mReview: 2022 SEAT Ateca 1.4 TSI 8-Speed: An Even Safer Bet!

Editors%2 Fimages%2 F1653024392328 1653024392328

We’ve reviewed most of SEAT’s catalogue and all their cars seem to offer great value for the mass market. But they may not be the most exciting to drive.

As you'd realistically expect - the CUPRA sub-brand exists for a reason. On the outside, it certainly restrained and conservative, having the exact external appearance as the pre-facelifted Ateca. 

Though that’s not a bad thing; the mid-size SUV commands a good presence on the road with its muscular stature. Find out more pros of the car here!

Toyota’s new RAV4 Hybrid promises to bring the company’s eco-friendly technology to its insanely popular crossover SUV. Does it resonate well with the Singaporean car buyer, or does it miss the mark? We find out.

Ever since its debut into the Singapore market in the early 2000s, the RAV4 has enjoyed both commercial and critical success. Local buyers were enamoured with the SUV's versatile character, from its rugged design to its family-centric practical interior.

And now, Toyota is keeping up with the times by offering a more environmentally – and wallet – friendly hybrid variant of their best-selling SUV. Learn more about the car here
