Perhaps no other car encapsulates the fast-changing market conditions in Singapore better than the HR-V. Can it keep up with the climbing COE in its 3rd generation? Perhaps no other car encapsulates the fast-changing market conditions in Singapore better than the HR-V.lg...

No matter how you categorise it, raised family hatchback or crossover, the C4 is a competitive and (no doubt) unique alternative choice across both these classes. With its raised profile and black cladding all round, the Citroen C4 might seem to be intended as a successor to the funky C4 Cactus Crossover.lg...

The updated Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross gets a makeover, with a redesigned front fascia, featuring a sharper and more aggresive looking daytime running light cluster and a new blacked-out grille. At the rear, the polarising light bar across the rear windscreen has also been dropped, in favour of a sleeker and classier, albeit more conventional design.lg...

The C5 Aircross was previously equipped with a 1.6-litre 4-cylinder turbo engine in Singapore, which meant it required a Cat B COE. Cleverly, the latest C5 Aircross on test here has a downsized 1.2-litre 3-cylinder turbo which allows it to take advantage of the significantly lower Cat A COE prices.lg...

The Suzuki Ignis feels so right for our little island. Here's why. If you really think sensibly, there’s no need for large cars in Singapore. Our car parks are always crowded, making it a nightmare to navigate in.lg...

There are some cars that look the same for quite a long time and yet still manage to put a smile on one's face. One of them has to be the Fiat 500. It disappeared from price lists but makes a comeback again in 2022 with a new 875 cc two-cylinder turbo engine. But essentially, the car is pretty much unchanged from the day I first drove it almost a decade ago.lg...

Its more humbly endowed sibling might make more sense, though. If you wanted 7 seats in an electric vehicle, choices are thin. In fact, you only have the Mercedes EQB.lg...

Opel whips up a strong dose. As we've established with the petrol-driven Mokka, it is the strongest signal yet of Opel's comeback. Fun, fresh, high-quality and appealing, it’s a truly desirable product. The Mokka-e is the all-electric version. The fact that Opel is launching a BEV to the local market quicker than a market giant like Volkswagen speaks volumes.lg...

Mercedes-EQ got the EQA out to the market pretty quick - is it a compromise or a complete product? Mercedes-EQ got the EQA out to the market pretty quick, even calling the car an "excellent compromise" in offering the first all-electric compact car from the brand.lg...

The brand's first BEV in Singapore is quite a hit with its quiet confidence. Peugeot is in the forefront group of brands bringing in relatively affordable BEVs into Singapore, which is commendable considering it doesn’t do a great deal of volume here. It might be just what it needs to gain a stronger foothold in the market, and the e-2008 holds much promise.lg...

The BMW iX is polarising with its looks, but it drives as you would expect an EV would. Is that enough as BMW's EV flagship? Let's be honest here. Did we ever consider the BMW iX a beautiful car? That elongated kidney grille has found its ultimate expression in the iX, while squinty front headlights and a slab-sided profile does nothing to ease the eyes.lg...

The EQS previews the future of Mercedes luxury, and it's glorious. If you imagine the era of the Jetsons, the shape of something like the EQS would fit in rather nicely in the scene.lg...

The new Hyundai Tucson has a geometric algorithm derived design to provide the SUV with a progressive character. The Tucson is Hyundai's best-selling model globally, with more than 7 million units sold since its launch in 2004.lg...

The entry into the NX world also happens to be a frugal way to do so. As we found out in the first test drive of the new Lexus NX in the form of the NX350 F Sport, it brought to the fore some key technological advancements, including the new infotainment system, touch tracing steering wheel functionality and e-latch doors.lg...

The Bentley Flying Spur Hybrid, the 2nd PHEV in Bentley's range, will be a foretaste of Bentley's future - at least transient - before it goes full EV. How does it stack up versus its V8 and W12 siblings? We find out at the international press drive at Beverly Hills, California.lg...

Meet the Ferrari 296 GTB, the famed Italian automaker’s take on hybrids. The changing global landscape means that even the mighty Prancing Horse had to go green, and embrace hybrid tech. lg...

The RAV4 is the Toyota SUV that's comfortably bigger than the Yaris Cross, while being humbler and more accessible than the Harrier that's nipping on the toes of Lexus. Its predecessor was a wildly popular car in the early 2000s, and was also sold as a Daihatsu Terios. In fact, it's the best-selling SUV in the world, with over 10 million cars finding homes.lg...

The facelifted 4th generation Santa Fe adopts Hyundai's bold design language. Does this large 7-seater SUV make sense for the Singapore market? Since its launch in 2001, the Santa Fe is the longest-running SUV in the Hyundai model line-up.lg...
