Now entering its sixth generation, the all-new Toyota RAV4 Full Hybrid arrives in Singapore with a fresh design, a more sophisticated cabin, improved refinement and the latest Toyota Safety Sense 4.0 technology. Toyota's experience with hybrid technology needs little introduction. After all, the Japanese manufacturer has spent more than two decades refining electrified drivetrains long before they became mainstream. The RAV4 features Toyota's fifth-generation hybrid system, built around a 2.5-litre A25A-FXS petrol ...

Read MoreFamily cars were a simple thing in the past. If you had more than two children, elderly parents, or a habit of transporting half the neighbourhood, you bought an MPV and accepted your fate. Then SUVs arrived, and suddenly everyone wanted height, presence and the illusion of adventure, even if the most challenging terrain was the basement carpark at Marina Bay Sands. Tesla, for all its dominance in Singapore, has never properly ...
Read MoreAudi has spent the last few years trying to make its model naming system sound clever, which is usually the first sign that things are about to get confusing. The plan was simple enough: even numbers for electric cars, odd numbers for combustion-engined ones. This is why the new A5 became the replacement for the old A4, even though the A5 used to be the swoopy coupe-ish thing. Then Audi realised, perhaps ...
Read MoreThe Suzuki Fronx may be slightly dated by today’s standards, but it offers an easy, no frills driving experience that is refreshingly simple in today’s tech-laden market. Apparently, Fronx is short for “Frontier crossover”. Silly name aside, the Fronx is quite interesting. Because beneath the odd badge is a compact SUV that sits at an interesting crossroads for Suzuki. It is smaller than the Vitara, effectively stepping into the gap left by ...
Read MoreSomething is reassuring about a big Volvo. Not in the way a supercar reassures you with speed, or a luxury SUV reassures you with sheer presence, but in a more understated, almost philosophical way. It feels like a machine designed by people who have thought deeply about what a car should do for you, rather than how loudly it should announce itself. The Volvo ES90 is exactly that sort of car. At just ...

Alfa Romeo has officially returned to Singapore under the auspices of a new dealer, Red Rock & Rosso Motor, and they celebrated the brand’s comeback with a special preview of the Junior Elettrica, Alfa Romeo’s first Cat A EV for Singapore. Alfa Romeo, along with fellow Stellantis Group ...
Read MoreThe Skoda Elroq is almost understated, and seemingly content to win you over the long way. Which, if you think about it, is very Skoda indeed. The Elroq sits neatly within Skoda’s growing electric line-up as the smaller sibling to the Skoda Enyaq, and if you’re familiar with that car, you’ll already have a good idea of what to expect. Skoda will tell you it’s an electric alternative to the Karoq, but ...
Read MoreIf I were to buy an EV today, it would be a little quirky and a little different. The Jaecoo J6 bags that mantra down to a tee. Because if we are to embrace electrification, it ought to bring a touch of joy along with it. Whether it is an internal combustion engine, a hybrid, or a full EV, the appeal of a car should always come down to how it makes ...
Read More2026 gives us three distinct variants of the Tesla Model Y here in Singapore, and this is arguably the best one. For a brand that built its reputation on disruption (on doing things differently, sometimes controversially), Tesla has steadily made its way to become one of the dominant choices in the EV space. And the Tesla Model Y sits right at the heart of that success. It is, quite simply, one of ...
Read MoreThe Leapmotor C10 is yet another Chinese electric SUV in the crowded Cat A segment, but it aims to differentiate itself with a touch of European-ness.
Read MoreThe IM 5 marks China’s most credible threat to the Tesla Model 3 yet, with its head-turning style and impressive tech. There are now a large number of Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) populating Singapore’s new car market, in all shapes and sizes. But few have arguably posed a serious threat to the OG of EV brands, Tesla. Until now that is. IM Motors made its fairly high-profile debut here at the tail ...
