Today I pay a visit to a new showroom in town called INDERA MOTORS. This new company is now currently the authorised distributor of Jaguar & Range Rover in BRUNEI! Jaguar has been absent in Brunei scene for quite sometime and was last imported by Premier Motors whereas Range Rover last owner was QAF Motors(yes the same company that owned BMW, MINI & PORSCHE). When I walked into the showroom, this hot red Jaguar XFR stood out from the whole showroom floor. This is one of the top range XF with V8 Supercharged! The engine produced a raw 500hp capable of flying off the 0-100km/hr mark in less then 5 secs! Price is estimated to be BND198,000. The XF below is the normal version which is fitted with 3.0 V6 engine. This black cat below is the new Jaguar XJ, the largest Jaggggggg in the range. I was told it is fitted with 2.0L 4cyclinder engine! First thing came into my mind was WTF is a 2.0 doing in such a big car? Seriously come on, even though it is turbo-charged, the 4 bangers might have trouble hauling this big cat(in my opinion). My first encounter with a full LCD instrumental cluster! It was so cool to see the screen when you started the engine. This is the only Range Rover available in the showroom. I was told the rest of the range will be arriving later in the year. This silver EVOQUE is a diesel fitted engine. 109,000. Not bad if you ask me, the car itself is loaded with options. In case you didn't know, Jaguar owned Range Rover hence the sharing of the motorized pop-up gearknob. Again, in case you didn't know, both are owned by Indian conglomerate, TATA Motors!
While the 7 Series has a sporty edge, it's still a refined luxury cruiser. V12 models have come and gone, but today the quietest model in the range will be the 745e plug-in hybrid. Like plug-in versions of the Mercedes S-Class and Range Rover, the big battery allows you to travel for up to 30 miles on electric drive alone. Ideal when you're in town, but the combination of electric and petrol power makes the 7 Series equally refined at higher speeds. Never one to avoid controversy, a recent facelift has once again given the 7 Series challenging looks that won't appeal to everyone. Still, if you're sitting in the back, that will be the last thing on your mind as BMW's biggest saloon wafts you along in near-silence. While performance is the name of the game for Porsche's Panamera plug-in hybrid models - especially the flagship Turbo S - the addition of electric drive does give them the ability to move under battery power alone. Some would argue that this is a better combination than the pure electric drive of the Tesla Model S, giving you quiet running at low speeds, then the familiarly brutal acceleration and performance we've come to expect from Porsche. And while the E-Hybrid models carry extra weight over their petrol counterparts (remember Porsche has ditched diesel after a decade of dabbling), they still deliver the kind of engaging handling we've come to expect from the Stuttgart marque. Add-in the options of standard and long wheelbase Executive models, plus the option of hatchback or Sport Turismo shooting brake estate, and the Panamera is a quiet car that delivers plenty of versatility, too. It does come at a cost, but the Panamera is one of the most enjoyable executive machines to drive. What's the quietest car you've ever driven?
