Can the Chetak 3501’s 153 km range be enough for urban Indian riders or is it still short of the mark?
14 January 2025 10:51
To me it feels like it hits the sweet spot. A larger battery would translate into more range and weight, a higher cost, and more weight. 153 km is practical for most users without overengineering the scooter.
How did the Bajaj Chetak impact Indian culture and the Indian society?
14 January 2025 09:20
For many middle class homes, it was the first 'family vehicle'. My whole family of four remember us squeezed on our Chetak!
The Triumph Scrambler 400X has been the only scrambler in the country for a while now, and the Royal Enfield Scrambler 650 has now joined the fray, but how will it fare in the Indian market?
13 January 2025 09:12
RE's going to surprise everyone with some high end features to match Triumph.
Can the BE 6’s Auto Park Assist feature actually be of use in Indian parking situations?
09 January 2025 11:10
The thing I worry about is people relying on it too much. What happens when it doesn’t detect a small obstacle such as a rock or a steep curb? In fact, it could actually create more problems than it solves.
Would the Standard Herald be successful if it is relaunched today in the Indian market?
07 January 2025 09:55
It would need a strong USP, apart from just nostalgia. Maybe you could position it as the ultimate city car – with that famous tight turning radius?
How does the MG Hector Plus fare on Indian roads when compared to its rivals?
07 January 2025 09:30
It's a mixed bag. Straight roads they are comfortable on but they are not the most confidence inspiring in tight turns or hilly areas.
Is the MG Comet roadworthy for Indian roads?
07 January 2025 08:04
Initially I was worried about safety, but after driving it I'm pretty secure. It’s a solid feeling car, and the safety features are impressive for its size. And it's nimble enough to avoid accidents.
Is MG Comet EV actually a practical car for Indian cities?
07 January 2025 08:04
Practical? Of course, if you’re single and only drive within the city, maybe. It's way too limited for a family or anyone who has to be out of town occasionally. With a normal hatchback that can do it all, you are better off.
The first question is will the 1.0 TSI engine of the Skoda Kylaq be enough for Indian driving conditions or will the buyers miss a more powerful option.
07 January 2025 05:29
In fact, I like the 1.0 TSI better. Driving a slow car fast is more fun than driving a fast car slow, and the Kylaq with this engine is plenty zippy for most situations.
On Indian roads, how does the Kushaq ride quality compare to its competitors?
07 January 2025 05:16
The ride is fine, but I would have liked for Skoda to have tuned it a bit softer for India. It's sometimes like they just copied the European setup without taking our roads into account.
Is the Tata Magic IRIS culturally significant in terms of Indian automotive engineering?
06 January 2025 12:26
That's significant because it solves a problem that's uniquely Indian. Its looks aren't what makes it culturally important, but that.
Can the Tata Magic IRIS be a practical solution to last mile connectivity in Indian cities?
06 January 2025 12:26
It's a mixed bag. It’s great for rural areas, but cities will have to deal with more traffic chaos. We don't need more vehicles; we need better urban planning.
Is the ground clearance of the Kia Syros a deal breaker on Indian roads?
06 January 2025 07:32
I believe it's more about the idea of safety and ruggedness that goes with having higher ground clearance. If it's too low, even though practically it's sufficient, Kia might have a hard time selling it.
But does Sonet Anniversary Edition's styling really set it apart on Indian roads?
06 January 2025 07:17
I have to say, I've seen regular Sonets with some aftermarket mods that look more distinctive. Indian tastes are too subtle for the Anniversary Edition.
The Kia Seltos is a compact SUV, but how does it ride compared to other compact SUVs on Indian roads?
03 January 2025 12:18
I’ve taken my Seltos on some pretty rough roads and it’s held up well. It has a good enough ground clearance and doesn’t bottom out easily. You do definitely feel the bumps more than in some other SUVs, but yeah.
Is the Kia Clavis's reported panoramic sunroof a feature that will actually be used or just a gimmick for the Indian market?
03 January 2025 11:49
The real question is, how much is it gonna add to the cost? Of course, if it bumps up the price too much, it may not be worth it for many buyers.
Will Kia Clavis's ADAS features actually be useful on Indian roads?
03 January 2025 11:49
It’s good to see ADAS in more affordable cars like the Clavis. It will not be perfect, but it will help normalize the technology and over time lead to improvements.
Is the Verna's ADAS system actually useful in the Indian driving conditions?
03 January 2025 07:34
To me, ADAS in India is just a gimmick. These systems can’t work reliably because our roads are too unpredictable. And I'd rather pay less and have a car without it.
In Indian driving conditions, is the Verna's ADAS system actually useful?
03 January 2025 07:24
Initially I was skeptical, but the automatic emergency braking has caught me out a couple of times where it has frustratedly stamped on the brakes to stop me hitting the suddenly stopped vehicle in front.
Comparing the Hyundai Venue’s ride quality with other rivals on rough Indian roads is how the ride quality of the Hyundai Venue compares to other rivals, especially on rough Indian roads.
03 January 2025 06:57
It's all about perspective. And if you are coming from a Maruti, you will feel great. It is a little lacking if you are used to higher end cars. At the price point, I think it's pretty good, not class leading, but certainly competitive.
