The Maruti Suzuki Baleno has been launched with three drivetrains: 1.2 VVT petrol manual & CVT and 1.3 DDiS diesel manual. I have now driven all three cars and will tell you all there is to know.
Not all car buying decisions are rational and though I have understood the emotion behind buying a supercar or a sports car (if you have deep pockets that is), I seem to lack connect with the person who says s/he would like to buy a Volkswagen Beetle.
Yes they may have sold 1.5 million of them. But the left-hand-drive-only GLK was still never enough for the management at Mercedes-Benz to call it a true hit. And that is the background with which I had approached the launch of the new GLC in June this year. Now I have driven the GLC 300 4 Matic in the United States.
We've heard it's blisteringly fast, absolute fun and comes with more power and costs Rs. 62 lakh. We drive the S5 Sportback to find out if it ticks all the boxes.
The Avanti is the first Indian-made Sports car and it's made by none of the mainstream car manufacturers. All looks good on paper, but does that translate to performance on the road?
Both the Bajaj Dominar and Mahindra Mojo are Indian-origin motorcycles; are flagship offerings for their respective manufacturers and are designed to be ridden for longer rides. So, which one does the job better? We took our single-cylinder contenders out for a ride to find out.
The 2017 KTM 390 Duke is one the most awaited bikes of the year and we took to Bajaj Auto's test track in Pune to check out all that's new and impressive about the Austrian motorcycle. So, does the 390 Duke still remain the desirable offering that it is? Read on to find out why.
Under the hood, the Baleno RS gets a 1 litre, 3-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine. Now since Maruti Suzuki has never done forced induction petrol engines in the past, the Baleno Boosterjet engine is completely new technology for it. The engine makes a substantial 101 bhp and 150 Nm. Despite being turbocharged, the max power and peak torque output is well spread out across the rev range and the engine almost feels like it is naturally aspirated, with very little turbo lag. Of course what everyone really wants to know is how the cars outright performance is! And on that front too, the Baleno RS does not disappoint.
Yamaha launched the FZ25, the company's first ever 250cc bike in India at a compelling sticker price of Rs. 1,19,500 (ex-Delhi). And so here we are, riding the motorcycle in the serene locales of Goa. Here are the first impressions of the all-new Yamaha FZ25 fresh from a beach shack in Goa.
The entry-level Duke may not be an all-new bike but gets enough changes to bring it in line with the updated Duke family. So, having ridden the 2017 KTM 250 Duke recently, it's now time to see what changes the 2017 KTM 200 Duke has to offer.
The 2017 KTM 250 Duke is the newest addition to the Duke family in India and is positioned between the 200 Duke and 390 Duke. With components shared from either models and a downsized 250 cc engine derived from the 390, is the 250 Duke the most balanced and logical bike from KTM India's range? We took to Bajaj Auto's test track to find that out.
With the likes of the Mercedes-Benz CLA to go up against, the Audi A3 desperately needed an update and a mid-life facelift. We have already driven the facelifted A3 a few months ago in Germany, and now it has arrived on our shores!
