Motown India - August 2018

In the August 2018 issue of Motown India, we have a non-polluting product on the cover. The Firefox Surfelo bicycle comes with 10 gears. We have also reviewed a battery operated cycle - Hero Lectro EZephyr. We have also reviewed the 2018 Honda Jazz and Suzuki Burgman Street. There is also plenty of news from the automotive world that we have covered in this issue. These include Harley-Davidson’s plans to get into the 250-500cc motorcycle segment in India, Mahindra’s new MPV being christened ‘Marazzo’ (the word in Basque language means “shark”), launch of the Mahindra Furio range of trucks, Bloomberg report on electric vehicles and a visit to the Hyundai Motor India plant, among others.

Fine Tuned

This new update of the Jazz adds a few extra notes to an already jazzy tune. The touchscreen infotainment system with navigation is perhaps the best of the new additions and the armrest is also appreciated. The move to make dual airbags, ABS and EBD standard, enhances the safety factor. By no means is the Jazz a bad pick.
