Yup. They bringing in Sealion 7 Cat A variant soon. Those that just brought Sealion 6 n 7 Cat B must be damn tu lan. Typical Ah Tiong style of doing business. Ah Tiong think sinkies can change cars like changing underwear.

Sealion 7 Cat A?
So small engine?
No idea who will buy except those who want to own a car but want to save every penny? Will this car be like Merc GLA or A-class will have problem climbing the slopes of Genting Highlands?

Singaporeans have the mentality that "Expensive" means always "Better" than "Cheap" is it?
No wonder so many got chop "carrot heads" buying Hermes bags or LV bags or Chanel bags, etc!
Or buy Maserati (that always go into Garage for repairs)?

Maserati is going down plagued by poor sales and financial losses. Stellantis who owns the brand has written off their future projects and investments. They are now trying to pivot to EV, assuming the brand can survive till the transition. I can understand why people pay for perceived brand perceptions. But a car is more than just a woman's handbag. It is not very smart to pay for brand and overlook the hardware and tech.

Electric car smoke in the morning civil defense water gun and fire extinguisher cooling​

The new electric car smokes in the early morning, and the civil defense forces use water guns and fire extinguishers to cool down.
The incident occurred at 00:20 a.m. on Friday (July 11) at the location of the agent distributor of the Derman Garden Bend BYD brand.
It is understood that the smoking vehicle is a new BYD Seal series electric car, the car was in a static state at that time.
Vantage Automotive, the official dealer of BYD Automobile in Singapore, said in response to the "Lianhe Morning Post" inquiry that the dealer has been informed of the relevant accident.
All BYD cars in Singapore are equipped with BYD "blade batteries" (lithier-shaped lithium iron phosphate batteries), which is widely regarded as one of the safest electric vehicle battery technologies in the world.

“Safety is always our top priority. Although the preliminary investigation revealed that this may have been an isolated incident, we have dealt with the matter with the utmost seriousness and will publish the full report after the completion of the investigation.”
In response to the Associated Morning Post, the Singapore Civil Defence Force said that when the authorities arrived, they found white smoke at the bottom of an electric car.
Firefighters immediately dispatched water guns and fire extinguishers to cool the electric car and injected water directly into the battery compartment to cool down.
After the battery cooled, the contractor towed the electric car to the repair plant.
No one was injured in the crash and the Civil Defence Force is investigating the cause.

Many buy brand like xpeng or zeekr instead as it is branded as luxury Chinese EV. Is it really?

I jolly well know what I can and cannot afford... who cares as long as I drive happy...

Only idiots spend money to please/impress others..... dunno how hard it is to earn lor

LoL..I didnt know China cars owners here choose based on badge..pple buy whichever brand based on the price, design n functionality that they fancy/need.

Car in SG is different. The value is defined by COE. Even old Tesla model are not selling “cheaper”

Every brand's car, regardless of from China or Germany or France or Japan or Korea, every year they also introduce a new model (some with just minor touch-ups and/or facelifts) and the previous year's launched ones will be OUTDATED, don't understand what is the difference compared to the Chinese ones you singled out?
You got some "beef" with anything "Chinese"?
