New Audi A4 sedan seen undisguised

These are the first-ever undisguised spy shots of the next-generation Audi A4 sedan. This pre-production test-mule was see doing rounds in Turkey.

From the photos, one can easily make out that the new A4 will be almost a size bigger than the current car which it replaces. This is possibly due to the addition of the new A3 sedan to the line-up. The next A4’s direct rival, the new Mercedes C-Class has also grown in size in its latest avatar in order to accommodate the new CLA sedan in its global line-up.

The next-gen Audi A4 test mule clearly shows its all-new angular tail-lamp design which mimics the styling seen first on the A3 which is also sold in our market. Another point to notice is the dual-exhaust system neatly integrated into the rear bumper. The new Audi A4 sedan is expected to be based on Volkswagen Group's flexible MLB architecture which will also underpin many other offerings within the group. Expect Audi to load the next A4 sedan with newer fuel-efficient engines on some models and also features such as the Matrix LED lighting tech for atleast the top-spec models

Expect Audi to unveil the next-generation A4 sedan at an international motor show this year.

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...

ABS brakes mandatory for two-wheelers soon

The Government Of India is paying some attention to road safety issues in the country. Keeping road safety in mind, the GOI is working on making the anti-lock braking system mandatory for all two-wheelers above the engine capacity of 125cc. This is a big step forward in the right direction, as over 70 percent of accidents that take place in India involve two-wheelers. Nitin Gadkari, Road Transport Minister has just recently approved this proposal, and is working on implementing it. Gadkari, who was recently present at the Bloomberg TV Autocar India Awards 2015 also talked about his plans of building safer roads for India. This is absolutely necessary, keeping in mind that as per data collected in 2013, 39,353 people were killed on Indian roads while riding two-wheelers. While the time frame for the Indian government to enforce this law remains undecided, sources say that safer roads for India aren't too far away.
