As we approach the final stretch of the year and gear up for a new era in motoring, it’s clear that the spotlight isn’t solely on electrification anymore.

The latest wave of releases spans a diverse mix of shapes, sizes, powertrains, and body styles—proof that the world’s leading carmakers are pulling out all the stops to capture the attention of buyers (even as many are swept up in year-end festivities). And what a lineup it is—there’s plenty to get excited about.

The all-new Bentley Bentayga EWB Mulliner now stands as the flagship trim in the iconic luxury marque’s bespoke Mulliner lineup. As the name suggests, “EWB” stands for Extended Wheelbase—with an added 19cm of length, all dedicated to enhancing rear-seat comfort where it truly counts.

Inside, the cabin is adorned with exclusive tri-tone leather upholstery, unique to the Mulliner edition. Buyers can customise the interior with a near-limitless array of main, secondary, and accent colour combinations, showcasing Bentley’s commitment to personalisation and craftsmanship.

Under the hood, the Bentayga EWB Mulliner shares the same 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 found in the Bentayga S, delivering 550PS (542hp or 404kW) and 770Nm of torque. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, this powertrain propels the SUV from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds, with a top speed of 290 km/h.

Performance is complemented by a suite of advanced driving technologies, including Bentley Dynamic Ride—an active anti-roll system powered by a 48-volt electrical architecture—rear-wheel steering for exceptional low-speed agility, and three-chamber air suspension for supreme ride comfort. And in true Mulliner fashion, the SUV rides on exclusive 22-inch wheels with self-leveling centre caps that stay perfectly upright, no matter the motion.

Not fully convinced by the all-electric BMW i7, especially given the current uncertainties around Malaysia’s public charging infrastructure? Then consider the equally new BMW 750e xDrive M Sport as a compelling alternative. This luxury sedan combines a 3.0-litre turbocharged inline-six petrol engine with an integrated electric motor—delivering 197hp and 280Nm—seamlessly built into the eight-speed Steptronic transmission for smooth and responsive hybrid performance.

The new 750e xDrive M Sport comes equipped with the M Sport styling package, featuring aggressive front and rear bumpers, 20-inch M aerodynamic Style 907 alloy wheels, M high-gloss Shadowline trim, high-gloss black M side sills, and a distinctive Fineline Black wood interior trim with metallic highlights for a refined yet sporty touch.

Adding to the luxury experience, the M Sport variant also boasts the impressive BMW Theatre Screen—a massive 31.3-inch widescreen display that folds down from the ceiling to entertain rear passengers. Complementing this is the ultra-comfortable Executive Lounge Seating, offering a true first-class experience on the move.

It wasn’t all that long ago that Ducati shook up the motorcycle world with the bold and genre-defying Diavel. Even today, many still debate where it fits—is it a cruiser, a muscle bike, a sporty naked, or even a touring machine? Yet, over the past 12 years, the Diavel has carved out its own unique identity and purpose.

Now, with the latest Diavel V4, Ducati promises a blend of smooth low-end power and relentless torque across the rev range—thanks to the formidable 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine. Featuring ride-by-wire technology and 46mm throttle bodies, it delivers 168hp at 10,750rpm, launching the Diavel from 0 to 100 km/h in under three seconds.

Following the debut of the EQS sedan in Malaysia last year, Mercedes-Benz now introduces its all-electric SUV counterpart, built on the same platform but standing 20cm taller—a boost that enhances ground clearance for light off-road conditions.

Performance is impressive, thanks to a dual-motor setup producing 544PS (536hp or 400kW) and 858Nm of torque, enabling a 0–100 km/h sprint in just 4.6 seconds and a top speed of 210 km/h. Power comes from a floor-mounted lithium-ion battery with 12 cell modules and a total energy capacity of 107.8kWh.

Design-wise, the SUV retains the familiar EQ family styling, but with added aggression. A bold front bumper with black accents highlights the enlarged side and lower intakes, while 22-inch AMG multi-spoke light-alloy wheels, finished in high-gloss black with a high-sheen surface, complete the look.

Inside, front passengers enjoy electrically adjustable seats with ambient lighting and four-way lumbar support. The second row features three individual seats with electric backrest angle adjustment and 130mm of sliding range. For added versatility, an optional third row transforms the EQS SUV into a seven-seater, with foldable head restraints, retractable seats, and a convenient easy-entry function for access via the second row.
