New cars and SUVs for 2020
We’ve listed out every new car and SUV set to be launched in India in 2020, and there are well over 60 names on this list!
Maruti Suzuki S-Presso
Is Maruti’s new S-Presso ‘mini-SUV’ a shot in the dark or does it have a lasting effect like its namesake?
Renault Kwid facelift
The Renault Kwid has got its first major update, and there’s plenty to talk about.
Skoda Kodiaq Scout
The 7-seat Skoda Kodiaq receives a dose of added ‘SUV’ with a new ‘Off-road’ mode, underbody protection and some styling tweaks.
Hyundai Elantra facelift
With a rather exhaustive update, the Hyundai Elantra is set to take the fight to the Honda Civic, Skoda Octavia and Toyota Corolla Altis.
Porsche Taycan
Porsche’s first full-electric sportscar, the four-door Taycan, is tasked with crossing nine countries. We join the bandwagon on the last leg to ‘charge’ to the finish.
Ferrari F8 Tributo
A replacement, a tribute and perhaps the last of its kind – we head to Maranello to drive the F8 Tributo.
Porsche Cayenne Turbo Coupe
Though it’s not the first of its kind, the Porsche Cayenne Coupe certainly seems to justify its existence with its incredible driving dynamics.
BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe
The new BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe has to deliver stunning looks, sportscar-like performance and a dose of practicality. We find out if it does.
Hyundai Grand i10 Nios vs Maruti Suzuki Swift vs Ford Figo
The Hyundai Grand i10 Nios takes small but significant steps to move the game forward in this class. We pit it against two of its fiercest rivals.
KTM 790 Duke
We’ve had our first taste of KTM’s first ‘big’ bike for India, and it has certainly lived up to the hype.
2020 Triumph Street Triple RS
Armed with an update for 2020, the Triumph Street Triple RS now gets a Euro-5 engine with improved mid-range punch.
Hero MotoCorp Xtreme 200S vs Suzuki Gixxer SF
The Hero Xtreme 200S and Suzuki Gixxer SF are two of the most affordable faired bikes you can buy. We tell you which is the one to pick.
