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!

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 A4 diesel is part of the 10 products that Audi is bringing in, to India, this year and we've finally managed to get our hands on it. It's finally out of the woods, so to say, and it's taken a while to come to India. It's been close to 7 months, since the new-gen A4 hit our shores; but, back then, it only came with a petrol engine. So, the line-up was a bit incomplete, till the time the diesel was launched; but, there's good enough reason why it's taken so much time.
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!
Sensing an opportunity in the market for a multi purpose vehicle that wasnt van-like, Volvo decided to take its V70 station wagon, raise it a bit with some chunkier suspension, install all-wheel-drive and some plastic clad bumpers and voila! the V70 Cross Country was born. In fact, the XC nomenclature that we have come to associate Volvo with today was originally used for the first time on the V70 Cross Country (X-Cross and C-Country). That was in 1997. Fast-forward 20 years to 2017, and Volvo has decided to update its model portfolio and the Cross Country badging is now offered on the V9
