The Future Is Here
“If at all we can get close to the great electric vehicle dream, it has to be through the hybrid route. Hybrids are of two kinds, mild and hard. Hard hybrids offer a lot of value and the all-new up market TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID ELECTRIC is the right example of a perfect hard hybrid. Typically for every 1000km you drive in this vehicle around 500 odd kms are run using electric power.

Fine Tuned
This new update of the Jazz adds a few extra notes to an already jazzy tune. The touchscreen infotainment system with navigation is perhaps the best of the new additions and the armrest is also appreciated. The move to make dual airbags, ABS and EBD standard, enhances the safety factor. By no means is the Jazz a bad pick.

Meaningful Change
Change is one of the most essential cogs in the wheel of evolution; some may be drastic while others subtle. But if any change is not meaningful, it hardly ever leaves an impact. Honda is one such manufacturer which has made a meaningful change in its recently launched Brio hatchback.

Solid Steps
There are people who want a bike that can take them from one point to another without asking for much, and then there are people who want a set of wheels that can make heads turn or make hearts stop with their performance. But recently there has been a new sect of people who are somewhere in the middle, who want a bit of both worlds. This has resulted in the shift in focus towards the 150cc segment. Making their entry in this segment is Hero MotoCorp and what better way to show up with a bang than calling their product ‘Achiever 150’!
