Attendees to this latest Mycarforum hangout event with Omoda got up close to the E5 and Jaecoo J7 and got a few tips on driving an electric car in Malaysia. It may have been close to a month since we visited the Skoda Kodiaq, but our Mycarforum members clearly could not get enough of the opportunity to explore new cars. At least, that's what the turnout at the latest Mycarforum hangout suggested! This new hangout session saw more than 30 of our members heading down to the new Omoda showroom to pay a visit and get to know the all-electric E5. These members got to get up close with the car and explore its distinctive features including its 24.6-inch curved screen, Sony eight-speaker sound system, as well as its eye-catching exterior design which comes complete with a distinctive spoiler at the rear. But that was not all that was on offer. Beyond simply learning more about the E5, attendees at this event also got the opportunity to learn more about how to best take their electric cars into Malaysia, just as families across Singapore prepare for the December holidays. From advice on how to eke out the greatest energy economy from their electric cars to the suggested charging stops and charging providers to utilise, attendees got to know what the best practices were to ensure a smooth drive and trouble-free charging experience when in Malaysia. And there was more in store still. Those who attended this handout session not only got to test drive the E5 but were also amongst the first in Singapore to get to see and test drive the new Jaecoo J7 plug-in hybrid. And as an added bonus, there was also one additional, yet-to-be-launched all-electric crossover at the event for all present to get an extra early preview of!

Over 40 MyCarForum (MCF) members gathered at the INFINITI showroom on Leng Kee Road last Saturday, to get up close and personal with the new INFINITI All-New QX50. Particularly unique about the All-New QX50 is that it offers INFINITI’s VC-Turbo engine, the world’s first variable compression engine in a mass production car. To get MCF members to know more, Isaac Tan, Product Specialist of INFINITI, was on hand to chat a little bit more on how it all works, including sharing about its other advanced features such as its Active Torque Rod vibration cancelling engine mounts, and the All-New QX50’s safety assistance features. Idris Talib, from sgCarMart’s Editorial Team, also shared his experience driving the INFINITI QX50, and how it fares against other mid-sized SUVs in the market. Aside from checking out the QX50 and the rest of the range INFINITI has to offer, MCF members at the event also stood a chance to win attractive lucky draw prizes. MCF members also checked out the QX80, a large SUV with a lot of road presence. Isaac shared how the All-New QX50's Active Torque Rod works to cancel out vibrations from transmitting into the cabin, with a strategically placed active engine mount. Idris also shared his experience driving the All-New QX50, and how the car offers a spirited drive despite having a CVT transmission. That wasn't all the activities at the showroom. Participants also played a round of Bingo! One lucky MCF member walked away with the grand lucky draw prize, a weekend driveaway with the INFINITI All-New QX50, worth $1,000.
