Long Term Reports

The biggest question mark in EV ownership is range anxiety – an issue that simply isn’t a concern with the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV.

Both these “mods” should provide a great deal of peace of mind and ensure that the BMW M2 looks and feels brand new, hopefully, for a long time to come.

Not everyone is an enthusiast and neither does everyone dig deep in spec sheets to find out whether the engine has a turbocharger or not. They just care about value for money, which the Swift definitely is.

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.

Sure, the ride of the Maruti Suzuki Invicto can be a bit firm for some, but to be honest, I much prefer it over the Innova Crysta.

My first real opportunity to test the Mahindra Thar Roxx’s on-road and off-road prowess came on a trip to Tehri Garhwal and Harsil, Uttarakhand.

The Kia Sonet’s 1.5 diesel AT is a peach over long distances. It returned a spectacular 15km/l on an approximately 500km road trip to the hills in mixed driving conditions.

The 2.0-litre diesel mill has oodles of torque for daily and highway driving, and paired with a smooth-shifting torque converter, it makes for an effortless drive.

Personally, I can think of nothing better than an BMW six-cylinder motor, paired to a manual gearbox, sending power the rear wheels.

We all know that Maruti Suzuki cars tend to deliver great efficiency figures but that has not been the case with the Dzire thus far.
