Volvo XC40 mild-hybrid First Drive Review

By Jay Shah1 year ago

Volvo XC40 mild-hybrid First Drive Review

Mercedes GLA 220d 4MATIC First Drive Review

By Ninad Ambre2 years ago

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!
