There is so much science, technology, design, engineering and behind-the-scenes processes/efforts that goes into manufacturing an automobile that we so often take for granted. Naturally, we are ecstatic to learn that Audi is the first manufacturer to offer online interactive factory tours (at the Ingolstadt site) with effect from Wednesday, 12th February 2020. From the comfort of your own homes or even on the go, you can learn how an Audi is made from production commencement to the last manual operation at the final assembly stage. Questions? Fret not! An experienced tour guide is present to accompany the virtual tour, share exclusive knowledge and answer any questions you may have on the live stream.

The 50kW DC chargers can fully charge a car in 30 minutes. Over the next few years, SP will introduce more high-powered DC charging points of up to 350kW. Other than SP’s, there are six other DC chargers in Singapore. SP’s new additions will be a game-changer in improving the charging turnaround time for EV drivers in Singapore. EV drivers can also enjoy at least 50 per cent cost savings compared to typical Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles for every kilometre travelled. The cost of using SP charging points will be regularly adjusted, mainly influenced by the prevailing electricity costs in Singapore.

In a reference to its illustrious predecessor and its all-wheel-drive technology, the Toyota GR Yaris will have a GR-FOUR logo on its tailgate.

‘Das WeltAuto’, literally translated to mean “The World Car” is a global Volkswagen (VW) approved used car initiative operating in VW dealerships worldwide. This initiative aims to provide owners with peace of mind and a one-stop solution when shopping for a pre-loved Volkswagen. In the future, Das WeltAuto will also include pre-loved ŠKODA vehicles. In Singapore, the newly opened Das WeltAuto showroom is located strategically at Leng Kee AutoPoint, beside Volkswagen and ŠKODA Centre Singapore. This arrangement unites the group brands. The result of this synergy is Das WeltAuto’s ability to offer competitive trade-in deals without compromising Aftersales support. Every Das WeltAuto vehicle receives a stringent 115-point inspection, one of the most extensive we’ve come across for pre-owned programmes. We are also pleased to discover that Das WeltAuto accepts only used vehicles with an excellent, accident-free servicing record. With the assurance of 100% genuine parts when it comes to parts replacement and a minimum 12 months warranty, customers can be confident that their Das WeltAuto pride is bona fide!

The steady electrification of the Audi product line-up implies a sizeable reduction in CO2 emissions from cars’ exhaust systems.
