2019 BMW X7 video review

Compact SUVs - with their butch looks, competitive pricing, space, comfort and ground clearance - seem to be the perfect kind of car for the increasingly affluent Indian. And now there's a new one - the Mahindra XUV300. We bring along the Ford EcoSport, Tata Nexon and Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza to try and pick a winner.

Ford first launched the Freestyle crossover, then the Aspire facelift, so we kind of knew what to expect with the third member of the family, right? Well, not quite, as we found out on a drive in Jodhpur.

We were impressed by the diesel engine in the new Mahindra XUV300, but we'd already seen that before in 2018's Mahindra Marazzo. Now it's time for the all-new 1.2-litre turbo-petrol to prove its worth, and we spend some time with it in Mumbai's traffic to find out what it's made of.

The Mini Countryman takes a different approach to the compact luxury SUV formula, but then so does the Volvo XC40. Which one does it better? We drive them both to find out.

With 'just' 600hp from its twin-turbo V8, the Portofino is Ferrari's entry-level model, but don't let that put you off. As we found out on a drive through majestic Jaisalmer, it might just be the most usable Ferrari for everyday conditions.
