First Drive Reviews

I like to believe that the guys at BMW design intentionally maintain the essence, the integrity and the originality of a model's design - because they don't want it to look substantially different. So nothing on a BMW facelift ever screams redesign! Yes this is not a Hyundai!

After the Audi A3 made waves now its soon going to be the turn of the Mercedes-Benz GLA. I dither on calling it an SUV as it's more crossover-like. But it sports some SUV attributes, which make it a rather fun prospect.

Though the previous i20's Fluidic design was received well in India, Hyundai is looking to widen its horizons with the rather European-esque Fluidic 2.0 design philosophy. The company claims this shift in the design philosophy was to transform the car's image, i.e. it wanted the Elite i20 to come across as 'bold' instead of 'youthful'.

There are not many changes to the exterior of the car but Renault has managed to give the Duster AWD a unique set of alterations which sets it apart from the regular car. To begin with it gets, what Renault calls 'Anthracite' alloy wheels, darkened head-lamp clusters and matte black B-pillars on the RxZ trim.

Let's face it. A vehicle facelift is usually never really 'exciting' unless you have some kind of mechanical changes instead of just minor cosmetic upgrades. Thankfully, the Volkswagen Polo facelift does have something 'new' to offer.

One of the biggest debuts at the 2014 Delhi Auto Expo, Honda Mobilio is finally set to launch in India soon. This multi utility vehicle has already generated so much buzz in the market, that frankly we can't recall a MUV launch affording so much attention.

Sometime in 2011, after I drove the Nissan Sunny I thought to myself it's a good car. It's got a decent set of engines, the roomiest rear seat, the biggest boot but, there was one big problem - it was built to a budget. Are things any different with the new car? We find out.

The 3rd generation which made its global debut towards the end of 2013 sports the new bolder face with the kidney grille getting wider and bigger. But having said that the car doesn't look too heavy up front, because unlike the X3 where remember thinking the bumper looks too heavy, this one has been broken up a little bit.
