Dubai Expo Entry Canopy : WonderCool

This is a beautiful installation among a host of amazing exhibits at one of the world’s best displays of the future of architecture and design.

Kaynemaile’s ‘WonderCool’ greets visitors at Dubai World Expo 2020

Canopy shields visitors from desert heat while providing calming sensory experience

NEW YORK SEPTEMBER, 2021. The first spectacle of architectural design to be encountered by the expected 25 million visitors to Dubai World Expo is the soaring kinetic shade canopy over the visitor arrivals hall.

The result of a collaborative design with Woods Bagot Architecture and Kaynemaile, the creators of architectural composite mesh systems, this 130,000 ft2 shade canopy acts as a passive heat management system for visitors waiting in 100-degree heat for security checks.

By day, the Kaynemaile canopy offers a cooling 70% shade protection for the visitors queuing to enter the World Expo, coupled with a calming sensory experience generated by the fluid movement of the 55 overhead screens running the length of the 60m long arrival hall.

This kinetic movement triggers not only air passage throughout the space, but also creates an interplay of shadow and light both on the ground and throughout the mesh layers overhead. Kaynemaile call this ‘the WonderCool Effect,’ bringing life and movement to static architectural spaces.

By night, an entirely different experience emerges as the canopy comes to life exhibiting dynamic light shows utilising the defusing and reflective qualities of the Kaynemaile mesh.

With 192 nations exhibiting in this once-in-five-year World Expo event, the leading architects, creatives, and constructors see this as “the Olympic Games of architecture and construction.”

“This is no ordinary shade canopy solution,” says Kaynemaile CEO and creative director Kayne Horsham. “As the ‘first impression’ installation at Dubai World Expo entrance, it needed to be visually dramatic and highly functional to reflect this international display of elite architectural creativity that is synonymous with this global exhibition.”

Kaynemaile was selected for this mammoth design, manufacturing, and installation task after 12 different traditional woven textiles and glass fibre materials failed in field testing for endurance in hot, dry, and windy conditions.

The New Zealand-based company has built and international reputation for its ‘can-do Kiwi’ approach to large-scale design challenges, coupled with an in-depth understanding of kinetic forces and how to maximize the unique flexural properties of its seamless material.

“The arc of our evolution over 15 years has been creating and patenting a manufacturing process through to delivering highly effective custom architectural solutions at scale throughout the world,” says Horsham.

Kaynemaile won ‘best new architectural product’ at the NYCxDesign Awards in 2019 and is installed on building exteriors as well as interiors in several U.S. cities including Los Angeles, Seattle, Detroit, Columbus, Atlanta, and New York. Internationally Kaynemaile has provided design solutions in Australia, China, Dubai, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, the UK, and Vietnam.

Several U.S. installations are on car park building exteriors. A unique element of Kaynemaile is its solar reduction benefits to both the building it protects and indirectly the surrounding urban area (aka the Urban Heat Island). By protecting the building mass from direct sunlight and not restricting the cooling effects of air movement, Kaynemaile significantly reduces the total energy costs required to cool a building in hot climates.

The three-dimensional mesh structure means a high proportion of the mesh surface area is always in shade, giving a cooling effect as the air passes through the cross-sectional open area. It significantly reduces both radiant and thermal conductive heat from entering the building envelope by up to 70%. Unlike steel mesh products which act as conductive energy stores, Kaynemaile mesh remains at a near ambient temperature, thus protecting the building and surrounding environment from heat conduction.

In October 2019, only 12 months before the Covid-delayed Expo was scheduled to open, Kaynemaile was approached by Mace Group UAE, the technical consultants for the client Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). After validating their mesh as the only suitable material for this project, Kaynemaile then worked with Woods Bagot Architecture to co-develop and engineer a solution. After a four-month design process, the canopy was custom produced over three months in New Zealand at Kaynemaile’s precision manufacturing facility in the capital city Wellington in four high performance exterior colours to reflect the palette used throughout the space.

Kaynemaile mesh is crafted from lightweight engineering grade polycarbonate using their own patented injection moulding process. It is 100% recyclable and aligns with the circular economy approach to design and manufacturing. The inspiration for the innovative architectural product came from Kayne Horsham’s role as Weta Workshop Art Director for Creatures, Armor, and Weapons on the Academy Award-winning Lord of the Rings trilogy. Horsham was responsible for designing and prototyping all the armor systems used in making the films and became captivated by kinetic and visual effects of this ancient material.

For Dubai World Expo Kaynemaile have also conceptualised, designed, and created the living build façade of the New Zealand Pavilion located in the Sustainability District.

Unlike most of the 192 World Expo country pavilions which are destined for removal or redevelopment after the event closes, the DWTC arrival hall is considered a ‘legacy installation’ which means it will continue to create moments of wonder for many other events held at this massive convention centre and offer a cool space for those who pause and admire what is being called Kaynemaile’s ‘WonderCool’ canopy.

How the Tiny Kingdom of Bhutan Out-Vaccinated Most of the World THIMPHU, Bhutan — The Lunana area of Bhutan is remote even by the standards of an isolated Himalayan kingdom: It covers an area about twice the size of New York City, borders far western China, includes glacial lakes and some of the world’s highest peaks, and is inaccessible by car. Still, most people living there have already received a coronavirus vaccine. Vials of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine arrived last month by helicopter and were distributed by health workers, who walked from village to village through snow and ice. Vaccinations proceeded in the area’s 13 settlements even after yaks damaged some of the field tents that volunteers had set up for patients. “I got vaccinated first to prove to my fellow villagers that the vaccine does not cause death and is safe to take,” Pema, a village leader in Lunana who is in his 50s and goes by one name, said by telephone. “After that, everyone here took the jab.” Lunana’s campaign is part of a quiet vaccine success story in one of Asia’s poorest countries. As of Saturday, Bhutan, a Buddhist kingdom that has emphasized its citizens’ well-being over national prosperity, had administered a first vaccine dose to more than 478,000 people, over 60 percent of its population. The Health Ministry said this month that more than 93 percent of eligible adults had received their first shots. The vast majority of Bhutan’s first doses were administered at about 1,200 vaccination centers over a weeklong period in late March and early April. As of Saturday, the country’s vaccination rate of 63 doses per 100 people was the sixth highest in the world, according to a New York Times database. That rate was ahead of those of the United Kingdom and the United States, more than seven times that of neighboring India and nearly six times the global average. Bhutan is also ahead of several other geographically isolated countries with small populations, including Iceland and the Maldives. Dasho Dechen Wangmo, Bhutan’s health minister, attributed its success to “leadership and guidance” from the country’s king, public solidarity, a general absence of vaccine hesitancy, and a primary health care system that “enabled us to take the services even to the most remote parts of the country.” “Being a small country with a population of just over 750,000, a two-week vaccination campaign was doable,” Ms. Dechen Wangmo said in an email. “Minor logistic issues were faced during the vaccination but were all manageable.” All of the doses used so far were donated by the government of India, where the drug is known as Covishield and manufactured by the Serum Institute of India, the world’s largest vaccine producer. Bhutan’s government has said it plans to administer second doses about eight to 12 weeks after the first round, in line with guidelines for the AstraZeneca vaccine. Will Parks, the representative in Bhutan for UNICEF, the United Nations agency for children, said the first round was a “success story, not only in terms of the coverage but also in the way the vaccination drive was executed collectively from the planning to the implementation.” “It involved participation from the highest authority to local community,” he said. The campaign has relied in part on a corps of volunteers, known as the Guardians of the Peace, who operate under the authority of Bhutan’s king, Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck. Updated April 17, 2021, 6:20 p.m. ET In Lunana, eight volunteers pitched field tents and helped carry oxygen tanks from village to village, said Karma Tashi, a member of the government’s four-person vaccination team there. The tanks were a precaution in case any villagers had adverse reactions to the shots. To save time, Mr. Tashi said, the team administered vaccines by day and walked between villages by night — often for 10 to 14 hours at a time. The yak damage to the tents wasn’t the only hiccup. Some villagers did not initially show up to be vaccinated because they were busy harvesting barley, or because they worried about possible side effects. “But after we told them about the benefits, they agreed,” Mr. Tashi said. As of April 12, 464 of Lunana’s 800 or so residents had gotten a first dose, according to government data. The population figure includes minors who are not eligible for vaccines. Health care in Bhutan, a landlocked country that is slightly larger than Maryland and borders Tibet, is free. Between 1960 and 2014, life expectancy there more than doubled, to 69.5 years, according to the World Health Organization. Immunization levels in recent years have been above 95 percent. But Bhutan’s health system is “hardly self-sustainable,” and patients who need expensive or sophisticated treatments are often sent to India or Thailand at the government’s expense, said Dr. Yot Teerawattananon, a Thai health economist at the National University of Singapore. A government committee in Bhutan meets once a week to make decisions about which patients to send overseas for treatment, Dr. Yot said. He said the committee — which focuses on brain and heart surgery, kidney transplants and cancer treatment — was known informally as the “death panel.” What You Need to Know About the Johnson & Johnson Vaccine Pause in the U.S. On April 13, 2021, U.S. health agencies called for an immediate pause in the use of Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose Covid-19 vaccine after six recipients in the United States developed a rare disorder involving blood clots within one to three weeks of vaccination. All 50 states, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico temporarily halted or recommended providers pause the use of the vaccine. The U.S. military, federally run vaccination sites and a host of private companies, including CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Walmart and Publix, also paused the injections. Fewer than one in a million Johnson & Johnson vaccinations are now under investigation. If there is indeed a risk of blood clots from the vaccine — which has yet to be determined — that risk is extremely low. The risk of getting Covid-19 in the United States is far higher. The pause could complicate the nation’s vaccination efforts at a time when many states are confronting a surge in new cases and seeking to address vaccine hesitancy. Johnson & Johnson has also decided to delay the rollout of its vaccine in Europe amid concerns over rare blood clots, dealing another blow to Europe’s inoculation push. South Africa, devastated by a more contagious virus variant that emerged there, suspended use of the vaccine as well. Australia announced it would not purchase any doses. “I don’t think they could cope with the surge of severe Covid cases if that happened, so it is important for them to prioritize Covid vaccination,” he said, referring to Bhutan’s health authorities. Bhutan has reported fewer than 1,000 coronavirus infections and only one death. Its borders, tight by global standards even before the pandemic, have been closed for a year with few exceptions, and anyone who enters the country must quarantine for 21 days. That includes the prime minister, Lotay Tshering, who received his first vaccine dose last month while in quarantine after a visit to Bangladesh. He has been supporting the vaccination effort in recent weeks on his official Facebook page. “My days are dotted with virtual meetings on numerous areas that need attention, as I closely follow the vaccination campaign on the ground,” Dr. Tshering, a surgeon, wrote in early April. “So far, with your prayers and blessings, everything is going well.” The economy in Lunana depends on animal husbandry and harvests of a so-called caterpillar fungus that is prized as an aphrodisiac in China. People speak Dzongkha, the national language, and a local dialect. Last year, the drama “Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom” became the second film ever selected to represent Bhutan at the Academy Awards. It was filmed using solar batteries, and its cast included local villagers. Lunana’s headman, Kaka, who goes by one name, said the most important part of the vaccination campaign was not on the ground, but in the sky. “If there hadn’t been a chopper,” he said, “getting the vaccines would have been an issue, since there’s no access road.” Chencho Dema reported from Thimphu, Bhutan, and Mike Ives from Hong Kong.

Researchers achieve major breakthrough in flexible electronics

Semiconductors, which are the very basic components of electronic devices, have improved our lives in many ways. They can be found in lighting, displays, solar modules and microprocessors that are installed in almost all modern day devices, from mobile phones, washing machines, and cars, to the emerging Internet of Things. To innovate devices with better functionality and energy efficiency, researchers are constantly looking for better ways to make them, in particular from earth-abundant materials using eco-friendly processes. Plastic or organic electronics, which is made from organic carbon-based semiconductors, is one such group of technologies that can potentially provide flexible, light-weight, large-area and additively-manufactured devices, which are attractive for some types of applications.

To make high-performance devices however, good ohmic contacts with low electrical resistances are required to allow the maximum current to flow both ways between the electrode and the semiconductor layers. Recently, a team of scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has successfully developed conducting polymer films that can provide unprecedented ohmic contacts to give superior performance in plastic electronics, including organic light-emitting diodes, solar cells and transistors. The research findings have been recently published in the journal Nature.

Nanotextures Make Anti-Fogging, Self-Cleaning and G smart grid sensor lare-Free Glass

www.inhandnetworks.com

Through a process involving thin Industrial 3G Router layers of material deposited on a surface and then selectively etched away, the MIT team produced a surface covered with tiny cones, each five times taller than their width. This pattern prevents reflections, while at the same time repelling water from the surface. Image: Hyungryul Choi and Kyoo-Chul Park

Are you tried of foggy windows on rainy days and glare coming off your TV screen? Scientists at MIT have developed a new process of creating glass that uses surface nanotextures that are self-cleaning and resists fogging and glare. The industrial iot researchers believe this “multifunctional” glass could improve upon a variety of products from photovoltaic panels to windows and other optical devices.

One of the most instantly recognizable features of glass is the way it reflects light. But a new way of creating surface textures on glass, developed by researchers at MIT, virtually eliminates reflections, producing glass that is almost unrecognizable because of its absence of glare — and whose surface causes water droplets to bounce right off, like tiny rubber balls.

The new “multifunctional” glass, based on surface nanotextures that produce an array of conical features, is self-cleaning and resists fogging and glare, the researchers say. Ultimately, they hope it can be made using an inexpensive manufacturing process that could be applied to optical devices, the screens of smartphones and televisions, solar panels, car windshields and even windows in buildings.

The technology is described in a paper published in the journal ACS Nano, co-authored by mechanical engineering graduate students Kyoo-Chul Park and Hyungryul Choi, former postdoc Chih-Hao Chang SM ’04, PhD ’08 (now at North Carolina State University), chemical engineering professor Robert Cohen, and mechanical engineering professors Gareth McKinley and George Barbastathis.

Photovoltaic panels, Park explains, can lose as much as 40 percent of their efficiency within six months as dust and dirt accumulate on their surfaces. But a solar panel protected by the new self-cleaning glass, he says, would have much less of a problem. In addition, the panel would be more efficient because more light would be transmitted through its surface, instead of being reflected away — especially when the sun’s rays are inclined at a sharp angle to the panel. At such times, such as early mornings and late afternoons, conventional glass might reflect away more than 50 percent of the light, whereas an anti-reflection surface would reduce the reflection to a negligible level.

While some earlier work has treated solar panels with hydrophobic coatings, the new multifunctional surfaces created by the MIT team are even more effective at repelling water, keeping the panels clean longer, the researchers say. In addition, existing hydrophobic coatings do not prevent reflective losses, giving the new system yet another advantage.

A piece of glass that has one half with a normal flat surface, and the other with the new patterned surface, demonstrates the anti-fogging properties that the patterning provides. Image: Kyoo-Chul Park and Hyungryul Choi

Other applications could include optical devices such as microscopes and cameras to be used in humid environments, where both the antireflective and anti-fogging capabilities could be useful. In touch-screen devices, the glass would not only eliminate reflections, but would also resist contamination by sweat.

Ultimately, if the cost of such glass can be lowered sufficiently, even car windows could benefit, Choi says, cleaning themselves of dirt and grit on the exterior surface of the windows, eliminating glare and reflections that can impair visibility, and preventing fogging on the interior surface.

The surface pattern — consisting of an array of nanoscale cones that are five times as tall as their base width of 200 nanometers — is based on a new fabrication approach the MIT team developed using coating and etching techniques adapted from the semiconductor industry. Fabrication begins by coating a glass surface with several thin layers, including a photoresist layer, which is then illuminated with a grid pattern and etched away; successive etchings produce the conical shapes. The team has already applied fo wireless router r a patent on the process.

Since it is the shape of the nanotextured surface — rather than any particular method of achieving that shape — that provides the unique characteristics, Park and Choi say that in the future glass or transparent polymer films might be manufactured with such surface features simply by passing them through a pair of textured rollers while still partially molten; such a process would add minimally to the cost of manufacture.

The researchers say they drew their inspiration from nature, where textured surfaces ranging from lotus leaves to desert-beetle carapaces and moth eyes have developed in ways that often fulfill multiple purposes at once. Although the arrays of pointed nanocones on the surface appear fragile when viewed microscopically, the researchers say their calculations show they should be resistant to a wide range of forces, ranging from impact by raindrops in a strong downpour or wind-driven pollen and grit to direct poking with a finger. Further testing will be needed to demonstrate how well the nanotextured surfaces hold up over time in practical applications.

Andrew Parker, a senior visiting research fellow at Oxford University’s Green Templeton College in the U.K. who was not involved in this work, says, “Multifunctional surfaces in animals and plants are common. For the first time, as far as I am aware, this paper learns a lesson in manufacturing efficiency from nature by making an optimized antireflective and anti-fogging device. … This is the way that nature works, and may well be the future of a greener engineering where two structures, and two manufacturing processes, are replaced by one.”

The research was funded by the Army Research Office through MIT’s Institute for Soldier Nanotechnology; the Air Force Office of Scientific Research; Singapore’s National Research Foundation through the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) Centre, and the Xerox Foundation. Park and Choi are recipients of fellowships from Samsung and the Kwanjeong Educational Foundation/STX Scholarship Foundation, respectively.

Researchers achieve major breakthrough in flexible electronics

SINGAPORE: Semiconductors, which are the very basic components of electronic devices, have improved our lives in many ways. They can be found in lighting, displays, solar modules and microprocessors that are installed in almost all modern-day devices, from mobile phones, washing machines, and cars, to the emerging Internet of Things. To innovate devices with better functionality and energy efficiency, researchers are constantly looking for better ways to make them, in particular from earth-abundant materials using eco-friendly processes.

Plastic or organic electronics, which is made from organic carbon-based semiconductors, is one such group of technologies that can potentially provide flexible, light-weight, large-area and additively-manufactured devices, which are attractive for some types of applications.

To make high-performance devices, however, good ohmic contacts with low electrical resistances are required to allow the maximum current to flow both ways between the electrode and the semiconductor layers.

Recently, a team of scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has successfully developed conducting polymer films that can provide unprecedented ohmic contacts to give superior performance in plastic electronics, including organic light-emitting diodes, solar cells and transistors.

The research findings are published in the journal Nature.

The key these researchers discovered is to be able to design polymer films with the desired extreme work functions needed to generally make ohmic contacts. The work function is the minimum amount of energy needed to liberate an electron from the film surface into a vacuum.

The researchers showed that work functions as high as 5.8 electron-volts and as low as 3.0 electron-volts can now be attained for films that can be processed from solutions at low cost.

This breakthrough is the result of a collaboration with the materials chemistry team led by associate professor Chua Lay-Lay from the department of chemistry at the NUS Faculty of Science, the physics team led by associate professor Peter Ho from the department of physics from the same faculty, and scientists from Cambridge Display Technology Ltd, a subsidiary of Sumitomo Chemical Co Ltd.

“To design such materials, we developed the concept of doped conducting polymers with bonded ionic groups, in which the doped mobile charges – electrons and holes – cannot dissipate away because their counter-balancing ions are chemically bonded,” explained Dr Png Rui-Qi, a senior research fellow from the department of physics at the NUS Faculty of Science, who led the device research team.

“As a result, these conducting polymers can remain stable despite their extreme work functions and provide the desired ohmic contacts. The lack of a general approach to making ohmic contacts has been a key bottleneck in flexible electronics,” added Dr Png Rui-Qi.

“Our work overcomes this challenge to open a path to better performance in a wide range of organic semiconductor devices. We are particularly thrilled about this Singapore-led innovation,” she added.

“The close partnership of the chemists and physicists has made this innovation possible. We are now working with our industrial partner to further develop this technology,” concluded Chua.

Four cars for under $110K from the Singapore Motorshow

Bargain hunters should check these out at the ongoing Singapore Motorshow at Suntec

SINGAPORE — Yes, cars are expensive in Singapore, but some offer more motoring for your money than others.

MITSUBISHI SPACE STAR — $81,999 with COE

Think of the Space Star as the prettier, more playful sister to the Attrage, the four-door car beloved by Uber drivers everywhere.

That tells you what to expect: a tiny turning radius (4.6m) to make city driving a cinch, and a damn frugal 1.2-litre engine that sips just 4.3L/100km on average.

It costs $2,000 more than the Attrage, but the Space Star is generously equipped. Keyless entry and engine starting is standard, along with automatic headlights and rain-sensing wipers. Unusually for the class, it has six airbags. The leather-wrapped steering wheel has audio controls, and the sound system is factory fitted. The generous equipment list is courtesy of the car’s European spec; the signal stalk is on the left hand side, like for cars on the Continent. One thing’s for sure, if small hatchback cars are this price level are supposed to come with no equipment, someone forgot to tell Mitsubishi.

Nissan Pulsar 1.2L DIG-T — from $106,300 with COE

An old name returns (the badge stretches way back to 1978), but if you’re unfamiliar with the Pulsar, think of it as Nissan’s answer to the VW Golf (with a slightly bigger boot). That means five doors and five seats, though instead of crisp Germanic lines the Pulsar has nicely sculpted body contours, along with signature Nissan styling cues like boomerang-shaped lighting elements. There’s a basic “Lite” model and a “Premium” version that adds $3,000 to the price. The extra money buys you a bigger touchscreen interface (6.9” instead of 5.8”), full leather upholstery and GPS navigation.

Nissan importer Tan Chong has additional discounts for financing, trade-in and insurance that total up to $4,500, so you could conceivably book a Pulsar for $101,800 with COE. During the Motorshow itself the company is throwing in $200 of petrol vouchers, free solar film and a free dashboard camera.

The Pulsar actually shares its major mechanical underpinnings with the Renault Mégane (the French connection is there because Nissan and Renault have a corporate alliance), but what’s under the bonnet should be familiar to Nissan fans: it’s the same 1.2-litre DIG-T engine that powers the Qashqai, which means it has a fuel-saving direct injection cylinder head and a turbocharger. It sends 115 horsepower and 165Nm of peak torque to the front wheels via Nissan’s Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). The CVT probably blunts the performance somewhat (0 to 100km/h takes 12.7 seconds) but it does a lot for fuel economy: the Pulsar averages just 5.1L/100km. It all adds up to an interesting car that combines some French DNA with a frugal Japanese drivetrain, and a name that carries some history.

Kia Niro — $109,999 with COE

We’ve written about Kia’s new hybrid car since it was previewed before the Motorshow (making it the first new car to be launched in Singapore in 2017), and it’s also on our list of eco cars to watch out for at Suntec. But even if you disregard the fuel-sipping hybrid drivetrain, the Kia is a compelling car that’s worth a hard look if you’re at the Motorshow. For the price it’s fairly lavishly equipped, with a suite of safety systems like blind spot monitors and the ability to warn you about traffic if you’re reversing out of a parking spot. There are seven airbags and the majority of the body is made of high strength steel, which provides rigidity without excess weight.

The interior’s a bit plain, but the Niro is very roomy in the back and it has plenty of cargo room: 427 litres when the rear seats are down, and the ability to swallow a mountain bike whole (without removing the wheels) when you fold them. Kia execs seem certain that the Niro is one of the best hybrids on the market, but for the price, it’s simply one of the best buys of any kind.

Renault Mégane Sedan 1.5T dCi — from $109,999 with COE

Two Mégane body styles are being unveiled at the Motorshow, but it’s the Sedan that is bound to make the bigger splash here. For one thing, Singapore is still largely a four-door market. For another, it’s the Sedan version of the car that seems to work better with the Mégane’s wide new face. We tested it with the 1.5-litre turbodiesel that powers a number of models in the Nissan-Renault Alliance (including the Infiniti Q30) and even a few cars from Mercedes, but it’s in here that the engine has somehow found a bit of refinement. From inside the cabin, at least, it no longer clatters like someone at the factory forgot to tighten a few bolts.

Add $5,000 for the Privilege spec, which includes extras like a blind spot monitoring system, additional chrome trim, a larger touchscreen entertainment system (8.7” instead 7”), different driving modes and an auto-dimming rear view mirror. Inside, the new Megane actually feels quite posh in places, with soft-touch plastics up front (the back of the car is a different matter). Low, low fuel economy will be something the Mégane Sedan will count on to win buyers, with a fuel consumption figure of 3.7L/100km. You’re unlikely to get close to that in real world conditions, but diesel is cheaper than petrol anyway, so the Mégane could still be one of the cheapest cars to feed.

This stylish Suzuki would have made our list, too, except for one thing...

Here’s a master list of all the major new cars you should look out for at the Singapore Motorshow 2017
