On 11 July 2026, Polestar Singapore embarked on its first official owners’ convoy drive into Malaysia, bringing a group of customers north to Kluang for a morning of driving, food and shared experiences. For many drivers in Singapore, crossing the Causeway is more than simply travelling from one country to another.

Once upon a time, automotive partnerships largely revolved around sharing engines, platforms and technologies. One company would build the car, while another would simply place its badge on the bonnet. Today's automotive landscape is rather different. Success is increasingly determined not by what manufacturers can achieve individually, but by how effectively they collaborate. Engineering talent, research capabilities and technological expertise now flow freely across borders, allowing brands to move faster than ...

The old-school overlanding formula for cars was simple enough: if it made you work, it must be authentic. Not with the new Defender Trophy though, as we discovered. There was a time when a proper off-roader had to feel faintly intimidating to earn your respect. It needed a touch of gruffness, a bit of heaviness in the controls, and the sort of mechanical stubbornness that reminded you adventure was never meant ...

The Audi Museum in Ingolstadt is a worthwhile visit, even if you're not made of bolts and metal. You don’t need to be an engineer. You don’t need to know what a crankshaft does. You don’t even need to have oil running through your veins.

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”.
