Upcoming Suvs Reviews

While Audi has not outright confirmed whether this is the new Q8 SUV or not, we do hope that the company unveils it at the Beijing Motor Show.

For both Tata Motors and Mahindra, recent and future launches have showcased an ability to improve tremendously, in terms of quality, fit and finish but more so in terms of design. While in the mid 2000s, or even a few years ago, both these auto brands needed to shout (in terms of outrageous design) in order to be seen, both these auto brands now seem to be on a cusp of design maturity. In a recent casual banter on Twitter between Pratap Bose, Head Of Design of Tata Motors and Pawan Goenka, Managing Director of Mahindra & Mahindra, both seem to agree on the fact that Indian home grown designers and designs need to be given more importance, more chances to grow and certainly a bigger place in the automakers ecosystem. And with design studios in India making its mark, we think that process is well underway for both Tata Motors and Mahindra and we at carandbike.com think this is a wonderful thing indeed! Homegrown talent making homegrown designs for homegrown automakers is certainly something to be proud of. And with design studios in India making its mark, we think that process is well underway, not only for Tata and Mahindra, but even automakers like Renault.

Ahead of its global debut at the Beijing Motor Show, Skoda has officially revealed the all new Kamiq SUV for the Chinese market. Following on from the Skoda Kodiaq and the Skoda Karoq, the new Kamiq SUV is to become the third member of the Skoda SUV family. Based on the new design platform from Skoda, the new Kamiq SUV takes cues from the Kodiaq and can be dubbed as a 'Baby Kodiaq'.

The Jeep Wrangler pickup has been spied testing in a video shot by an enthusiast in USA. It will be launched globally in early 2019.

The photographs of the Vision Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury have been leaked ahead of its official debut at the Beijing Motor Show.

Mahindra Rexton a.k.a. G4 SsangYong Rexton SUV was recently spotted in India. Globally, sold under the SsangYong brand, the SUV will be re-badged in India as a Mahindra product and the company has also claimed that it will come with an all-new brand name in place of Rexton. While the Rexton in this video is seen completely undisguised, the logo and brand name badging on the SUV have been masked.

The new Suzuki Ertiga has been showcased for the first time at the annual Indonesia Auto Show. The Ertiga has been an important car for Maruti Suzuki since its launch in 2012 and over 7 lakh Ertigas has been sold globally - a majority in India. Although Maruti Suzuki gave the current Ertiga a facelift a couple of years ago, the MPV has been chugging along at about 4500-5000 units a month. The new Ertiga could possibly make it to the Indian market by late 2018 or early 2019 and will feature both petrol and diesel engines. While the diesel will get the micro hybrid SHVS system, the petrol will also be available in a CNG+Petrol combination, which sees great sales in the private and fleet markets. So here is all you need to know about the new seven seater 2018 Maruti Suzuki Ertiga.

The Toyota Innova is the king of the hill in India and in most south-east Asian countries when it comes to the MPV segment. With great comfortable interiors, outstanding build quality and an exterior design language that has evolved with age across generations, it is the segment benchmark. No wonder then that there are a plethora of MPVs that take inspiration from the Innova. The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is one of the most popular affordable MPVs in the country. Currently still in its first generation in India since its launch in 2012, albeit with a facelift, the Ertiga will soon be replaced with a new generation, which is much larger and more tech laden than ever before. But that apart, the new Ertiga has a lot of references in terms of design to the Innova. So here is a pictorial comparison between the two MPVs, first in their original form an then in their current (in the case of the Innova Crysta) and future (in the case of the new Ertiga).
