The soon-to-be-launched Toyota Glanza has recently been spotted again and this time around we get to see the car's cabin as well. Similar to the new Toyota Glanza's exterior, the cabin too is largely identical to the Maruti Suzuki Baleno's cabin, save for the Toyota badge on the steering wheel.

Hyundai Motor made its way in India two decades ago and has been one of the most aggressively expanding manufacturers with the second largest market share. While the company has been largely known for its conventional vehicles, the Korean automaker is now looking to diversify its offerings in the country with electric and connected vehicles in the future. That's exactly what Hyundai India's new corporate campaign - 'Once Upon A Time Hyundai was a Car Company' - outlines its focus on electric, clean and connected cars for the future. From a conventional car maker, Hyundai is now positioning itself as a Smart Mobility Solutions company with a multi-pronged approach.

Images of the Ford Aspire Blu variant has recently surfaced online, and this time around the new top-end trim was spotted at a dealership. Like the recently launched Figo facelift, the Aspire too is set to get a new top-of-the-line variant based on the Titanium trim, called the Titanium Blu.

The Skoda Superb sedan is due for an update later this month and the Czech car maker has given us the first official glimpse of the updated model with the new sketches. The newly released sketches point at subtle upgrades on the Toyota Camry rival while retaining the trademark butterfly grille, albeit with redesigned headlamps, bumper and possibly new alloy wheels too. The Skoda Superb facelift will break cover at the 2019 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship in the Slovakian capital, Bratislava. The current generation Superb has been on sale since 2015 and the update comes as a mid life-cycle to keep up with the competition.

The much-discussed petrol version of the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza will launch in Q4 of 2019-20. The new Vitara Brezza will be powered by a 1.2 litre petrol motor and will offer manual and AMT variants, and will be Bharat Stage 6 or BS6 compliant. It will also usher in the facelift for the car.

The first production-spec Hyundai Venue has rolled out of the assembly line at the Korean carmaker's Chennai plant and we are just weeks away from its launch. The Hyundai Venue will go on sale in India on May 21 which is when the prices will be announced. As we have mentioned earlier, the Venue being a subcompact SUV will have to take a tough fight. Its rivals have been a blockbuster for their respective brands. In fact, we just got to know that Mahindra has bagged over 26,000 bookings for the XUV300 and the number itself speaks of the success. Credit also should be given to the design of these models. All of them have a different demeanour and their designs have been well received in the market. So it was necessary for Hyundai to design the Venue in a way which would set it apart and give its own identity. Well, we have seen the car at its unveiling and here is our take on its looks.

BMW came up with a rather interesting strategy to reveal the 8 Series range. Two of the best looking models of the line-up- the two-door coupe and convertible were shown first and they just blew our mind. And finally the four-door Gran Coupe has followed. Though the teaser image reveals the side of the Gran Coupe which looks gracious and sumptuous, the front and rear are expected to be identical to its two-door counterpart. However, the wheelbase will be larger than the Coupe version, given that it will seat four. The sharp flowing character lines build upon the aesthetics and the rising shoulder line looks strong throughout its length. The low slung stance further keeps the sporty quotient intact.

The Hyundai Venue rollout ceremony has been officially carried out at the automaker's facility ahead of the launch. Prices for the Venue are expected to start around Rs. 8 lakh (ex-showroom).
