A decade after its introduction, Porsche unveiled the all-new second-generation Porsche Macan in Singapore. Two all-electric variants were announced as the Stuttgart outfit ramps up its EV onslaught.

It has a combined WLTP range of 516-613 km while 0-100 km/h is done and dusted in 5.2 seconds. Top speed for the entry Macan variant is 220 km/h. Stepping up next is th

Also, please bear in mind that the car seen here is not the

Not to be outmatched by Volkswagen, BMW too have launched four brand new models at a launch last week. There was the X4 M Competition which is an absolute beast that can reach 100 km/h from rest in 4.1 seconds, the exquisite and expensive M8 Coupe and Gran Coupe, and finally our star, the X3 M Competition. The BMW X3 M Competition is the Bavarian’s latest performance SUV, competing against the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 and the Porsche Macan. But we’re going to focus this battle as a 2-way battle betwe
