FIND THE RIGHT CAR

“Is it the Night Fury?” asked my nephew when I showed him the picture of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe you see here. ‘No, that’d be the Black Shadow edition of it’.

It puts a question of ‘too little, too late' or ‘better late than never’ as Ford has introduced an automatic version for the Figo in the 1.2-litre petrol engine. This is a torque converter, and in all respect, looks like a downgrade from the previous petrol-automatic combo Ford used to offer. But is it?

The second-generation of the Mahindra Thar is now available in India. This cult off-roader is now more versatile and is offered in a choice of BS6-compliant petrol and diesel powertrains. These come mated to either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. We earlier tested the diesel manual to give you the real-world fuel economy figures, and now we have put the diesel automatic under our V-Box tests and fuel efficiency test regime.

New Mahindra Bolero Neo tested and reviewed.

The previous-gen GLA had received some flak for its low slung back coupe-like styling, but now the new-gen corrects all that with its more upright stance and bigger proportions, and as a result has more space inside than before. Needless to say, the interior quality is luxurious and is now more attractive with HD screens and new tech. This diesel engine is not only frugal but packs in a sprightly performance for an SUV that's fun to drive. Though this top-of-the-line 4MATIC trim priced at Rs 57.89 lakh on-road makes it expensive than its rivals, it's a package that can convince you to shell out that extra premium!
