Tata Hexa is a full-blooded SUV, it's bigger than the Compass, in every manner, and looks butch and imposing. The Jeep Compass is stylish, essentially a scaled down version of the Grand Cherokee, something you'll stop to give a second look to. And we pit them against each other to find the one true winner.
When you compare prices outright, the Kwid AMT ranges from Rs 3.78-4.49 lakh(ex-showroom) and is available in four variants. The Tiago on the other hand is priced between Rs 4.79-5.39 lakh (ex-showroom) and is available only in two variants. The Tiago gets a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder Revotron unit that makes 84 bhp and 114 Nm of torque - which when compared to the Kwid is 17 more horsepower and 23 more newton metres of torque. And the difference is almost immediately obvious. Under the bonnet, the Kwid gets a buzzy little 1-litre three cylinder motor that makes 67 bhp and 91 Nm. The gearbox is a 5-speed AMT unit that has been mated to a rather unconventional shifter knob instead of a normal lever between the front seats. While the Tiago offers a much better put together interior in terms of plastic quality, fit and finish and overall appeal, the Kwid offers features galore. The Tiago does not get a touchscreen infotainment system and navigation like the Kwid does and in 2017, features like those do actually make the difference for the average buyer. In terms of space though, both are about evenly matched.
The new Hyundai Verna in its 5th generation is all set to make its India debut on August 22. The new sedan from the Korean automaker, now in its third generation in India, will take on the likes of popular offerings like the Honda City and the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz. The new Hyundai Verna in its past offerings was a popular car in the Indian sedan space for its good looks, well spec interior and creature comforts. So lets see how the new Hyundai Verna stacks up on paper against its rivals.
We spend some time with the Yamaha FZ25 and its closest rival, the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V. The Apache 200 has a slightly smaller engine, but both bikes are evenly matched in terms of performance, and sit more or less in the same price bracket.
We spend some time with two new performance roadsters - the Triumph Street Triple S, and the Kawasaki Z900. Both are nakeds, both promise a lot of performance, and more than enough bang for your buck. We try to decide which one to choose
The Tigor is the most affordable subcompact sedan, while the Maruti Suzuki Dzire has been a top seller. We try and found out if the Dzire has what it takes to compete against a newbie like the Tigor
On the one hand, we have the second generation and, on the other, we have a second coming. The Innova Crysta has its share of fan following, but it now wants to move on from being an MPV to a more lifestyle oriented SUV, while the newbie Hexa already carries the SUV genes from the Aria and is out there to prove how capable it is.
The Hyundai Xcent Facelift and the Volkswagen Ameo are both good-looking, feature rich and comes with capable powertrain options. So which one is a better choice? Let's find out.
