BYD is very much on the ascent globally, and if momentum were a currency, the brand would be trading comfortably in the green. One of its latest offerings, the Seal 6 DM-i Touring plug-in hybrid, feels like a strategic move aimed squarely at buyers who might not necessarily crave an ...

We took the new DENZA B5 through an off-road course and a towering sand incline, showing off its off-road prowess.

The new electric kid on the Volkswagen block is here, but does the ID.4 impress? The Volkswagen ID.4 is the latest addition to the VAG family, built upon the new Modular Electric Drive Matrix (MEB) platform. It won’t go on sale till Q1 of 2024, but Volkswagen Group Singapore has kindly allowed me to have a sneak peek. There were two ID.4 models on test that morning - the regular skimmed milk ...
