Toyota Urban Cruiser Arrives In Singapore As A Compact Electric SUV Built For City Life

Toyota expands its electric vehicle line-up with the new Urban Cruiser, combining compact dimensions, practical interior space and a 49kWh battery in a package designed for everyday driving.

Toyota RAV4 2.5 Premium Review

Somewhere along the way, SUVs started looking less and less like SUVs. Walk through a carpark today, and you’ll see plenty of smooth noses, curving rooflines, flush door handles and full-width light bars. BYDs, Teslas and the growing wave of Chinese EVs have certainly moved automotive design forward. After a while though, quite a few of them start blending into one another. Not the RAV4 though. It's been a crowd favourite for ...

One Future, Many Roads

Singapore’s motoring future is changing, and for many drivers, the big question is no longer simply “petrol or electric?” It is now hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or fully electric?

From 2030, all new car registrations in Singapore will have to be cleaner-energy models, including electric, hybrid, and hydrogen fuel cell cars. That sounds straightforward enough, ...

Toyota bZ4X Review

Toyota does not usually rush into things. This is, after all, the company that turned hybrid motoring from a curiosity into a global habit, one Prius at a time. So when it finally decided to build a proper battery-electric SUV, you expected something deeply considered, perhaps even revolutionary. And it kind of is, apart from its name. The Toyota bZ4X, admittedly, sounds like someone dropped a keyboard down a staircase. It stands for ...

Toyota Vios Hybrid 1.5 Review

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 ...

It represents everything Toyota stands for: reliability, practicality and ease of use. The latest Hybrid 1.8 Elegance continues that legacy, though it’s clear that while it gets the job done, it is also showing its age. Smooth but Uninspiring Performance Power comes from a 1.8-litre engine producing 97 bhp and an electric motor ...
