Hyundai Venue Review

The Hyundai Venue subcompact SUV has already garnered over 20,000 bookings and the juggernaut looks set to roll on. The reason for the popularity says Hyundai is the segment itself - which already accounts for 47 per cent of all SUV sales, and is set to go past 50 per cent in a year or two.

  Exclusive: Hyundai Venue First Drive Review

  We recently had the chance to get behind the wheel of a pre-production model at a press event held in Korea at Hyundai Motor's Namyang R&D facility. The car is really compact, and yet - just as we have seen on its debut stage - even in real world conditions its proportions scream SUV.

  BMW 8 Series Convertible First Drive Review

  The latest from BMW is the M850i xDrive. We test the car in sunny Portugal with the top down to get you a comprehensive perspective on the new 8 family. India will be getting the 4-door 8 Series Gran Coupe but it will share its dynamics and performance, styling and equipment with this car; and its engines too.

  BMW X7 Review: Driven In The Heartland Of Its 'Home' Market

  BMW's new flagship SUV is the first-ever X7. The model finally gives BMW its much-needed standard three-row car, offering new levels of luxury, space and comfort that was so far only seen on BMW's sedan portfolio only until now. We test the new model in the United States - which without a doubt is the number one target market for the BMW X7. We have driven the xDrive40i - which is confirmed as one of two variants we can expect in India.

  Exclusive: Volkswagen T-Cross First Drive Review. VW's First Subcompact SUV For India

  The latest from Wolfsburg is the Volkswagen T-Cross. We test it in sunny Spain and find a competent, well-designed compact SUV. This will be the MQB A0 platform SUV that has been talked about aplenty in VW and Skoda's big plan for India. Expect it to hit the market only next year. We have driven the petrol and diesel models.
