The VW Tiguan review is something we were waiting to share with you and it is finally here. The second-generation Tiguan is the latest product from Volkswagen India and we got to spend a few hours driving this new SUV and here is our first impression of the same.
I rarely swoon over the way a car is or drive but the new Aventador S is genuinely that good a car. The old one was great but it did have its issues and now with the new one Lamborghini has really got the formula spot on. I have spent hours and hours on the Lamborghini configurator after I drove this car and I even came up with what could be my dream spec. But alas, for us mere mortals, the Aventador S is quite expensive with its Rs 5.01 Crore (ex-showroom, Delhi) price tag. Maybe Ill just get a 1:18 scale model than and hope to win the lottery someday. Because if you really do have the money to consider a Rs 5 Crore car, the new Aventador S has to be at the very top of your list!
The Isuzu MU-X is the latest SUV from the Japanese company and we were rather excited to get behind the steering wheel of this one. Here's how it felt.
The XC60 is Volvos global bestselling car model line, and also Europes number one seller in the premium compact SUV segment. Thats quite a reputation especially for a car that comes from a brand that was ready to be written off not so long ago, isnt it? And being a brands best selling model in the last year of its life cycle is even more creditable, given it was surrounded in showrooms by much newer and popular models like the S90, V90/V90 Cross Country, XC90, and facelifted V40 too. It also accounts for 35% of Volvos sales in India. This is significant since Volvo is now poised for growth in India. The Volvo XC60 will come to us by November 2017. It will be a direct import for starters and therefore we will get only one fully loaded Inscription variant. Volvo has announced that it will now also begin assembling cars in India an so eventually the XC60 will also move to being assembled here.
Maruti Suzuki offers a large variety of AMT powered cars in its portfolio. These include the entry level Alto K10 and Wagon R to the Celerio and the Ignis hatchbacks. In fact, about 40 per cent of all Celerio buyers and about 20 per cent of Ignis buyers opt for the AMT gearbox. The last generation Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire had the AMT gearbox but only with the diesel engine option. The new Maruti Suzuki Dzire gets the AMT gearbox with both the petrol and diesel engines. So lets tell you how it drives and if it is worth the average Rs 50 thousand premium over the manual versions.
We spend a day with the the new 2018 Audi RS5 Coupe to find out what this meaner and better looking member of the A5 family has to offer. This is the third bodystyle in the A5 range and is powered by a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6.
Kia is considering its Carnival for India, as one of the first few models soon after its brand debut in mid-2019.So while the first product will be a Hyundai Creta-rivalling SUV, Kia is working on a study to determine whether it should follow that with the Carnival.
The Audi Q3 and the Mercedes-Benz GLA are both due for a replacement very soon as they are both quite deep into their life cycle. The Q3 in particular is getting quite irrelevant in this segment as it just doesn't have the firepower to take on the rivals and honestly, with its crossover-esque design, the once benchmark Mercedes-Benz GLA falls short too. So it's a two horse race, the BMW or the Volvo. If you want a driver's car, you need to read no further - just buy the BMW X1. But as an overall package for the individual who likes driving, being driven and more importantly being pampered in a real level of luxury and not just luxury because of a badge, the Volvo XC40 is the new benchmark in this segment and our choice in this entry level compact SUV segment.
The X4 was conceived as a baby X6, and more like an afterthought when it first came in 2014 - almost as a variant to the then 2nd generation X3 - a car that was already at its midlife point then. And it sold over 200,000 units worldwide.
The year began with a bang for Audi with the second generation of the Q5 in the diesel and though back then we asked about the petrol variant, we got a reply saying 'soon'. And here it is finally, the petrol variant of the Q5.
