The Singapore Motorshow is Back—And It’s All About the Drivetrain!
When & Where It Happens
Hold onto your seat belts, because from Jan 12‑15, the notorious Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre will pulse with car‑culture excitement and a touch of healthy chaos.
What’s on the Lineup?
If you’ve ever wondered which brands are swapping oil‑skins for electric skins, check out this fantastic roster:
- Alpine, Audi, BMW, BYD, Citroën, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Lexus, Lotus, Mazda, Mercedes‑Benz, MG, Mini, Nissan, Peugeot, Polestar, Skoda, Subaru, Suzuki, Toyota, Volkswagen, Volvo
- And yeah, Ducati’s two‑wheel wonder wheels will be there to give you the “saddle‑less momentum” vibes.
Why You’ll Be Smiling (and Possibly Crying)
Polestar’s secret world‑premiere of a brand‑new concept is on the plate, but make no mistake—this isn’t the launch pad for fifth‑generation, HD‑meets‑AI dream machines. It’s about electric that won’t burn your pockets as much (roughly). Whether you’re hunting the best deal or simply vibing with the roaring aesthetic, the electric and hybrid cars of 2023 have each added something slick and slippery.
Price Tag Reality
Remember those crazy COE prices that make buying a new car feel like a lottery? The chase for the “great deal” just got tougher, but if you keep your eyes peeled and your budget open, you can snag a decent sweet spot without selling your soul. (Honestly, your chances of dreaming a bad deal‑night dream are real.)
Russ Swift Goes “Wall‑Banger”
Your favourite british precision driver returns with the Russ Swift Stunt Show—no, this isn’t a “what‑if” scenario. Hit those seats in Suntec Concourse L3 for a wild show of:
- Parking tricks that would scream “Seymour the space‑conductor”
- J‑turns, donuts, and a car‑dance routine that might make your neighbours tab‑tune
- Possibility to jump into the car and become a human steering wheel.
There’s even a ticket that’s free for children below 1.2 m if you can find a kid with perfect “zero‑gravity” height. Pick up the sheet for:
- Preview tickets: $12
- General public tickets: $8
- Online + app: Add $1.20 booking fee (check out Sistic on Dec 1).
Celebrity Friendly Fun
MediaCorp artistes are making cameo appearances, bringing a bit of celeb‑creativity to the four‑day marathon. Think games, maybe a bottle of espresso, or the chance to make every Instagram story a validated “Swag Story.”
Takeaway
Whether you’re a purist in the DC‑H hybrid, a thrill leaver for duct‑tape stunts, or simply a budget‑warden with snarky humor, the Singapore Motorshow this year is a “drive‑in” event that mixes heartbeats and fail‑fast emotional rides— all without cooking up any tech mishat. Just clock in, schedule your day, and get ready to rev the sense of wonder!
