AutoTalk – Nils Hesse, VP Product Sustainability of BMW

The unseen part of BMW’s Neue Klasse: Why sustainability starts before the car exists When BMW talks about the Neue Klasse, the conversation usually leans towards the obvious. Range, charging speeds, performance, and digital interfaces. The things you can see, measure, and compare.

Zeekr X Urban Review

The Zeekr X is the latest EV to make its way into COE Category A, but does the reduction in power also mean a lesser product?

After all, Cat A is seen as the ‘mainstream’ category, and its (generally) lower premiums mean that cars that qualify for ...

DENZA Z9 GT First Drive

The Denza Z9 GT is a flagship grand tourer unapologetically aimed at the very people Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and even Porsche have long called their own. And before it officially lands in Singapore in the third quarter of this year, I had the chance to give it a rather spirited shakedown around BYD’s brand new 1,758-metre Zhengzhou test circuit. A Heavyweight That Doesn’t Feel Heavy Let’s address the obvious. The Denza Z9 GT ...

Audi A6 Sportback e-tron Review

The A6 Sportback e-tron brings me back to a time when driving an Audi felt wonderfully straightforward. I still remember the mid-2000s, when the brand began rolling out its TFSI engines. The cars were quick without being intimidating, efficient without feeling dull, and beautifully engineered, making you feel like a better driver than you probably were. You got in, pointed it at a road, and everything just worked. Somewhere along the way, that ...

The Sealion 7 has become a very common sight on our roads. I have seen it at events, sat in it during other drives, and heard plenty of opinions from owners and fellow journalists. What I had not done until this point was spend proper time behind the wheel of the Cat A version (shocking, I know). This one is the Dynamic, the entry point into the range. On paper, it ...
