Sensing an opportunity in the market for a multi purpose vehicle that wasnt van-like, Volvo decided to take its V70 station wagon, raise it a bit with some chunkier suspension, install all-wheel-drive and some plastic clad bumpers and voila! the V70 Cross Country was born. In fact, the XC nomenclature that we have come to associate Volvo with today was originally used for the first time on the V70 Cross Country (X-Cross and C-Country). That was in 1997. Fast-forward 20 years to 2017, and Volvo has decided to update its model portfolio and the Cross Country badging is now offered on the V9

We are talking about a new generation Nissan Micra that has grown into a modern, sporty and trendy car. What was wrong with the previous generation? Looking at global sales numbers, nothing. In six years it sold over 6 million units worldwide. But it wasn't a success in India. So, we bring you the exclusive review of the new gen Micra that is truly a premium car.

The absolute bestselling model for Mercedes-Benz in India, the E-Class has so far accounted for 34% of sales in the company's over 2 decade history in India.

Toyota had also boarded the two-tone bandwagon last year, given the success most carmakers seem to have with the option. The Etios Liva Platinum edition has this option on the V grade but it seems Toyota received much feedback to introduce the feature in the top spec too. So even though its dealers are calling it a limited edition, the dual-tone is now a bonafide variant being offered on the top two trim grades - V and VX (and in the case of the diesel, VD and VXD).

The Grand i10 from Hyundai has been given its mid-cycle facelifted. If anything this makeover was long overdue! The company has launched the car in India and we've already driven it. Here's what it's all about.

The new Mercedes-Benz E-Class is all-set to arrive in India this year. While there is still a bit of time before we can get our hands on the India-spec model, here's our review of the global-spec E-Class, and find out why we thinks its the best sedan from Daimler yet.

With the new 7th generation G30, the BMW 5 Series is ready to launch a counter-offensive and really fight back. And having driven the car - I'd say it has got the goods to do it.

The Ignis has one of the most polarising designs that we have seen in recent times, but, you cant deny the fact that as a car, it is quite striking. If the exterior design doesnt seem to attract you, the interior on the Ignis certainly will. In fact, the Ignis is by far the best designed Maruti we have even had in India. The Ignis, just like the Baleno will get both petrol and a diesel engine. The petrol engine will be the same 1.2 litre 4-cylinder K12 enigne that does duty in the Baleno and the Swift. The diesel on the other hand is the 1.3 litre DDiS engine that again does duty in like likes of the Swift, Baleno and Ciaz. For the first time in this segment, both the petrol and diesel engine will be equipped with a AMT gearbox. The Maruti Suzuki Ignis will be launched on January 13, 2017 and should be priced aggressively. Of course, the Ignis will be available only in Nexa dealerships. The Ignis should be priced between Rs 4.50 lakh and Rs 7 lakh.
