The Zeekr X is the latest EV to make its way into COE Category A, but does the reduction in power also mean a lesser product? The unique vagaries of Singapore’s COE system mean that for many car manufacturers, having a Cat A-eligible model is seen as crucial for success here. After all, Cat A is seen as the ‘mainstream’ category, and its (generally) lower premiums mean that cars that qualify for ...

With the arrival of the facelifted Škoda Enyaq Sportline in Singapore, the Czech marque continues the philosophy of Simply Clever into the electric age. Priced from S$247,900 (inclusive of COE), the refreshed Enyaq Sportline represents the next step in Škoda’s electrification journey. And if there is one word that defines this update, it is confidence. The first thing you notice is the nose. In its place sits Škoda’s new Tech-Deck Face. The ...

First we had the EV, and now the Seal 6 DM-i plug-in hybrid variant will soon be arriving on Singapore shores. BYD is very much on the ascent globally, and if momentum were a currency, the brand would be trading comfortably in the green. One of its latest offerings, the Seal 6 DM-i Touring plug-in hybrid, feels like a strategic move aimed squarely at buyers who might not necessarily crave an ...

We took the new DENZA B5 through an off-road course and a towering sand incline, showing off its off-road prowess. The DENZA B5 stood out immediately at the recent 2026 Singapore Motorshow, thanks to its towering height of over 1.9 metres. In a hall filled with sleek crossovers and low-slung EVs, the B5 looked less like a fashion accessory and more like something that could drive straight out of the convention ...

The Denza Z9 GT is a flagship grand tourer unapologetically aimed at the very people Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and even Porsche have long called their own. And before it officially lands in Singapore in the third quarter of this year, I had the chance to give it a rather spirited shakedown around BYD’s brand new 1,758-metre Zhengzhou test circuit. A Heavyweight That Doesn’t Feel Heavy Let’s address the obvious. The Denza Z9 GT ...

Japanese NEVs Expand Consumer Choice as Singapore’s EV Market Enters a More Competitive Phase
Singapore’s electrified vehicle market has moved swiftly from early adoption to rapid mainstreaming, with Chinese brands playing a prominent role in accelerating battery-electric uptake. However, industry leaders expect the next stage to be defined by wider diversification, driven by established automakers broadening their electrified portfolios and strengthening long-term ownership support. Phil Jenkins, CEO, APAC of Inchcape Ng Khee Siong, Managing Director of Inchcape Singapore At the Singapore Motorshow 2026, Inchcape unveiled six new New ...

The Toyota Vios has always played a very specific role in Singapore. It has been the dependable one. The practical one. The car families recommend, the one ride-hailing drivers trust, the one that quietly gets on with life without needing applause. But exciting, it is not. This new version, however, surprised me more than I expected. In fact, I kept finding myself saying, “Eh, not bad leh,” which in local speak is ...

Hot hatches are supposed to shout. They should bark on start-up, crackle on lift-off and generally behave like they had too much sugar before leaving the factory. Which is why the first surprise with the latest JCW Cooper is this. It doesn’t. Fire it up, and you are met with… a slightly louder-than-normal exhaust note. But otherwise, it's civilised, polite, almost suspiciously well-behaved. If you closed your eyes, you might think you ...

There is a reason you see quite a few Audi Q5 models (across the generations) on the road. For years, it has quietly been the brand’s global best-seller, the default answer for buyers who want something premium, modern and not from 'the other two brands'. But does the new model still deliver? In this day and age of 'bargain' SUVs from the east, it's getting harder to make a case ...

The A6 Sportback e-tron brings me back to a time when driving an Audi felt wonderfully straightforward. I still remember the mid-2000s, when the brand began rolling out its TFSI engines. The cars were quick without being intimidating, efficient without feeling dull, and beautifully engineered, making you feel like a better driver than you probably were. You got in, pointed it at a road, and everything just worked. Somewhere along the way, that ...
