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 ...

Denza has launched its B5 luxury plug-in hybrid SUV in Singapore, with a special launch pricing of $348,888 with COE.

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 ...

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 ...

There was a time when choosing a MINI meant choosing small. Those days are well and truly over when the Countryman was introduced back in 2011. Yes, we were there. The all new MINI Countryman C is the largest MINI you can buy today and also its most accessible Countryman yet. Priced under the $250,000 mark (depending on COE and discounts), this is MINI’s entry level answer to a segment increasingly ...

BYD makes another attempt to conquer the small car market with the Atto 2, but does it have what it takes to appeal in this segment?

After weeks of driving a mix of electric cars, getting back into something petrol-powered felt almost nostalgic. The Mercedes GLC200 SUV may be the entry-level model in the range, but it still carries the poise and polish you expect from the brand with the three-pointed star. Performance That Fits Singapore Perfectly Under the bonnet sits a 2.0-litre inline-four turbocharged engine producing 201 bhp. On paper, that may not sound like much by ...

Most people who know the smart brand remember those tiny two-seater city cars that used to zip around European streets (we had a couple here, too). They were quirky, efficient and almost toy-like in size. Those cars defined smart for years. Today, the brand is in a very different chapter. Backed by Mercedes-Benz and Geely, smart has reinvented itself with a new purpose. The smart #5 sits right at the ...

The Mercedes-AMG GLB 35 is the seven-seat SUV nobody asked for, but we're so glad it exists.

Singapore has a new electric SUV on the block, and it’s impossible to ignore. The Avatr 11, pronounced "One One," is the result of a collaboration between Changan, CATL, and Huawei. Three big names, and they’ve clearly put a lot of thought into this one. I spent time with the Standard Range variant, and it immediately impressed, especially in terms of its appearance. With a 90kWh battery, rear-wheel drive, and WLTP ...

‘SE’. Two little letters that once adorned the boot lids of Rovers in beige with faux-wood trim. And now it’s on the Lamborghini Urus SE.

More than a decade since this second-generation Volvo XC90 first hit showrooms, it remains as composed and confident as ever.

The Volvo XC60 has quietly, and rather politely, become Volvo’s best-selling model of all time. Over 2.7 million have found homes since its 2008 debut, overtaking even the legendary, shoebox-shaped Volvo 240 earlier this year. You can’t swing a cinnamon bun in Stockholm without spotting one. It's the middle child of the Volvo SUV family; smaller and less ostentatious than the XC90, but more spacious and grown-up than the little XC40. In ...
