The wait for the Q5 facelift has been quite long. The SUV stopped selling in India before the BS6 era began and the pandemic delayed its replacements’ arrival on our shores even more. The year 2021 has seen a strong resurgence from the German brand when it comes it launches across all segments – barring the Q series. This facelift makes up for that gap. It is being assembled at the Skoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited plant in Aurangabad, Maharashtra and is being offered in two trims – premium plus and technology, we drive the latter. #Audi #Q5 #review #firstdrive #audiQ5 #SUV #offroad 0:00 - Introduction 0:06 - 2021 Audi Q5 facelift 0:56 - 2021 Audi Q5 facelift Exterior 1:41 - 2021 Audi Q5 facelift Look 2:12 - 2021 Audi Q5 facelift Cabin 2:30 - 2021 Audi Q5 facelift Cabin Tech 4:10 - 2021 Audi Q5 facelift Specifications 4:27 - 2021 Audi Q5 facelift Performance 5:28 - 2021 Audi Q5 facelift Driving Modes 6:55 - 2021 Audi Q5 facelift Features ➡️The updated Q5 gets a completely new face here.

The Slavia is 138 mm longer than the Rapid, and the wheelbase is about 100 mm more than the Rapid so more legroom at the rear. ➡️The Slavia comes with 2 turbocharged petrol powertrains. There's a 1-litre and a 1.5-litre iteration.

The Mahindra XUV700 has taken the market by storm and has achieved record fastest bookings too. But one reason for the buzz is the incredible starting price of the new midsize SUV.

In the last decade every tech major has developed its own virtual assistant. While this has happened, automakers have also caught up at the high end — Mercedes already has its own assistant and now MG is democratising the concept with its own virtual assistant which debuts with the Astor. The Astor actually goes beyond this with AI infused at its heart and it even has ADAS capability. It features a first of its kind assistant which understands context like Siri or the google assistant. Appropriately, this video has been created using the latest avatar of the phone that heralded the era of virtual assistants — the new iPhone 13 Pro.

We spend an enjoyable day, putting the all-new Force Gurkha through its paces and try to find out where it fits in the SUV food chain. Our time spent with the Gurkha suggests that the Gurkha gets most things right, but it does have its flaws. #gurkha #forcemotors #SUV #2021ForceGurkha #ForceGurkha #Gurkha #ForceMotors #GurkhaSUV #ForceSUV #OffRoad #SUV #Cars #ForceCars #ForceGurkhaReview #OffRoadSUV #SiddharthVinayakPatankar #ForceMotorsIndia #carandbike 0:00 - Introduction 1:12 - Force Gurkha Exterior Analysis 2:49 - Force Gurkha Interior Analysis 3:16 - Force Gurkha Cabin 4:55 - Force Gurkha Specifications 5:16 - Force Gurkha Performance Analysis 9:39 - Final Verdict ➡️The Gurkha continues to get a boxy, upright stance like before. The new Gurkha gets a clamshell bonnet, circular LED headlights with integrated daytime running lights, a new single-slat grille up front with the bold 'Gurkha' lettering and the bumper is new too. ➡️Under that bonnet, the Gurkha gets the same Mercedes-sourced 2.6-litre diesel engine which makes about 90 bhp and 250 Nm of peak torque. There is a 5-speed manual gearbox as well, but no automatic, not even as an option. ➡️The new Gurkha gets independent double-wishbone suspension up front and 5-link rigid axle units at the rear, with coil springs and anti-sway bars on all four wheels. Locking differentials front and rear along with four-wheel drive and low ratio are standard as well. ➡️Force Motors say that there will be a bunch of customisation option to choose from as well such as the ladder, roof-rails, jerry cans and all-terrain tyres that you see on our test car.

The N Line is to Hyundai what AMG is to Mercedes or M Performance is to BMW. Well, sort of! And Hyundai recently launched its first ever ‘N’ model in India, the i20 N Line. It gets a stiffer suspension by up to 30 per cent, disc brakes on all four wheels and a slightly weighted steering wheel. Of course, the exhaust note is richer, throatier too. But how do these changes work in the real world. We get behind the wheel of the new i20 N Line and take it for a spin in the city of Udaipur. #i20NLine #Hyundai #i20 #Hyundaii20NLine #Hyundaii20 #NLine #Hyundai #NewCars #HyundaiCars #Review #FirstLook #SiddharthVinayakPatankar #carandbike 0:00 - Introduction 0:39 - i20 N Line Performance Analysis 3:23 - i20 N Line Specifications 3:37 - i20 N Line First Drive Review 4:34 - i20 N Line Features 5:21 - i20 N Line Exterior 5:57 - i20 N Line Interior 6:14 - i20 N Line Variants 6:22 - Hyundai i20 N Line Price 6:36 - i20 N Line Rival 7:08 - Hyundai i20 N Line Final Review ➡️The Hyundai i20 N Line is the first N Line model to be launched in India and it gets significant updates over the standard i20 hatchback. We sample the new i20 N Line and tell you how the changes affect the performance of the car. ➡️The i20 N Line gets disc brakes on all four wheels, paddle-shifters on the DCT variant and a throatier, richer exhaust note! Our opinion is that the i20 N Line is perhaps the best-sounding car in the ₹ 10 lakh to ₹ 15 lakh bracket. ➡️The 1.0-litre turbo petrol motor makes 118 bhp at 6,000 rpm, with a peak torque output of 172 Nm coming in between 1,500-4,000 rpm. ➡️There are three variants of the i20 N Line on sale - the N6 iMT, N8 iMT and the N8 DCT. Prices start at ₹ 9.84 lakh and go up to ₹ 11.75 lakh (Ex-showroom) for these three models. There is a premium OF about ₹ 52,000 for N8 models over the Asta trim of the standard i20. ➡️Its biggest rival currently is the Volkswagen Polo, a car which is over 10 years old but still packs a solid punch in terms of performance. ➡️Prices for the Polo with the 1.0-litre TSI engine start at ₹ 7.70 lakh and go up to ₹ 9.99 lakh, with a total of 7 variants on offer, making it significantly more affordable than the i20 N Line.

he French are famous for their cheeses, wines and the lovely hospitality. And they make decent cars too! One of newest companies to enter the Indian automotive market was Citroen, as French a company as it can get, and the first model to arrive in India was the C5 Aircross! In his review, Siddharth established the fact that the C5 Aircross was perhaps the perfect vehicle for Citroen to enter the Indian market. Billed as the 'comfort class', the key messaging from the company was that the SUV focusses primarily on occupants' comfort. But, is that all to it? Or does the Citroen C5 Aircross has the goods to take on its rivals, the Jeep Compass and the Hyundai Tucson? Well, that's precisely what we find out!
