Citroen C3 Aircross This French compact SUV looks adorable in a quirky kinda way. Overheard at the Motorshow however, were comments by show goers who were quick to mention how it seemed to have almost similar lines to MINI’s Countryman. While this will remain a subjective matter, we reckon the younger set who wants a unique turbocharged 1.2-litre SUV will surely fall in love with it immediately. Available now with price starting from SGD$98,999 with COE.

Split over two levels, visitors can expect up to 24 brand new models to be showcased at this yearly event


The largest changes to the new S-Class occur under the bonnet, with new engines debuting in two models — a new 4.0-litre V8 in the S560L, and an AMG 4.0-litre biturbo V8 in the S63. Despite offering 469 hp and 700 Nm of torque, the S560L’s engine is among the most economical V8 petrol engines in the world, consuming about 10 percent less fuel than its predecessor. This is achieved with cylinder deactivation technology and the CAMTRONIC valve-lift adjustment system, which deactivates four cylinders under partial load.

I’ve been driving UD Trucks for one and half years, but there are so many things I learnt for the first time in this training.”

Powered mainly by a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine, that on its own, pushes out a decent 181 bhp and 290 Nm of torque.

This enables the hybrid 3-Series to hit 100 km/h from standstill in 6.1 seconds and propels it to a 225 km/h top speed.
