Maruti Dzire vs Honda Amaze comparison

In the age of SUVs, the fourth-gen Maruti Dzire and the third-gen Honda Amaze must be celebrated. We tell you where to put your money.

New BMW X3 review

The fourth-generation X3 not only looks good but is also feature-packed. It trades some of its sportiness for comfort, but that’s not a bad thing!

Porsche Macan Electric review

Porsche’s bestselling SUV, the Macan, has gone electric-only. Is it as exciting as its predecessor when chucked around a bunch of twisties? We find out.

New Skoda Octavia RS review

Car enthusiasts, rejoice! Skoda is bringing the facelifted fourth-gen Octavia RS to India. We drove it on the road and a racetrack, and, to our delight, it’s still the talented, sporty, all-rounder family car.

New Audi Q5 review

In a time of big bets and radical moves, the new Audi Q5’s evolution-before-revolution approach is possibly the best. The sporty SQ5 could also be launched in India.

KTM 390 Adventure review

A brand-new platform bestows the 390 Adventure with greater capabilities. It’s what we wanted the first-gen bike to be.
