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 ...

The all-new KGM Torres EVX is now officially launched in Singapore. The Torres EVX marks an important milestone for KG Mobility. 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 ...

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 ...

BYD Singapore ended 2025 at the top of the sales charts, achieving a record number of car sales despite steepening prices and an ever-competitive vehicular landscape. This milestone illustrates just how quickly the Singapore car market has embraced electrification and how decisively BYD has positioned itself within that shift. To understand more about how BYD plans to continue this impressive momentum, we sat down with Mr James Ng, Managing Director of BYD ...
