Jaguar F-Pace PHEV

Jaguar F-Pace PHEV Review

If the regular Jaguar F-Pace is the automotive equivalent of a Swiss Army knife, then the plug-in hybrid version is what happens when you add a bottle opener, USB-C adapter, and laser pointer to the mix. Jaguar’s electrified ambitions haven’t exactly grabbed headlines the way some of their German counterparts have. The F-Pace itself is almost a decade old, having launched back in 2016, and for the most part, this F-PACE is ...

Audi A5 2025

Audi A5 2025 Review

The new Audi A5 is a big step up from its predecessor, taking the best bits from both the A4 and A5. Trying to make sense of Audi’s model naming logic lately feels like reading the fine print on a German warranty card. The car you see here is called the A5, but it's also the new A4. Confused? You’re not alone. Once you’re done navigating the labyrinthine naming scheme, the A5 itself ...

Aion Hyptec HT

AION Hyptec HT Review

The AION Hyptec HT has arguably the coolest passenger doors on the market today, but you might want to stick to the regular variant instead. The AION Hyptec HT isn’t a typo, but a deliberate blend of “Hyper” and “Technology”, presumably the result of a long night between GAC’s marketing and engineering departments. Distributed here by VINCAR EV, the HT marks the top end of the AION portfolio. At first glance, its ...

Kia EV5

Kia EV5 Review

Once upon a time, the Kia magic formula was simple: more car, less money. But, their new model lineup, including the EV5, is set to change that notion. It was a value play executed to near perfection, undercutting Japanese rivals while throwing in a few extra toys to sweeten the deal. And for a while, it worked like a charm. Then came the Chinese, and they rewrote the playbook. In this new ...

Maxus Mifa 7

Maxus MIFA 7 Review

Now, in the wallet-friendly Category A COE bracket, the Maxus MIFA 7 stands out in its own class of MPVs. We last reviewed the Maxus Mifa 7 earlier this year. Its practicality and sensible pricing were key attributes in its attractiveness, and now Maxus has introduced yet another cheaper variant. One that falls under Category A of the COE ladder. But, is the reduction of power a dealbreaker for the practical family ...

XPeng X9

XPeng X9 Review

The XPeng X9 is a sci-fi-styled first-class lounge on wheels, lavishly appointed and an absolute indulgence to ride in. Some cars beg to be flung around a winding mountain pass, while others all but demand a full-throttle run down an unrestricted stretch of road. The XPeng X9, however, plays a different tune altogether. The moment I laid eyes on it, my instinct wasn’t to grab the wheel, but to slide into the ...

2025 Audi A3 Sportback

2025 Audi A3 Sportback Review

The new Audi A3 Sportback continues the model’s long-standing tradition of sensible practicality. There’s something undeniably comforting about a well-cut suit. Not the flashiest thing in the room, not the loudest either, but when it fits just right, you know you’re in good hands. That, in essence, is what the Audi A3 Sportback feels like. Now in its latest iteration, the A3 glides quietly into Singapore’s fiercely contested premium compact segment, refreshed ...

Lotus Emira Turbo SE

Lotus Emira Turbo SE Review

The Lotus Emira Turbo SE stands as a fitting tribute to the internal combustion engine, arguably its finest farewell. Lotus, as the legend goes, was built on a whisper and a prayer, and a borderline obsession with lightness. Colin Chapman, the man behind the badge, would probably break into hives at the thought of thick door insulation or soft-close tailgates. AMG, meanwhile, marches to a different drumbeat altogether. It’s a name that ...
