BMW i4 eDrive40 review: A 4gone Conclusion?

IN BMW, I4, Saloons, Luxury saloons, EVs, Electric cars, Reviews

The i4 is BMW’s first EV saloon, but is it worth a look compared to its other four-door rivals?


It’s just been launched in Singapore, the third in the Mercedes-EQ portfolio of EV models, after the EQC and EQA SUVs. Two variants are available, the EQS450+ at S$527,888, and the AMG EQS53 at S$753,888, both with COE.

The Mercedes-Benz EQS EV heralds a new kind of luxury in Singapore

The Mercedes EQS is the electric equivalent to the S-Class and pushes the EV game on to new heights


For a rather rounded-edge SUV, those downward-sloping headlights and signature pointy Alfa Romeo grille combine to give the Stelvio Veloce a fierce face, akin to a shark stalking its prey. Large air inlets at the bottom of the front bumper add to this fiery countenance, with the adaptive cruise control sensor housed in the right-side inlet. A clamshell bonnet with power creases on either side rounds off the top of the front-end. Around the side sits a solitary black ‘Veloce’ badge on the muscular front fender, reminding one that this is a pretty hot variant of Stelvio. Letting the eyes drop downward, one can’t help but notice the recognizably-Alfaesque telephone-dial 20-inch rims. Shod with 255/45 R20 Michelin Latitude Sport 3 tyres, this combo offers nice ride pliancy combined with generous levels of grip in the beating rain.

Rolls-Royce Black Badge Ghost wafts into Singapore

The dark side of the British luxury marque’s entry model comes purer and more technologically advanced.


What’s new underneath? Having debuted in Europe last year, the fourth-generation Audi A3 is finally in Singapore in both the Sedan and Sportback bodystyles. The latest A3 has been improved both inside and out, and is built on the new MQB Evo platform that that’s shared with the Skoda Octavia and Volkswagen Golf. It’ll be safe to expect the same sporty yet comfortable ride that the previous generation A3 was known for, but even that’s been made even better. The latest model gets a sophisticated new chassis, replacing the old model’s rear torsion beam suspension with a multi-link setup.

The Ultimate R̶o̶a̶d̶ Track Car: The GMA T.50s Niki Lauda

IN GMA, Gordon Murray Automotive, Gordon Murray, T50, T50s, GMA T50, GMA T50s

725 hp of power, 485 Nm of torque, an 852kg kerb weight, and 1.5 tons of downforce – the ultimate road car is now a track car with zero compromise.


But wafting comes at a cost (usually in excess of seven figures). To make it more accessible to the rich-but-not-as-rich businessmen, premium brands like Mercedes, BMW, Audi and Jaguar have made it their life-long aim to produce flagship models that can emulate that smooth road-yacht feel.

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.

All because of the 70 to 80 km/h speed limit, everyone feels they have the right of way to hog the fastest lane, which is, if you were to read the Highway Code, should only be used for overtaking; hence it causes traffic build up, frustrates you and most time wish you could see who’s the culprit and mentally punch his face 36 different ways.

With the M DCT ‘box, the M2 Competition completes a standard standstill to 100 km/h sprint in 4.2 seconds (4.4 seconds with a 6-speed manual) - not that far off the Porsche 911 Carrera S (PDK) which needs 3.9 seconds, just for comparison’s sake.
