The TVS Apache RR 310 impressed us with its looks and its performance on the racetrack. But how does it fare when it took to city streets? We have the answers for you.
The sub 4-metre subcompact SUV segment is one of the most popular and most aspirational automotive segments in the country. Maruti Suzuki consistently sells over 10,000 units of the Vitara Brezza every month and the Ecosport single handedly helped recover Ford India's lull a few years ago. Mahindra has four SUVs in this segment too - the TUV 300, the Bolero Power+, the KUV 100 and the NuvoSport. So it was only obvious that sooner or later, any automaker who wants to be a real volume player in the Indian market needs to have a model present in this segment. Tata Motors first showcased a concept sompact SUV called the Nexon at the 2014 Indian Auto Expo. While most of us expected the production SUV to be watered down or 'paani-kum-chai' version of the concept, the Indian automaker has surprised us by launching the Nexon subcompact SUV that is very close to the concept's original look and design. And the last time that happened was when Jaguar launched the F-Pace! So read on to know more about the brand new 2017 Tata Nexon!
We spend some time with the Yamaha FZ25 and its closest rival, the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V. The Apache 200 has a slightly smaller engine, but both bikes are evenly matched in terms of performance, and sit more or less in the same price bracket.
the Tiago went on to win the 2017 NDTV Hatchback of the Year Award too. The only thing it missed was an automatic gearbox. And now, Tata Motors has launched a new variant of the Tiago which gets an AMT option. Under the hood is a 1.2-litre three cylinder unit that also does duty in the standard manual gearbox equipped car. You get 84 bhp of peak power and 114 Nm of peak torque. The gearbox essentially stays the same, a 5-speed unit on which is mounted the AMT shifter module. The module is mated to a traditional shifter lever, which replaces the manual shifter in the cabin. Just like the unit on the Nano and the Zest, the Tiago also gets an AMT unit with a drive, neutral and reverse mode and a manual mode that allows the driver to shift up or down. The Tiago AMT also gets a sports mode to compliment the AMT unit.
We spend some time with two new performance roadsters - the Triumph Street Triple S, and the Kawasaki Z900. Both are nakeds, both promise a lot of performance, and more than enough bang for your buck. We try to decide which one to choose
The new Kawasaki Z900 gets a new engine, new chassis and sheds a lot of weight than the bike it replaces - the Z800. It's an all-new model for 2017, but is it good enough? We spend some time with the new Z900.
The new Triumph Street Triple S gets more power, more torque, standard ABS, traction control and riding modes. We spend some time with the feisty and fun Striple, and come back very satisfied
The VW Tiguan review is something we were waiting to share with you and it is finally here. The second-generation Tiguan is the latest product from Volkswagen India and we got to spend a few hours driving this new SUV and here is our first impression of the same.
