After nearly 1,000km behind the wheel this past month, I can confidently say that the new Maruti Suzuki Dzire is just about everything you need for daily city commutes.

While great mileage arguably goes a long way in making a car good for the city, I would say that it’s not enough to make it great.

A quick calculation with the indicated mileage times the 37-litre fuel tank means a range of over 700km per tank in the city!

The biggest strong point of the Maruti Suzuki Swift is just how well it does the bare basics of what makes a car memorable.

Like many of you reading this, I have my own personal connection to the Maruti Suzuki Swift. It’s a car that’s woven into my daily life.

autoX Awards 2024: The new-gen Maruti Suzuki Swift simply nails the driving aspect, offering so much feedback to the driver that you’re always aware of exactly what the car is doing. This level of driver engagement is the magic ingredient that makes it all come together.

autoX Awards 2024: With India’s 400cc segment becoming increasingly competitive, the Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 still manages to stand out. It doesn’t even feel like it is competing in the same space – in fact, it seems to be in a league of its own, with a unique character.

autoX Awards 2024: The new Yamaha R3's riding position strikes a balance between the highly committed stance of the baby Aprilia and the more relaxed, sport-touring posture of a bike like the Ninja 500.

autoX Awards 2024: The BSA Gold Star 650 aims to capture a style of motorcycling that’s deceptively simple yet notoriously hard to perfect—the retro.

autoX Awards 2024: The Yamaha MT-03’s 321cc liquid-cooled twin-cylinder engine, which is also found in the R3, gives it a strong starting point. Power delivery is smooth, with plenty of torque lower in the rev range.

autoX Awards 2024: The new-generation 5 Series marks a shift in BMW’s approach. Arguably, it places as much – if not more – importance on rear seat comfort, which comes at a slight compromise in terms of driving.

autoX Awards 2024: While it may not stand out in any single area, the Toyota Taisor impressively outscored more surprising rivals by performing well across multiple categories. Its standout strengths are its driving dynamics and practicality. The Taisor’s chassis and suspension feel remarkably well-tuned, making it feel like it’s in a class of its own.
