Pure Indulgence

The new 5th generation Long Wheel Base E-Class from Mercedes Benz India is not all about speed, power and torque. It is a lot about Indulgence. Where else in the world will you find in a car, a rear seat so spacious and an ambient lighting with 64 different shades for your cabin that light up areas on the dashboard, under the front seats, on the door trims, etc?

one in a million

let me take you back in time to 2013. it was the year when tvs motor company decided to set foot in the male scooter segment. to make a mark in the already crowded market they needed a larger than life product and thus the people of india were introduced to jupiter. jumping back to present day (2016) we have a proof of the success that jupiter brought for tvs, a sales figure of 1 million units in just 3 years! to celebrate the occasion tvs has introduced the million edition for the jupiter. we recently got our hands on it and discovered what is new in this one in a million scooter. 

Maruti Suzuki Baleno RS Real Sport

Maruti Suzuki may be the No.1 car manufacturer in the country and their cars may be the best when it comes to utilitarian advantages. But driving a stock car from Maruti Suzuki on an international high speed race circuit could seem a bit farfetched an idea.

Ducati XDiavel S Perfect Blend

The future of motorcycling has arrived. It takes the shape of a bike which combines the best of the cruiser world with the DNA and racing heritage of Italian stalwart Ducati.

Honda WR-V Jazzier

What is the one word used to define a Honda car that that has utilised the platform from the Jazz model to become longer, has an increased wheelbase and ground clearance and has very modern features that give a run for its money to several of its competitors? Jazzier!

Tata Tigor: Styled To Perfection

All of us who were there at the recent Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland would vouch for the fact that there is another word besides Namo that is getting popular by the day and that is TaMo from Tata Motors. The company pleasantly surprised visitors with a brilliantly designed car that goes by the name of Racemo, besides of course showcasing the Geneva edition of the Tigor and the Nexon.

Awakening

Tata Motors began work on the Hexa a few years back. They tested it over eight hundred thousand kilometers, in temperatures ranging from minus twenty degrees to upwards of fifty degrees Celsius, over three continents and varied terrains. The Hexa is not just another premium utility vehicle; it is symbolic of a giant awakening from its slumber.

Queen on Wheels

There was a personal note from one of the senior officials of Volvo Auto India that greeted me when I reached Jodhpur in the state of Rajasthan for test driving the new Volvo S90 sedan. In his note he described the new Volvo S90 car as the “Queen on wheels in this land of Maharajas”.

Fast, Furious & Green

Let’s sing the birthday song first. The Honda Accord is into its 40th year today, having been launched in 1976. The Accord has sold more than 21 million units all over the world.

A Reckoning

Every year we see slew of new products being launched in the automotive market, some are me too products while others post a stiff competition for contending brands. It is a rare occasion when a game changing product is launched and Skoda has done just that with their new Rapid. It packs a lot of features and gets a right mix performance and comfort, a reckoning long expected from Skoda. We got a chance to take the new Rapid for a spin and here is what we made of it.

Braveheart

They say making bold decisions is for the foolhardy and wisdom only comes with age. But it is the courage of brave hearts that has brought mankind to the frontier we are now at. Decisions which redefine standards may be considered reckless but infact usher in the era of a brave new world, where change may be an uphill climb but only for the betterment of us all. Bajaj in many ways has pronounced change and has ushered in an era of evolution which will redefine motorcycling for Indians. 

Everyday Racer

There is a racer resting in each of us.

TRACK MATE!

The race track is a place for bikes with big muscles, generally with motors as big as 800-900cc ruling the circuits.

Stylish & Stronger

Remember the famous words of Carlos Ghosn, the bossman of Renault and Nissan? “This is a car for conquest”, he said in Chennai in the summer of 2015 when the Kwid was launched in its 800cc avatar.

Powerful Cruiser

Diverse cultures make up this beautiful country of ours. Many a times the tastes and preferences of people are revealed by the products they buy for themselves.

Italian Stallion

When I first laid my eyes on the Benelli 600 GT it reminded me a lot of the movie Rocky. The film is based around a struggling boxer Rocky Balboa who eventually ends up becoming one of the most celebrated boxers of all time and is fondly called the Italian Stallion.

Rumble in the Jungle

When 30 massive 4X4 vehicles with souped up engines, high profile tyres, super tough suspensions, rock solid gear boxes and gritty drivers get into the jungle, there is a rumble that everybody gets to hear.
