Skoda Kodiaq Review

The Skoda Kodiaq is the Czech carmaker's big bet as it aims at rapidly increasing volumes in existing and new markets worldwide. And why not, after all SUVs and compact SUVs with a crossover flavour are the 'it' segment and see much higher growth (and margins) than industry averages. This is of course just as true in India too, and which is why the Kodiaq becomes very important for us - and indeed Skoda India too!

  Mercedes-Benz CLA Facelift Review

  Of course, every car needs a bit of a refresh every few years and that is exactly what Mercedes-Benz India has done too. But, if you expect this to be a noticeable difference, you might be disappointed.

  Exclusive: Second Generation Audi Q5 2.0 TDI Quattro Ultra Review

  The new generation of the Audi Q5 is a comprehensively improved vehicle. Not that the last car had glaring flaws - after all it has been a hit since its 2008 launch. But yes 8 years really called for a new model. And so 1.6 million units later the next generation car is ready to roll. The new Q5 has many changes and firsts on it, but one most significant to the start the story with, is that it's being built outside Germany.

  Skoda Rapid Facelift Review

  Like the Octavia, the Skoda Rapid has also been an underrated car and we strongly believe that the Czech based car manufacturer should have introduced this facelift at least a year ago, but well, better late than never.

  2016 Hyundai Tucson Review

  The boom in the SUV segment in India is quite obvious and with the Creta doing really well even at almost Rs 16 lakh, there was definitely a market for a slightly more premium SUV. And this is why the new Tucson fits perfectly well in Hyundais SUV portfolio, right slap bang in the space between the Creta and the Santa Fe.

  Audi RS7 Performance Package Review

  We already had the RS7 in India and yes we loved it, because it had a crazy amount of horsepower packed into a car that more or less was a nice looking luxury sedan. But Audi thought that 552bhp is not enough, which is why they increased the boost in this one and calls it the RS7 Performance.

  Second Generation Toyota Fortuner Review

  The first impression I want to put down for you is that the new Fortuner is indeed a better, more refined and better-finished car. And while it has taken its time to get to India, I am glad it is finally here and Toyota has launched the new Fortuner at Rs 25.92 lakh for the petrol and Rs 31.12 lakh for the diesel.
