There’s no better way to discover what a country has to offer than to explore it by car. We grab the keys to the BMW X1 and do just that.


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.

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.

This information in tandem with the car’s onboard technology will enable the car to adapt its control and driving assistance systems, greatly improving the level of safety, comfort and performance. In addition, it will provide the same information to other cars and the infrastructure.

It remains one of the most iconic rally-bred cars the world has ever seen. 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.

The world has been waiting for a car like this. Thank you, Toyota, for giving us a potential gem.


Did anyone really wonder what a Porsche 911 would look like with four doors 10 years ago? Maybe. But I'm sure even the most creative of minds would have shuddered at the thought of that. Yet, here we are in a time where Panameras are a common sight in the world of luxury sedans.

But let’s assess the way it looks first. It has strong hints of the model (991) it replaces, although subtle changes to the bumper and (add-on) the LED matrix headlamps help to refresh the front-end a bit. The main changes are at the rear though.

So the Ranger is the next best thing. It is indeed a cool looking truck. In stock form, it already has the makings of a mean machine. Although bigger wheels and a wide fender kit will take that up a notch pretty nicely, much like the Raptor variant.

Possibly one of the most rugged cars you can register under your name (yup, you won't need to have your own company to own this truck). But is it worth the money?

Certified Mercedes-Benz Pre-owned cars launched in Singapore

Drive a piece of (pre-owned) luxury with peace of mind.


Every brand will claim to do everything, but the reality is that each brand has clear USPs - so while Mercedes prioritises comfort and luxury, and BMW focuses on driving dynamics, Audi has often aimed its efforts at being efficient and being technologically advanced. Well, the smooth operating RS5 embodies that ethos perfectly. From it's dashing design to the way it moves - this is a velvety jazz ensemble on wheels.

Gimme a high five | Audi RS5 Sportback

Efficient, quick and usable. The new Audi RS5 is pretty much the dream car of most high-flying executives in Singapore. We just wished it was a tad bit more special.


Materials are not of Audi-level, as expected of course. But they do feel robust enough to last for many years to come. To some extent, it is less stressful and therefore more enjoyable to use practical interiors like these as a daily runabout, simply because you don’t have to concern yourself with having an immaculate interior.

A Compelling Case | SEAT Leon 1.0 TSI

Gone are the days where large capacity engines are needed for a car’s lively performance. The introduction of turbochargers has allowed even the base-model in any line-up to drive decently.


This was the fourth year in a row that MINI had organised this for its owners. The trip started with customers meeting at MINI Habitat in the wee hours of the morning at 4 am. This was necessary so that we could avoid heavy traffic at crucial points of the crossover to Malaysia.
