Mouthwatering discounts on last year's cars

While buyers flocked to the showrooms right as 2014 ended, owing to the government's non-extension of the excise duty sops, dealers are still not rid of last year's stocks and have some of these models on offer with handsome discounts and benefits. But bear in mind that these discounts are not on offer from the manufacturers; only a few dealers have stocks and not all of them are offering benefits. Also, since the number of units are limited, you may be hard-pressed to find the variant or paint shade of your choice.

Therefore, a lot depends on whether you are able to find such a dealer, and if you negotiate well enough. Some of the cars on this list are also being offered with free insurance, but that amount is obviously variable from car to car, and variant to variant.

Skoda
A couple of dealers have stocks of the Rapid sedan from last year and are offering discounts of up to Rs 70,000. But only the diesel Ambition variant in either white or silver paint shade is in stock.

Ford
Dealers are offering discounts on the Figo, Classic and the petrol Fiesta. While the Figo is available with discounts of up to Rs 35,000, the Classic and the petrol Fiesta are on offer with discounts ranging from Rs 25,000 to Rs 60,000.

Fiat
We came across dealers who are offering benefits of up to Rs 50,000 on the Linea Classic, and up to Rs 40,000 on the Linea T-Jet. That’s not all; some dealers are even offering discounts of up to Rs 1 lakh on the Punto, while the Punto Evo is available with a discount of Rs 25,000.

Mahindra
Mahindra dealers who have leftover stock from 2014, are offering benefits ranging from Rs 20,000 to Rs 40,000 on both the Scorpio and the Quanto. The Xylo is also being offered with discounts of up to Rs 45,000, while the Verito and Verito Vibe are both being sold with benefits of up to Rs 30,000.

Hyundai
Some Hyundai dealers are offering discounts ranging from Rs 15,000 to Rs 35,000 on the Eon, but the colour options are pretty limited. Benefits of up to Rs 40,000 are also being offered on the i10 and the Verna.

Volkswagen
The diesel Cross Polo is being offered by VW dealers with benefits of up to Rs 35,000, while some variants of the Polo and the Vento are also on offer with benefits of up to Rs 25,000.

Maruti
Other than the Ciaz, almost every other model is being offered with some benefits by a number of dealers. Although not too much, discounts are ranging from Rs 10,000 to Rs 50,000. The Ritz is the one which is being offered with most benefits from most dealers.

Nissan
You can avail discounts ranging from Rs 20,000 to Rs 40,000 on both the Sunny and Micra. Some of you might even be able to get benefits up to Rs 35,000 on the Terrano. Budget brand Datsun's Go hatchback is also on offer with discounts of up to Rs 25,000.

Renault
Apart from the Duster, most of the Renault models are being offered with discounts in the range of Rs 15,000 to Rs 45,000. Some dealers are also offering a hefty discount on the Pulse.

Chevrolet
Some dealers are offering handsome discounts on Chevy models. Be it the Spark, Beat, Sail or the Cruze, discounts range from Rs 25,000 to Rs 60,000.

2018 Lamborghini Urus India review, test drive

             On first introduction, it’s a recipe for intimidation. It’s claimed to be the fastest SUV in the world (0-100kph in 3.6sec and a top speed of 305kph puts it nearly in supercar territory), and it’s made by Lamborghini – creator of some of the most savage vehicles on the market. Things – as with any Lamborghini, for that matter – would be a lot less daunting if we were driving on a smooth European country road, a wide motorway, or even a race track. But today we’re driving the Urus on a narrow  ghat  road, as well as through some heavy Pune traffic. Perhaps the intention was to demonstrate that this is the first Lamborghini ever to go on sale in India that truly works in our conditions – but still, I doubt they accounted for rush hour. It’s requisitely mad to look at, employing as many ‘sporty’ design tropes to an SUV body style as possible – the only thing missing is a massive wing on the back; and somehow, it works. It’s ...

Honda CB Unicorn 160 vs Suzuki Gixxer comparison

There is no replacement for displacement, as goes the old American saying, with which the rest of the world often nods in agreement. Increase in the number of cubic centimeters of fuel that our engines burn, seems only to be a pleasant idea to almost every petrolhead. More power, more torque and a healthier sounding grunt from the exhaust are the common expectations from larger engines. Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) has walked this same path, to add 10 extra cubic centimeters of capacity to the now proven CB Unicorn engine, to make the Honda CB Unicorn 160. FROLIC FASHION Although some of the features of the older CB Unicorn have been bettered, we’ve gone ahead and pitched it right in at the deep end, to face off against the very best in the segment to find out the exact degree to which this motorcycle has improved. So, in steps the Suzuki Gixxer, a Japanese-made premium commuter that’s fast rising to the top of its segment, with enough promise to overshadow all o...

Land Rover Discovery Sport review

Two things. To start with, it’s Land Rover’s replacement for the popular and capable Freelander. It’s also the first of the models from Land Rover’s new Discovery sub-brand, one that will focus on utility in the same vein as the Range Rover line is about luxury. The Discovery Sport was shown as a concept last year and the production version’s styling doesn’t stray too far from the prototype. It’s smart, well proportioned and interesting but doesn’t have the show value of something like an Evoque. Still, there’s a certain honesty to the chunky shape which, if you think about it, more than links the Sport to the Freelander. The Sport is 91mm longer than its predecessor and also sits on a wheelbase that’s grown by 80mm. These increments, and the incorporation of a compact multi-link rear suspension, have allowed Land Rover to fit in a third row of seats, giving the Sport a big advantage over its five-seat competitors – the Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Volvo XC60. But Land Rover is being cau...
