The French carmaker has been under pressure over the past five years in the country, failing to make an impression on the sales charts mainly due to poor product planning. However, with the Basalt, the company seems
The Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 is back for a second generation, and the overall proposition remains the same as before. It’s a sister car to the AMG C 43 sports sedan, albeit with the practicality of an SUV and the sloping roof of a coupé. For many Indian buyers, this will likely be the more sensible
At Autocar India, we go to the ends of the Earth to get you the story first. In the past, we’ve been to Brazil, Indonesia, Egypt and half a dozen other countries, all so we can get behind the wheel nice and early. This time, we’ve come to an even more difficult-to-access place: China. And
Out goes the C 300 d and in comes the C 300.

The Octavia is to Skoda what the City is to Honda or the Swift is to Maruti – a product with a rich history and dominance in its segment, making it a brand in itself. For years, the Octavia was the stalwart for the Skoda brand in India, but the tide turning towards SUVs and
What you see here is the all-new eighth-gen BMW 5 Series. The version for India marks a break from tradition because it’s not as much about the person sat up front as it is about the one sat at the back. And that’s because, for the first time ever, we get the 5 Series in
For a couple of years now, Nissan India has had just one product – the Magnite compact SUV. And while that is a competent product, it bore the weight of the entire brand on its capable but small shoulders. The Japanese brand has now expanded its portfolio by bringing back the X-Trail to India after
Hanging onto the steering wheel for dear life while mumbling expletives is not what you imagine when you think of driving an S-Class.
