New Cars Reviews

Renault India has today launched the 2014 Renault Fluence in India at a starting price of Rs 13.99 lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi). It's basically a mid-life facelift of the car and therefore gets only cosmetic updates. There are no changes made under the hood.

General Motors India has launched the updated Chevrolet Cruze in the price bracket of Rs 13.70 lakh to Rs 16.19 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi). The company claims that the updated 6-speed automatic gearbox results in improved fuel efficiency and the ARAI figure for the Cruze is 14.81km/l.

Nissan has released a teaser video of its 2015 Murano crossover and the car is scheduled to make its official debut at the New York International Auto Show.

This year we'll see the facelifted Swift and Swift Dzire and the brand new Maruti Ciaz, while the XA Alpha based compact SUV and SX4 S-Cross will enter the market in 2015.

Taking its design cues from the company's all new Genesis sedan, the new Sonta is surely a much better looking car now than the outgoing version. The sedan gets a new grille and long headlamps, which are also seen in the Genesis.
