The Nissan Terrano has been pretty much unchanged since its launch in 2013, with the exception of an AMT gearbox addition that was launched last year. But now, the Japanese automaker have updated the compact SUV for the 2017 model year making small improvements. We drive the new Terrano to find out if the updates keep the model fresh amidst competition.
The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT was the first car to be designed and built completely by the AMG division and it was launched internationally over two years ago. Around the world and in India, the AMG GT is the erstwhile replacement for the mighty SLS AMG and obviously, those are quite large shoes to fit into. The AMG GT though has been received well around the world and it even won the Car And Bike 2016 Sportscar Of The Year Award. And now, for the 2017 model year, AMG has decided to freshen it up a little bit with a slightly updated look, more power, more tech and most importantly, a convertible version.
Mercedes-Benz has just recently launched the new E-Class in India. We are the only market in the world that gets a right hand drive long wheelbase variant and just like with most luxury cars, you get two engine options. The E200 turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol or the E350d V6 twin-turbo diesel. Of course, both get rear wheel drive as the E-Class has always had and both will sell like hot cakes even though they are priced at quite a premium over everything else in the segment. The E200 petrol is aimed at chauffer driven audience who wants comfort and nothing else and the E350d is aimed at the buyer who will still occasionally want to drive but prefers the frugality of a diesel engine. But what if you insist you want a petrol powered car, you also want something fun to drive yourself and you still want all that luxury and comfort that the new E-Class offers. The E43 then is aimed right at you!

The Tata Tigor will be the third sub 4-meter, subcompact sedan from Tata Motors. Going up against the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire, Honda Amaze, Hyundai Xcent, Volkswagen Ameo and the Ford Figo Aspire, the Tata Tigor has the potential of being in its very own entry level subcompact sedan segment if priced considerably lower than its competition. Incidentally, Tata Motors originally invented the whole sub 4-meter, subcompact sedan segment in the first place. So, let us take you through the petrol and diesel engines, the features on the Tata Tigor and most importantly if it is worth your money!
The X-Blade definitely looks very different than any other motorcycle from the 150-160 cc segments. The crown jewel in the design, if we could call it so, will be the headlamp.
Named after a charming village on the Italian Riviera, Portofino conjures up visions of sun soaked beaches, little cafes, sprawling villas and topless beauties. No, not that kind, the car kind!

The BMW i8 has already established a benchmark for performance in the plug-in hybrid space. The new model year brings a drivetrain update with more power and increased driving range. It also brings the topless variant - the i8 Roadster - to the party.
Everything about the second generation Amaze is new, including the fact that it's based on a new platform. The subcompact sedan has grown in size, by 5mm, though it's still under 4 metres in length (3995mm) and it's wider too, by 15mm. The petrol powered Amaze is 17 kilos lighter than its predecessor; while the diesel version is 23 kg lighter.

The Maruti Suzuki Baleno is the king of the hill in the subcompact premium hatchback segment when it comes to sales figures. Even though the Baleno is sold only through the Nexa outlets, the hatch sells on average close to 15,000 units a month. That said, the benchmark in the segment has always been the Hyundai i20 with its sharp European looks and well made, well equipped package. And now, Hyundai has given the i20 a mid-life facelift with updated exterior bits, minor interior bits and some mechanical upgrades too. So does it help the Hyundai i20's continued benchmark domination of the segment? And can it now take the fight to the Maruti Suzuki Baleno in terms of sales figures too? Read on to find out..
