With a less-is-more approach, the Polestar 2 Core Edition offers a more value-for-money entry into the Swedish brand. What first comes to mind when you think of Sweden? IKEA, and probably ABBA. But there's plenty more that has come out of Sweden besides flat-pack furniture, meatballs and impossibly-catchy pop songs. Founded as a standalone brand just eight years ago and headquartered in Torslanda, Sweden, Polestar is a design-forward electric performance brand that wants to put its Scandinavian mark on the EV landscape. To that end, the Polestar 2 Core Edition is a Singapore-exclusive offering that invites Singapore drivers to experience electrification with a Swedish twist. Here's five ways that the Polestar 2 Core Edition delivers on its less-is-more approach: 1. Premium entry With the Polestar 2 Core Edition, the brand seeks to deliver premium quality at an approachable price point. Given the price sensitivity of customers (especially with COE premiums where they are today), it is understandable that brands typically offer cars with reduced performance to negotiate the COE system and duck into a more palatable category. The Polestar 2 Core Edition is a Singapore-exclusive offering, and marks the entry-point to the Swedish brand At the sub-$200,000 price point that the Polestar 2 Core Edition is being pitched, most EV offerings will understandably be offered with a detuned powertrain to make it Cat A-eligible. Yet, the Polestar 2 Core Edition remains a Cat B model (power stands at 170kW), offering buyers seeking extra performance a value buy. However, as the name would suggest, this model aims to deliver the essential Polestar qualities, with a streamlined feature set to ensure that the model remains competitively priced. Performance is core to the brand identity, and so naturally the car's output remains unchanged. Essential functions like safety and driver assistance systems all come as standard. And of course, premium quality and the requisite Swedish luxury is core to the Polestar experience. The car's sleek design is marked by sharp, clean lines, and the lighting signature is immediately recognisable 2. Minimalist design It's perhaps fitting that this less-is-more offering works in concert with the brand's broader positioning. Take for example the car's design - sleek and minimalist, with a heavy dose of Scandinavian chic and simplicity. The exterior is defined by clean lines and simple yet elegant shapes. With it's raised ride height and fastback silhouette, it also cuts a distinct figure on the road. Also immediately distinguishable is the car's lighting signature: Signature DRLs at the front, square-bracket-shaped lights at the back. The infotainment interface is thoughtfully designed and easy to use, while rear passengers can also expect to lounge in premium comfort 3. Chic functionality That minimalist aesthetic also extends into the cabin. With a simplified approach to functionality, the cabin's pared back design focuses on delivering a calm and soothing ambience, together with an approachable user experience. Here, the focus on functionality is clear - you won't find gimmicky rotating screens, or be inundated with extraneous features. The infotainment system is thoughtfully organised and simple-to-operate, while physical controls have been pared back to the essential functions. Even the streamlined colours on the digital screens are consistent with the broader aesthetic - making sure there isn't any sensory overload. Premium comfort is the name of the game - the genuine leather upholstery means that all passengers on board will be lounging comfortably, and build quality is high throughout. And on the design-front, muted tones and simply composed lines have a soothing and calming effect. The 405-litre boot is easily accessed via the liftback The Polestar 2 Core Edition comes standard with an extensive suite of safety and driver assistance systems 4. Practical living With the Polestar 2 Core Edition, the streamlined equipment list means that you get what's essential and important, and the car remains as practical as ever. The liftback offers easy and convenient access to the 405-litre boot, which also has practical touches like the flip up boot partition with integrated hooks. An additional 35-litre storage compartment under the bonnet is handy for storing the charging cable, or other items as well. The car also comes as standard with an extensive suite of safety systems, useful driver assistance features such as Pilot Assist, as well as four cameras providing a 360-degree view to facilitate parking. With 170kW and 330Nm of instant electric torque, the Polestar 2 Core Edition delivers effortless acceleration and ample performance 5. Approachable performance The single electric motor produces 170kW and 330Nm of torque, offering brisk acceleration delivered in noiseless manner. The 69kWh battery delivers up to 478km of range. But beyond the raw numbers, the Polestar 2 also finds a nice balance between cruising comfort and dynamic road holding - alert enough when driven eagerly, but also smooth and easy-going when there are passengers aboard. You can also adjust the steering weight, level of regenerative braking, as well as choose whether the car creeps, allowing you to customise the driving experience to you own preference. Premium approach Where others might take a brashly-loud approach to getting heard, the Polestar approach is instead of a quieter (but no less forward-looking) disposition. Amidst an increasingly crowded segment, Polestar is staking its Swedish claim against the likes of American/Chinese competition. And the brand looks to deliver performance and premium quality in equal measure - yet always executed with a sleekness that buyers come to expect from a Swedish brand. The Polestar 2 Core Edition serves as an entry into the Polestar brand, and the less-is-more approach is clear - the streamlined feature set gives buyers a more value-for-money option, while still retaining essential qualities that mark it out as a distinctive and recognisable Polestar product. The Polestar 2 Core Edition is currently offered at a promotional price of $186,000 inclusive of COE (price correct at time of publication, subject to terms and conditions).

All who joined us at the latest Mycarforum hangout with the Smart #1 got the chance to learn more about one of newest brands to officially enter Singapore. After visiting the Lexus LBX in May, Mycarforum has now visited yet another crossover also perfect for taking on Singapore's streets! This time, we visited the new Smart #1, in both its 'Pro+' and 'Brabus' variants, at a swanky new pop-up showroom, located at 209 Pandan Gardens Road. This new space is set to serve as the temporary home for the newly-arrived-in-Singapore Smart brand until renovation work is completed at its permanent showroom located at level 3 of Mercedes-Benz Centre. If you're unfamiliar with the cars, here's a quick low-down on them: Sales of the all-electric Smart #1 kicked off here in Singapore only in April of 2024. The Smart #1 in its 'Pro+' variant comes with a total of 268bhp alongside a 66kWh battery, which allows you to cover a claimed 420km before its battery goes flat. The Smart #1 'Brabus', meanwhile, will please those looking for a bit more zest in their daily commute. Offering a total of 422bhp, this electric crossover will complete the century sprint in just 3.9 seconds. All this is made possible thanks to a battery which offers the same 66kWh capacity as the Smart #1 Pro+, but the greater energy consumption of the Brabus means you’ll be able to cover close to 400km before you'll need to plug the car back to a charger. And if they look a little familiar, there's a fair chance you're already seen them (other than here on Sgcarmart, that is). The cars have already visited locations including VivoCity, Jewel at Changi Airport, and Waterway point in a host of roadshows organised by Smart itself. The morning's Mycarforum hangout, however, is designed to give those interested in the cars the opportunity to get to know them better in a more exclusive setting. Those attending not only managed to catch some of the impressions of the Smart #1 from our own Editorial Manager, Mr. Desmond Chan, but also got a more comprehensive guide through the history of the Smart brand as well as the features of the cars themselves from Mr. Christopher Thenadi, Head of Operations for Smart at Cycle & Carriage Singapore. And there was more: Those in attendance also got to take part in a contest that saw them scanning QR codes pasted throughout the cars at the event. These QR codes would direct them to different questions about the cars, and those who answered the most questions correctly got to walk away from this Mycarforum hangout with various Smart merchandise! And of course, those present also got to get behind the wheel of both cars, so they could experience the generous cabin space - a product of the car's clever packaging, as well as the instantaneous torque of an electric car for themselves. Interested in joining the next Mycarforum hangout session? Be sure to look out for the notification when we've planned our next event at the Mycarforum homepage here! Those keen to try out the Smart #1 Pro+ or the Smart #1 Brabus can also sign up for a test drive with Smart here! See just what went down the rest of the morning via the photos below!

Whether it's the 216i Gran Coupe or the mighty M5 that you drive, Eurokars' new servicing package offers you the chance to keep it in constant, good care. Regardless of what car you drive, the backing of an authorised name will always provide unparalleled assurance when the time for routine servicing inevitably arrives. This applies all the more so to more intricately-built machines, like those from BMW. On the one hand, it is essential that your BMW is handled by carefully trained technicians who are well-attuned to its mechanical ins and outs. The important second half of the equation, however, is that only products and parts of the highest, certified quality should be used throughout the entire process. Thankfully, a new servicing package has been introduced by BMW Eurokars Auto - to allay this very specific set of concerns. A comprehensive servicing package, to keep your BMW in tip-top condition Named the Supersaver Engine Oil Servicing Package, the package entitles a driver to three rounds of engine oil servicing, with the guarantee that only original BMW-approved engine oils will be used. When you send your BMW in, you'll also be entitled to an original BMW engine oil filter service, and a BMW windscreen washer additive. That's not where it ends. Each round of servicing comes with a comprehensive vehicle check, as per official BMW guidelines. Once the servicing is complete, you can even look forward to your car returning to you in spanking clean condition too, thanks to a complimentary car wash by Eurokars to cap off every session. Regardless of what lies under the hood of your BMW - whether it's an inline-three, inline-six or V8 - every model is eligible for the package too. Prices will vary based on how many cylinders your car's engine has, but this means that the Supersaver package is extended even to M cars. For now, here's how the pricing goes*: The full five-star experience guaranteed, with the latest Eurokars facilities Fans of the brand should know that Eurokars Group just opened its spanking and stunning new Eurokars Centre along Kung Chong Road in December last year, which houses an all-new BMW Eurokars Authorised Service Centre. For those handing their cars over personally, the entire process is extremely pleasant and fuss-free; they simply need to drive to the drop-off point located at Basement 1 at the pre-arranged appointment timing, where they’ll be greeted by a team of friendly staff, who will take over from there. (Do note that access to the building's basement level is via Chang Charn Road.) Those keen to stay on while servicing is being carried out can head up to the BMW Eurokars Experience Centre to - which marks the first local space to incorporate the all-new BMW Retail.Next Concept. Refreshments, multiple welcoming lounge spaces, and lifestyle merchandise await here (the latest lifestyle and accessories merchandise are available for purchase!), ensuring BMW-owners can relax in comfort while waiting to get back on the road with their machines again. Still, the action isn’t just centred at Kung Chong Road. BMW drivers in the West now also have a new location in their own area to turn to, thanks to the even more recent opening of a BMW Fast Lane Service Centre at 27A Tanjong Penjuru. For a limited time, Eurokars is even offering a complimentary pick-up and delivery service for all BMW appointments made at its brand-new BMW Eurokars Fast Lane Service Centre, which has been integrated conveniently into Eurokars’ mega-Aftersales Facility at 27A Tanjong Penjuru. Up till 31 May 2024, customers can look forward to having their BMWs picked up, and then returned, right from the convenience of their own doorsteps. We’re told the two-way service is priced at $130 - so there’s certainly a lot of value being offered. Just a click - or a phone call - away To top off the effortlessness of this process, securing a servicing slot with BMW Eurokars is a fuss-free experience that is clear-cut and speedy. Customers need only head over to a dedicated service booking website here, key in relevant details such as their car model and their preferred appointment dates and timings, and then wait for a service advisor to get in touch.
