Honda Elevate review

Honda nailed it with the pricing! Finally! This car is value for money considering other manufacturers! Buying experience: should be good Looks and performance: looks high class, looks like its global models abroad. Performance for a natural aspirated model is quite good. Mileage is good too. Pros: looks, build quality, engine, price Cons: few features like ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof is missing.

MG Astor 1.3 Turbo AT Road Test

By Ninad Ambre31 Mar 2022

The MG Astor is slotted in the heavily competitive C-segment of SUVs dominated by the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and the likes. Yet, this petrol-powered avatar of the ZS EV is said to have ample differentiating factors from its rivals. MG also expects significant volumes from this petrol-only SUV. But, is it that competitive enough? To find out, we put its top-spec 1.3-litre turbo petrol version mated to a six-speed automatic through our extensive road test cycle regime.
