First Drive News

Given the huge volumes the last Evoque generated, JLR would need this one to fire too. Especially given the company's $4.4 bn loss posted in the last quarter 2018.

The latest from BMW is the M850i xDrive. We test the car in sunny Portugal with the top down to get you a comprehensive perspective on the new 8 family. India will be getting the 4-door 8 Series Gran Coupe but it will share its dynamics and performance, styling and equipment with this car; and its engines too.

BMW's new flagship SUV is the first-ever X7. The model finally gives BMW its much-needed standard three-row car, offering new levels of luxury, space and comfort that was so far only seen on BMW's sedan portfolio only until now. We test the new model in the United States - which without a doubt is the number one target market for the BMW X7. We have driven the xDrive40i - which is confirmed as one of two variants we can expect in India.

The new 2019 Ford Figo facelift is here and we got a chance to get behind the wheel! It gets a bunch of updates to the looks, features and gets a new 1.2-litre dragon petrol engine as well. Here's what we think about the updated hatchback.

It's not a car, it's not a three-wheeled rickshaw, and it's plonked in an all-new segment called quadricycle. And we have driven India's first quadricycle, the new Bajaj Qute!

The latest from Wolfsburg is the Volkswagen T-Cross. We test it in sunny Spain and find a competent, well-designed compact SUV. This will be the MQB A0 platform SUV that has been talked about aplenty in VW and Skoda's big plan for India. Expect it to hit the market only next year. We have driven the petrol and diesel models.

The SsangYong-Mahindra partnership has brought in another new model, which could prove to be the next big thing in the subcompact SUV segment in India. Yes! We are talking about the Mahindra XUV300, based on the SsangYong Tivoli. Here's our first impression of the car!

Skoda's flagship SUV - the Kodiaq - made its India debut in 2017 and since then has been one of the strong competitors in the full size SUV segment in the country. It has been a winner, when it went up against the new generation of the Honda CR-V. When we compared it with the Honda CR-V we said that the Kodiaq lacked a bit of flashiness; and that's because the CR-V brought a lot of bling to the table. But no matter, it looks like Skoda has heard what we said, because it decided that it needed to Jazz up the SUV and brought in the Laurin and Klement variant of the car. First introduced at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show , the SUV made its way to the country in November 2018 and since then, we've been waiting to get our hands on it
