Has the automotive landscape changed drastically since the last Motor Show was held in Singapore, more than two years ago? If the impossible-to-miss presence of EVs this time - spanning nondescript to whimsical - is anything to go by, the short answer is yes.
Like other ID. models, the ID. Buzz is built atop of the firm's modular MEB platform. The two-tone paintwork and block-on-wheels shape make its homage to its ancestors clear, but being built electric from the ground-up means it offers a silent drive, a more planted ride and signifcantly more interior space than before. IKEA runs will be a walk in the park; 1,121 litres of hauling capacity await even with five seated comfortably on board.
A single-motor rear-wheel drive variant is your entry point to the range. But for the more manic amongst us, the Seal also comes with dual-motors, sending power to both front and rear axles. BYD quotes a century sprint time of just 3.9 seconds with this one. Whew.Wagons - or 'Touring' models, as BMW calls them - have been thankfully retained over the years in BMW's 3 Series lineup.
In its second generation as a standalone nameplate - fifth overall - the Rex returns for 2023 in both sedan and wagon forms. Both are powered by the same turbocharged 2.4-litre flat-four engine, producing 271bhp and 350Nm of torque. But the WRX Wagon receives better gains in chassis torsional stiffness this time round - a 44 per cent improvement, compared to the Sedan's 28 per cent.
Furthermore, twin-motor variants of the Ariya are offered with Nissan's new electronically controlled four-wheel drive system - what Nissan has called e-4orce. Designed to shine a spotlight on sustainability in automotive design and manufacturing, the MINI Strip stands out with its exposed body panels, which proudly show various marks and identify the car as a functional object.
The Ioniq 5 is no stranger to our local roads. But the car on display at this motor show is different. A two-wheel drive, standard range, 'Exclusive' trim Ioniq 5 will also be available from the Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Centre, specially designed to be eligible for registration here with a Cat A COE.
If all these things are tugging at your heartstrings, you'll also want to know that the Mazda MX-30 will come with a 143bhp electric motor that produces 270Nm of torque. Powering this motor in turn, is a 35.5kWh battery, which gives this electric crossover a claimed 224km range.It's quite indisputable the moment you set your eyes on the MG 4 EV: This is one of those electric cars that looks like it's ready to zip into the future .
