Top 4 cars introduced in Singapore in January 2018

• 
  1 / 4 Hyundai Kona

  Fashion-conscious drivers will be drawn to the smallest and hippest Hyundai SUV in town. The Kona’s paintwork options are more vibrant than the ones for its siblings, and you can even specify a two-tone roof. Space-wise, the interior is roomier than a Mazda CX-3’s, but less spacious than a Honda HR-V‘S. Like its rivals, the Kona is designed as an urban crossover and will only be available with front-wheel-drive.

  2 / 4 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

  High-tech and well-equipped, this Japanese crossover has what it takes to lure buyers away from rival showrooms. Standard amenities include a head-up display and infotainment system with a touchpad, and you can expect safety features such as Blind Spot Warning and Lane Departure Warning. Performance is courtesy of a turbocharged 1.5-litre engine that produces 152hp, while the handling is managed by Mitsubishi’s all-wheel-drive system called S-AWC (Super All-Wheel Control).

  3 / 4 Lexus LS

  Big businessmen who want a limo with lots of space and advanced technologies will find plenty of both in this fifth-generation flagship. With a 3.1-metre wheelbase, backseat passengers can have up to one metre of legroom, which is unmatched in this segment. The infotainment system has been enhanced, and there’s a longer list of standard safety features, too. Traditional towkays, however, might be put off by the car’s unabashedly aggressive styling.

  RIVAL: Mercedes-Benz S-Class

  4 / 4 Kia Stinger

  The sportiest Kia model to date is a rear-wheel-drive fastback that has the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe and Audi A5 Sportback in its sights. Power comes from either a 3.3-litre V6 or 2-litre 4-cylinder, which are both turbocharged. The V6, with 365hp and 510Nm, gives the Stinger a scintillating century sprint time of 4.9 seconds. The 2-litre unit isn’t anything to sniff at, though. Although smaller, it delivers 244hp and 353Nm, and propels this “Gangnam grand tourer” from rest to 100km/h in 6 seconds.
