The Dongfeng 007 plays the long game. Spend time with it, and you will find that its appeal creeps up steadily, and rather convincingly.

The Nissan Serena e-POWER is proof sensibleness and practicality go a long way in a nicely designed family car.

Kia’s first electric sedan enters the market with its bold design, but the EV4 also proves to be a comfortable and user-friendly ride.

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 ...

With the arrival of the facelifted Škoda Enyaq Sportline in Singapore, the Czech marque continues the philosophy of Simply Clever into the electric age. Priced from S$247,900 (inclusive of COE), the refreshed Enyaq Sportline represents the next step in Škoda’s electrification journey. And if there is one word that defines this update, it is confidence. The first thing you notice is the nose. In its place sits Škoda’s new Tech-Deck Face. The ...

First we had the EV, and now the Seal 6 DM-i plug-in hybrid variant will soon be arriving on Singapore shores. 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 DENZA B5 stood out immediately at the recent 2026 Singapore Motorshow, thanks to its towering height of over 1.9 metres. In a hall filled with sleek crossovers and low-slung EVs, the B5 looked less like a fashion accessory and more like something that could drive straight out of the convention ...

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 ...

It is the brand’s first fully electric passenger SUV to land on our shores and follows the earlier arrival of the Musso EV pickup.

The Toyota Vios has always played a very specific role in Singapore. It has been the dependable one. The practical one. The car families recommend, the one ride-hailing drivers trust, the one that quietly gets on with life without needing applause. But exciting, it is not. This new version, however, surprised me more than I expected. In fact, I kept finding myself saying, “Eh, not bad leh,” which in local speak is ...

Hot hatches are supposed to shout. They should bark on start-up, crackle on lift-off and generally behave like they had too much sugar before leaving the factory. Which is why the first surprise with the latest JCW Cooper is this. It doesn’t. Fire it up, and you are met with… a slightly louder-than-normal exhaust note. But otherwise, it's civilised, polite, almost suspiciously well-behaved. If you closed your eyes, you might think you ...

There is a reason you see quite a few Audi Q5 models (across the generations) on the road. For years, it has quietly been the brand’s global best-seller, the default answer for buyers who want something premium, modern and not from 'the other two brands'. But does the new model still deliver? In this day and age of 'bargain' SUVs from the east, it's getting harder to make a case ...

There is something quite charming about a brand that prioritises looks above everything. Cupra has always leaned into drama. Sharp surfacing, moody lighting, copper highlights everywhere. The Terramar continues that theatre, except now it wraps the attitude into something family-sized and daily usable. I spent my time with the 1.5 eTSI mild hybrid, which, on paper, may not scream headline numbers, but in real life, especially in a cramped city ...
