Three engine, two gearbox options for Hyundai Creta

                     Hyundai entered the small SUV market with the launch of the Creta in July 2015. In just one year, the small SUV recorded sales of over one lakh units, and also saw a waiting period of up to 10 months.

To mark its first anniversary, Hyundai rolled out a limited-run First Anniversary Edition of the small SUV as well. The automaker also rolled out newer variants of the Creta including a petrol automatic and a more affordable diesel automatic to further bolster its position as one of the best selling SUVs in the country.

The Creta is available with a choice of one petrol and two diesel engines. The petrol motor on offer is a 123hp 1.6-litre unit. Of the two diesel motor on offer, the first is the 90hp 1.4-litre unit also found in smaller Hyundais like the i20. The second diesel is a significantly more powerful 128hp 1.6-litre unit. A six-speed manual gearbox is offered as standard though the petrol and more powerful diesel engine also get the option of a six-speed automatic unit.

The automaker has also focused on safety with dual airbags and ABS offered as standard, and the top trim additionally getting side and curtain airbags. Available in seven variants, the top-trim Creta gets equipment such as ESC, parking sensors and camera, diamond-cut alloy wheels, leather upholstery, key-less entry and go, and a 7.0-inch Audio/Video/Navigation system that is also available on select lower variants.

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 ...

Rolls Royce Cullinan SUV in the works

Rolls Royce has released the first pictures of its Cullinan SUV prototype. The company has said that only the length of the prototype gives clues about the production. The entire car is an engineering mock-up to test the new all-wheel drive transmission and suspension. The prototype, based on a shortened Phantom II, is set for road testing from the second week of April. The company has said that it would “assist Rolls Royce engineers in developing a final suspension system that will deliver the brand's hallmark 'magic carpet' ride not only on the road, but off-road too”. Rolls Royce CEO Torsten Muller-Ötvös had, some time back, confirmed to our sister publication Autocar UK, that the company was developing an all-new four-wheel drive high-bodied Rolls Royce. He had, however, avoided using the word ‘SUV’. The new Rolls Royce is expected to shatter existing price and size ceilings for a SUV, but as per the brand's design boss Giles Taylor, the SUV will be po...

Honda City facelift India launch on February 14

                       Honda will launch the refreshed City sedan in the Indian market on February 14, 2017. The carmaker has started accepting bookings for the updated sedan with the booking amount set at Rs 21,000.  The Honda City had long been the best seller in the segment, though in recent months the Maruti Ciaz has risen to the challenge, outselling the City in certain months last year. And with rivals such as Skoda having recently given the Rapid a facelift, and Volkswagen’s near constant updates to the Vento, Honda looks to refresh interest in the City with a facelifted model. Here’s what you can expect from the updated Honda City in India. 1. It sports cosmetic changes: The updated City’s front now gets a Civic-like nose and chin, along with a chrome band running across the grille and spilling over the headlights on both sides. The headlights' shape has been mildly tweaked and now houses LED daytime runn...
