Mobil 1 and Esso join Porsche Asia Pacific to power exhilarating experiences at the Porsche Experience Centre Singapore
Porsche and Mobil 1™ are extending their long-running collaboration to the upcoming Porsche Experience Centre (PEC) Singapore, which is due to open in April 2027. Esso joins as a new partner, with Esso Synergy fuels, supplied by Aster Mobility Solutions 1, to be featured at the centre.
The collaboration between the two brands dates back to 1996. Porsche’s racing website notes that 2026 marks the 30th anniversary of the partnership, which has covered Porsche vehicles on racetracks and roads. Mobil 1 has also been title sponsor of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup since 2007.
At PEC Singapore, Mobil 1 lubricants and Esso Synergy fuels will power the centre’s high-performance fleet. The aim is to help drivers experience the full performance potential of Porsche vehicles in a safe and controlled environment.
The centre is designed as a regional destination for Porsche customers and enthusiasts from across Southeast Asia and beyond. It is set to become the 11th Porsche Experience Centre worldwide. It will bring driving experiences, vehicle delivery, aftersales services, and Porsche Approved pre-owned sales together in a single lifestyle precinct.
The centrepiece is a purpose-built, two-kilometre driving circuit with 18 corners. The circuit has multiple configurations, allowing drivers to reach speeds of up to 200 km/h and experience cornering forces of 1.4 G.
Visitors will also be guided by certified Porsche instructors, who will cover vehicle control, emergency manoeuvres, and advanced road safety. Beyond the circuit, the centre will have racing simulators, rotating exhibitions, curated dining concepts, and social spaces for enthusiasts and families. It will also offer versatile event spaces and MICE facilities for corporate gatherings, private launches, and regional business summits.
“The Porsche Experience Centre Singapore will offer a new and exciting way for customers and enthusiasts from across Southeast Asia and beyond to experience the Porsche brand. As we prepare to welcome guests from 2027 onwards, we are pleased to further strengthen our longstanding relationship with Mobil 1 through this partnership. Our collaboration spans more than three decades, and is built on a shared commitment to performance, innovation, and excellence. We look forward to bringing this partnership to life with Mobil 1 and our new partner, Esso, at the Porsche Experience Centre Singapore, creating memorable experiences for the Porsche community.”
Marc Beil, Head of Porsche Experience, Porsche Asia Pacific
“Mobil 1 is proud to support the Porsche Experience Centre Singapore as it embarks on this exciting new chapter. Building on our longstanding collaboration with Porsche, we are bringing the iconic Mobil 1 and Esso brands together to power exceptional experiences for Porsche customers and enthusiasts from across the region.”
Meledy Takizawa, Marketing Manager, Strategic Global Alliances, ExxonMobil Asia Pacific
“Joining forces with the Porsche and Mobil 1 brands allows us to showcase the performance of Esso Synergy fuels to the Porsche community and drivers across Southeast Asia. We look forward to delivering this elevated experience when the Centre opens in 2027.”
Lin Chee Lip, General Manager, Aster Mobility Solutions 1
Aster Mobility Solutions 1 has owned Esso’s retail station business in Singapore since Jan. 1, 2026, according to ExxonMobil’s Singapore website. Porsche has since opened online bookings for the centre, with driving sessions available from April 2027.
For Porsche owners and fans across the region, PEC Singapore offers something that is hard to find on public roads: a closed circuit where a car can be driven closer to its limits, under the watch of trained instructors. With coaching on vehicle control, emergency manoeuvres, and advanced road safety, the programme is as much about learning as it is about speed. Many drivers may find that the skills they pick up on the circuit stay with them on everyday journeys.
The centre has also been planned with more than just drivers in mind. Dining concepts, racing simulators, rotating exhibitions, and social spaces are intended for families and friends, so a visit can suit different interests and does not need to centre on the track. For readers in Malaysia, the centre’s location in Singapore could make it a convenient weekend trip, with the driving, dining and exhibitions all in one place.
Owners may also appreciate the way the facility brings together vehicle delivery, aftersales services, and Porsche Approved pre-owned sales. Having these in one precinct means that key moments in the ownership journey can happen at the same address. Porsche has said that, depending on model and programme eligibility, new Porsche vehicles registered in Singapore through Porsche Singapore from 1 January 2027 will include complimentary driving experiences at the centre.
The partnership with Mobil 1 and Esso gives the centre a familiar footing. Mobil 1 has been with Porsche for three decades, and Esso Synergy fuels will now join it on site. For visitors, that means the cars they drive will be looked after by names many motorists already know.
DENZA Balakong by Wing Hin Elegant Officially Opens as 4S Centre in Selangor
DENZA officially opened DENZA Balakong by Wing Hin Elegant on 26 October 2026. The new centre is a dedicated 4S centre offering vehicle sales, aftersales servicing, and authorised body and paint services.
Located in Balakong, the facility strengthens DENZA’s coverage of the southern Klang Valley. It gives customers in the area a dedicated place to discover the brand’s range, including the DENZA D9, DENZA B8 and DENZA Z9GT. The opening marks another step in the continued expansion of the brand’s retail and aftersales network across Malaysia.
The centre spans approximately 3,000 square metres, with around 650 square metres dedicated to vehicle exhibition. The showroom has seven vehicle display bays across two floors, together with a dedicated 61-square-metre vehicle delivery room.
On the service side, the facility has seven bays for mechanical servicing and wheel alignment, alongside body and paint facilities. Together, they let customers handle a wider range of vehicle care needs in one location.
The space has also been designed to tell the DENZA brand story. The showroom features artwork incorporating local elements, as well as a dedicated DENZA milestone wall highlighting key moments in the brand’s journey. Visitors can use a customer lounge, enjoy complimentary coffee at the water bar, and make use of a VIP room during their visit.
BYD Flash Charging facilities will also be installed at the showroom in due time. The addition is intended to support the growing charging ecosystem and offer greater convenience as charging infrastructure continues to expand across Malaysia.
The sales team is another focus of the new centre. Amelia Choo and Seow Fock Keong were both recognised as DENZA Elite Members in the first and second quarters of this year, reflecting their sales performance and commitment to serving customers. According to the press release, their achievements highlight Wing Hin Elegant’s efforts to identify and develop sales talent, with a focus on product knowledge, customer engagement, and a strong sense of ownership.
“The opening of DENZA Balakong reflects the progress we have made in growing our presence in Malaysia. Balakong is an important addition to our network, allowing us to serve more customers in the southern Klang Valley while strengthening our sales and aftersales coverage. We will continue to expand our network thoughtfully, with the aim of making DENZA’s luxury new energy vehicle experience accessible to more customers across Malaysia.”
Jacob Ma, Managing Director of BYD Malaysia
“We are truly proud to bring DENZA to Balakong and be part of the brand’s growth in Malaysia. For us, this new 4S centre is more than a place to showcase vehicles. We want to make it a destination for the surrounding community, with more activities and engaging experiences that encourage people to visit, connect with the brand and discover DENZA at their own pace. Together with our sales and aftersales services, we hope to build lasting relationships with customers and give them more reasons to return long after they have collected their vehicles.”
Crystal Loh, Managing Director of Wing Hin Elegant
The opening also supports DENZA’s aim of building a more comprehensive retail, aftersales, and body and paint service network, and of bringing its NEV experience to more customers across the country.
DENZA Balakong by Wing Hin Elegant is located at Lot 9257C, Jalan Balakong Kembangan, 43300 Seri Kembangan, Selangor, and can be reached at +60 12-831 0332. The showroom is open from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
To mark the opening, customers who visit the new facility and make a booking for any DENZA model will receive an exclusive gift. The offer is valid until 31 December 2026, and terms apply.
For drivers in the southern Klang Valley, the most immediate benefit is convenience. Having sales, servicing, and body and paint work at one address means the relationship with a car can begin and continue in the same place, from the first showroom visit to the first service and beyond.
The centre also looks to be a comfortable place to spend time. With display bays across two floors, there is room to look at the D9, B8 and Z9GT unhurriedly. The dedicated delivery room gives collection day its own space, which many owners will appreciate as a moment worth marking. The lounge, the water bar with complimentary coffee and the VIP room add to the sense that a visit does not need to be rushed. As Crystal Loh noted, the idea is for people to discover DENZA “at their own pace.”
Practical touches matter too. Weekend opening hours make it easier for those with busy weekdays to drop by, and the seven servicing and alignment bays, together with the body and paint facilities, mean routine care and repairs can be arranged under one roof.
Cycle & Carriage Opens Seventh Leapmotor Outlet in Setia Alam
Cycle & Carriage has opened its latest Leapmotor showroom in Setia Alam, Selangor on 21 October 2026, continuing to build its presence in Malaysia’s electric vehicle (EV) market. The new outlet is the seventh Leapmotor location established by the company in the country.
The showroom serves customers across the growing Setia Alam and Shah Alam areas. Its location gives those who want to learn more about electric mobility a convenient place to start, whether they are curious about Leapmotor’s locally assembled vehicles or about how an EV might fit their ownership needs.
Leapmotor made its Malaysian debut in October 2024, with Cycle & Carriage as its retail partner alongside Stellantis Malaysia. Local assembly at Stellantis’ plant in Gurun, Kedah, has since begun with the C10 SUV, and the B10 is scheduled to follow by the end of 2026.
“Opening our seventh Leapmotor outlet is an encouraging milestone for us as we continue to grow our presence in Malaysia. Each new location allows us to bring the Leapmotor brand closer to more customers, while strengthening the support in sales and aftersales that we provide throughout their journey with us. Setia Alam is an important addition to our network, and we are pleased to offer customers in the area a dedicated space to experience Leapmotor for themselves.”
Adrian Short, CEO of Cycle & Carriage Malaysia
The showroom measures approximately 3,570 sq ft and displays up to four Leapmotor vehicles. This gives visitors the chance to take a closer look at the range and its technology. It also has a dedicated customer lounge with media TV and supporting amenities. The lounge is meant to give customers a comfortable setting in which to spend time with the brand and discuss their vehicle needs with the Leapmotor team.
The Setia Alam opening adds to the growing partnership between Cycle & Carriage and Stellantis Malaysia. Both parties are continuing to develop Leapmotor’s presence in the country and to widen the opportunities for Malaysians to experience electric mobility.
“The opening of the Cycle & Carriage Setia Alam outlet marks another important milestone in expanding Leapmotor’s presence in Malaysia and making our electric mobility solutions more accessible to customers. As EV adoption continues to gain momentum, building a strong and accessible retail network is key to giving more Malaysians the confidence to make the transition to electric mobility. This new Setia Alam showroom provides an opportunity for customers to experience Leapmotor’s technology first-hand, explore our product offering and discover how our vehicles can fit into their everyday lives. Together with Cycle & Carriage, we remain committed to bringing Leapmotor closer to more customers across Malaysia.”
Isaac Yeo, Managing Director of Stellantis ASEAN
With the Setia Alam showroom, Cycle & Carriage’s Leapmotor network now spans key locations in Malaysia. These include Setia Alam, Plaza 33 Petaling Jaya, Pavilion Bukit Jalil and Paradigm Mall JB, alongside the company’s Leapmotor 3S centres in Glenmarie, Johor Bahru and George Town.
The Leapmotor Cycle & Carriage Setia Alam Showroom is located at Unit No. 23-1, Setia Avenue, Jalan Setia Prima S U13/S, Setia Alam, 40170 Shah Alam, Selangor. It welcomes customers daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
For residents of Setia Alam, Shah Alam and the surrounding neighbourhoods, the most welcome change is simple: a dedicated Leapmotor space is now close to home. Anyone curious about EVs can drop in without planning a longer journey, and the showroom is open every day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., so a visit can fit around a working week or a relaxed weekend.
The showroom has also been set up for unhurried browsing. With up to four vehicles on display, visitors can compare the range at their own pace, and the customer lounge offers a comfortable place to sit down and talk through their needs with the Leapmotor team. For those considering an EV for the first time, that conversation can be a gentle way to learn what daily life with an electric car looks like. As both Adrian Short and Isaac Yeo noted, the aim is for customers to experience the technology first-hand and see how the vehicles fit into their everyday lives.
