Volkswagen Vento TDI DSG AT

By Desirazu Venkat02 Feb 2015

Value addition. It’s the new mantra that manufacturers have embraced in the spirit of competitiveness, and it looks like there are plenty of offers for the consumers to make their choices from. A common practice in today’s market is to offer ‘benefits’ (extra features and cosmetic upgrades both in the cabin and for the body ) that then make a car stand out in the segment.

A new face

By Vikrant Singh03 Nov 2011

Skoda in India can do better; much better in fact. After all, its sister company, Volkswagen came to the Indian party much later, but has managed to gain more flavour already. Skoda believes, one car could set all this right and that is the Rapid.
