For 2016, we brought you the latest reviews of cars driven in India and outside. From the likes of the all-new Tata Tiago to the hot Maruti Vitara Brezza, the new Toyota Innova Crysta on home soil, to travelling overseas to bring you our driving impressions of cars like the upcoming Renault Kaptur SUV, the new Volkswagen Tiguan and the upcoming next-gen Toyota Prius, we have covered 'em all.

To do a quick recap of the year that has gone by, we list the most popular reviews on our website in 2016.

Tata Tiago

Tata’s only new launch this year, the all-new Tiago, marked the start of a brand reinvention for the Indian automaker which is set to introduce models like the Hexa, the Nexon and the Kite 5 compact sedan in the coming year. Unlike the models launched before, i.e. the Zest and the Bolt, the Tiago is in essence an all-new car with it sharing little with other models. The base floorpan, however, comes from the original Indica. The design is also all-new with the car being shaped ground up.

Tata created headlines with the Tiago’s aggressive pricing and a wide list of equipment on top variants at the time of launch. But how did it perform on our roads? Read our review here.

Maruti Vitara Brezza

Riding on the success of the Baleno last year, Maruti started 2016 with the launch of its first compact SUV, the Vitara Brezza. One of its most anticipated launches, the Brezza met with great response from the public, with demand for the compact SUV pushing the waiting period to over nine months post launch and sales driving past the 50,000 mark in October. Just what made the new Vitara Brezza so popular? Read our review for the answers.

Mahindra KUV100

Mahindra’s first indigenously developed car, the KUV100 is a direct rival to the likes of the Maruti Swift and Hyundai Grand i10. The car’s SUV-like styling differentiates itself from the rest of the segment. The compact SUV also marks the return of the front bench seat with a dedicated lap belt for the third passenger up front in its six-seat iteration. Read our review to know our thoughts about this little Mahindra.
