AMG has been open for the last couple years about the new C63 ditching the glorious V8 and switching to a plug-in hybrid setup with even greater performance, but until now we’ve not known exactly how it would hit those targets. As a petrolhead, the headline is pretty bleak. But from a tech point of view, it makes for some genuinely fascinating reading.

Today, Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) have taken over as the car of choice and so unsurprisingly, the BMW X3 has become one the brand’s best-selling models. Although the 3 Series/4 Series are still the brand’s best-selling models in 2021 with 490,000 units sold, the X3/X4 range is closing in with 414,000 units finding homes last year.

Some timely updates and upgrades are set to keep one of the brand’s best-sellers at the top of its game.


Good things, as the saying goes, are worth waiting for. So if waiting nearly a year after the global premier is anything to go by, then the all-new Mercedes-Benz C-Class should be very good indeed.

All-new Mercedes-Benz C-Class arrives in Singapore

IN Mercedes-Benz, C-Class, Launch, 2022, Singapore

Starting at just over $250k, the highly-anticipated German compact sedan makes a fashionably late entry into the local market


And that’s not a bad thing if your other point of buying such a coupe is to show up at some open carpark with like-minded bros on a Friday evening, driving the similar model as yours. Plus, imagine showing up at the next family gathering with your flashy German: On top of the statement you’re making, you can imagine how your female cousins would want to match make you with their friends.

BMW though, always seem the laid-back fella. While Audi and Mercedes-Benz were going all out trying to fill every single segment they could, BMW probably told themselves, “Nahhh… Let us wait and see first, yah?”

BMW X2 sDrive20i M Sport X | The Young Ones

BMW's compact SUV is targeted at the young, but does it have what it takes?


Ok, so you’ve heard countless times how the Germans are the obvious choices. But have you looked around you? My word, the 3 Series, C-Class, A4 and XE are everywhere, to the point they’ve become - sorry to say this BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar - mass-market. There’s that undeniable brand appeal, true, but imagine driving to your college reunion and seeing Mark the rugby player, Jonathan the science geek, Eugene the bully and even Sam the teacher’s pet all turning up in the same executive sedan as you. You guys might reconnect and after this become closest buddies e-v-e-r, but in a nutshell, your uniqueness is no longer with you. Heck, back then you were the coolest dude simply because you could sing and play the guitar.

Italy’s answer for the compact executive segment is actually… irresistible


That said however, the $172k price tag (with COE) does make it sound highly attractive. Its fellow turbocharged 2.0-litre peers are priced even higher: BMW 320i at S$193k, Audi A4 at S$177k, Jaguar XE at S$177k, Lexus IS300 at S$191k and lastly the priciest of the lot, Mercedes-Benz C250 at S$229k.

But it truly was a beauty. So how do you make something that great better? Well you don’t. The new A5’s designer Frank Lamberty, took on this project with the mindset of “improving the design with some subtle tweaks“. With the less-is-more approach, he made small changes to the new A5 (which is based on the new A4), most of it at the front.

And the problem with those two choices are, (a) the E-Class Cabriolet isn’t as youthful and might be mistaken as your mum’s car, while (b) the SLK is a strict two-seater which meant additional passengers have to be thrown into the boot.

It’s the same with this Lexus IS 200t, particularly in F-Sport guise. I reckon both designers and engineers all had it nice and dandy while working on this car - because everything felt right, more so after you compare it next to the current German offerings.

The latest C-Class Coupe is based on the current W205 generation model, and features a much swoopier, flowing body than before. And, just as its sedan counterpart mimics the styling of the flagship S-Class limousine, so too does the C-Class Coupe closely resemble the svelte S-Class Coupe, particularly at the rear.

But boy oh boy how things have changed for Jaguar now with their latest compact executive sedan. I strongly urge you: If you are about to head to either BMW, Mercedes-Benz or Audi showroom to confirm your order for the 3 Series, C-Class or A4 and hand over the deposit cheque, hold on to it first and tell the salesperson you intend to ‘sleep on it for another night’.

One of the few sedans that you can get with rear-wheel drive, the new 3 Series has its old four-cylinder motor replaced by the same 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine found in the latest MINI Cooper. With a decent 136 bhp and 220 Nm at 4300 rpm there is virtually no change in the performance figures compared to the model it replaces. With the new engine however, the entry-level 3 Series is now up to 12 percent more efficient.

Which is a little unfortunate for other brands, to be sidelined by silly Singaporeans who are more brand-conscious than value-conscious; because, if they are really value-conscious, Volvo’s S60 would definitely spring to mind first.
