We recently had the chance to get behind the wheel of a pre-production model at a press event held in Korea at Hyundai Motor's Namyang R&D facility. The car is really compact, and yet - just as we have seen on its debut stage - even in real world conditions its proportions scream SUV.
The latest from Wolfsburg is the Volkswagen T-Cross. We test it in sunny Spain and find a competent, well-designed compact SUV. This will be the MQB A0 platform SUV that has been talked about aplenty in VW and Skoda's big plan for India. Expect it to hit the market only next year. We have driven the petrol and diesel models.
Audi's 'most important launch of the year' as a spokesman called it, was carefully choreographed: in 2015, the brand launched a concept car, followed by a Sportback derivative; over the year 2018, Audi organised ride-alongs and drives at various stages of development, and now we got to drive the series production version of the fully electric Audi e-tron.
The very popular Honda CR-V returns in its 5th generation. The car is bigger and better, as our first drive tells you. The India launch is expected in the festive season, and for the first time, Honda will offer a diesel option on the CR-V that drives in with a three-row, 7-seater avatar
Qoros is a joint venture between Chery and an Israeli investor that was launched in 2013 with a series of European developed and designed, locally built cars.
Now even though they may not be relevant for India, they're still definitely key from a global automotive market perspective.
The brand's image is virtually defined by this model, and the RX is the brand's most successful hybrid to date.
It's called the Atlas like the titan from Greek mythology that carries the heavens on his shoulders. The Atlas will also be sold in China and a few other export markets. The big question we care about is whether the Atlas will eventually make its way to India or not?
MINI touts its all-new second generation Countryman as such bigger is better. So is it? A curious premise for a brand named after its first, ultra-small model. Yet the Countryman resonates with the customer base especially in Europe not least because it managed to preserve the look of the original MINI, which is seen as "cute".
The camouflage could fool you, but the next-generation Porsche Panamera is totally new - and on a mission. While the previous model was a standalone car, this one will be the technical basis for a number of upcoming Volkswagen Group upper-premium vehicles.
The classic battle in the segment of the executive sedan has entered the next stage: Mercedes-Benz is launching a brand-new E-Class - preceding the next Audi A6 and BMW 5-series by just about one year.
It's been pronounced dead several times, but the G-Wagen by Mercedes-Benz is more alive than ever. At the mature age of 36, it gets yet another refresh - a relatively minor one, as you wouldn't "modify a Rembrandt painting,"
The latest from Munich - that's where the Oxford/UK-built vehicles are designed these days - is the second-generation Clubman - and that is what will be launched in India later in 2016.
The Geneva auto show is probably the most glamorous of all auto shows. This year's show, however, was overshadowed by the diesel scandal triggered by an ongoing feud between the North American EPA and Volkswagen. Electrification became a more universal topic than in past years. Here is our strictly subjective list of the Five Best and the Five Worst trends and vehicles at this year's show.
The new 5th generation Audi A4 was shown at the 2016 Auto Expo, and is a car that will drive into India in the second half of the year.
Is this car too good? When VW launched its first-generation Passat, it marked the departure from the Beetle and its derivatives - and ushered in the era of front-wheel-drive cars.
