The latest generation of the Audi Q5, one of Europe’s most popular midsize SUVs is now built on a new platform, with electrified powertrains as standard. At the start, all versions will feature MHEV Plus technology, which can add up to 24 PS and 230 Nm of extra power for short bursts. The car's MHEV Plus system runs off a lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) battery with 1.7 kWh capacity; a battery this size isn't quite common for mild hybrids. It can also be recharged by the aforementined electric moto

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

Almost every carmaker has jumped on to the bandwagon - not just Aston Martin but also Lamborghini, Bentley and Rolls-Royce (and people used to laugh at the Porsche Cayenne). The luxury performance SUV segment is no exception, as you can see with this RM818,000 Aston Martin DBX (before options, taxes and OTR costs). It's hardly the first in this genre of super SUVs, but does it really matter? Taut, handsome and dripping with British sophisti

Following the launch of a supercar catered for the budding vigilante, Aston Martin Kuala Lumpur has launched a special edition of its latest SUV, the Aston Martin DBX Intrepid Aura. While the standard DBX itself seems to be suited for a certain secret agent, we have a feeling this brightly-coloured DBX is more for an eccentric chocolate factory owner. The DBX is a five-seater SUV which means that you can easily fit in the few winners of your golden ticket competition with ease. Just like the sta

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

A recent typology - the science of classification - carried out by Audi shows that China and South Korea are more receptive to autonomous cars on their roads than any other country in the world. Based on the Human Readiness Index (HRI), China records +5.1 while South Korea records +1.2 reading. Spain and Italy leads the way in the European side with a +0.7 reading while countries like Germany, France, the USA, Japan and British are more reserved against driverless cars.
