    CHINA brands dominated the debuts at Singapore Motorshow 2025 on Thursday (Jan 9), whether in terms of first-time entrants or new models.

    Making their first appearance in Singapore were Deepal, Jaecoo, IM Motors, Neta and Yangwang. Four other brands that were introduced in 2024 also made their debuts at the show.

    “China’s cars have reached a very high level (of quality), and they are really focused on the export market now,” said Raymond Ng, managing director of Eurokars EV, a Eurokars Group subsidiary.
