When you compare prices outright, the Kwid AMT ranges from Rs 3.78-4.49 lakh(ex-showroom) and is available in four variants. The Tiago on the other hand is priced between Rs 4.79-5.39 lakh (ex-showroom) and is available only in two variants. The Tiago gets a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder Revotron unit that makes 84 bhp and 114 Nm of torque - which when compared to the Kwid is 17 more horsepower and 23 more newton metres of torque. And the difference is almost immediately obvious. Under the bonnet, the Kwid gets a buzzy little 1-litre three cylinder motor that makes 67 bhp and 91 Nm. The gearbox is a 5-speed AMT unit that has been mated to a rather unconventional shifter knob instead of a normal lever between the front seats. While the Tiago offers a much better put together interior in terms of plastic quality, fit and finish and overall appeal, the Kwid offers features galore. The Tiago does not get a touchscreen infotainment system and navigation like the Kwid does and in 2017, features like those do actually make the difference for the average buyer. In terms of space though, both are about evenly matched.
The new 2017 Hyundai Verna arrives well in time to catch the festive season across India, and in typical Hyundai fashion its looks to be another blockbuster. But I have good news for you that is not simply because the new Verna is priced super aggressively its more so because it is, in fact, a great little package of excellent features and good overall performance.

The Mercedes-AMG GT R might not be a super limited sports car/supercar like the SLS AMG Black Series that it spiritually succeeds but that is actually a good thing. Priced at Rs 2.23 Crore (ex-showroom) without personalisation, the AMG GT R can actually be enjoyed by a lot more people than just a select few. The AMG GT R is actually great value for money when you compare it to some of the other cars in the range that just seem a little too common. That said, with the average age of an AMG customer in India pegged at 37, we expect the AMG GT R customer to be a mix of young and young at heart individuals who just want a roaring loud (and loud to look at) V8 powered car! So, would I buy one? Well, if I had the money, I most certainly would but maybe in a different and more sinister colour!
It was in August last year, that we first got a chance to see and drive the GLC Coupe SUV and that one caught our attention. In fact, we were told by the folks at Mercedes-Benz that the GLC Coupe will come to India with one more variant. Sadly though we only get the AMG and even though I began this sentence with 'sadly', I am not the one to complain.
The Velar has been conceived as a new Range Rover model that will fill the chasm between the smallest Evoque and the larger Sport, to make it a four member family. When I first saw the car this April in New York, I argued whether that gap really needed to be filled to be honest.
The hugely popular nameplate that helped Hyundai break into the Indian car market, is now back. The Hyundai Santro is no longer quite the tallboy it used to be.

The new Mercedes-Benz C-Class is only available in India with a diesel engine - the new OM654, 2-litre, 4-cylinder, turbocharged unit that replaces the older 2.2-litre unit. Apart from being BS6 ready, the new engine is also mated to a new 9-speed dual clutch '9G-Tronic' gearbox.
The 2018 Ford Aspire facelift is a smarter, well-engineered, feature rich car and it passes the biggest test of them all - of being a great city car! Read our review to know why.
The new generation BMW X5 is a bit bigger now, with 36 mm added in length, 66mm in width and 19mm in height terms. The wheelbase has increased by 42 mm.
The Volkswagen T-Roc is the right size and shape to attract the attention of the Indian buyer. While the T-Roc's exterior dimensions fall just short of the Creta's, it does have a longer wheelbase
We've already ridden the new Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 in California. The Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 is a caf racer based on the same 650 Twin platform as the Interceptor 650, but it has a slightly sportier personality.
We spend a day riding the new Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 in California. Based on an all-new 650 cc parallel-twin engine, it's unlike any other Royal Enfield that we have ever experienced.
The car's design is the first thing that grabs you. The Kona represents what is now an increasingly contagious global trend to have small lights and big grilles.
The Honda CR-V is all set to make a comeback into India and that, was one of the company's big announcements at the 2018 Auto Expo. We got to drive the car ahead of its official launch, and here's what we think about it.
