We spend an enjoyable day, putting the all-new Force Gurkha through its paces and try to find out where it fits in the SUV food chain. Our time spent with the Gurkha suggests that the Gurkha gets most things right, but it does have its flaws. #gurkha #forcemotors #SUV #2021ForceGurkha #ForceGurkha #Gurkha #ForceMotors #GurkhaSUV #ForceSUV #OffRoad #SUV #Cars #ForceCars #ForceGurkhaReview #OffRoadSUV #SiddharthVinayakPatankar #ForceMotorsIndia #carandbike 0:00 - Introduction 1:12 - Force Gurkha Exterior Analysis 2:49 - Force Gurkha Interior Analysis 3:16 - Force Gurkha Cabin 4:55 - Force Gurkha Specifications 5:16 - Force Gurkha Performance Analysis 9:39 - Final Verdict ➡️The Gurkha continues to get a boxy, upright stance like before. The new Gurkha gets a clamshell bonnet, circular LED headlights with integrated daytime running lights, a new single-slat grille up front with the bold 'Gurkha' lettering and the bumper is new too. ➡️Under that bonnet, the Gurkha gets the same Mercedes-sourced 2.6-litre diesel engine which makes about 90 bhp and 250 Nm of peak torque. There is a 5-speed manual gearbox as well, but no automatic, not even as an option. ➡️The new Gurkha gets independent double-wishbone suspension up front and 5-link rigid axle units at the rear, with coil springs and anti-sway bars on all four wheels. Locking differentials front and rear along with four-wheel drive and low ratio are standard as well. ➡️Force Motors say that there will be a bunch of customisation option to choose from as well such as the ladder, roof-rails, jerry cans and all-terrain tyres that you see on our test car.

The N Line is to Hyundai what AMG is to Mercedes or M Performance is to BMW. Well, sort of! And Hyundai recently launched its first ever ‘N’ model in India, the i20 N Line. It gets a stiffer suspension by up to 30 per cent, disc brakes on all four wheels and a slightly weighted steering wheel. Of course, the exhaust note is richer, throatier too. But how do these changes work in the real world. We get behind the wheel of the new i20 N Line and take it for a spin in the city of Udaipur. #i20NLine #Hyundai #i20 #Hyundaii20NLine #Hyundaii20 #NLine #Hyundai #NewCars #HyundaiCars #Review #FirstLook #SiddharthVinayakPatankar #carandbike 0:00 - Introduction 0:39 - i20 N Line Performance Analysis 3:23 - i20 N Line Specifications 3:37 - i20 N Line First Drive Review 4:34 - i20 N Line Features 5:21 - i20 N Line Exterior 5:57 - i20 N Line Interior 6:14 - i20 N Line Variants 6:22 - Hyundai i20 N Line Price 6:36 - i20 N Line Rival 7:08 - Hyundai i20 N Line Final Review ➡️The Hyundai i20 N Line is the first N Line model to be launched in India and it gets significant updates over the standard i20 hatchback. We sample the new i20 N Line and tell you how the changes affect the performance of the car. ➡️The i20 N Line gets disc brakes on all four wheels, paddle-shifters on the DCT variant and a throatier, richer exhaust note! Our opinion is that the i20 N Line is perhaps the best-sounding car in the ₹ 10 lakh to ₹ 15 lakh bracket. ➡️The 1.0-litre turbo petrol motor makes 118 bhp at 6,000 rpm, with a peak torque output of 172 Nm coming in between 1,500-4,000 rpm. ➡️There are three variants of the i20 N Line on sale - the N6 iMT, N8 iMT and the N8 DCT. Prices start at ₹ 9.84 lakh and go up to ₹ 11.75 lakh (Ex-showroom) for these three models. There is a premium OF about ₹ 52,000 for N8 models over the Asta trim of the standard i20. ➡️Its biggest rival currently is the Volkswagen Polo, a car which is over 10 years old but still packs a solid punch in terms of performance. ➡️Prices for the Polo with the 1.0-litre TSI engine start at ₹ 7.70 lakh and go up to ₹ 9.99 lakh, with a total of 7 variants on offer, making it significantly more affordable than the i20 N Line.

he French are famous for their cheeses, wines and the lovely hospitality. And they make decent cars too! One of newest companies to enter the Indian automotive market was Citroen, as French a company as it can get, and the first model to arrive in India was the C5 Aircross! In his review, Siddharth established the fact that the C5 Aircross was perhaps the perfect vehicle for Citroen to enter the Indian market. Billed as the 'comfort class', the key messaging from the company was that the SUV focusses primarily on occupants' comfort. But, is that all to it? Or does the Citroen C5 Aircross has the goods to take on its rivals, the Jeep Compass and the Hyundai Tucson? Well, that's precisely what we find out!

The Amaze has been Honda’s largest selling product in the market for a while. More than 4.5 lakh units of the car have been sold till date since it first launched in the market. The Japanese car maker introduced a brand-new gen of the subcompact sedan in India in 2018 and now it has been given a mid-life facelift. It comes with its fair share of changes on the outside and a few on the inside while the engines remain the same.

More than 4.5 lakh units of the car have been sold till date since it first launched in the market. ➡️The Japanese car maker introduced a brand-new gen of the subcompact sedan in India in 2018 and now it has been given a mid-life facelift. ➡️It comes with its fair share of changes on the outside and a few on the inside as well, while the engine options remain unchanged. ➡️Honda is continuing to offer the car with both petrol and diesel engines and both get manual and CVT options. I got to drive the 5-speed Diesel manual where the 1,498 cc 4-cylinder motor makes 99 bhp @ 3,600 rpm and 200 Nm @ 1,750 rpm. ➡️This is the is the most powerful version of the car, as on the CVT the same engine offers 79 bhp and 160 Nm.

The compact SUV remains the hottest, most crowded, and fastest growing segment in India's passenger car market. And the Volkswagen Taigun has just driven into it. While the segment has many players, the leader by a long shot is the Hyundai Creta. Combined with its Korean cousin alter ego - the Kia Seltos - it monopolises the segment handsomely. So we'll have a proper segment shootout once we have the VW Taigun's pricing. And remember, the Kia Seltos is our reigning champ in this segment. But seeing that the Hyundai Creta is the segment bestseller, it makes sense to pit the Taigun against it to tell you how they're alike and how they're also very different. So, it is the market leader versus the newbie for now! Both SUVs are starkly different but to the buyer they will fall in the same consideration set. #Taigun #Creta #suv #hyundai #volkswagen #compactsuv #taigunsuv #hyundaisuv #volkswagen #hyundai #SiddharthVinayakPatankar #carreview #carcomparison #carandbike 0:00 - Introduction 1:39 - Taigun Exterior Analysis 3:29 - Powertrain Options 4:04 - Specifications of Taigun 1.5 TSI 4:24 - Taigun Performance Analysis 5:52 - Specifications of Creta 1.4 GDI 6:29 - Creta Performance Analysis 7:42 - Taigun Interior Analysis 9:36 - Creta Interior Analysis 11:31 - Final Verdict ➡️The VW model is very classical in its proportions, straight lines and at one glance and you know it's German. And more importantly, you know it's a Volkswagen. But the Taigun looks obviously compact, while the Creta gives the impression of being bigger than it is. ➡️The Hyundai Creta gets three powertrain options including diesel, a naturally aspirated petrol, and the top-of-the-line GDI turbo petrol. The Volkswagen Taigun sticks to the VW Group's petrol-only strategy for India, and offers two turbo petrol engines. ➡️The Taigun's 1.5 TSI belts out 148 bhp and 250 Nm of peak torque. It comes mated to either a 6-Speed manual transmission or a 7-Speed DSG or dual-clutch gearbox. ➡️The Creta's 1.4-Turbo too feels sporty but with a different character altogether. The 1.4 GDI motor churns out 138 bhp and 242 Nm of peak torque. It has a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission as standard. ➡️On safety parameters both SUVs are well-loaded. Features like six-airbags, antilock braking or ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution or EBD, Electronic Stability Control or ESC, Traction Control, Hill Hold Control, Tyre Pressure Warning and ISOFIX child seat mounts are in both cars at the top end. No crash test ratings with us for either though.

The wait for the BIG SUV from Mahindra is finally over. The Mahindra XUV700 flagship SUV has been in the making for more than 3 years now and there are a lot of promises made by the company for the new car. It says it redefines the segment and so we went to the company’s newest test facility to check out what it’s all about. We got to spend limited time with the diesel and petrol variants to check out what it’s all about! #mahindra #xuv700 #suv #mahindraxuv700 #xuv700reviews #carreviews #carandbike 0:00 - Introduction 1:13 - XUV700 Exterior Analysis 1:43 - Dimensions 3:26 - XUV700 Interior Analysis 6:55 - XUV700 Petrol Automatic 7:10 - XUV700 Petrol Specifications 7:22 - XUV700 Petrol Performance Analysis 8:55 - XUV700 Diesel Automatic 9:47 - XUV700 Diesel Specifications 10:08 - XUV700 Diesel Performance Analysis 11:12 - XUV700 Diesel Manual 11:23 - XUV700 Diesel Manual Specifications 11:42 - XUV700 Diesel Manual Performance Analysis 12:22 - Front & Rear Suspension 13:15 - Safety Features 15:02 - XUV700 Price in India ➡️The XUV700 certainly is an evolution of the XUV500. It retains the muscular haunches that the XUV500 had and even the bulge on the bonnet, gives it a very '500' look. ➡️The XUV700 gets a 2-litre turbo petrol unit which pushes out 197 bhp yes that's a huge amount of power, but with the 6-speed automatic transmission there is a bit of lag and that's because the torque of 380 Nm kicks in only around 2000 rpm and so the initial lag is very evident and this will especially be more evident in traffic conditions. ➡️The 2.2-litre unit punches out 182 bhp and in the automatic, there's 450 Nm of torque available which is massive. ➡️The 2.2 litre Diesel also comes with this 6-speed manual option and though the torque figures are less than the automatic at 420 Nm, the good thing is that it kicks in earlier at 1,600 rpm which means you get a better response in this band, especially with the gears in your control. ➡️The XUV700 gets advanced driver assistance systems bringing features like forward collision warning, AEB, lane keep assist and more. ➡️The Mahindra XUV700 excites with its starting price of ₹ 11.99 lakh (ex-showroom), undercutting several compact SUVs as well as midsize offerings.

It's off the road where the V-Cross is in its element and we didn't step back to test its true mettle on the rough. Impressively, the new 1.9-litre diesel engine feels more at ease on the highway as well and the V-Cross still fairly surprises you with its dynamics. Here’s the review.

We've been waiting to get our hands on Volkswagen's latest compact SUV - the Taigun. To do so we headed to Udaipur to sample the 1.5 TSI variant of the car. Of course, we got to sample the manual and automatic transmission of the car and deep dive into the features it has to offer as well. So how did the Taigun fair? Well, our comprehensive and most detailed review tells all #volkswagen #taigun #compactsuv #volkswagentaigun #taigunreview #carreview #carandbike 0:00 - Introduction 1:58 - Taigun Exterior Analysis 4:57 - Specifications of Taigun 5:44 - Taigun Performance Analysis 7:11 - Driving Modes in Taigun 7:50 - Hill Hold Assist Feature 8:25 - Cylinder Deactivation Feature 9:14 - Taigun Mileage 9:30 - First Drive Review 10:58 - Taigun Interior Analysis 12:02 - Features of Taigun 14:36 - Taigun Price in India ➡️The new Volkswagen Taigun drives into India's fastest growing car segment - the compact SUV. The Taigun launches with two engine types - the 1.5 four cylinder petrol and 1.0 TSI three cylinder petrol. ➡️The engine on the car is well proven globally. the 1.5 TSI makes 148 bhp and produces 250 Nm of peak torque that runs all the way from 1500 to 3500 rpm. The Taigun gets a 1.0 TSI too with 113 bhp on tap. ➡️The Taigun with the 1.5-litre engine gets the cylinder deactivation system which cuts off two cylinders when you are coasting, aiding in better fuel efficiency. ➡️The Volkswagen Taigun also does well on rough and broken roads, and some pebbly tracks. ➡️The GT models are expected with the 6-airbags as standard. Electronic Stability Control or ESC is standard, so is traction control, rear parking sensors, I love that 3-point seatbelts are standard for all 5 passengers. ➡️The Taigun's 1 litre variant should start at ₹ 9.99 lakh in my opinion, and the car should top off at a maximum ₹ 17 lakh. But expect pricing to mirror the Kushaq's. That means ₹ 10.5 - 16 lakh for the 1.0, and between ₹ 16 and 18 lakh for the two cars we have showed you today. ➡️The Taigun launches in mid-September, and that's when the actual prices will be out.
