The subcompact SUV sensation has added another variant that's likely to be very popular too. Maruti Suzuki India has launched the AMT or as it calls it AGS version of its bestselling Vitara Brezza subcompact SUV. We have the exclusive and official first review of the car.

The Cayenne E-Hybrid uses the boost principle from the 918 Spyder - meaning combining electric and combustion engine power to create exhilarating performance. The car now uses a hang-on all-wheel drive, instead of the conventional Torsen system.

We drive the new Mercedes-AMG E63S 4Matic+ sedan at BIC. Did we tell you that it is the most powerful E-class iteration ever! Here's our review.

Named after a charming village on the Italian Riviera, Portofino conjures up visions of sun soaked beaches, little cafes, sprawling villas and topless beauties. No, not that kind, the car kind! And that is exactly what the new Ferrari Portofino is, a topless i.e. convertible beauty from the legendary Italian automaker.

The BMW i8 has already established a benchmark for performance in the plug-in hybrid space. The new model year brings a drivetrain update with more power and increased driving range. It also brings the topless variant - the i8 Roadster - to the party.

For Rs. 35 lakh of you want a more practical car you should look at the BMW X1, but that seems the boring choice.

Everything about the second generation Amaze is new, including the fact that it's based on a new platform. The subcompact sedan has grown in size, by 5mm, though it's still under 4 metres in length (3995mm) and it's wider too, by 15mm. The petrol powered Amaze is 17 kilos lighter than its predecessor; while the diesel version is 23 kg lighter.

The Maruti Suzuki Baleno is the king of the hill in the subcompact premium hatchback segment when it comes to sales figures. Even though the Baleno is sold only through the Nexa outlets, the hatch sells on average close to 15,000 units a month. That said, the benchmark in the segment has always been the Hyundai i20 with its sharp European looks and well made, well equipped package. And now, Hyundai has given the i20 a mid-life facelift with updated exterior bits, minor interior bits and some mechanical upgrades too. So does it help the Hyundai i20's continued benchmark domination of the segment? And can it now take the fight to the Maruti Suzuki Baleno in terms of sales figures too? Read on to find out..
