Lets just be honest. The petrol-powered Discovery Sport isn’t the most economical around. But because it’s the door to the world of the Land Rover brand, you yearn for one. The fact that it has three rows of seats makes you want one so, so badly.

Yours truly took the Huracan All-Wheel Drive on a quick spin around the Marina Bay area, and it must be said this 610 bhp/560 Nm 5.2-litre V10 sports car impresses with its smooth and predictable power delivery, lovely exhaust note and addictive engine roar. Build quality is faultless to say the least, and the cockpit is one of the best place to be in, for something costing just below a million dollars, without options.

But while the looks might be a bit subjective, the quality definitely isn’t. I’ve always marvelled at Audi interiors and the Q2 is no exception. Aside form the premium materials, what you’ll find standard on the 1.4 TFSI Sport are progressive steering, paddle shifters, dual-zone climate control and MMI Navigation with a 7.0-inch screen and a nice audio system. There are even some new matte-yet-metallic trimmings that I’m seeing for the first time too.

Audi Q2 1.4 TFSI Sport | Fun Factor

Audi's brand new model in the compact SUV segment is undoubtedly fun and different, but can it win over buyers?


The predecessor to the EP200, the EP300 is said to improve your car's fuel efficiency, provide better grip in the wet and - the most important factor to value-conscious consumers - lasts longer. In an internal test done at Bridgestone's Thai proving ground, the EP300 actually travelled 11.2 kilometres further, per tank.

But every once in a while, car manufacturers do churn out an SUV that stands out. Or excite, to say the least. When you come to think about it again, this is indeed a big challenge as people who buy SUVs generally just need a big, tall car to move around from point A to point B, and nothing else.

The sixth generation Polo has grown, making it larger than its predecessor in all of its dimensions. This has resulted in more interior space and a significantly increased boot volume, which has grown from 280 to 351-litres. In addition, the new Polo, with its length of 4,053 mm, is only slightly shorter than the fourth generation Golf; but it surpasses that Golf when it comes to its wheelbase (53 mm longer) and space for the driver, passengers and luggage (21-litres more).

The new car will be based on the New Generation i30, which was launched last year. The racing version is designed to take advantage of the best qualities of the road-going model, which went through its own rigorous testing plan, including mileage on the Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit.Work on the design began at Hyundai Motorsport in September last year; building and development of the cars will also be completed at the company’s headquarters in Alzenau, Germany. The creation of this new project continues the work started by the Customer Racing department on the New Generation i20 R5 rally car which showed the high-performance, dynamic side of Hyundai to a wider audience.In line with current TCR regulations, the car will be powered by a two-litre turbocharged engine (from within the Hyundai range), and fitted with a six-speed gearbox and 100-litre fuel tank. The car is scheduled to begin testing in early April, while the first deliveries to customers are planned for December.
