More Expert Reviews on Q7 and CLS [2014-2018]

2022 Audi Q7 Petrol 55TFSI First Drive Review

By Ninad Ambre19 Jan 2022

Audi has played its game well in India with the Q7 being one of its highest-ranking cars, even outranking some rivals. This SUV has been lauded not only for its size and space but also for its on- and off-road performance. This time the carmaker has taken its latest version a notch higher with updated styling, design, and features. However, it comes only with a petrol drivetrain, unlike its predecessor's diesel counterpart. Despite lacking the frugal bit now, it sure is at par in terms of performance and capability. Rather superior, for what it brings to the table.

Mercedes Benz CLS 250CDI

By Ninad Mirajgaonkar30 Jul 2015

The CLS is the stylised version of the Mercedes cars offering that extra bit of drama that is missing from their premium lineup. While the looks have been a hit with the Indian buyers, the big petrol engine and high price tag has been a spoilsport.
