The first play from the market leader in the highly competitive compact SUV space. The Grand Vitara drives in with mild and strong hybrid options, and has the choice of manual, auto and even an all-wheel drive. Siddharth has tested all of them in this review.
Less than a month after revealing 5 SUVs that will be launched over the next 4 years as part of its born electric strategy, Mahindra has unveiled the XUV400 electric SUV which is based on the XUV300 subcompact SUV. We drive the car at the brand’s SUV Proving track on the outskirts of Chennai.

Both the Skoda Slavia and Volkswagen Virtus add a breath of fresh air to the highly competitive compact sedan segment that has been dominated by Honda City for over two decades.

The northern region has been the largest market for Audi in India and Gurugram has been the integral part of it going by the prominence of the 'four-ring' badge in the city.

But Audi India has now resumed operations in Gurugram and has given the franchise to new dealers- Kristan Auto who will be retailing Audi cars in Gurugram and will be taking care of the aftersales service for Audi now onwards.
Hyundai will be launching the updated version of the i20 as well. We've caught the facelifted i20 testing for a while now and the price of the car will be announced at the Auto Expo 2018.
