Volvo EX90 Electric Ultra 106 kWh Review

The one that quietly does everything right. Having spent years in advertising, I remember a line from a former creative director who once described the Volkswagen Golf as the Rolls-Royce of hatchbacks. It was clever because it captured something deeper than specs. It spoke about completeness. These days, “Rolls-Royce” gets thrown around quite freely. Footballers, watches, even kopi machines. It has become shorthand for something that does everything well, with a sense ...

IM 5 Luxury Review

Zeekr X Urban

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? The unique vagaries of Singapore’s COE system mean that for many car manufacturers, having a Cat A-eligible model is seen as crucial for success here. After all, Cat A is seen as the ‘mainstream’ category, and its (generally) lower premiums mean that cars that qualify for ...
