Big in Japan: A road trip with the BMW iX3

In the land of Kei cars, the BMW iX3 is a giant. But we did just fine: Five adults, plenty of luggage and more than 1,000km through cities, coasts, and mountains. Our time with the BMW iX3 included awesome scenery, traffic jams, charging stops and a few memorable moments. I had plenty of time to get acquainted with the BMW iX3 in Japan. About four hours of it came courtesy of an ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 2027 BMW 3 Series G50 Previewed

We're among the first to preview the all-new BMW 3 Series, one of the brand's most important cars in an era when petrol, mild-hybrid, and full-electric powertrains will increasingly sit side by side. Few cars are more important to BMW than the 3 Series. For more than 50 years, it has been the car that perhaps best explains what a BMW is supposed to be: compact enough to enjoy, practical enough to ...

Suzuki e VITARA 49 kWh Review

Every few months I get into a new electric car and spend the first five minutes trying to figure out where the air-conditioning controls have gone. That probably says something about where the EV market is heading. The modern electric car has become impressive. They are quiet, quick, efficient and increasingly loaded with technology. You can have enormous screens, animated graphics, voice assistants, apps, cameras pointing everywhere and enough computing power to ...

Avatr 07 Review

The Avatr 07 is arguably the most technologically advanced car you can buy in Singapore right now, but it offers much more than just fancy features and gizmos. Just when I thought I’ve experienced it all, along comes a car that can literally park itself. I’m not just talking about those highly advanced park assist systems on Teslas and some other Chinese cars that can do it all for you. The Avatr ...

Lexus ES Electric Review

The eighth-generation Lexus ES is finally here, and it has gone electric. For as long as I can remember, the Lexus ES has been the car you recommend to someone who has already decided that excitement is overrated. That sounds harsher than intended, but the ES has built its reputation by transporting people in quiet, beautifully upholstered comfort while asking very little in return. Now, the eighth-generation ES has gone electric. And ...
