The Jawa Forty Two offers a slightly modern take on the legendary Jawa name and with some additional colour options as well. We ride the Jawa Forty Two in Rajasthan to see what exactly this modern classic offers.

We spend some time riding the new Jawa in Rajasthan, a classic motorcycle brand which has made a comeback with an all-new four-stroke engine, but with period correct looks.

We got to drive the all-new Nissan Kicks on the barren yet beautiful white desert near Bhuj, and a bit of tarmac.The big play is on styling and some cool tech. But how does the car drive? And are setting up for a battle royale with the Hyundai Creta? Read on!

Audi's 'most important launch of the year' as a spokesman called it, was carefully choreographed: in 2015, the brand launched a concept car, followed by a Sportback derivative; over the year 2018, Audi organised ride-alongs and drives at various stages of development, and now we got to drive the series production version of the fully electric Audi e-tron.

While we've seen the smashing success of Royal Enfield in recent times and more recently the hype surrounding the resurrection of the Jawa brand, a lesser-known manufacturer called Cleveland CycleWerks (CCW) also aims to tap into this segment with its range of small capacity old-school offerings. The US-based company made its India debut at the 2018 Auto Expo and has tied up with Laish Madison Werks Pvt. Ltd. for the assembly and sale of its motorcycles. The Cleveland Ace Deluxe is the first offering from the manufacturer and we took the retro motorcycle out for a spin to find out what it has to offer.

So there you have it. A capable family car now gets even more capable with the launch of the new Ertiga. It is priced well, comes packed to the gills with features and is more spacious too.

With bookings open at Maruti Suzuki Arena dealerships across the country and waiting periods already starting to creep up, if you have been waiting for our review to decide whether or not you should buy one, our answer is a definitive and thumping yes! And if you are worried about your next Uber or Ola being the exact same car as your brand new ertiga, Maruti Suzuki has clearly mentioned that this new gen model will be only for the private market... for now at least.
