New BMW 7 Series Arrives In Singapore With Neue Klasse Technology

BMW's flagship luxury saloon receives its most extensive update yet, introducing a new design, advanced digital features and a choice of petrol or fully electric powertrains. For nearly five decades, BMW's flagship saloon has represented the pinnacle of the German manufacturer's engineering, combining executive comfort with the sort of driving dynamics one would normally associate with something considerably smaller. Now, the latest BMW 7 Series has arrived in Singapore, bringing with it ...

Dongfeng 007 Prestige Review

The entry-level Dongfeng 007 has a smaller battery and half the power of the version above it. The most important number on the Dongfeng 007 Prestige is not 007. It is 99. That is how many kilowatts its electric motor produces, and in Singapore that keeps this sleek, nearly five-metre-long electric fastback within Category A COE. And despite having less power, it has the same basic body, much of the same equipment and ...

Jaecoo J8 Review

The seven-seat Jaecoo J8 has a petrol engine, two electric motors and 422bhp. Oddly, the best thing the engine can do is keep quiet. The Jaecoo J8 is a plug-in hybrid, although you could quite easily drive one for a while and forget about the petrol part. This is because its 1.5-litre turbocharged engine spends much of its time behaving like somebody working backstage. It switches on when required, generates electricity, contributes ...

Lamborghini Temerario Review

The Lamborghini Temerario can creep away silently on electricity. It can also spin its V8 to 10,000rpm. Apparently, compromise means something different in Sant’Agata. The strangest thing about starting a Lamborghini Temerario is that, sometimes, nothing happens. You lift the little red fighter-jet cover, thumb the starter and wait for the sort of explosion that normally accompanies waking a Lamborghini. Instead, there is a whirr. Perhaps a beep. Then silence. The Temerario defaults ...

Mazda 6e Review

The new Mazda 6e electric fastback is handsome, spacious and capable of travelling 560km on a charge. The strange bit is that the most un-Mazda thing about it is sitting right in front of you. Mazda has spent years teaching us that cars should be easy to use. Its infotainment screens were deliberately kept out of reach. There were rotary controllers between the seats. Buttons operated important things. Even when everyone else ...

Subaru e-Outback Review

The Subaru e-Outback is quicker to 100 km/h than some old WRXs, and it has a huge boot and roof rails you can actually put things on. Priorities, apparently. There was a time when the words “fastest Subaru” would have conjured up a large rear wing, gold wheels and something blue hurtling sideways through a Welsh forest. Now, the title belongs to an electric family car, and there is no enormous bonnet ...

Mercedes-AMG GLC 53 Arrives In Singapore, As Electric GT 4-Door Coupé Makes An Appearance

Mercedes-AMG introduces its latest performance SUV and Coupé ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix, alongside a glimpse of its all-electric future.

An overboost function temporarily increases torque to 640Nm for up to ten seconds, allowing both variants to accelerate from 0-100km/h in just 4.2 seconds. The engine benefits from a redesigned cylinder head, ...

Toyota Urban Cruiser Arrives In Singapore As A Compact Electric SUV Built For City Life

Toyota expands its electric vehicle line-up with the new Urban Cruiser, combining compact dimensions, practical interior space and a 49kWh battery in a package designed for everyday driving. Not every electric SUV needs to be enormous, outrageously powerful or capable of accelerating like a sports car. Sometimes, all you really need is something that fits comfortably into a multi-storey car park, carries the family and does not make navigating Singapore's increasingly ...

New Mercedes-Benz GLB Hybrid Arrives In Singapore

The Mercedes-Benz GLB hybrid gains a new 48-volt hybrid system that can drive briefly on electric power, alongside the latest MBUX technology and expanded driver assistance. At its heart is a newly developed 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing 130hp and 200Nm. More interesting is the 22kW electric motor integrated directly into the new eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. It draws power from a 1.3kWh lithium-ion battery and, unlike a conventional mild hybrid that merely ...
