Neta X Review

The Neta X is the latest contender in the hotly contested SUV EV market. Unless you have been living under a rock, you would have noticed that the BYD Atto 3 has taken Singapore by storm. Everywhere you look, there is a good chance you will see one. Yet, not everyone wants to follow the crowd. Some prefer to stand out, even if their friends and relatives already own one.

Neta AYA Review

The Neta AYA encapsulates the steep uphill battle for budget-friendly cars in Singapore. Being a budget-friendly car in Singapore is no easy feat.

Volkswagen ID.4 Review – Family Pod

Volkswagen finally has an official EV presence in Singapore with the new ID.4. And it’s been spearheading Volkswagen’s leap into cleaner vehicles. That doesn’t just mean zero emissions during ownership; VW says it has made the ID.4 carbon neutral all the way until you’ve driven it off the lot, by using renewable energy during the manufacturing process. That’s all nice to hear, but is it even worth buying in the first place? Considering ...
