Car Reviews

There are always a few car models that define an automotive company. The Accord for Honda is exactly one of those and we did get three generations of the car from 2000-2013 till Honda India pulled the plug due to slow sales. But now it is back in and all new avatar and whats more important than the sharp looks is what it gets under the bonnet - a hybrid powertrain.

Sharing its underpinnings with the XC90 SUV, Volvo's flagship sedan, the S90 is all set to make its debut in India next month and we take it for a spin in Udaipur to see what the beautifully designed luxury sedan has to offer in a segment that is ruled by German manufacturers.

The Land Rover Discovery Sport here is one such SUV that was originally meant to be available only with the diesel motor but now also gets a new 2.0-litre petrol engine just in case the ugly head of the 'diesel ban' decides to pop up again.

Mercedes-Benz India has finally decided to bring the GLA to us in its 4Matic or all-wheel drive version too. And is calling it the GLA Activity Edition. We had scooped the GLA before it came to India with the first exclusive review. So why not do that again with the 4Matic too eh?

Five years is a long time for any car's life cycle but Honda has finally showered some much needed attention on its entry level offering - the Brio hatchback. That said, just like the Amaze before it, the updates on the Brio on the exterior front are quite negligible with most of Honda's attention focused towards making the interior a much nicer place to be. So, let us take you through what is new and what isn't.

On paper, the Volkswagen's new Ameo diesel comes with a number first-in-class features and the most powerful diesel engine. We drive the car to find out if it is really what it promises to be.

Before getting into the car, I was constantly thinking of just that one scene from Golmaal (the original one) where Amol Palekar explains to his boss how he has a twin brother who doesn't have a moustache thus forging a new identity. Well, the story of the Fiat Avventura Urban Cross is somewhat similar. It's the younger, more exuberant brother of the company's compact crossover Avventura, which we've told you everything about.

We pit the Hyundai Creta petrol automatic against its closest rival the Honda BR-V automatic to see which petrol-powered automatic SUV is better.
