracked?

Be prepared for the day WHEN it happens, not IF. You're driving along, just minding your own business and probably rocking out to your favourite tunes in your vehicle when suddenly, a loud "CRACK!" is heard and you see the effect of "stone meets windscreen at high velocity."

Electrified Luxury with the Mercedes-Benz EQE 350+ AMG Line

Janis 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?

The Škoda Enyaq isn’t just a re-skinned Volkswagen ID.4; it’s much more than that. If you’ve read our Volkswagen ID.4 first drive article, I won’t blame you for thinking that Škoda's first dedicated EV, the Enyaq, is nothing more than a Volkswagen ID.4 in a different suit. And you’re not wrong either. Both are built on Volkswagen's MEB (Modular Electric Drive Matrix) platform and use the exact same electric powertrain. Think of ...
