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 ...

Japanese NEVs Expand Consumer Choice as Singapore’s EV Market Enters a More Competitive Phase
Singapore’s electrified vehicle market has moved swiftly from early adoption to rapid mainstreaming, with Chinese brands playing a prominent role in accelerating battery-electric uptake.

Phil Jenkins, CEO, APAC of Inchcape Ng Khee Siong, Managing Director of Inchcape Singapore At the Singapore Motorshow 2026, Inchcape unveiled six new New ...

The move, unveiled as part of Budget 2026, tightens the rebate percentages and halves the maximum rebate cap — a shift that will affect owners who deregister their vehicles early, and could influence decisions around keeping or replacing cars.

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 ...
