Upcoming Cars News

Japanese car maker Mitsubishi Motors has officially started accepting bookings for the 2018 Outlander SUV in the country. The company has updated its website with the information and is likely to launch the model sometime next month. The Mitsubishi Outlander is currently in its third generation and has been on sale since 2012, having received a facelift midway.

The much-anticipated Ford Freestyle crossover is all set to be launched in India tomorrow and here are all of its features explained in detail.

The Mercedes-Benz A-Class model is being produced exclusively at Beijing Benz Automotive Co., Ltd and market launch in China is scheduled for the second half of 2018.

Honda tasted success with the Amaze subcompact sedan when it launched the car back in 2013. With more than 90 per cent localisation content, the Amaze was a strong contender in the segment and in fact remained so even as fresh introductions were made. At the Auto Expo 2018, Japanese car maker finally showcased the new generation of the car and mind you it was a world premiere. The car has been primarily designed in Thailand, but with inputs from Honda Cars India's engineering team.

Suzuki Indonesia has released the first official video for the new Ertiga MPV, listing out the host of new exterior and interior features that make the MPV a much better package.

Toyota has started the dispatches of the Yaris demo cars to its dealerships in India. With the official booking for the car set to commence from tomorrow, on April 25, Toyota dealers will soon start the customer test drives.

While Audi has not outright confirmed whether this is the new Q8 SUV or not, we do hope that the company unveils it at the Beijing Motor Show.

For both Tata Motors and Mahindra, recent and future launches have showcased an ability to improve tremendously, in terms of quality, fit and finish but more so in terms of design. While in the mid 2000s, or even a few years ago, both these auto brands needed to shout (in terms of outrageous design) in order to be seen, both these auto brands now seem to be on a cusp of design maturity. In a recent casual banter on Twitter between Pratap Bose, Head Of Design of Tata Motors and Pawan Goenka, Managing Director of Mahindra & Mahindra, both seem to agree on the fact that Indian home grown designers and designs need to be given more importance, more chances to grow and certainly a bigger place in the automakers ecosystem. And with design studios in India making its mark, we think that process is well underway for both Tata Motors and Mahindra and we at carandbike.com think this is a wonderful thing indeed! Homegrown talent making homegrown designs for homegrown automakers is certainly something to be proud of. And with design studios in India making its mark, we think that process is well underway, not only for Tata and Mahindra, but even automakers like Renault.
