Maserati's official Singapore distributor, Tridente Automobili, has launched the Italian automaker's new mid-sized Grecale SUV. It joins the larger Levante as part of the Trident brand's SUV range.

Maserati designed their new Grecale SUV to be "The Everyday Exceptional", balancing versatility, elegance, performance and innovation, whilst also concurrently promising performance, comfort and safety. All factors have been designed without compromised, so this is still a capable SUV off-road, whilst also preserving the trademark on-road Maserati experience.

mReview: 2022 BMW iX xDrive40 Sport - Embrace The Future

BMW’s new flagship EV offering throws their hat into the ring of the many fast, tech-filled, and futuristic EVs on the market. But the iX has plenty to make it stand out from the crowd.

Fear it. Dread it. Run from it. Destiny still arrives. In this case, destiny is less finger-snappy than the quote’s origins but it still refers to an unavoidable eventuality. We’ve known for a while now that the death of the ICE is close at hand and we now live in a strange crossover period between the outgoing dino-juice machines and the incoming electrics. While brands are delivering their eulogies and last hurrahs, they simultaneously push out and populate the market with the latest in EV technology and the iX is no different.
