The Renault Kiger CVT has been my ride to work for a year. It replaced the Kiger Turbo MT in our fleet, which I used in the last few months of its tenure with us. Of the two, I enjoyed the CVT more, thanks to its relative effortlessness. The long-term cars that I take home are mostly hatchbacks due to tight parking spots in my locality, and the Kiger, with its sub-four-metre footprint, is one of the

You might not realise it, but there are plenty of Geely products already on the road in Australia… but none of them until this one will have worn the actual Geely brand name on them.

If the BYD Sealion 6 is a bit too normal for your liking, and you’d prefer a mid-sized SUV that’s a little sportier and has an all-electric powertrain rather than a plug-in hybrid, then the Sealion 7 should be on your wish list.

BHPian vigsom recently shared this with other enthusiasts: Introduction I'd left you with Part-1 of my review of the All-New Nissan Patrol (Y63) . Challenges in compiling Part-2 Phew!

If there’s one thing our otherwise very accommodating photo and video crew insist on, it’s an early morning start. The golden hour of soft light at sunrise guarantees beautiful captures.   But today, it’s me leading the pre-dawn charge to our shoot location an hour outside Mumbai for a less noble, more selfish reason. There’s a Lotus Emira waiting on the other side of the journey, and I’m itching to drive it. Drive it hard.

Made a big mistake today! My Volkswagen Taigun GT+ was due for 45k service, and I booked a service with pick up at Kun Volkswagen Madras South, OMR, instead of my go to guys - Sundaram Volkswagen.
