Lamborghini Revuelto Review

Bullish hybrid power meets classic Italian theatrics in the Lamborghini Revuelto. Mention Lamborghini, and you'll instantly picture wild wedge-shaped exotica roaring down open highways or, more likely, stuck in Orchard Road traffic, turning heads as effortlessly as they empty wallets. So, what happens when Sant’Agata’s proud bull charges into hybrid territory? You get the Lamborghini Revuelto. Hold on, hybrid Lamborghinis? Have the famously unhinged Italians suddenly grown environmentally conscious? Well, let’s just say the ...

Ferrari Roma Spider Review

Ferrari has always had a way with convertibles, but it has been a long time since it last produced a front-engined Spider. Not since the legendary 365 GTS4 (better known as the Daytona) back in 1969 has Maranello given us a proper soft-top grand tourer with its engine up front. The Roma Spider, then, has some mighty shoes to fill. Of course, Ferrari’s naming conventions are as cryptic as ever. What exactly ...

BYD M6 Review

If you've been paying attention to Singapore’s automotive landscape lately, you'll know that the electric vehicle (EV) market has grown into a full-blown battle royale. Carmakers from every corner of the globe are jostling to win your attention (and your dollars), and among them, few have been quite as ambitious as BYD. Their latest entrant, the M6 MPV, demonstrates exactly why they’re turning heads, and not just because it’s incredibly good value. The ...

Jaecoo J6 Review

The Jaecoo J6 is a new off-road challenger from the east, and it packs a serious punch. The rapid rise of Chinese automakers has been unsettling legacy car brands for a while now, but if there is one vehicle that should really be making product planners in the US, Germany, Japan, and Korea sit up in alarm, it is the Jaecoo J6. The sheer speed at which Chery Automobile Co. Ltd. has ...

Hyundai Tucson Hybrid N Line Review

The fourth-generation Hyundai Tucson has been given a mid-life refresh, and it's packing some serious heat. Hyundai’s design renaissance is in full swing, and the Tucson is a prime example. It was already one of the boldest-looking family SUVs around, and the facelift keeps that edge sharp while refining what matters inside. The first-generation model from 2004 was quirky and functional, while the next two generations played it safe, blending in rather ...

Honda Freed Hybrid Review

There are certain cars that become so familiar, so universally accepted, that their presence is almost taken for granted. The Honda Freed is one of them. If you do not drive one, your neighbour probably does. Or you probably sat in one the last time you booked a Grab ride. The Freed’s appeal has always been remarkably straightforward. It is compact, efficient, ridiculously practical, and does not try to be anything it ...

Skoda Octavia Combi Review

The Skoda Octavia Combi is one of those cars that quietly gets everything right. It is practical, comfortable, economical, and comes without the unnecessary fanfare of an SUV. Yet, despite its rational appeal, it has always been somewhat underappreciated. That is, until you step inside one, drive it for a while, and suddenly realise why it is so well-loved by those in the know. Now, with a new facelift, Skoda has refined an ...

2025 Honda Accord Review

If there is a car that exemplifies the sweet spot between reliability, comfort, and everyday practicality, it is the Honda Accord. It has been around for decades, quietly excelling at its job. Think of it as the automotive equivalent of a tailored suit. It fits just right, carries itself with confidence, and always delivers exactly what you need. The 11th-generation Accord follows this same philosophy, but with a sharper focus on technology, ...

Mercedes-AMG CLA45 S Review

If you have ever dreamed of owning something close to an Evo, but your life now demands something a little more polished, then the Mercedes-AMG CLA45 S might just be the car for you. Hear me out. Of course, it is not actually an Evo, but the DNA is there. A small four-door saloon? Check. A turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder that punches well above its weight? Check. A sophisticated all-wheel-drive system with a ...

MINI Aceman SE Review

The MINI Aceman is the latest addition to the British marque’s lineup, slotting neatly between the Cooper and the Countryman. With the Countryman now taking on a more traditional SUV role, the Aceman arrives as the “replacement” for the Clubman. This is a compact electric crossover that aims to give MINI fans a bit more space, practicality, and five-door convenience. How New Is It, Really? While the Aceman is a fresh nameplate in MINI’s ...

It’s got a future-focused foundation Built upon Dongfeng’s Quantum Architecture Platform 3, the Box is designed with ...

Denza D9 Grandeur Review

Ask someone to name a luxury car, and odds are you’ll hear a lineup of the usual suspects: BMW, Mercedes, Audi, maybe even a Lexus. Certainly not the Denza D9. But in recent years, the Chinese have been elbowing their way onto that list with a kind of determination that other nations can only dream of. And that’s precisely the attitude BYD brings with the new Denza D9; a bold, spacious MPV ...

Toyota Camry Hybrid Review

The humble saloon has taken a bit of a backseat lately, thanks to the influx of SUVs. But, the Toyota Camry Hybrid has bravely kept its place on the pedestal. SUVs, with their higher ground clearance and bulkier frames, have managed to lure the majority of buyers away from traditional saloons. But, if you’re the type that still prefers a sleek, low-slung drive, the Toyota Camry Hybrid has made a return to ...

Nissan Ariya Review

The Nissan Ariya is the Japanese brand’s newest electric crossover with bold looks and a touch of Japanese minimalism. This is the long-awaited Nissan Ariya. Born as a concept in 2020, it was quietly delayed due to the pandemic and chip shortages, only starting production in late 2022. If the Leaf got you thinking about affordable EVs over a decade ago, the Ariya is here to remind you that Nissan is still ...

Kia Carnival Hybrid Facelift Review

Finally, a hybrid version of the Kia Carnival Hybrid. But, is it better than the old diesel? Kia’s flagship family mover, the Carnival, has finally caught up with Kia’s hybrid lineup. With the diesel now a distant memory, Kia is throwing down the gauntlet for spacious, eco-friendly transport. But does the new Carnival Hybrid offer the efficiency we’ve all been waiting for, or is it more style than substance? Looks like that mean ...
