The new Audi Q3 has grown up rather nicely. At least that's the first thing that struck me when I saw it in person. The previous Q3 was handsome enough, in that safe and quietly confident Audi sort of way, though this new one looks sharper, more expressive and far more self-assured. The lines are cleaner, the stance is stronger, and the whole car now carries itself with more of ...

The Honda ZR-V, while capable, fills an awkward gap in the modern-day Honda lineup. Honda has spent decades earning a reputation for building sensible cars. Cars that simply work. They may not always be the loudest, the fastest or the flashiest, but they have a habit of quietly getting under your skin through engineering integrity rather than marketing bravado. This makes the ZR-V an interesting proposition. On paper, it fills a gap between ...

The Mercedes-Benz GLE400e, while getting on a bit in age, still proves that adding a bigger battery pack isn't just a novel concept. Just a few years ago, buying a luxury SUV was wonderfully uncomplicated. If you wanted something that could climb a mountain before dropping the children off at school, you bought a Range Rover. If driving mattered above everything else, the BMW X5 was the obvious answer. And if you ...

We recently had the chance to preview the all-new BMW X5 in Munich, and for me, this one felt a little more personal. I used to own an X5, and it remains one of those cars that hold a special place in my heart. There was always something very appealing about the way it combined ruggedness with premium comfort. It had presence, usefulness, a proper sense of strength, and enough BMW ...

There are some cars that feel like a normal model change, and others that feel like the start of something much bigger. The new BMW iX3 belongs firmly in the second group. This is the first of BMW’s Neue Klasse generation of cars, and that alone makes it significant. The phrase Neue Klasse, or New Class, looks back to a very important period in BMW’s history, when the brand found a ...

Following the successful introduction of the flagship DEEPAL S07, the Chinese manufacturer has officially launched the DEEPAL S05 in Singapore. Positioned as a mid-sized electric SUV, the newcomer combines contemporary styling, intelligent technology and everyday practicality, giving buyers another option in one of the country's fastest-growing vehicle segments. Rather than replacing the DEEPAL S07, the S05 complements it. The S07 established CHANGAN's credentials in Singapore as a premium all-electric SUV, while the S05 ...

A key component is its 900V high-voltage system, paired with a high-performance all-wheel-drive ...

The name might not ring a bell immediately. That is because KGM is essentially the new face of SsangYong. So it's a rebrand? Yep, but also a reset. Honestly, it was needed (I'm sure you would agree). SsangYong always had a bit of a reputation. Tough, capable, but never quite polished. Yes, some might also say, 'fugly'. The Torres EVX, however, feels like a clear attempt to move past that. Cleaner design, ...

The 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 ...

There was a time when MG meant something very specific. Lightweight roadsters, British charm, slightly rough around the edges, but full of character. Cars you drove for the feeling, not the numbers. Today, MG is a very different brand. It has grown up, moved on, and found itself in a space that is far more practical and, frankly, far more relevant to modern buyers. The MGS6 is a good example of that ...

The one that quietly does everything right. Having spent years in advertising, I remember a line from a former creative director who once described the Volkswagen Golf as the Rolls-Royce of hatchbacks. It was clever because it captured something deeper than specs. It spoke about completeness. These days, “Rolls-Royce” gets thrown around quite freely. Footballers, watches, even kopi machines. It has become shorthand for something that does everything well, with a sense ...

It’s been more than five years since I first drove the Defender First Edition, and I remember coming away impressed by how successfully Land Rover had reimagined the iconic nameplate. The new Defender managed to keep its rugged DNA while becoming far more comfortable and usable as an everyday vehicle. Fast forward to today, and the Defender continues to evolve. One of the latest developments sees the Defender 110 (not to ...
