Aesthetically, too, Hyundai’s latest Sensuous Sportiness design identity boldly takes innocuous family-mobiles and adds dramatic styling. In late 2020, this made its debut on Singapore roads with the new Avante. It instantly became the clear choice for someone whose emotional side wanted a boldly-styled car, yet their rational side called for a sensible sedan. Hyundai’s now put the new design identity to work on their crossovers – and if you ask me, it’s turned out even better with the Tucson’s rugged proportions. An Exterior with Funkiness

Hyundai refreshes its well-loved SUV by addressing areas of improvement


However since the Getz was phased out, Hyundai haven’t had a product that small car buyers can put into consideration. But now with the Kona - introduced at this year’s Singapore Motorshow — it looks like there is finally a credible Korean option for buyers looking at the compact car segment.

Compact X-Over Feature 3 — Hyundai Kona GLS Turbo AWD

IN Hyundai, Kona, 1.6 GLS Turbo, Hyundai Kona 1.6 GLS Turbo, GDi Turbo, Turbocharged, Korean, Crossover, SUV, 2018

An undeniably quirky-looking crossover, the Kona has a lot in store


Out on the expressway, the Cashcow is surprisingly refined to drive. Nissan’s engineers seemed to have put in lots of effort at keeping the cabin quiet and as vibration-free as possible; at expressway legal cruising speeds, sounds from the engine compartment are hardly audible, you don’t get any transmission shift shocks and wind noise can only be heard past 120 km/h. Very well played, Nissan.

Bingo! | Nissan Qashqai 1.2 DIG-Turbo

IN Nissan, Qashqai, 1.2 DIG-Turbo, Qashqai 1.2 DIG-Turbo, Turbocharged, Turbo, Tan Chong Motor Sales

Nissan’s compact Qashqai, now with a small 1.2-litre engine, makes the biggest sense for Singaporean drivers


Paired to a six-speed auto transmission (no change here), it now whips out 151 bhp and 191 Nm of torque; despite now 15 bhp and 6 Nm down, the upside here is you get improved fuel consumption. According to Hyundai, it has a combined cycle of 8.4 litres/100 km (or 11.9 km/L) compared to the previous 11.4 litres/100 km (or 8.8 km/L). Oh, even the CO2 emission has dropped from 209 g/km to 200 g/km now; we can hear Green Peace giving a sigh of relief…

Predictably Good | Hyundai Tucson GLS

IN Hyundai, Tucson, Fluidic Sculpture, Nu MPI, Komoco Motors, Hyundai Tucson

It obviously needs no introduction, but this revamped Tucson is surprisingly good


Inside, everything has been redesigned and looks futuristic and cool. In the brief night drive we had, the dashboard was bathed in a soft blue glow and the car feels punchy too. Powered by an all-new 130 hp Gamma 1.6 MPI engine with Dual CVVT, power is fed to the wheels though a new six-speed automatic transmission with manual override.
