While we lament EVs for not having soul – void of any (mechanical) sound, vibration and engineering intricacy – there is one thing we cannot fault them for, how effectively they pin you to the seat whilst they accelerate into the distance. And it’s as easy as mashing your foot down and holding on, at least in the case of the 2023 BMW iX xDrive50 Sport (iX 50) – which delivered a 4.58 seconds 0-100 km/h time (faster than even claimed by BMW) on its first attempt – on a dusty road no less.

From its win in Le Mans in 1959 to the current Formula One team, green has been synonymous with Aston Martin's racing history. To recognise that heritage, Aston Martin Kuala Lumpur (AMKL) has recently introduced a special Aston Martin DBX in Arden Green. The customised handbuilt SUV is priced from RM 1,072,000 without duties and taxes and just like the standard DBX is powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 that makes 550 PS and 700 Nm. However, just because Aston Martin has been influenced by its

The Audi A6 e-tron concept has debuted at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show. Sporting similar dimensions as the regular A6, the A6 e-tron concept is built on a dedicated EV platform called the PPE (Premium Platform Electric). Featuring large 22-inch wheels and short overhangs, the flat cabin of the A6 e-tron and the wide coupe roof arch give the vehicle proportions reminiscent of a sports car. Also obvious on the A6 e-tron are sleek side view cameras. The PPE platform is a further development from the

Audi has just launched an all-new facelift for the 2020 Audi Q5. The second generation of Audi’s best-selling Q5 crossover had been on sale since 2016 so it's fitting for a fresh new look. The 2020 Q5 looks very sharp with a more distinct Q design language and adds two new colours to its existing 12 – distinct green and ultra blue. For the first time ever, the redesigned Audi Q5 will feature OLED technology in the rear lights. This optional feature is split into three tiles of six segments which
