We have driven the new Tiago CNG AMT. How is it to drive? We find out.

This is the Magnite's second stint here at the CarWale long-term garage. Previously, we had the CVT version of the car throughout 2021 and put over 15,000km on it.

It has been nearly six months since the zippy Hyundai Grand i10 Nios joined CarWale's long-term fleet.

The way things are being planned, the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R Flex-fuel (FF) is set to become India's first mass-segment flex-fuel car. It's one of the answers to the never-ending quest for alternative fuels for cars. The Wagon R FF is designed to run on any ethanol-petrol blend and will eventually help reduce tailpipe emissions. It also goes without saying it will comply with the upcoming and more stringent BS6 phase-II emission norms. The prototype exhibited at Maruti's pavilion at the 2023 Auto Expo looked exactly the same as the standard Wagon R on sale in India, save for the fluorescent badging. We believe the 'Flex-Fuel' branding on the side will be mellowed down in the production avatar. However, the bright green embellishments may be retained to display its green, environment-friendly avatar.
