Audi Q3 S Edition

Introduction SUVs are the flavour of the week. Everyone wants one: in developed countries, they work well in snow or low-grip conditions. In countries like India, they don’t bottom out or scrape their bellies on speed bumps or in giant potholes. The urban SUV is a result of this demand,...

Nissan Sunny facelift

Introduction The Sunny has been around for a few years now, but it hasn’t been the success it needed to be for Nissan India despite being a very strong package. Somehow, all its good traits were construed (rightly) as value, and it never entered the brand-conscious buyer’s options list. Now...

2014 Ford Fiesta

2014 Chevrolet Beat LT TCDI

Introduction Majority of the cars sold in India are under Rs 10 lakh. This emphasises how important pricing is to our market.

Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG

Introduction A fast car isn’t usually fast in Indian conditions. Supercars that have to crawl over speed breakers gingerly, aren’t the best companions in traffic and cannot be taken for holidays out on the highway simply because of the attention they garner. An option, then, is the super-SUV, which has...

Honda Mobilio

Introduction It may sound amusing to many who know me, but I was really excited about the prospects of reviewing the Mobilio. To most around me it is a people carrier – of course a very important one, but still an MPV that is built to choose practicality over almost...

Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG

Introduction There are very few things that can get me out at 0530 hours on a Saturday morning after a tiring week. A 2.0 litre turbocharged petrol sedan with AWD is certainly one of them. The rally enthusiast in me is smiling – Mercedes-Benz has used the Japanese formula to...

Tata Zest

Introduction The past few years haven’t been good to Tata Motors’ passenger car division. It has had a few good products, but there always was something that didn’t sit right. Of course, there were even more things that were brilliant about the products, but desirability, one of the most important...

Audi A3

Introduction The world of cars seems to have come full circle. Not in terms of sales or the options available, but every single car that has grown over the decades to a size above now needs another model below it that is of the original size of that car. Premium...

Mercedes-Benz A-Class Edition 1

Introduction Mercedes-Benz India’s sales exploded in 2013 and the surge has a lot to do with the German brand making its vehicles more appealing to younger buyers. By introducing cars like the A-Class and the B-Class, Mercedes managed to bury its conservative image and create a new breed of entry-level...

Volkswagen Polo facelift

Introduction The Polo has been one of the most unfortunate victims of the Indian regulations because despite the build quality, great handling and contemporary European styling, the anorexic engines were a downer. It ended being an option in the premium hatchback segment instead of being an obvious choice. This is...
