THE SYNERGY BETWEEN BEAUTY AND TECH

BMW X1

One word for the all-new thirdgeneration BMW X1: Evolved! BMW has always been about powerful machines with great comfort. The previous gen BMW X1 was loved and enjoyed by a large crowd due to its practical yet luxurious nature in the entry-level luxury SUV segment. But when compared the updated 2023 version of the X1, it feels fusty appearance-wise. The new -gen X1 comes with many upgrades, changes and a brand-new facelift. And I, for one, am a seeker of sporty looks. Thus I’m very intrigued to try my hands at this car and discover whether it is as sporty while driving as it looks with its new facelift.

Everyone has different views on what luxury is for them. For me, luxury is all about taking time out of my on-the-go life just for myself. It can be as simple as sitting at home reading a book or watching Netflix, going out on a long drive chasing the sunset, or simply going out with friends to a place and listening to some good tunes and relaxing surrounded by nature.

While I already had the key to the newest gen X1 in my hands, I decided to go for a day trip to Lonavala. Meaning I get to test out the car and have my small getaway. Let’s start the journey, shall we?

EASY GOING MILE MUNCHER: HERO XOOM 160

AFTER WHAT FEELS LIKE AN ETERNITY, we've finally had the chance to ride the Hero Xoom 160. I was really looking forward to it — not just because it's India's first homegrown maxi-scooter, but also because it brings something unique to the table, with a style and character that leans more towards the adventure segment. Unveiled at EICMA 2024, the Xoom 160 made its India debut at the Bharat Mobility Show earlier this year, and was launched at ₹1.49 lakh. It features a new engine, stronger underpinnings, and a host of other upgrades, all aimed at competing with the likes of the Yamaha Aerox 155 and the new TVS NTorq 150. So, what’s it like from behind the handlebar? Read on to find out.
