Bauma Conexpo India 2016

Major participation from global companies.

Touch of Class

They say one needs to strike when the iron is hot. The Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) segment in the country is currently growing the fastest in the passenger car market and like all car makers Hyundai too is stepping up its act. They already have a Creta in the SUV space which has become a big hit among Indians.

Licensed to Thrill

I was handed over the keys to a Fiat Linea 125-S on a rather quiet Wednesday afternoon. At the time, I never fathomed that a quaint looking sedan could change what seemed to be an extremely long day into an incredibly thrilling one.

Screaming Horses - Ford Mustang GT

First Impressions on the Race Track.

Sporty Jag

Come to think of it, every person who feels he or she has arrived in life wants to own at least a few up market products, be it Gucci shoes, Rolex watches, Montblanc pens, Roberto Cavalli clothes or Moschino luggage.

Fire Cracker

“The build quality of the RENEGADE SPORT S is also quite good, the ride feels solid and the overall quality of materials used is more than satisfactory.”

Lamborghini Unveils Huracán Performante Spyder

Automobili Lamborghini unveiled the Lamborghini Huracán Performante Spyder at the Geneva Motor Show. With its 5.2 l V10 naturally-aspirated engine, the permanent four-wheel drive Performante Spyder accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.1 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 9.3 seconds, and with a top speed of 325 km/h matches its coupé stablemate. Braking from 100-0 km/h is mastered in 31.5 m.

Pace & Panache

In the land of ‘yeh dil mange more’ it is never a bad idea to add more to what is already being offered and the Italian motorcycle maker Aprilia has learned that quickly. Their first crossover scooter in India, the SR 150 was warmly received due to its unparalleled performance and cutting edge looks. But then I guess someone somewhere said that they don’t just want their SR 150 to go fast but also scream that it does so. Thus we got the new SR 150 Race, donning the RS-GP inspired graphics.

Go Devil, Go...

Tribute to the Jeep.

Like No Other

While most car manufacturers stick to the safe zone when it comes to designs, Lexus seems to have chosen a very radical path when it comes to styling of their vehicles. A case in point is the new Lexus NX 300h.

Standing Tall

To “stand tall” means to behave in a brave, proud, or unyielding manner. The new Volvo XC60 exhibits precisely those attributes; it’s a brave product taking on the German flotilla of SUVs, it’s proud of its Scandinavian origin and it is uncompromising when it comes to safety, driveability and comfort. We check out the car to make sure we are right in our views. Volvo Auto India is bringing in the new Volvo XC 60 in one and only one variant --- the D5 Inscription model.

Audacious A4

They say the only thing better than a German sedan is another German sedan and that has become an endless battle between these stalwarts.

Bigger & Bolder

Cars, cameras, micro chips and miniskirts, all of them have one thing in common!

Torq Of The Town

The NTorq 125 does strike a very pleasing balance between sporty performance and providing a comfortable commute for your daily journeys.

Starry Eyed

The 162.71cc engine on the X Blade is shared with the Unicorn and the Hornet. So naturally the engine is well tuned for city riding and it feels very refined. The bike feels very quick and that has been helped by the relatively less kerb weight of 140ks.

Chic & Slick

Mahindra & Mahindra is known for its rugged utility vehicles. The company, however, is beginning to understand the language of sophistication and comfort and seems to have mastered it with the Plush New XUV5OO.

Fun Boost

The new Ford EcoSport S also gets black roof rails and a black painted roof with an electric sun roof which the company has christened as “fun roof”.

Power Play

The Mercedes AMG E63 S 4MATIC + is surely a very spirited car that can set ablaze the tracks of a racing circuit, yet behave its way through the mundane traffic of daily life.

BHUTAN: Mojo Spot On!

Up in the mountains of Bhutan, there comes a time, ever so frequently, when heavy mist comes rolling in and blocks everything from view. So Akielie and I pull over under an overhanging rock, take off our helmets, gloves and boots.

Endearing Species

British motorcycle manufacturer Triumph’s Tiger range of motorcycles has gained an iconic status in a rather short while. They are recognised the world around for being rugged, reliable and being able to tackle all kinds of paths without feeling crude, when on highways.

Hearty Homecoming

It was in 1972 that Honda had globally launched the Civic and since then it has sold more than 25 million units in more than 170 countries. It has been sold as a sedan, a coupe and a hatch worldwide.

Radiant Resolve

Not too far from the world of fast bikes is one that is full of humble and sensible commuters.

Ford Figo Facelift - Rising To New Heights

My recent outing was nothing short of a blue safari. I was in Jodhpur which is known as the ‘blue city’ and I was there to drive the new Ford Figo which comes in a new trim called ‘Titanium Blu’. Ford’s successful hatch has returned with a few updates, additions and a new price tag. But do these changes sum up to a worthy car?
